2011-05-20T10:56:00.000+08:00

Makin lama makin slow posting kat blog nih ... nak kata masa tak cukup .. dah cukup tuhan bagi 24 jam satu hari, ini bermakna kelemahan diri sendiri menguruskan masa =D. Walau cam mana pon, memang tak ada apa nak di post kan kat sini. Balik balik cerita benda sama bosan plak. Hari yang di tunggu makin dekat, makin berdebar jantung menanti. Ikan pon cam biasa semua pon ok jek, ikan Copperband dah

2011-02-21T20:37:00.001+08:00

Went to GV yesterday, not sure if the corals and fishes just arrived or old stock. I'm not going to any LFS recently so not quite sure BUT they have another more shipment for fish and coral for today. Anyway that's the news i got yesterday, so not sure if the stock arrived. Other than looking around, managed speak to a couple who are interested to terjun masuk lubang ... heheheh. To be honest i

FISH Philosophy

2011-02-18T19:46:00.000+08:00

Joined this FISH Philosophy Training at the office yesterday... however it not something related to any tank! Its just like motivation course.

Coral Reef

2011-02-16T07:54:00.000+08:00

Recently read bout coral reef writeup which is a very good explanation bout coral reef here. Coralscience.org explained very well bout the coral anatomy, zooxanthelle, how coral reproduced etc and the most important its very easy to understand.

Expecting newborn in June ;)

2011-02-15T21:45:00.003+08:00

Alhamdullilah .... am i too excited? not sure myself ... but i'm happy for myself and my family for future addition to family ;) been trying to refrain myself to add or buy anything new to my tank but i did add cleaner fish last month which i think its ok since the fish not cost the bomb. So what next? maybe slowly shopping for newborn instead of aquarium equipment and LS. Till then i'll

Finaly there is test kit for organic!

2011-02-10T07:28:00.002+08:00

All set.. jom balik kampung

Been a week plus already trying to finish up regular tank maintainance. Lots of thing happened... as for yesterday during skimmer cleaning, i broke the Rio pump impeller. Not really a big thing which i can glue it back. I broken the front part while trying to pull it out. I did tried out what and how good the pump running without that part but its only produced good flow at limited time only...

Berkarat ke?

2011-01-27T09:39:00.000+08:00

Aku suka soklan@statement nih .. nanti satu rumah berkarat sebab ada aquarium air masin dalam rumah. Untuk makluman tuan tuan dan puan puan statement tu adalah salah .. kekkek Kenapa? kalau pernah belajar dedulu kat sekolah ... air yg tersejat tu tak ada mengandungi apa apa kan .. cam air suling tu .. apa kandungan dia? kalau ada garam sekali nampaknya hujan air masin lah .. tak gitu? sama lah

Macam macam

2011-01-26T08:51:00.000+08:00

Last week i tot i wanna do big water change .. but instead turned out only just a 30% wc. Very super slow water pressure last week make the wait more painful. Already waiting a day before that for container to fill up and wait another tong to fill up not my liking. Since the pump will not auto off when they full so i have to always check it... so I just gave up waiting and continue with whatever

Feed a fish

2011-01-25T07:33:00.000+08:00

Its not hard to feed a fish isn't it? But dun expect they take whatever we throw at them! I think the first principal is need to know type of the fish, is it herbivorous or omnivorous or carnivorous? For my case the herbivorous should be the easiest to feed. At least can be feed using nori sheet. But most of us will prefer the fishes take the pallet food. Yeah its a lot easier, we can simply put

Current LS

2011-01-23T20:56:00.000+08:00

Not much of colorful coral in tank so far, all coral are only cheap cheap coral so dun expect it to be a stunning coral. As for now i might stop adding any to the tank for awhile cause something big will happen soon ... ;)

Ikan : Cleaner Fish @ Dr Fish

2011-01-22T21:56:00.000+08:00

Been added this fish bout several weeks ago... it seem doing fine till now.. eating and clean well =D. This fish also known as "Oscar" in Shark Tale. As seen on the movie the main function for this fish is clean clean clean the other fish ... and not necessary tongue scrubber! This fish known as hard to keep and should not been in trade anyway cause it will end up die. Anyway its was my daughter

Thinking to reset water parameter

2011-01-18T21:27:00.004+08:00

Its been awhile already since the Ca and other element is out of safe points. As for Ca alone its always at range 340-280... It will be wasted if i'm try to correct it by adding more Ca etc.. that what i thought. In any case water change is always my favorite... even doing large water change is required more salt, its much cheaper compare to add more Ca. What if something goes wrong? more money

2010 Recaps

2011-01-01T11:24:00.000+08:00

Its was a great year for me, lot of thing happening in this hobby. For me bio pellet was the best product i experienced in 2010 but for the others it might be different. I have no comment bout that since i dun experience any of that ;) In other note, Jan last year was only several months away after my 1st coral. Anyway i lost all my polyps which i start with in the beginning last year and still
