This is an aweseome tank. Fantastic job. Should be nominated for TOTM. Would be nice to see instead of huge SPS tanks all the time, not that they aren't deserving.
|
A bit too much yellow for me, but it is an outstanding tank. Great job. :)

Many thanks for all your comments.
When comes to food, yes I am using 40 cubes of frozen a day. It may not look in the pictures, but there is over 60 large colonies of sun corals and also quite a few tube anemones. The food is first defrosted, so there is not much of the dirty water added. When feeding, all circulating pumps are off and I do try to target feed the colonies. I can't feed each polyp so I squirt the food above the suns so they can catch most of the food. The rest is then taken by the anemones, hermits and brittle stars. As I have mentioned earlier denitrator and vodka takes a good care of no3. Larger quantities of liquid po4 remover causes sometimes a white film deposit on the glass, which I have to remove using magnets with blades. There is 80l water changed weekly and I also use Korallen Zucht Zeozyme which in my opinion increases performance of the skimmer. Many thanks |

I usually clean it twice a week. I have introduced the t5 lights just few weeks ago. I used to run 2x150w metal halide, so there is an extra 180w of lights now. If this causes some nuisance algae I may reduce the light period, or increase water changes. Those pictures were taken at night, so all the fish are sleeping. There are around 10 allen's damsels, a few wrasses, bi-colour angel, small odonus trigger and last week I have added tiny brown tang to battle any increased algae grow that the stronger lights could cause. It has been quite a few month of this regime and things seem to be going ok so far... Thanks |
