Asureef Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Do you vacuum your sand or does it actually stay that clean? I have less bio-load than you and my sand looks like a mess. Either way, keep up the good work, sps are looking nice! Link to comment

Either way, keep up the good work, sps are looking nice! I find that my sandbed stays pretty clean when i keep my nutrients low but i sometimes vacuum my sandbed when doing weekly maintenance. Thanks alot man look forward seeing some more updates on your build Yeah how do you keep it that white? My sand is covered in coralline It stays pretty white just from keeping my nutrients low....Really?thats pretty cool Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 It stays pretty white just from keeping my nutrients low....Really?thats pretty cool It's annoying, is what it is. My sand looks all dirty, but it's not. Each grain of sand has it's own coating of purple coralline. Link to comment

Deckoz2302 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Lol hype does it for the love and seeing something he cares for progress just like everyone I imagine - however as we can see by the fts pictures, his care and skill of coral placement and care has gotten better over time. Anyone with a love for this hobby and a good feeling of shaping the unshapable can get there. Hype you got skills bro - in your care, knowledge and framing up the goods in high quality photography. And I'm sure most feel you are an inspiration. You were for me atleast. Link to comment

And I'm sure most feel you are an inspiration. You were for me atleast. Thanks alot for putting that in perspective deck. Im just another guy who loves the ocean and everything in it. This hobby just lets me indulge in my fascination. Im really appreciative of everyone who contributes to the thread because it makes it worth updating.Without you guys i literally wouldnt have anyone else to obsess about this hobby with what do people say when they see this tank in person? i think this tank deserves totm AGAIN. Whenever i order food the delivery guys mouth always drop Thanks alot man i feel the tank has changed quite a bit since totm and how do you manage to keep the seahorse in a reef? Well by making sure all of her needs are met...Keep her well fed,moderate flow,peaceful tankmates and things to hitch onto. Shes also a big girl and can handle flow better than other species.

teamschreiba Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Those new shots really are great hype. I find it near impossible to take shots that aren't FTS or macro/single coral shots that actually come out well. You really have created an amazingly colorful but still natural looking environment And on the note about the sand, I have found the same thing. Since my nutrients have been really low my sand bed has almost kept itself really white and clean. Link to comment
d'Espresso Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hype you got skillz! Keep them coming! Link to comment

I find if my phosphates get any higher than 0.10 ill start to have issues with algae. Although i have to give my cleanup crew some credit as well as they definitely contribute. Hype you got skillz!
