Local reefer Hong Kong tank tours.

[ylreefer]

Hey everyone. Hope your all enjoying your reefs back home. Looking to get back myself in a few months but for now I’m based in aging Kong where I set up Hong Kong Reef club about 2 years ago.

In the coming months I’ll be doing some tank tours of any members I can get around to see before I leave here. So I thought it could be a nice idea to share what the HK reefing scene looks like with you all back home.

If this is of interest let me know here and I’ll post what we do here. It’s a rather big scene out here and thankfully very affordable. When I say affordable I mean you can pick up an 6-8” emperor angelfish in adult form for around £120-£150.00. I have no idea how much they go for in the Zuk now but I’m pretty sure it would be a heck of a lot more .

Looking forward to sharing if anyone is interested.

Hey everyone. So tank tours HK is underway and the first visit was an interesting one. I got to help a fellow club member with an entire rescape of his 4ft water box reef which was pretty cool.

This is a system I’m familiar with as I plumbed in his frag system a couple of years ago now along with a full electrics install, So it only made sense that we strip clean and redo the frag system with the new frag racks that I recently built for him .

I remember when we first installed this tank, this member was no stranger to fishy things as he had a freshwater fish farm in Thailand, . He got into reefing not so long ago but has been amazingly successful and at one point had some of the most amazing corals in his system.

I attribute this to his very strict QT program which is super nice to see. I can’t say there any many local reefers doing that these days. Which I can understand due to the lack of space here in Hong Kong.

Unfortunately he lost his passion to his own admission and let the tank go a little. Hopefully today we have changed that and given him a “new” and fresher reef that I have no doubt will continue on to be another great Hong Kong reef tank full of exciting creatures once again.

Throughout the evening we removed rock, sifted through the coral graveyard that we all have hiding behind our rock scape, scraped algae along with sheets of GSP and did our best to avoid the bristle worms, don’t need that to end the day do we . We even did a bit of fragging to while we were at it. (FYI you HK reefers) and of course Mr fluffy never misses the opportunity for a photo shoot .

I’ll try to do another update on this tank in a few months time to see how it’s progressing. Until then I’ll leave you all with some before and after shots and what went on in between. As well as his little pod farm we all wished we had space for.

We have another tank tour coming up soon to a rather special tank that I’m super excited to see. and it will definitely be worth the wait so come back in the middle of June for that one.

Until then happy reefing folks.
