Very nice aquascape and carefully placed corals. They look to be very happy where they are, as they have encrusted all over. Thanks for sharing the video and we look forward to seeing this reef grow in!

I loved the latest video and the new acro additions.

What are your latest water test results?

Happy new year Yano.

Your tank is inspiring. I really love the pair of cherub angels.

Henchmen27 · 01/18/2016, 11:59 PM

The tank looks amazing Yano! What are you using to hold the vortech cables on the lip of your tank?

How do you keep your sand so beautiful? Is that just manual labor? Min doesn't look like that unless I vacuum it. Looking great!

No, I do not do vacuum or any other maintenance to the sand ... it's just a matter of having very low nutrients, but without losing the right biological balance of the aquarium.

Looking really good, Yano!
The corals are really encrusting.
Do you plan to add any more fish or corals?

Thanks.
There are 4 free sites to be occupied for SPS corals (I want to get a acropora spathulata...others are not defined).
As for fish, basically lack a school of small fish that help to highlight the natural appearance of the Bommie.

cFloor · 02/21/2016, 04:14 PM

Nice and clean yano. Your corals look like they're about to take off with all the encrusting they've done. I'm really liking this new aquascape.

Ancelot · 02/21/2016, 07:39 PM

Apogons... But too predictable... Damsels? Or a giant school of blue green chromis will do too...

markalot · 02/21/2016, 07:42 PM

Looking good!

Chromis IMO, or Blue Eyed Cardinalfish, but for every 5 I buy 3 die.

DiscusHeckel · 02/22/2016, 03:03 PM

Yano,

Your tank is coming along really nicely. Keep up the good work.

I am aware of the difficulty but want to try a shoal of Apogons...blue green chromis are other option.

COENONE · 02/28/2016, 09:58 AM

Awesome details keep them coming thanks for posting I enjoy reading this thread!

Volcom698 · 02/29/2016, 09:58 AM

Love the ruby dragonets, thinking about getting some, they have them at my LFS. So are you feeding them pods at all? What are they eating for you.

For now only they eat what they themselves hunted by the rock .I have recently started to edit some phytoplankton to increase microfauna aquarium.

sahin · 06/12/2016, 02:40 PM

Yano, your tank is due for a 6 month update soon I think. I look forward to a new video.

Meanwhile I have some questions:

In this photo we can see some bottles of elements. We can see Iron, Iodine, and I think B-Balance from KZ.

1. What is your dosage of KZ B-Balance? Why do you dose it/what effect does it have?

2. What else do you dose?

3. What brand of GAC (Carbon) do you run in the carbon reactor?

Hi Sahin

For personal reasons I had the aquarium very neglected in recent months, in fact even I've been thinking unmount ... in the coming months I will decide if I can cope maintenance dedicating the necessary time or dismount.
However, I will answer your questions (and I appreciate your interest):

-1 and 2. In this aquarium I've only regularly dosed iodine (20-25 drops three times a week) ... the rest of products that you see in the picture I have of my previous the aquarium but I've used just have not found it necessary (iron I dosed only in sufficiently mature and very low nutrient levels aquariums, and B-Balance in case you want to slightly lighten the color in the same case).
-3. I use Carbonit-P of Brightwell.
-About your last question, the colors of corals depend on the level of nutrients dissolved in water, zeovit and other probiotics methods are just methods that reduce nutrient loads in aquariums with high fish ... aquariums with low fish load, you can get the same nutrient level (and therefore the same colors) simplest form as in my case.

Piper27 · 07/19/2016, 03:37 PM

Aww man, sorry to hear you have too much going on to deal with the tank. I am sure everyone else would say the same as me, just ride it out!

I was hoping to see this tank grow out some. I love your choice of acropora especially the monticulosa and other thick reef crest type acros. Good luck! I lost everything I had last year due to personal reasons and couldn't find time to deal with the tank. I restocked it so I am glad I kept it running in the end.

sahin · 07/21/2016, 12:41 AM

Thank you for the info Yano. I'm really sorry about your tank. I hope you will be able to keep it going.
