Isn't he cute?

very very cute !!!

[sfk7]

wow... look at the colours!

which freshwater spp comes close to that

[doubleace]

Wah..really nice and striking color...

[Jervis]

Seems like you guys really like this fish

Anyway, a marine tank will never be complete by just looking at still images. Now here's a video that showcases the wave effect.



This is the Tunze Nano Wavebox that's doing all the hardwork

[Jervis]

Those SPS you saw previously look very different in real life





These are common Acropora milleporas... reefers keep A. millepora because of their sweeping tentacles. The random wave effect is highly desirable in a SPS to a point it's one of the determining factors in keeping these stony corals happy.

The wave looks more like my boy rocking my tank!

Amazing, now I'm really swayed towards setting a marine tank instead of a freshwater tank for my new house next year

Jevis, just curious what's the cost of this setup in total? Could you advise roughly what will be the cost that I could be looking at for a reasonable mid-end 4ft tank? Last time I check and LFS told me around 8-10k including equipments and live stocks

Wow a marine tank in your new home will be great!

I didn't really calculate the total cost (in fact I don't calculate for all my setups, be it big or small) Not much point in doing so really. The 8 to 10k budget is pretty decent for a mid-end 4ft tank. Focus your budget on an oversized protein skimmer and a flexible lighting system that will enable you to progress from LPS to SPS. Equipments like Calcium Reactor will require expert tuning, therefore not necessary at this moment as it can crash the tank if misused.

If only we have a freshwater fish that match the splendid colours of the Mandarin.

This is the best marine journal I have ever followed, thanks Jervis!

Glad you enjoy the thread

More update coming up shortly!

Time to update some SPS progress.

Let's start with this relatively rare piece of Green Birdsnest... I acquired it off a reefer friend last month.

Growth is very significant for this SPS... probably one of the biggest calcium and carbonate "suckers" in the tank I am very pleased with the progress on this specimen.
