Great photo. I'm slow in the mornings and it took me a few seconds to figure out how you got the corals to hang upside down like that :P

Don't know why........maybe it's because after a year the tank starts to look like a reef, finally. To let open spaces is great but I'm short of sps spots right now. Soon I'll have to remove some if I want to have space for new frags. Quote:
I'm glad that you enjoy the tank. Regards, Alex

Hello Jordy
I feed the fish 3 or 4 times a day with Dr. Bassleer Excel flakes, Mysis flakes from Bcuk, shopped frozen shrimp and Nori algae. The corals are "feeded" only with Koralle -VM from brightwell and ocasionally with shopped shrimp Thanks Benson

Just read through from the beginning. I’m setting up a 680l so at the moment I’m reading build threads for ideas. I love your two islands with all that open space. I plan on doing something similar. Looking forward to seeing your tank when it’s all grown in, keep up the good work!

Thanks..... The open space is a must for me.....I don't imagine myself setting up a tank in a different way. I'm sure you'll like it too. Alex

Hi Alex,
thanks for the link to your thread. As I said before you're reef is beautiful! The rebuild has already come a long way. I really love setups that aren't aesthetically overdone. Minimal rock work with nice open space and great coral placement. IMO, you've really nailed down the art of aquascaping. Looking forward to future updates. Your photo skills are also impressive. Do you shoot RAW and then edit? What software do you use?

Thanks Todd, The tank is going very good so far.... That's my favorite setup untill now and I think that will improve a lot in the next year or two. Sometimes I shoot RAW but most of the times I shoot JPEG... In both cases I use Photoshop CS3 to edit it. Best Regards Alex
