nice reef

I will show you how the balling products look like, they are made by a company here in Norway.

Then you just mix the products with RO/DI water, and then youre done. If you have a lot of room, then you can make batches with balling that will last for a year or even longer. But i don`t have room for any bigger then these one :

And I use this system to dose it 3 times a day ( I don`t use the products in pic. )

Welcome to RS Joachim

Love the tank and the ingenius method of keeping the rockwork elevated

Joachim B · 06-18-2007, 11:05 PM

Thank`s guys. You really make me feel welcome here on this great site!

I think that I will start to add some corals when the pay-check comes in july

. I think that I will start with hammer, frogspawn, lobophyllia and maybe a clam if I can find a good one. I also want to buy a zebrasoma gemmatum.
I hope you understand my writing, 8 years since I last had english in school, but we all speak reef

A little update. I have decided to not go with the balling method on my display tank, so i have made a calcium reactor. (i will use balling on my frag tank) ca.reactor:

I have not added any new corals, i want to tune in my ca.reactor before i start adding sps. But i will be getting a lot of frags from rudi`s beuatiful reef next month (this months TOTM on RC). But i have added some new fish:

Chelmon rostratus

Coral beauty:

Centropyge lorriculus:

Zebrazoma desardjinii:

Joachim, very impressive indeed! this is going to be a show stopper, you really need to post more often! in the last picture what is the tablet? Steve

Joachim B · 07-14-2007, 09:52 AM

do you mean the reef-plug? i put in some of them to see if they did anything to my water. They did`nt, but i don`t think i will use them anyway, i think they are to ugly..

sasquatch · 07-14-2007, 09:54 AM

OH, I thought it might be alka seltzer lol, must be quite a job getting equipment and supplies there

Joachim B · 07-14-2007, 10:09 AM

I have just been through the first month with my acuatronica aquarium computer, and i love it. The coolest thing is that i can see graphs from all my probes on my pc. This is the graph for my salinity, as you can see it is pretty stable at 1026:

Craig Manoukian · 07-14-2007, 11:16 AM

Hello Joachim, very nice seeing the different methods and products used in other parts of the world. Your livestock look very healthy!

Joachim B · 07-14-2007, 11:23 AM

my LFS qt all livestock for 2 months before they sell them, so everything i buy there is really healthy

Craig Manoukian · 07-14-2007, 11:28 AM

Now that's a good LFS!

cheeks69 · 07-14-2007, 11:59 AM

That CR looks very similar in appearance to one made by aqua-medic

How is the Rostratus doing, is he eating well ?
