nothing, just fish food.

Wow is all i can say! Your pics and tank are stunning. I am newly inspired and i love that you are doing all this without a complicated regimen of dosing. Keep the updates coming. You have a lot of fans!

After seeing this does your wife wish she had let you put it in the house ?

Paolo Piccinell · 12/20/2013, 12:42 AM

No, she still is happy that aquarium is out of her sight!!!

(me too, so I can flood the floor everytime is needed)

Paolo Piccinell · 01/19/2014, 03:33 AM

Yesterday we modified the tank, as some animals were far too big...

We are crying with you, Paolo. Such a terrible tragedy! Are you absolutely sure you couldn't have kept the corals as they were and just upgraded to a 4000 litre tank?

Hi, man! :-)

Newbie Aquarist · 03/24/2014, 07:14 AM

Sad to see this happen but at the same time I can't wait for my tank to mature like that to cut down my corals also.

hamed · 06/14/2014, 11:20 AM

Hi Paolo

This setup, this reef, your work is absolutely amazing. Weldon. Bravo....

Can i ask couple of questions?

Do you keep cryptic zone with light? what hours? do you dose bacteria?

Thank you

Hamed
