Why do all Europeans have the best tanks? Most seem to use T5's with either zeovit or prodibio and their colors are amazing. Not fair!

Very, very nice. What and how often do you feed your fish.



I feed my fish 2 a 3 times a day

- With frozen mix of Artemia,Cyclops,Red plankton

- And dry food I use OSI spirulina,Cyclopeeyze,Salifert engery plus

I use vodka only when I am out of Zeostart 2


Here is my dosing schedule

Daily
-2ml zeostart 2
-5ml B Balance
-2 drops amino concentrate
-5 drops stylo poci glow


When necessary
-Iron concentrate
-Kaliumjodid fluor

Weekly
-2.5ml zeospur 2
-QFI Element mix


I will make a picture of my lighting setup soon;)

The T5 fixtures are ATI sunpowers. The colors in my tank are nice, but I assume they can even be emproved. In the frag-tank I want some special nano fish, I also want to add more fish in the main tank

I have the bk mini 200 for about 9 months now. its a Monster! I feed my tank 4 times a day with no problems.

Something has changed in the most current photos outside of aquascaping?


Couple questions for ya?
Do you have pics of the tank when it was setup?
How long has this 120g been up and running?
Do you buy colonies or are all your corals frags that have grown into colonies?
Any full photos of your sump?

again, great looking tank. :thumbsup:

My tank is about 3 years old. Most of the corals are bought as frags and are now little colonies. I wil post some old pictures soon;)

[skeeter-doc]

great purple coloring on that montipora digitata, and I like that you can see where you have fragged the corals, and they still look awesome! thanks for the updates!

thanks and yes i did see his tank thread! i sent him a pm and email but no luck on him answering. I tried booking at his hotel but he's all booked out so i got a hotel near him. I will try to pass by his hotel so i hope he doesn't mind me snooping around. I'm hoping he's just too busy to check him messages.

Dear michaelnr1,

Very nice tank. I also have a 120 gallon and tanks like yours are inspiring.

I have a question about your bulb combination. I know it has been asked but I don't think that you answered it.

What is your exact bulb combination from front to back of the tank?

I have (8) T5's on my 120 also and its time to change the bulbs. Looking for ideas. Your colors are amazing!

Thanks in advance, great tank. Keep the pics coming.
