New Skim Clean Helix. Waste water of the osmosis clean it very well. So no more work for me. Bigger outflow to handle 6000 liter per hour.




New pvc tub (100 liter) for TTM and egg crate against jumping fish. Do it under frag tank for safe space.


New 3000 Watt heater to temperate new water in the 12.500 liter tanks. 2 days the temperature rise to 24 degrees. After that I put in the salt.


New Stand for the tanks. I afraid to put salt into on a ladder. So it is safe for me

Given your system, you don't need a ladder. What you need is something like this "Z-Förderer" von jim-gmbh(dot)de.

Setup a block and tackle so you can just hoist it up.

For a 350lb (158.757kg) lifting is $50 USD.

No problem I can reach the platform by hand. Put four buckets on it. Go up and put the salt of the bucket into the tanks. Just have to do that 6 times and I am ready. My only sport I do

The heaviest is to fill up the buckets with salt in big bag

Weigh out what the total is per 10 or 100 liters and already have that part ready. Or is that how you do it now?

Hello guys,
good news this evening. After Centropyge interrupta spawning also my Acanthurus polyzona spawn and make a big cloud.

I have two pairs of tangs. Polyzona and hepatus. The only four adult tangs. So I am sure that tangs change sex like angels. I can't believe that is just big luck for me. This two pairs introduced as nearly same size but juvenile.

I will go on to pair up more tangs like Zebrasoma gemmatum, Acanthurus leucosternum and Acanthurus achilles. Leucosternum and Achilles I have medium sized. Will pair up with very tiny ones. My gemmatum are nearly same size but they are very aggressive against each other. Finger crossed

Grüße Torben

Pictures not possible for me hope can get a video next time.

Here is a video of Centropyge interrupta from 23.12.2015. They grow so fast. Faster than Holacanthus clarionensis. Interrupta and Acanthurus Sohal are my fastest growing fish ever.
