I think i'll buy a BM 360, isn't good enough?? I don't try to compare them, just your opinion.

Thanks, Max.

BM 360 is very good in capability, I change to BK for two reason: one is the noise of BM 360 is bigger then BK; the other is the heat, the temperature of Beijing is so high in summer and I want to add more lighting power to the system(VHO and LED), so I try to lower the heat produced by pumps as low as possible, BM 360 need four pumps running and BK internal just need one pump.

Hi, Welles,i am in shanghai. I am wondering how you can get the TM 's NaCl free salt in Beijing or China? I am dying for that kind of salt for my Balling Method

Thank you!

Hi,Welles, sorry to bother you again. But could you tell me the exact name of this TM's NaCl free salt. I just cannot find it on your recommanded website.

Cools colors, nice aquascaping and a track record of maintaining the corals.

Well deserved....now I need to go to Beijing to pay you a visit and learn your secret lol

Hi Welles,

Greetings from Shanghai. You are an inspiration to a new reefer like me.

I have problems getting the purple colours out of my SPS. They tend to turn brown. I am using 15K Metal Halides with 4xBlue Actinic and am wondering should I switch to 10K? Water parameters are fine I think with zero Phosphate and Nitrates. Using Rowas for Phosphate.

The other thing I am considering is whether I should add activated carbon into the Phosphate reactor to enhance filtration.

Mine is a 100% SPS tank with a few zoanthids. 11 fishes for a 150G tank.

Appreciate your views. Thanks

Welles · 12/06/2009, 10:56 PM

Thanks, guys

to chawming: Generally I prefer 10K for its higher PAR value, and higher PAR value will reduce zooxanthellae in the coral tissue and make the color looks better, more blue color lighting should be the next step for it (just for view).

Personally I think it is not necessary to put the activated carbon into a reactor.

Beautiful reef !! I love the colors and the natural looking aquascape. It's very pleasing to the eye.

Very nice....great colors

chawming · 12/11/2009, 08:58 PM

Hi Welles,

What's the name of the red colour specimen in your tank? Surely stands out. Great if you can provide both English and Chinese name so that I can communicate with the folks at LFS.
