  1. Amazing tank with excellent coloration if the corals. True inspiration. I like that you mentioned simple, as sometimes, that's really important in this hobby!
    Once I found something that worked for me, I stuck to it without attempting to chase the latest methods or trends. I found a remark by a reefer made in an American forum to be very thoughtful - to have a successful reef tank, COPY what those tank owners do.
  2. Beautiful SPS lagoon!!!!,,,,Bro, from the pictures your different SPS species almost touching each other, how you handle it?

    Thanks gambits :)

    Several of the sps corals are actually touching or even growing around or encrusting each other. My own carelessness resulted in my blue tort frag being burnt 50% by a table millepora due to encroachment and my kit Kat acropora meeting it's demise as a result of being squeezed between an a.prostrata and an encrusting montipora. Depending on species, I believe that relocation of some sps corals would need to happen as they grow. The staghorn acropora species are the best in terms of compatability as they tolerate each other without outright warfare resulting in burns and Stn/rtn.

  3. I have a medium sized (6 inches in diameter) acropora valida with a whitish cream base and purple tips for sale if you are interested. It's browned out except for some tips due to it being shaded by one of my table acros. However, it's an easy and hardy SPS coral which recovers colours quickly.

    Let me know if you are interested via PM.

  4. I have heavy bioload. Export nutrients through wet Skimming and refugium. My water change regime use to be 1 pail per week (18L distilled water with tropic marine salt mix). Now I do 2 pails water change fortnightly. I find that the increase volume helps to dilute the nutrients more effectively. My corals prefer it this way. I only dose iodine once a week and amino acid on alternate days. Nothing else.Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
    Hello James, If you change 36 liters of saltwater every week instead of fortnightly, you will witness even more positive changes in your corals.
