Can you tell us your water values ? Sorry for my english.

Did you have polip reduction in acors with high po4 and no3 ?

Thank you.
temperature: 23 C
density: 1,023 g/cm3
pH: 8,2
KH: 7
NO3: <5 mg/l
PO4: <0,1 mg/l
Ca: 405 mg/l
Mg: 1180 mg/l

I've got in the tank the best 'polyp reductors' you can imagine. We call them Centropyge but IMO their name should be changed

C. flavissima nips SPS polyps all day long. Unfortunately she taught C. loriculus and acanthops to do the same. That is why I didn't notice polyp reduction due to high levels of NO3 and PO4.

It's Nature's Ocean Bio-Activ Live Samoa Pink. I just removed all these shell fragments and granules larger than 1mm.

Tahnk you. I'll try but My camera is very poor so close ups may not be perfect.

Meantime my little girl discovers the aquarium...

That is a beautiful site. You have a very beautiful daughter. I bet you can't wait until she gets her first reef tank.

snocho · 11/24/2012, 09:55 AM

Finally I decided to add some small, active fish. I decided to take small school - 10pcs. of Pseudathias randalli from my LFS. I put them to the quarantine tank. They are going to have at least 3 weeks of heavy feeding.

I had a lot of concern about it. Total weight is almost 2000 kg. Fortunately I work for a company that was building this block. I spent some time with main constructor and we adjusted construction of the floor to the weight of the aquarium.

kalgra · 12/07/2012, 08:11 AM

This is a truly inspiring build. So clean, I absolutely love everything about it. WOW!

Sps Dream · 12/09/2012, 12:27 PM

Good equipment, clean set up and beautiful aquarium, well done.

jarrett shark · 12/09/2012, 08:02 PM

Love the tank and I just bought the same tank but 60" x 36"x36"
i have some questions so you can make my build close to yours if you dont mind
Does the 2x tunze 6205 strong enough? I want all SPS and real concerned if flow will get to the oppiste side?? I know the return pump will give flow but I did not want to run a pipe arcross the top to the other sise becaus kills the look IMO.
You said you have a wave box but I dont see from the pics?
I have two Mp 60 but since my overflow goes all the way down I can't use since dry side will get wet so I guess I will have to jump ship and go Tunze so is there pumps any good?
What is the purpose of the bulkhead that is like 12" down from the overflow section when you have the overflow cut outs anyway?
thanks so much

coralreefdoc · 12/09/2012, 08:35 PM

External Wavebox. Hence, BH 11-12" down from overflow, centered

PL-Reef · 01/01/2013, 09:11 PM

Piekne! I love seeing beautiful tanks from POLSKA!!!

Sorry for late reply.
As for now these two Tunze 6205 are OK. Together with Wavebox I had no problems with water movement. Flow easily gets to the oposite side. In the begining I even had some problems with sand being moved by pumps. From the other hand I'm affraid that when we will have SPS-forest in our tanks (hope so) adding some more circulation will be needed. When I watch Chingchai's previous aquarium, I'm pretty sure that next pumps are necessary.

Last week I received a package with new Tunze 6255. I plan to use it when my corals grow up and I add some new ones.

I built Wavebox in overflow (in the middle).

I just used Tunze Wavebox pump 6215.200 with Wave controller.

Serdeczne pozdrowienia z Polski!

I've got some bad news. All my Randalli anthias died during quarantine. I'm not sure why. They were eating almost everything I gave them. They were dying one by one with no visible symptoms. I don't know where I made a mistake.

I removed from DT two of my dwarf angelfishes - C. flavissima and C. acanthops. They nipped SPS corals so intensive that corals stop growing.
In the frag tank everything was OK:

In the same time corals in DT were seriously damaged. Dwarf angels catch wasn't easy and took me a month. Finally I used plastic bags that made fish to go out of the rocks.

snocho · 01/12/2013, 10:32 AM

After removing dwarf angels corals look much better. Still not having intensive color but they grow and show their polyps.

Current view:

sorry to hear about your problems!

Tank looks great !

Bello · 01/13/2013, 05:55 AM

Too bad about the dwarf angels.... and they are indeed very difficult to catch.

But somehow, I can't resist adding them

. Tank looks lovely!
