Thanks PurpleUP, is sure real encouraging to hear from someone who have awarded NTOM from RC!
My equipments and husbandry is very basic and simple. Really can't compare to the rest happy.gif
j'field

Thanks again luusreef for your compliments, happy.gif
Will try to show a fts as soon as my tank is fully stock up.
But for the time being, will show a bit more of my corals happy.gif
Seawolf
Awesome looking tank, any chance of a FTS?
spanko
WOW! Beautiful color. You have done well with your tank. It is about 205 liters yes? Please allow us to see a full tank shot, you do not have to wait to fill it up, you can keep posting as you get new things. That way we can see what it looks like now and how it looks as you add more. You are too humble, you tank is not ugly, it is very nice.

Not too sound like a broken record, but Awesome Tank! tongue.gif

Thank you for sharing, it looks really nice! You are being too modest saying that your tank is "humble and ugly".

Often simple and basic is the best way to go. If it works for you, don't change what you are doing. I know there are lots of beautiful reef tanks on RC that are decked out with all the latest fancy and expensive equipment, but it's not necessary. There are just as many great looking and successful reef tanks that are as simple and basic as it gets. You will find reef keeping philosophy here on NR is generally different than the philosophy on RC.

Now get busy and post a FTS for us to see!!!!!! smile.gif (If you haven't figured it out, you are not allowed to post pics of your reef without including a FTS wink.gif .)

IGNORED!
you should be asking for photos of their natural habitat, not for specimens! BAD!



Very nice tank. Very nice!

*sigh*...so true sad.gif

(I would greatly appreciate any and all pics you may have of reefs, lagoons, and seagrass beds in Singapore, especially if they happen to include mini carpet anemones [S. tapetum] - I am working on a biotope tank and would love ideas, suggestions, etc. THANKS!)

Thanks spanko, tat's a coco worm happy.gif

WOW that is a great snail butt photo too! I like how the background is out of focus just enough to still allow you to ID what it is. That is a great picture.
Toomin
what is your fish stock list?
Matty1124
bowdown01.gif your tank is great... i love how your zoas have grown together like that... did they start out as small frags?
TJ_Burton
Great setup and placement of corals! Stunning tank.

That tank is AMAZING!!!

How many gallons is it.
j'field
bowdown01.gif Thanks everyone for your kind words and comments. I feel that there is still lots of room for improvement for my tank. happy.gif

Toomin- 9 fishes : 1 Yellow Tang, 1 Blue Tang, 1 Bicolor Blenny, 1 Arc Eye Hawkfish, 1 Whitetail Pymgy Angel, 3 Blue Chromis, and a Green Spotted Mandarin. Don't think i will stock up anymore fishes.

Matty1124- Some of my zoas started as a small frag and they grew bigger, some other were already quite big when i first got it. happy.gif Not all are growing well all the time, i had afew pest encounter like snails, worms in the past and lost a small amount of zoas. But was glad that is now under control and hope that it stays that way forever happy.gif If only i got more space for them to spread and grow more sleep.gif

Apache- 65cm x 60cm x 60cm / 1000 = 234litres
Litres to gal= 234litres x 0.264= 61.776gallons (hope i did the correct calculation) happy.gif

TJ_Burton- Looking at your tank, my is nothing comparing to yours. Frankly speaking, your tank is even more stunning wub.gif blush.gif

Will post more pics this weekend. happy.gif
Duncan
Hi, nice to see another singaporean on here! You got some great-looking zoas there. Mind if I ask which lfs you got them from?
SPS20
What a gorgeous tank! If only singapore were not so far away.
constantocean
probably one of my favorite tanks i have seen in a while.
wow! 60 gallons? i guess i can see that in perspective now. it seemed much smaller at first. but now that i see how tiny those zoas look in comparison to the tank, it makes sense.

this guys is like the reverse fishnemo.
j'field
Thanks guys, I've got my zoas all around from different LFS in my country and also afew from my friendly reefer friend too. happy.gif
