| a full height aquarium |
I introduced 2 small Flame Angels to this aquarium but they both ended up dead. I guess they are not suitable for a tank of this pico size given that they feed a lot.
The livestock are:
- Fishes
- 3 common Clown Fishes
- Invertebrates
- Turbo Snails
- Cleaner Skunk Shrimp
- Camel Shrimp
- Corals
- LPS
- Supersun Coral
- Fox Coral
- Soft Corals
- 2 pink Rose Bud Tip Anemones
- cyan Tree Coral
- pulsing Xenia
- Polyps
- green Palythoa
- Zoas
- green Star Polyps
- Macroalgae
- green Algae
- Chaetomorpha algae
The technical information is as follows:
- Atman HF-0600 HOB Filter
- Maxspect Razor Nano 60W (10,000K)
- Tunze Nano Osmolator
- AOL 60 litres chiller

Aquarium 3 (3 x 1.5 x 1.5 feet and sump - 250 litres)
A number of the sps have really coloured up more vibrantly and I am seeing a lot of green in some of the sps that I bought previously. Even some colonies that browned out previously coloured up under the AI and Sanrise lights. A purple Acropora is also developing a green base, which I never thought it had.
Sadly, I have 4 large colonies of sps - 3 Milleporas and 1 Acropora, showing stn and I have already lost 2 of them despite making multiple frags of them. 1 is left with a small remaining frag and the most recent one is a blue/green Acropora which really coloured up so much. I just made lots of big frags of the latter today and hope that at least a frag of it would survive in here. Sometimes this hobby can be really frustrating and hurts the pocket a lot. Just when I thought I mastered something, another thing goes wrong just to prove that I am a total idiot. I am not entirely sure if it was because I disturbed this aquarium too much recently removing lots of the basal sand and live rocks and adding 2 Aquaroche rocks as replacement.
My gsp was having chemical warfare with my Duncan coral and the latter lost the battle. There is at least a dead head with several shrunken ones beside the ever-spreading gsp, which I so loved. It is so ironic. I also stopped introducing any new Yellow Tang to this aquarium since the last few I added seemed to starve to death.
I bought the new Jebao Cross Flow CP-25 in early July and after using it for a few days, the red warning lights came on repeatedly. So I had no choice but to disconnect it and sent it for replacement at AquaMarin. Ah Heng replaced it with a set that he is using in the store and I had no problems with it since. I was told mine was the first set sent for replacement. Sigh, why am I always so lucky with marine equipment?

WhatYouSea sells coral frags on the internet for people with saltwater aquariums. A coral frag is a small piece of live coral that a person can add to their tank,and grow out. The niche should be blogs related to saltwater aquariums, and coral propagation and sales. Let me know if you need more information.
