Thanks, I feed coral 3-5 times per week, mixed 2-3 coral food product such as KZ Coral Vitalizer, Baby Brine Shrimp, Coral Frenzy, Reef Chili, and I will add some KZ AHCC and SP every times I feed corals. I will feed more when PO4 is lower (0.00 by HANNA), feed less when PO4 reading is raising (0.03 by HANNA).

For fishs, I will feed them 1-2 times per day. In China, it is very difficult to find quality frozen foods, so most of food I use is flake and nature algae.

Hi,

Is it difficult for you to find nice SPS in Beijing?

It is difficult to find nice SPS from LFS in Beijing, most LFS in Beijing could not keep SPS, even for short time for saling, so many SPS keepers in Beiijng will order coral from wholesalers in south China and HongKong together. Most corals of these wholesalers is from Indonesia, some wholesalers could collect some corals from local fisherman in south china sea for 2-3 times per year.

WOW !!!

kumamoo · 07/14/2009, 07:55 AM

very impressive , True White balance

john90009 · 07/14/2009, 08:34 AM

The green coral on the right looks like the ora frogskin acro. Very nice tank and colonies.

Welles · 07/16/2009, 04:53 PM

Thanks, friends :-)

john90009: Yes, it is looks similar, but I am still mot sure with its ID, it is a small wild colony from south china sea with 4-5 inch in size when I first see it in 4 years ago, and it growth is very fast in aquarium.

I am still working on my new DIY fixture with blue LED and VHO, and it is almost done:

CREE LED units mounted on the aluminum heat sink

more LED units on the heat sink bar

Testing for LED bar with LENS mounted (70 degree LENS)

VHO and one LED bar lighting...

Three LED bars lighting without VHO...

Now I am waitting for silent fans for LED bars to finish the project.

Goooood reeftank!

Your reeftank is beautiful~.

Chooch1 · 07/17/2009, 02:11 PM

Very beautiful tank Welles. Does the Lemon Peel angel ever bother your clam? Does it nip much at the SPS? Obviously it's not damaging your SPS corals.

Thanks, the Lemon Peel angel do have nip at clam and SPS occasionally, but it is not too much and not a serious problem.

Beautiful tank. It looks amazing.

Welles · 07/19/2009, 08:52 AM

The new fixture with blue LED and VHO has finished, here is the photo of LED+VHO only:

It is too much blue light without XM 10000K...

Here is VHO+LED+MH, the different with MH only is not easy to show with photo, actually it has more blue with VHO+LED as supplement.

AquaticMadness · 07/19/2009, 01:16 PM

That is even better with all the blue.

scaryperson27 · 07/20/2009, 02:02 AM

I want that blue stag!
