I agree.. It looks great. It almost looks like it's about to slap the coral in front of it, haha...

From the filtration room layout I would say he is using the balling method. Maybe Vodka. I don't think it's a zeo system due to the lack of a zeo reactor or any blue bottles in the picture
Possibly prodibio?
Beautiful corals either way!

Beautiful aquarium. I didn't think you could have such purple corals under 10000k lighting as with most hobbiest I saw with such purple corals were under 20000k. I thought you need 20000k to bring out the purples.

A lot of Europeans use only 10-14k max. You don't hear much of 20000k bulbs there.

Hi,i only use one product from the zeoline,kaliumjodidfluor,furthermore i use trace elements from a local store,the total system contens about 23OO l water,i dose about 6 ml vodka on daily base,i also dose a NO3 booster(calciumnitrate),i do this for the past 3 years,for me it works great,in Europe we don't light whit 20000k because we believe corals don't grow onther them,for me this also is too blue but thats personal taste

My tank is only 1.5 years old to date and is filing in fast. I don't know how some of you find time to prune your SPS back from eachother, let alone fit your hands/tools in the tank!

I am curious about NO3 booster. Why do you add Nitrates to your system. ?

Hi,if i don't add nitrates too the system some acro's are starting too bleaching after a periode,i had this problem in the past several times,i have then put some more fish in the tank but i am now on the max whit fish for this tank,i give the fish a lot of food every day but stil never can't read NO3 or PO4 while testing the water,the corals are growing so hard they take everyting out of the water,since i put the calciumnitrate in the water i have solved this problem for a great part,sorry for my bad englisch some other pic's,this green hyachintus was 2 years ago only a 5 cm frag,it is now about 22 cm
