Do you have any wishlist for a corals ?

Yes, I did lose some colony with no reason.
Right now, I can't say which one is easier.
If they die, then they die. Just like that.

This is my dream SPS. I wish I can have it some day.
I have never seen even small frag here.

Montipora setosa


and this one, I almost got it.

The setosa are common now here in southern california, i will give mine to you if i could but that blue is very very nice is that a blue dragon ...lol
Since It looks like a red and purple dragon that Tony (the reefer that claims that has the original red and purple dragon ) he also might change the name after talking to Steve Tyree.

Can you order from coral farmers maybe they can ship to you ...

Hi Chingchai,
first of all congratulations to this very, very beautiful tank you have and the detailed info you gave us all, how you build it up. I also own a very little tank (some pictures I have posted on my webside http://www.shf-net.com/aquarium ) but of course there is nothing to compare with a tank like you have.
If you dont mind, I really would like to visit you next time I come to Thailand, to see that perfection in real. If you agree would it be possible to get your E-Mail Address, maybe in a Private Message that I can contact you?
Also thanks a lot for all the kindness in answering and give all information in so many questions in this thread.
A Last Question I would have: Is there any possibility to get SI-AM Ocean Products and AquaRaise Watertests in Europe (Austria), or can you give me a Address of good dealers/resellers in Thailand (Bangkok or in the South Songklah or Had Yai) where I can buy as Reseller ( we have a Shop for Marine Aquarium Supply here in Austria)?
Again Thanks Chingchai and all the Best for the future.
Berny

Lawrence. Thanks.
Now our LFS has some contacts with US farmers.
Hope I can have this Setosa soon.

Hi Bernie,

Thank you so much.
Yes, you are welcome to see my tank.
I did PM you my email address and my friend's contact so you can buy SI-AM Ocean and Aquaraise product from him.

All the best,

No trouble at all.
They are so cute and good manner.

That is great to hear. My local shop had a male in but way out of the classroom budget

I love the look of the triggers but have always been a bit fearful of them

Hey Chingchai, been a while since I followed this thread religiously...

That said I just searched every page since November for references to your ventralis and I have questions if you don't mind.

Primarily, did you do anything special to get them eating? How often do you find you have to feed them? Any additional tips on keeping them? At some point, I'd like to get just one and keep it in a tank with a small group of resplendent anthias to see how I do with a high difficulty species.


Thanks!

Ching, I think you need a Personatus Pair.

I noticed you removed the Junceella sp. Any reason in particular?

Hey Ching, I tried calling a couple of time, but your phone is always busy. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Anyways, I will be in Bangkok tomorrow, and will be visiting the Siam Ocean World. I would like to visit you on 1/23 at around 9 or 10am. Let me know if this is ok. Also how far are you from 69 Sukhumvit Soi 4? Either email me your address, vulteiv@yahoo.com, or pm. Vince

1/23 is fine with me.
It takes about twenty minute by car from your location to my house.
Mail already sent.

ChingChai,

Oh man WOW!!! Honestly you need another Bigger show tank ... I'm serious. Judging from the limited space for more new additions I'd say you may wanna reconsider hmmm?

Looking forward to 2012 ... sometime in late July alrighty?

Keep up the excellent hobby!!

Paul

Hey Ching, Tremendous work!

But the best of all is the harmony of this system.

My sincere congratulations for this accomplishment

Thanks!
For the Ventralis, I have no special tip to make them eating.
You should try to feed them more often once they are in QT tank with different kind of food.
Or you may choose the one that already eat at the shop.
