my favorite zoas in your tank right there biggrin.gif


Come to Thailand and I'll frag you some tongue.gif
.Newman.
ive been looking everywhere for those zoas, or ones that look similar, and i would seriously go to thailand and visit your tank for some if that were an option xD
I remember the costs involved from shipping my plakat betta pair in from thailand, and I'd rather not go through that again lol.

I change the way my light fixture hang. It looks much better. I am regret that I did not change it sooner.

I like this tank. smile.gif
.Newman.
ok, those are the chiller tubes sticking out of the tank right?
A question that came up was what if some animal gets sucked into the chiller and gets stuck inside the chiller and maybe clogs it? how do you go about that lol?

I'm taking note of your lighting. you have that rosette fixture there in the back and a huge HM lamp as your main lighting right?

Yes, it is the chiller tube but nothing is going to gets sucked into the chiller bcos it is the outlet tube. Plus the inlet tube is connect to the pump that have cover to protect anything to be sucked in.

To answer the lighting question, yes it is PL in the back and the MH hanging fixture as my main light. wink.gif

Crazy to think this is 5 gallon!!! Very nice
Mr. Microscope
Nice upgrade! Perhaps I missed this somewhere in your thread, but is that a standard 5.5 that you removed the rim from, or was it custom made?

Thank you AM.

The sad thing is the blue acro is not doing well right now. I think bcos of the flow in my tank is not sufficient.
And also the damn green stripe shroom is stinging it. Its color looks pale. So sad! T-T

It is custom made by local store.

nooo, its not the green striped shrom's fault! sad.gif

lol you shouldnt place SPS near shroms anyway. thats the one downside to a prosperous tank: everything overgrows everything else lol.

Actually it is. laugh.gif It normally stretch out and open up on the back of the tank (I think its base is under the rock).
But one day it get bored and start to stretch out and open up through a tiny hole in front of the blue acro.
Now whose fault is that? LOL biggrin.gif


.Newman.
haha, i was just kidding, I know the green shrom would sting, but i just love those things to death sad.gif

Its unfortunate that it started to do that, it looks great in your tank of course, its a shame if you have to completely remove it sad.gif

It is the same for me that is why I put them in in the first place. And it is impossible to remove them completely HAHA. There is a one way to do that is remove to rock it is on HEHE.
.Newman.
if you can scrape the base clean off the rock, the base cant grow back. thats how i transplanted my green shrom from its frag rock to where it is now in my tank. the base that I cut off on the frag rock never grew back...

Man, it is like you right beside me. You seem to know every details about my tanks. HEHE biggrin.gif
.Newman.
its just that the corals you posted from your 40 gal have incredible colors, so I default assume youre using MH xD
teemee
always impressive smile.gif
never seen a red bta in thailand, so guess that may not be from there.
but you are certainly close to some of the most beautiful reefs in the world!!!
and as always, i LOVE your pico, and can't wait to see pics of the BIG dt!

I love the colors that corals get when using MH. I do not like to pastel look that they get from LED.

Thank you teemee. You right, it is not from Thailand. Imported from somewhere else.
Sorry for the delay.So busy lately, I just never have a chance to be home when the light is on.
Dont have high expectation. HAHA it may not be that good as you expect. biggrin.gif

Actually I used to post in here somewhere. Let me find the thread for you.

As I always say that the green stripe shrooms are so annoying, I remove almost all of them out of the tank.
The ones left in the tank are on the spot I could not access. HAHA

Yes I have. Do not know where they are from. I am trying to suck them out every water change.
.Newman.
yeah i noticed some in the bottom portion of your FTS sad.gif
likely they were from one of your SPS frags? i may be wrong.


and yes how do you prevent all those corals from nuking eachother?
