hi krzysztof, lovely tank. just a quick question for you. how often do you have to top up your reactor with the pellets??? hence how long would you say a bag of pellets would last you????

Really enjoyed your video, the colors are super rich. The yellow acro is just incredible, can you give specifics about it as to type and lineage?, i.e. wild, maricultured or captive?

Hi Lunar. I received my PacSun bulbs and are planning to swap out my ati bulbs. What do you think about this combo? The bad thing about the ATI power modual. The out two bulbs on each side are on the same channel and the inner two bubs, with the leds in between, are on the same channel. Do you think this will be two blue? What would you run?
Thanks for the help. Crystal UV (super actinic/true violet), Crystal Blue (actinic with increased UV emission), Spectra Plus 19500K (Crystal Blue + Shallow Water mix), Pigment INT+ (Shallow Water with pink/violet peak), LED LED Crystal Blue (actinic with increased UV emission) Shallow Water (18000K crisp white with high CRI), Crystal Blue (actinic with increased UV emission), Crystal UV (super actinic/true violet), |

Did you find the Copperband a challenge to thrive in your reef? How did you get it to feed? How long have you had it? Beautiful reef! The best I have ever seen!

Hey Lunar, Have you been having any issues with the GFO from the AIO Biopellets fouling the impeller and pump on your reactor? After reading quite a bit about them it seems a lot of people are having that issue with recirculating reactors and the AIO pellets. The gfo sticks to the magnet in the pump and pump output slowly decreases. Thanks.

I haven't had any issue with my pump so far, it works very well, I haven't clean it since July 2014. I'm not sure but think that problems might be related to an impeller in a pump. I use Aquabee pump where an impeller has got enough space. Krzysztof |

Thank you. I have an eheim pump on my recirculating reactor. I'm gonna try the AIO. Just hoping I can have half the success as your tank.

Awesome tank! I know that you dose BioGro123 every WC, but is it necessary? Since you're carbon dosing, those bacteria strains should stay consistent in your tank right?

Hi again Krzysztof, I'm doing everything you do lol. Your success proves your method. The bacteria additions make perfect sense. With the current Triton method in Europe becoming popular in the US I've seen people saying water changes are not necessary. I will keep changing water as it has worked well for you. Have you tried the Triton method or have any insight about the benefits of water changes with your tank? I have led lighting vs t5. I wish I would have read your thread and seen the colors of your lighting before building my lights. I would have thought hard about using the t5. So I have been researching the spectrum of the bulbs you utilize to try and find the right color combination. Have you ever measured the par of your lights. Thanks again for all the great advise.

In my opinion wc are essential for tanks, especially with the balling method, I would affraid that some harmful elements will build up with time. I see how my corals react after wc, they extend their polyps much more as if they wanted to refresh themselves. No, I haven't measured the par of my lights. Quote:
Hope you read the thread and know that this video is the past: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V70KV_dZ9UE How much time I put into reefkeeping? Almost every hour during a day because in addition to home aquarium I have a shop with sps corals. I'm almost 20 years in reefkeeping. Krzysztof https://www.facebook.com/aqua.mor.Krzysztof.Tryc |

Krzystof,
This is the same coral, yes? One picture in 9/2013 and the next picture 8/2014. Questions: 1) In 9/2013 you used an ATI Powermodule, yes? 2) When did you change to Diuna? 3) What is your opinion, why was the color poor in 9/2013 or more importantly what made the coral become so colorful? Thanks as always! Joe

And, I just want to add, you are inspiring me to try T5 again. I believe these pictures represent the finest coral coloration I have ever seen. Green, blue, and purple are easy, but you have true yellow and pink and red that are unmatched. It is truly amazing. I am hunting for another photo of corals that are better and so far I can not find any!!

In my opinion the change of colour might be caused by: 1/ some corals need a long time to get its true colour, a frag looks often completely different than its mother 2/ variable amount of organic compounds - what is quite impossible to measure 3/ I don't add microelements in regular doses but when I feel it's necessary observing my corals 4/ not always you can take a picture that shows a real intensity of colour There are more causes, I mentioned only some of them.

Yes, this is acropora millepora. Krzysztof |
