Hi Sahin,
Let me ask you, what's the reason to use siporax and matrix? Both have the same rule, right? I only use marine pure but I'm starting to use matrix to replace it, because I read some negative comments about it. Chaeto can run without light? And what system do you use to avoid colapse the pump with chaeto little parts? Thanks Enviado desde mi iPhone utilizando Tapatalk |

Hi Sahin,
Your new tank is coming along nicely. I'm slowly moving away from Zeovit and switching to Siporax. Simple is better for sure. Your acro colors are very nice too. Well done........Jim |

Looks awesome. Have you mentioned what you used for a cover. I have a rimless tank and would love to find a solution like you have.

Quoted for this page. Colors look fantastic to me Sahin, glad to see everything is moving along. I can't help but wonder if you'll need to remove the Chaeto at around 6 months to maintain nitrates. It ook my matrix about 6 months to do anything and then poof, nitrates all gone.

how far off are your t5s from your top coral? also how long do you run all your lights for or whats your lighting run up and run down?

Chaeto needs light. I use 2x9watt 6500K LED bulbs. If the chaeto is lit well and growing small bits shouldnt break off. In any event you can see the photo I posted, the chaeto remains in the plastic container. It exits into first chamber. Any strands of chaeto will most likely get caught in the matric/siporax chamber. Even if they got into the final chamber, the Ecotech Vectra M1 has a grill cover. So I am not worried at all. Plus in the weeks that I've had the chaeto Ive not seen any strands in the display.

I use the mesh cover. http://www.simplyaquaria.co.uk/diy-tank-cover.html It in imported from USA and distributed in the UK. If I missed any other questions, please bump the thread or PM me thanks. |

Nice setup Sahin! How does the Siporax work for you? Have you noticed any difference with the siporax in the system? How often/should the siporax be cleaned? I'll try it myself in the restart of my system.
More pictures please

Hi Sahin, nice and simple setup. Corals are coloring up real well. You seem to have a "colorful" thumb for corals. Very impressive!!!

Hi Sahin
How are you rating the Deltec 1456? Seem to remember you having a BM NAC6 on a previous tank. Any major difference in performance of the two skimmers and what depth of water do you have the Deltec in? Cheers Mike |

Sahin, what size bulkheads did you use for your overflows and how far down did you drill from the top edge of the tank?

Hi Sahin,
Great tank. Very inspirational! I'm going to set up my 4th tank shortly an EA 900s and probably use a pro sump to fit my nyos quantum 160 skimmer in. I see you're dosing ATI essentials. I use the FM balling system currently. In your experience do you think the ATI system is better than the FM one? Also do you need to do the water changes with ATI essentials? As for the dosing do you hook it up to a dosing pump? Sorry for the questions but finally where did you get your red planet from? It's a beauty. Or do you sell frags? Cheers Jim |
