Both are eating and swimming well.

Sorry to hear will you get a replacement one?

Believe this got lost in translation, Ching ...

It was intended/meant as what "a shame" that all those fishes have perished, likely directly/indirectly resultant of/from all the recent major changes, not "shame on you" for losing/killing all those fishes.

Id like to hope all my past intentions/thoughts/words, toward you and your reef system(s), have been interpreted as purely helpful/knowledgable/inquisitive and with the best interest of your reef/specimens in mind

In the US, "such a shame..." would mean "I'm sad for your loss."

CRD. Thank you for your explanation.

Joe, Tactics. Thank you.

Awesome tank thread, build and OP's hard work in detailing the build, write up and pictures. KUDOS to you, the tank is very inspirational.

humaguy · 05/23/2013, 07:39 PM

so sorry to hear about the outrigger...

bullitr · 05/23/2013, 10:34 PM

Sir
Sorry to ask you in your Amazing thread
Is Paul ( last version ) still around?
I know he replaces your old tank with glass hopefully it did not crack.

Your tank and his are my number 1 and 2 favorite of all time.

Paul's tank is still running in good shape.
He did take out some big colony and frag them.
I will ask him to update his tank soon.

chingchai · 05/25/2013, 10:32 AM

Today I want to shoot some updated pics but unfortunately I am running out of time.

dave.m · 05/25/2013, 10:51 AM

Is it Christmas in Bangkok?

humaguy · 05/25/2013, 11:36 AM

stunning...love the xmas tree worms...

maroun.c · 05/25/2013, 12:32 PM

Amazing shots.
Its fascinating how the tank has an immediate mature look straight after a restart.

Tremelle · 05/25/2013, 01:32 PM

The pic with the Christmas tree worms is stunning. Hell, all the pics are stunning.

Thank you sir
Also it seems like most Thai have obsession with marine aquarium since every Thai restaurant I have been to have a marine aquarium display.

Chingchai, That cluster of Christmas tree worms is incredible. I don't think I have ever seen anything like it........where did you get it?

Ching. As Ive already mentioned to you elsewhere, those recently collected Spirobranchus Porites are some of the nicest colonies Ive seen collected in recent years ... One of my most cherished species and a determining factor of why I committed to dedicating my life to Marine Biology/Coral Reef Preservation for a few years, previously/in the past

Unfortunately, the uneducated/ill informed/outright careless of the ReefKeepers have been/are killing them off at a sickeningly rapid pace ...

Many do not realize the magnitude of this Symbiosis, let alone just how difficult it is/the degree of skill, comprehensive knowledge and work ethic needed to maintain the Spirobranchus worm(s) in captivity ... Wouldn't you agree, Ching ?

Im glad such a fine example/specimen/colony of this species will be on display in your World-Class DSPS system, please keep me updated/informed as to its progress (PM is ok) !

The absolute best of luck with this magnificent species !

Peter. I got it from LFS here. He collects them from southern part of Thailand.
Sorry I can't mention the name of the place.
Here is the big colonies in my main tank. The small one is in my softie tank.
