Don't try to figure it out, just enjoy it for its beauty

 

[Phildean]

love those fish

 

[gwaco]

I have this fish for six month.
A pair would be much better.

chingchai , just fyi . this fish is a liopropoma rubre (peppermint bass ) not carmabi .
i only bring this up as the price difference between the two is BIG ! i hope you didn't pay carmabi money for it .
btw i have the same fish in my 600 carribean tank so i know how beautiful this little guy is .

LOL. My wife knows not to ask about my setup! She knows too well that is more than she wants to know. But money is irrelavent. It's all about the end result. Great work. I love your latest pics and additions to the tank. As I said before, pure art!

Hi Ching,
Can you please comment on the Philips Moonlight Leads that you got?
How do you find their intensity and color and will they give the same fluorescence that regular Moonlights give?
Contacted the lighting Dep in Philips and they told me they have a 120 cm string of that Lead moonlight, Is it the same lenght that you have? One last question do you think it'll be too much light for my upgrade tank (300 G with 2 Meters length and 70 CM deapth)
Thanks for your help

words cant express how BEAUTIFUL your tank looks, thanks for sharing your experience with us.

 

[chingchai]

Love all the Ventralis Anthias! I hope they do well for you.

Brian. Thank you.

Yesterday they still showed good sign and start eating.

But today, maybe my luck runs out.
Half of them are dead. Don't know why.
Very feel depressed to see them lying on the sand, some are taken by Shrimp and Crab.
What a sad Sunday!...............

Rest in peace. My ventralis.

 

[chingchai]

wow the sofa came out rally nice! I love it. Does the acrylic stands have something under them like rubber feets or something to prevent scratching when you move them?

Yes, they put clear rubber feet at the bottom.

Thank you for your kind words.

Chingchai,
Is there a way to save this entire thread to a local file? You have so much detail and valuable information for those of us with large tank builds that I would hate to loose it. I am somewhat of a novice with respect to forum protocol so I don't know if what I am asking is permitted or possible.


Peter

Peter. I will summarize all details of this tank later.

 

[chingchai]

Chingchai,

The anthias are nice. are they eating yet?

Just like I mentioned on the above.

 

[chingchai]

Ching looking better and better all the time. Have you noticed any humidity issues in the building?

murfman. Thanks.
There is no humidity issue. Everything is fine.

 

[chercm]
