Brooklyn Johnny Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Hey Dan this may have been asked before but where are you originally from? Link to comment
danano Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 I grew up in Malaysia... after high school, I went to UT Austin (class of '91)... hook'em horns! . Thereafter, I worked in various parts of the US (i.e. Dallas, Boston & LA) until end '95 before moving back to Kuala Lumpur. Then moved, got married and settled down in Singapore a few years later... so here I am Link to comment
Dustin Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Wow, that is a lot. Kuala Lumpur, that just flows. Isnt that home to the largest building in the world? Link to comment
Brooklyn Johnny Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Neato Dan... Dustin I think they're called the Petronas Towers... my wife and I saw them on the Travel Channel a while back... tallest I believe until the new structures go up to replace the Twin Towers... not sure though... Johnny Link to comment
danano Posted July 5, 2003 Author Share Posted July 5, 2003 Yup, the Petronas Twin Towers in KL are the tallest... until China completes theirs in Shanghai. Hey Dustin, I've been to NC... Durham to be precise, and dropped by the Chapel Hill campus as well. Johnny, I drove thru the mountains in VA during peak foliage, absolutely stunning! Back to reefing... day 3 and my new tricolors appear to be doing well Link to comment
Kalanianaole Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 Your tank is something from a dream. So good. What is the name of the smooth, white coral (I assume it's SPS) to the right of the tri-color acros in the last pic you posted? And what do you use to glue/putty down your SPS frags? Link to comment
Dustin Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 Chapel Hill is cool, Duhram is really fun if you know what to do there, lots of family lives there. Johnny, we need to do some thermos trading sometime, I cant do any acros except M. Digitata but I would love some LPS, or ricordea frags. I will PM you in a few months and see if you are interested. Anyways, danano, your tank is gorgeous, I would love to see it live and alive Link to comment
danano Posted July 6, 2003 Author Share Posted July 6, 2003 Kalani... it's not an SPS although it calcifies and resembles one. It's a Fire Coral and belongs to the genus, Millepora, which is comprised of calcareous hydrozoans. Thanks Kalani, Dustin... for your generous feedback. Link to comment
danano Posted July 7, 2003 Author Share Posted July 7, 2003 Millepora (fire coral), a light tan/mustard color with whitish growth tips... hardy and a fast grower... bottom right Link to comment
heuerfan Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Danano, simply amazing dude, your tank is an inspiration to us all! And i thought people in Singapore/Indo only raised Arowana's and Flower Horn's Link to comment
danano Posted July 11, 2003 Author Share Posted July 11, 2003 Thanks Heuerfan. Many fish farms out here do focus on tropical fish such as koi as well as arowanas and flower horn like you mentioned. Nevertheless, we do have about half a dozen or so marine fish/coral farms. They do both wholesale and retail... which is good for reefers here . There are also about another half a dozen LFS that do marine. Here's a pic I took 2 days ago... did some re-scaping on the right to make room for two new 3-4" acro colonies. Link to comment
danano Posted July 11, 2003 Author Share Posted July 11, 2003 a. cerealis and a. secale... bali slimer in the middle and green hairy on the far right. *** notice the new 1/2" whitish growth tip/branch in the middle of the green bali slimer... also, the body and growth tips of the hairy green have a somewhat lavender color.

Crakeur Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 damn man, it keeps getting better. best line ever: did some re-scaping on the right to make room for two new 3-4" acro colonies how the hell did you find the room to squeeze those puppies in there? Link to comment

I fragged my green bali slimer and super glued the main colony to the LR near the front, moved the hairy green and built a shelf on the right-front for the pink tip colony. The slimer frag is now in front of the purple tort on the left. Also... I moved my birdsnest to the top-left. I picked the smallest puppies... and I was very fortunate that they fit nicely into the spaces created. All this took me about 2 hours to do. Link to comment
danano Posted July 14, 2003 Author Share Posted July 14, 2003 tricolor under actinics... Link to comment
Kalanianaole Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 It's been over two weeks since the last post. Any new pics or developments from my favorite tank? Link to comment

Will take some pics tomorrow and post em. Developments... on Sunday, I got a 1" frag of a pastel yellow branching porites. Besides that, I've just been kicking back and watching the babies grow and color up! I've also been busy setting up my new GIANT NANO. It's a 30gal. Dimensions are 2'x1.5'x1.5'. I moved my 5g nano over and added about 20lbs of Fiji and Vanuatu LR. I plan to add another 10lbs of cured LR to complete the reefscape. It's got a 4" DSB. Complementing the main tank will be a 12g DIY sump/fuge. Link to comment
tsalter Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Great tank man!!! I am in awe T Link to comment
danano Posted July 31, 2003 Author Share Posted July 31, 2003 Thanks tsalter. Here's a pic I took today. Picture's a little blurry... the acrylic is due for cleaning. My new pastel yellow branching porites frag is to the left of the pipe organ. Birdsnest frags continue to grow like weeds. New corallites are sprouting everywhere! Link to comment
