Like all other reefers, my tank has its ups and downs and I'm constantly trying to make it better!
Also there isn’t any reef shop in Serbia. All my corals came from the different sides of world. My personal satisfaction is even a bigger having in mind the fact that we have no any available LFS capable to offer any marine fishes or corals in our local market and that I live so far away from tropical seas ( SE Europe). Therefore, I was forced to be in touch with a lot of fish keepers from neighboring countries as well as with fish keepers from Germany, Holland and Singapore, in order to find needed marine organisms I intended to breed in my tanks and to find the easiest way to be supplied with them. According to the above-mentioned, it is needless to say that I have started to collect corals for my reef tanks a long time ago.
This time I would like to thank to all my friends worldwide that make me able to rise and continuously enlarge my coral collection. Of course, I would specially like to thank dear friends TK. Haw and KB. Haw from Singapore who helped me a lot with coral and fish supply.

In this moment there is 4 pair of ocellaris and one of percula clown.

Even more great shots! Are those Anthias I see? What do you feed yours? I never see mine eat, but I have had him for 5 weeks now and he hasn't passed yet. I have no idea what he is eating..

OctopusBG · #37 (**permalink**) 01-20-2009, 02:59 PM

I feed my antias with frozen artemia, Mysis shrimp, pelet and flake food.

BLKBRDTA · #38 (**permalink**) 01-20-2009, 03:33 PM

I see, my Bartlett Anthias never shows any signs of intrest when I feed the other the Mysis, pellets, flakes, or macro algae. However he does swim in the current and seek out something very small, opens up and eats something. But I can't figure out what that something is, I have tried everything but he only gets active at night when the Lunars go on.

Have you tried to feed with alive Artemia salina?

OctopusBG · #40 (**permalink**) 01-21-2009, 11:47 AM

Some new shots...

Krissy thanks.

BLKBRDTA · #43 (**permalink**) 01-21-2009, 02:21 PM

Hey Octo, to answer your question, no I haven't tried feeding him Artemia salina. I will check my LFS and see if they offer it, thank you for the tip though. New pictures look awesome, second one down from the top is my new favorite.

Hey otco, i was wondering how ur emperor angel fairs in your tank, i was under the inpresure all large angels were satan when it came to a reef/sps tnak being they eat oral alot? HAve you ahd issue with it? If so how did you deal with the angel?

john

OctopusBG · #49 (**permalink**) 01-22-2009, 12:56 PM

This fish has been in my tanks for 3 years and I haven't got any problems. I think, good diet and various food are solution.

But it isn't a rule. Sometimes some majestic angel wants to eat lps.

OctopusBG · #50 (**permalink**) 01-22-2009, 01:00 PM

After 2 years in my tank this fish (regal angel) started to nip my LPS corals and that's why I putt him in my only fish tank.
