Merhaba Eren Bey akvaryumunuzu yabancı forumlarda paylaşmanız çok güzel tanınalım biraz.

[ejk17]

Great looking tank! That is what a lot of us are striving for!

A quick question..

You have 11 yellow tangs, were they all put into the tank at the same time or added a couple at a time? Was there or is there any aggression?


Once again, Awesome tank!

Evan

[PSU REEFER]

Stunning colors! and love the 11 yellow's

[erenyel]

Thank you, I put 5 yellow tang firstly and then 6 more.

There is no aggression between yellow tangs or other tangs any time, yellow tangs generally swim together.

[mmoner]

This is the best tank so far i've seen from Turkey, in fact i guess it's using brand new dosing solutions that again %100 made in Turkey.

[bagz727]

Wow, well done!!

[rkaires]

You have an awesome system erenyel. Well done. Excellent photography as well. Can we see a picture of your equipment?

That is an awesome system you have.

[c-me-fish]

Very nice tank! Those are some huge rocks you have on top! I really like the effect the 3 boulder create: the overhang, the cave, and the shelf. Well done!

[Fish4Me2]

Amazing tank, and growth. What's your maintenance procedure like? Do you do water changes along with all the dosing?

[erenyel]

Thank you so much.

I use balling method with ReeFlowers additives with dosing pumps, use biopellet, active carbon and i do only %5 water change every month.

I do not do any other maintenance extra.

Hi Eren,

That is a beautiful tank and the growth is stunning. It looks like we will see your tank as TOTM here. I have a few deep water and aussie acro frags for you. You can take them whenever you have time to stop by.

I use ReeFlowers additives as well and I really like them . They all are highly concentrated and easy to use.

Congrats!!!

[cdipasquale]

Wow Amazing tank! And great camera work too.

[erenyel]

Kadir, another thank you for acros. I've also wanted to come for a long time, i'll visit you with Muharrem as soon as possible.

This tank looks absolutely amazing! And not only looks amazing, the growth you managed to achieve is fantastic..

I have a few questions about the system. :)

What lighting are you using? I saw it was T5 but what bulbs?
Are you using the Zeovit system?


Keep up the good work!
Frederik

Simply AMAZINGGGG. The best reef i`ve ever seen, certanly.
Congratulations on your efforts, and thanks for showing us these wonderful photos.
Sorry for my english, but although you understand me, i had to write this post.
A greeting fellow.

[erenyel]

Thanks,

Frederik, I prefer Aqua Science and ATI bulbs. Renew 18 months periods. I don't use zeovit system but I use biopellet.

[geaux xman]

WOW! thats what I call amazing.

I would never leave the house If I had a tank that looks half like that.

[win98ena]

Amazing Grows .. What do you do to maintain the Ca and ALK and Mg ..

Good Work :wave:

[jt48]

Just starting up my tank, although dimensions are different (243x91x58) it looks very similar. Your tank makes me want to redo my rock work because I really like yours. Good job.

[SaltwaterSensei]

I really love your new aqua scape. I've always preferred the more open look. Your previous setup was amazingly beautiful but I think this new direction you're going in has much greater potential.

Dude that is crazy growth in just 6 months. and your tank is one of the best I have ever seen. Where are your nitrates usually at with that kind of growth?

[rpjaws74]

awesome tank man but I think I liked the old tank better !!

[Reefocd]

Just discovering this awesome thread. Thinking of 22 inch high shallow reef build in near future. Your photos and videos have a pro cinematography feel to them, very nice. Question, are all the coral photos from your tank? Post 25, third photo for example, one of big colony shots that I cannot see in FTS early in thread?

You must work for national geographic or be a film maker. :dance:

[Newbie Aquarist]

Just watched all three of the videos. Tank is amazing.


Sent from my iPhone using Siri and Tapatalk.

[erenyel]

Thanks, I wish new aqua scape will be better, then maybe I can hope to be tank of the month :)

Nitrate is generally between 0-1 ppm.

Yes, all corals, fish and other photos and videos are from this tank and photographed by me. (Thanks for your compliments)

[DiscusHeckel]

awesome tank man but I think I liked the old tank better !!

I echo that.

Very very very nice tank.

[Reloadeddevil]

As u mentioned, you use 7 pumps for dousing, what exactly are u dosing with those pumps, because ur growth is spectecular.

[erenyel]

I use ReeFlowers BallingSet (kH Blend , Calcium Blend , Magnesium Blend and Ionic Balancer) and I also use ReeFlowers Potassium Blend, Strontium and Bacteria Feeder.

ReeFlowers is a Turkish company - http://www.reeflowers.com/en/urunlerimiz.html

[footballdude2k3]

Love the tank, I am very surprised you do not have issues with aggression with that many fish in a tank that size. I was also more excited before I found out this was CM after I clicked, was hoping for a 15 foot tank.

[MikeL1987]

great looking tank!

[Bjoern]

Love it!

[agent1923]

Amazing how far along the hobby has come in my own country!!! I got into this hobby in my early teens in Turkey (late 80's). The most awesome setup you could ever own then were discus fish. But most of us had to setlle for guppies due to high prices anyway.


Great job on this tank. Keep up the good work.
