Beautiful tank Dominik. It is looking really good, especially for only 12 weeks old. Have the corals and fish been with you for longer, in a previous tank?

Thanks Myka, that fixture saves my ***. My wife did not want to have a funicular in our living room. So, thanks to:

Hi there,

hope to get some help here today. I got any kind of algae in my System.

It begun at one piece of live rock and now it spreads threw the system. First there is a green slime with bubbles. In this state i can brush it away easily. But if i let it grow, then it grows like any kind of caulerpa and is hard to remove manually.
First Slime:

Then algea:

Does someone now this kind of algae?

Nice looking tank! Too bad none of your fish eat that algae, sorry I'm not good with macro algae ids.

Little Update. Solved my slime algae Problem. I renew my osmosis Filter. TDS from 7 is crap i learned. I bought a magnificus. He kills every kind of algae which was left in the system.
Now i have to feed him. But Ok ;) I added some more live rock (around 20kg), rearranged some things and changed every LPS against SPS.

The Corals are doing very good and the growth is really nice. The Polyp extension is awesome.
Some Pictures in the evening:

Looks Great. I had the same issue a few yrs ago. I always changed my RO filters once a year and didn't test my TDS, well I had a bad membrane and didn't realize it. Algae took over till I figured out the problem.

Very nice system, drop dead gorgeous! The leafy algae is Caulerpa, a really pesky weed, but the one spot Foxface LOVES it.

Great tank!

Like the mounting legs for the ati. Looks like something I want.

How is the light spill? I am planning a similar set up, that will be beside the dining table. Will we be blinded while we eat?

pokerdomy

@yellowRubi - Thanks - My Tank is 1,90m x 60cm x 60cm

@smokinreefer - Thanks - No blinding. The mounting legs are really awesome! Cause the tank is build as a room divider my misses did not want to have metal suspension. In my personal view it makes the tank look more spacey ;)

Accident today. My 4 day nearly full cub of skimmer waste got into the tank. My little 2 year daughter found my homematic remote control and pressed some buttons. Unfortunately the power off button for my Red Dragon Pump. The water level rises in the sump and the skimmer flow over. Now his 4 day work result is back in fish town. grml ;(

A wanna share a little Update with you. I changed from Zeovit to ATI Essentials in March cause i wanted to have some LPS Corals. Since then i got some Problems. Some Acros browned out and some died ;( So - back to normal ;) The growth was really stunning with Zeovit. I did a mistake half a year before. I put in to many frags and little corals. Then they growed and i had to sell them, to put them on the ground etc cause they nettled each other.

So, here some Pictures running Zeovit again since one week:

It is growing like Hell at the Moment. I don't now where to put my corals now :) Got a frag Tank now - connected via 1.000L Return Pump in the Sump with Overflow etc. So i can prevent them to nettle each other and reduce some costs with frag selling.

Yes i still got my foxface reefmutt. But its a giant foxface now. ;( I want to get him out of the tank but no chance. I don't now how to get him. He avoids the fish trap and the landing net is hopeless in my tank.
