Fish an corals go to garage

No fish diet by stress. One little hepatus want to hide under my diving shoes an I contact plan. I thought he will die because I can see my footprint on his skin. But after one week everything was okay but footprint stay for several weeks

A lot of detail. Pretty home. Great build.

I'm trying to figure out what you are growing out back. Lots of detail and really enjoy the photos.

Impressive tank and overall setup! I believe you did well going for the new rock structure and the end result will reimburse the hassle of the change. It will become a beautiful reef!

Is the crushed coral glued on the bottom or just laying around? I was thinking about detritus accumulation and removal.

Thanks
Coral crush is glued to pvc plate. Detritus isn't a problem because the reef is free and the four Panta Rhei Hydro Wizards ECM 63 run by different profiles and there is extreme flow under and in reef. Works fine. Pumps run max 40% - enough reserve

wow big works done! looking great

do you think the Panta Rhei works best with bare bottom? or in your case rock bottom?

I went with Emperor Aquatics 80 watt UV too (now called Pentair).

Holy Dori! Yes with 200.000 L/h available I assume you can manage detritus.

Hope 200.000 liter works. Also I habe a 900 Watt Blue Eco return pump that alone makes crazy flow by just 200 Watt. Time will show me whats going on

Grüße Torben, is the fishroom connected to the display aquarium? It looked like 40 meters of trench and pipe! Do the pipes only hold electrical wire, or are they also for water?

Echt prima.

Hallo

Fishroom is for DT. Pipes are nearly 47 meter. Big dimensions for minimum energy. Pressure pipe is inside 75mm and flyback is 125mm inside.

Danke
