I can't see a spot of it in the pictures.

This tank was settle up in Feb. 2015 and jut few item move from my old tank ( I gave most of items to friends). So with low Nutrients in past two months it every hard to get them on the rocks but some of them already on the glass.

Below is the picture I took in Jan. 2014.
And I hope I can get all coraline algae on rocks in 12 months.

ok, I will get my new car around that month. Your tank will be my first stop.

Due to vacation plan I will leave my tank every July and Aug. Last time I leave my tank 68 days without anyone take care and lost few corals.
So this year I need to start the adjustment for this new tank two months in advance. I take some photos as a record and hope they will keep growing in next 4 months.

Just stunning!

Are you running full Zeovit in this tank? I tried to read all previous posts and only saw that you have Zeomatic reactor.

No, I am not running full Zeovit but I use bak, start 3 and food 7 in the first 2 weeks when I set up this tank.

After first two weeks I just use my way to maintain my reef tank.
1. Once per week
Zoevit, bak, start 3 and sponge power
Red sea, Engery A and B

2. Twice per week
Zoevit, Coral Vitalizer, Amino Acid

3. Change 50L (5%) water weekly and clean skimmer in the same time.

4. Change 50% of zoelite and active carbon monthly

5. Feed fish every day.

6. MOST IMPORTANT KEEP ALK always in 7.3~7.7. and keep CA and MG at about 1:3 rate.

Above are current what do for my tank.

Elton and Shih, I'm visiting Taiwan next Tuesday for 10 days!! never been there (actually, I'm not much of a traveler) and am nervous. my mom was born and raised there. would you guys happen to know if there are any beach volleyball courts? I've searched google and can't find much

In this season if you are going to play beach volleyball the only location will be in the south of Taiwan.

I did stay several different hotels there in the past years, Chateau beach resort is not a bad choice because this resort just set on the beach. When you open the door the beach already under your feet and the ocean just about 10M away from you.

And you can dive and have some aquatics over there.

Below is the link for your reference.

Hope you enjoy your trip in Taiwan.

You guys in Taiwan really have nice corals. I wish we had that in Hong Kong. Can you also get ora and reef raft corals in Taiwan? I'm looking for Ora Pearlberry , but nobody in hk have it.

As I know last evening there is one lot of corals from South China Sea and Fiji due to some reasons it can not be delivered to Taiwan. And it will be sold in HK local market. You may check it today.

About ORA and RR, yes some friends do have them but it is really not with friendly price. But some times they will show it on PH8.4 (http://www.ph84.idv.tw/vbb/index.php) or FB SPS public club (https://www.facebook.com/groups/169710223195366/ ).
