Thanks... The new tank has about the same dimensions as the old tank, but the equipment is laid out differently so it is safer, easier to maintain and also better looking
Key features: - main tank (starfire front glass) about 170 G - return from sump: Red Dragon 10.000 - skimmer: Bubble King 200 intern - zeovit-reactor - Ca: I had a Ca-reactor, now switching to pure balling method - chiller: Resun 650, located in a different room - light: 2 x 150 W hqi, 2 x 39 W T5, 2 x 54 W T5 Here a small view in the sump-area

And some close-ups of corals:
Pink Acro table, grew four times bigger in less than a year: Pink Stylo, much grown the last 3-4 years (it was already in my previous tank) And a nice Acropora: |

Capn and Eel-byte: thank you. On some corals the growth is incredible, though absolutely not on all corals. I've used the zeovit-method for about 1.5 years, now I quit this to try something else. I now dose a mixture of trace elements which is, according to the store where I bought them, custom made for my tank. I know some other Dutch and Belgian aquarists who also use this line with huge succes.
Apart from that: routine is really important. Water changes, lots of current, enough Ca and KH and clean water do the trick. But again: thank you. I see my tank everyday so it's hard to judge on it.

I thought it was time to blow off the dust of this topic
Quite some things have changed, both on the reefscape and on the population of fish. My regal angels decided that they didn't want to be kept together anymore after nearly 5 years, so I only have my 8 year old Red Sea regal left. Further I added some new fish, including a mated pair of Liopropoma carmabi, a pair of juvenile blueline angels (Chaetodontoplus septentrionalis), a tiny multibar angel (Paracentropyge multifasciata) and some others. I shot a small video which you can see here (Be sure to watch in HD ) |

Gorgeous tank! Wonderful mix of different coral species. Why are Europeans so good at this?

On the video: making short films like these is really easy using my iPhone and Mac. I just don't film the ugly parts of the tank Quote:
