46 MONTHS

Some of the fishes are getting bigger and more aggressive and I need to find ways to net them out so that I can reduce the bioload and add new fishes following that. It is true that it is easy to add new introductions but it is difficult to remove them thereafter.

Aquarium 1 (1 feet cube - 27 litres)
The juvenile Blue-Lipped Angel didn't make it, which was not unexpected with its reputation of being not easy to keep. Out of the three juvenile Clown Fish, one mysteriously disappeared and I couldn't find its body. It was the outcast which were often chased away by the other two.

I also gave away 3 fishes - the pair of damsels and the Golden Maroon Clown, to Ah Heng from AquaMarin on 18 Oct 16. My plan was to eventually consolidate everything in a single aquarium. At this moment, that is my plan but whether it will happen remains to be seen.

I saw a bobbit worm hiding in the big rock and I have to find a way to remove it someday. My sea urchin also started to shed all its spines after I changed the water 2 days ago and I am really worried about it. I transferred it to aquarium 3 in case it is starving.

The livestock are:
  • Fishes
    • 2 common Clown Fishes
    • Royal Gramma
  • Invertebrates

Aquarium 3 (3 x 1.5 x 1.5 feet and sump - 250 litres)
I recently found that the Maxspect Gyre wasn't rotating and took it out for a wash. After assembling it, it still didn't work. Right now, I don't think it is worth the money to buy any more of this and will likely still to the conventional wavemaker.
