Thank you very much for your comments ... continue reporting the evolution of Bommie

Marco Madeira · 08/17/2015, 03:13 AM

Hi Yano...
been following your tanks since the beginning here and in the Spanish forum. Your old tank was an inspiration for me and that's why I made my new tank with the same dimensions and similar kind of landscape. Now I see that you changed to a new landscape and it gives me mixed feelings because your old landscape was amazing!!

Subscribed to this new thread, for sure this one will be as perfect and beautiful as the old one!
Congratulations and good luck!

yano · 08/17/2015, 05:24 AM

Thanks Marco is always a pleasure to know that my tanks can serve as inspiration for other aquarists in different parts of the world.
My taste for clean aquariums, with a minimalist style as well as by the SPS corals and small fish has not changed and probably will always be some of the hallmarks of my aquariums but all aquarist is evolving, and the challenge of trying new things add new concerns....my purpose in this proyect is to move towards greater naturalness.

That sump is awesome, I also love the shrimp/goby pair. Have you thought about some wrasses, they add some great color and movement to the tank.

Thanks, they are more 4 years with me.
I have no Wrasses, have never caught my attention because they are too big for my taste (I like that in my aquarium only fishes with greater prominence, as surgeons, angels or butterflies exceed 2 inches in length) ... I have considered the option to include some small wetmorella, but for now is only an option.

gavinsepanik · 08/20/2015, 10:19 AM

Ahh. You should try a pair of e.figaro. They would look cool with your neon gobies

Any pics of my tangs:

Naso lituratus, "the King" of Bommie.

Acanthurus Olivaceus juvenile, beginning to appreciate the typical orange spot of this species.

Ctenochaetus Strigosus, a tireless devourer of algae and biofilm.

Finally, the three grazers in action:

yano · 08/20/2015, 10:53 AM

As you can see, algaes sand and patches diatom in rock have almost disappeared ... my last values of nutrients are nitrates 1ppm and phosphates undetectable by the test.

coral102 · 08/20/2015, 12:03 PM

Excellent algae eaters!!!

They work very hard!!!

Pife · 08/20/2015, 05:37 PM

Still looking gorgeous.

gavinsepanik · 08/20/2015, 06:29 PM

crazy beautiful tank! Can't wait to see it grown in.

gavinsepanik · 08/20/2015, 06:30 PM

Love the small naso

bobssecrtsn · 08/20/2015, 06:48 PM

you have a really good outcome of the quality with the pictures, How do you set your White-Balance? I do have a hard time setting it up because it always turns out more blue then white.

I am delighted with the three surgeons, they are very peaceful, but naso is my weakness also.

First I adjusted the white balance manually on the camera (you must do this default with a white object illuminated under the lights of the aquarium setting, you can be a paper or even sand aquarium) ... with this you managed your photos do not resulting as blue, then once made the photo, finished adjusting the balance (if necessary) with a photo editing software (Aperture) to give it a more realistic tone as possible.

yano · 09/20/2015, 09:53 AM

Yes, but I don't on 4 center tubes yet.
I use 200ml of activated carbon in reactor and replace it monthly
