Corey. This white sand from CaribSea is quite good.
Once it is settled, it is very clean. And I just shift it once or twice a week.

A great dinner in Singapore during Aquarama:
It was my pleasure to meet up with Koji Wada, Jake Adam, Julian Sprung etc. and local reefers from Singapore.
Thank you Joseph Tan (http://www.facebook.com/MarineAquaristSocietySG) for the arrangement.
Hope to meet you guys again.

Do you have any tip to keep them?
What I know is we have to keep them away from some fishes and put them in low light. Anything else?
Ching. Yes, I can suggest/share with you some important aspects/information regarding the care/feeding/etc of Spirobranchus ... I will write a detailed post, for your review, once I find the time.

They are a magnificent species !

Looking forward to helping/working with you, to ensure those Spirobranchus specimen(s) thrive in your DSPS system

Sorry I never count total species of coral in my tank. Quite a number. I guess.

I use this website to keep my pictures.

texou82. Thanks.
Hard to say which one is the easiest. Staghorn SPS should be one of those.

Oh my god..

I can't believe I read all 350 pages...

Chingchai you truly have one of the most amazing tanks
I've seen.
Your whole story means a lot for me!
Just a year ago I set up my own reef tank, just because I came
by the beginnings of your thread
Your dedication to this wonderful hobby formed an entire new generation
of reefers, I'm sure of that.

I would like to say thank you. Thank you deep from my heart
to be the inspiration for me to get in reefing, for always be brave to try
things no one has done so far and lastly for alle the knowledge I achieved
through this thread!

Best wishes to you and your family
Mathias

I recently bought the GoPro Black as well. I am having the same problem with the color. Your pics are still quite beautiful! As is your tank.

Me too. I'm very unhappy about how it renders my T5 lighting.

That aside, Ching, the tank is awesome.
