Nice video Alex! which camera are using? Did you have to use a filter or did you edit afterwards? Looks like coral growth is coming along nicely. I also like how the chromis look in there.

Hello Todd,

I use a Xiaomi 4K, borrowed from my daughter...
I tried not to use any filter, but the correction in the Vegas Pro wasn't that good, so I put an ambar (more yellowish, in fact) security gasses in front of the lens.
At some points of the vídeo you can see distortion on the corners

I got 3 new chromis 2 weeks ago and next month I must have 3 or 4 more....I intend to get a school of 10 or 12....they look much more cool (and calm) when schooling...

The corals are really coming back. I'm still dosing like crazy and I must do it for one or two weeks more.

I decided to try Aquaforest. Better concentration than Brightwell.
I'm ordering Iron, Fluorine, Micro-E, Vitality, Energy and Amino mix.
I'll probably try some of the food later too.

As a measure to color up some sps I also started with Sodium Nitrate yesterday.
I'll get my NO3 to 2 or 3......Actually is 0,2.

Alex,

Tank is looking amazing. I was curious how you attack frags to rocks on a tank this size. Almost need scuba gear I would think

Thanks Choss!

When I setup my layout I put the Big island close to the left pannel in the back and the small one in the front, close to the front and the right pannel.
So I can reach almost every spot in the rocks plus, when I made my stand I made a high bench, with the same "style" of the stand.
Altough I have to take my shirt off to move some corals, because the water hit my shoulder, no snorkell was used 'till now......

Alex

Alex, your tank must be so pristine that the urchin must be finding it difficult to camouflage itself with "rubble".

Yes Bullent,
I've always read about urchins walking through the reef, grabbing stuff in its way but here, so far, didn't happens.
I don't have any "unglued" corals and I don't let empty shells, acros skeleton pieces or any other debris in the sandbed.
He is nice, blue and clean untill now....

Wow, Alex. What can I say? Your corals, every single one of them without exception, are beautiful. "Hyacinthus pink green" and "Aculeus blue" are particularly stunning. I have never seen a colourful suharsonoi as colourful as your before. The list goes on ....

On a side note, "humilis green" is actually not A. humilis.

What are your latest water test results?
