Wow. Rockscape and colors are brilliant

Nexodus,

This tank is spectacular. Very simple but pleasing rock work initially and now with the coral coverage it looks incredible. Congrats and well done.

 

[Tokalosh]

The colors are to die for and the growth is outstanding.

Could you provide us a little more info on your tank husbandry please?

Thanks

Tok

Wow, just amazing. Your coral growth is phenomenal. Are you using the T5 lights? Each picture looks slightly different with regard to coral placement. Are you constantly moving things around? I would be happy if my tank looked half as good as this. Please share your secrets.

There are really no secrets...just simple routines.

The tank works with a balling method Ca + Kh + Mg (Angel Morales formula) with marine color dosing pumps and 20% water changes every 2 weeks (from the sea)..that's all, I am not adding anything else.

My T5's, from front to back:

1x Ati blue plus
1x Ati Purple plus
1x Ati blue plus
1x Ati coral plus
1x Ati blue plus
1x Ati coral plus

These are my Bubble Magus BM T01 Dosing Pump in my RSM 130D setup. I did the same setup in the 250L.

Like I said in the other thread, wow. Amazing tank. Do u have any tips on keeping the sand so clean? My tank has been running for about 5 months now and the algae in the sand is annoying. Got a goby which is helping, somewhat. Thanks for sharing!

Hi. I am drawn to your reefscape and am really interested in how you went from the big hunk of rock then to the final product. Was this one big rock that you chiseled away at or several pieces attached.?


Can you show us how you did it?

May I ask how did you get some of the frags/corals to stick onto the glass/plastic part of the overflow? what kindof glue/putty did you use? Thxs

I did it with Oceans Wonders Reef Glue Gel

 

[theplantman]

If you don't want to glue directly to the glass, you can also use frag mags.

I have the Moorish Idol since Jun 2012. I was very lucky with him,... never saw him picking any coral

 

[Lamia2super]

That looks great !

Would love to see a new picture & some update of your beautiful tank! How's it going? Anything new?
