I really like the color of your SPS. Besides your lighting and good water parameter, how do you bring out the bright color of your coral? You mentioned using Roti Feast and Oyster Feast. Where did you get them? Do they help to enhance the color?

beautiful tank. One of the best ive ever seen, I believe my dads seen your tank when he got some frags from you. Im sure that we will definitely be interesting in buying some frags off you again once we get our tank 100% ready for challenging corals, we are at around 85% in my opinion

For the past month or so, I have stopped adding the Amino Acids and only used the Roti and Osyster Feast to feed the corals. I do believe my colors for a number of corals have improved so I'm going to stick with this for the time being. Quote:

Awesome tank, I did the aquascaping in my new 180 very similar a couple months ago. My question is exactly where do you have your tunze powerheads and how are they positioned? It is hard to see in the picture, but it looks like one on each side panel towards the back and pointing straight across the tank at each other.

Reefbum,
i am in the process of designing a system which is simular in the the sense that the filter room will be below and about 6 meters to the side of the display. Do you have any recommendations or experience regarding plumbing, return pumps, overflow, etc. Especially since there is such a height difference? I'm considered the extra vertival drop may make the overflow louder? And are you happy with the amount of flow rate back into the tank? i was planning only a single return pump. I have just started a new thread about this, perhaps provide some advise there... Basement filter room thanks Last edited by EyesClosed; 03/19/2009 at 07:02 PM. |

ReefBum-
Have you had any problems with the pocillopora reproducing and having mini colonies popping up everywhere? |

Tank of the month
Reefbum,
This set up is the cat's ***! Is the tank stand custom made or store bought? As an engineer, I love the floor support system, I think you could park a truck in your tank room! Outstanding! ReefDale |

Your Tunze positioning has me puzzled. On one hand I think it's pure genius and on teh other I'm worrying if you get enough flow around the front of the islands. I'm tearing down my system and rebuilding at some point so I want a simple Tunze flow design that works. Also with the currents colliding in the middle does the sand bed not trough badly in the middle?
Great tank, awesome inspirational material right there.
