Some one said you were thinking of a new build?

Chingchai, you do such a Masterpice, and IF the rumour is true, that you were looking to do a new build, man what you could do with a "Hanging" Garden similar to this?

I was wondering what the lighting over the display tank is?

Some of mine isn't doing well either.
My lighting is:
- 8 x 400W Ushio 20000K
- 4 x VHO 140W (Aquasun)
- 3 x VHO 110W {Aquasun)
- 3 x VHO 110W (454)

Haksar. Thanks.
I don't like to do sequel of their growth shots.
Anyway, I will try.
I buy both colony and frag.

I don't want to sound ungrateful, but do you have the capability to post 720 or 1080 resolution vids?

Thx,

Dave. Thanks.
That one is Chrysiptera rollandi (Rolland's Demoiselle). It is very similar to Chromis nitida.
This clip video has been shot and edited by my brother's friend.
So I don't have any idea why he re-size the resolution.
Maybe he worried about too big file to download on youtube.

myerst2. Thanks.
I got this one about four years ago from HK.
I special ordered from my LFS owner who had a good connection with his supplier in HK.
And it took almost a year to get this fish.

Who said that? It is untrue.
Maybe in the next five year or so?

Thanks for the link.
That tank is quite an inspiration.

Well my friend I now believe it will be stuffed in like 2 years if your growth rate continues.
You will have to trim alot of corals.
Great job Ching keep up the great work.....

P.S. Let me know when you have frag pack's ready to ship

Paulca916. Thank you so much.
I wish I can send some frag to you.
But as you know, coral is illegal in Thailand. What a shame!

Sorento. Thanks.
Welcome to Reef Central.
Any song you can recommend for my next video clip?

chingchai · 08/29/2010, 08:51 PM

Now I will begin to collect rare and colorful starfish.
Let's start with this one.

Biscuit Starfish, Tosia queenslandensis

Franco724 · 08/29/2010, 09:29 PM

Those stars are stunning! I've always wanted one. Great tank Ching, I just spent 3 hours reading the entire thread. Totally worth it.

ChingChai, I thought starfish were NOT reef friendly.....or am I misinformed?

bullitr · 08/29/2010, 10:08 PM

Peter! Otherwise it's reef safe

Yes, now that you mention it, I see it does not have the black stripes on the tail like C. nitida.

That's okay. I am just being greedy. It is a very nicely made video.

Some of them are not reef safe but not all.

Franco724, RobbReef.
Thank you.

All the thing you using to run your system light bill is cheap. Starfish most of them is reef safe.

bullitr · 08/30/2010, 12:16 PM

What are you going to feed the starfish? I'm under the impression that the diet of most starfish is barely known?

They eat micro-organisms and detritus. No need to feed.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Sir
if i can recall, you once said.
If the gardener is satisfied with his garden he doesn't deserve that garden.....or Something like that.your tank is very close to what you have envision.just few more fish and rare inverts.I sure there is no room for more corals .
I hoping you keep it for a long while before the 5000 gallon upgrade! Lol
