Gandalf Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 powered by a 150w Radium 20k DE HQI. 10g sump/refug with remora urching in-sump spray injected skimmer. I use ESV's 2-part Calcium Buffer System. Current Residents incluse a Neon Dottyback, Blue Striped Clown, and a Pacific Hippo Blue Tang that is only the size of a Quarter. This tang gets PLENTY of exercise via 4 Maxi Jet 1200 Powerheads inside the tank---all are controlled by a Red Sea Wavemaster Pro Wavemaker. I have several species of Acropora, Montipora, Favities, just to name a few. Site If you have any questions about maintaing a system of acropora in such a small enviorment--feel free to contact me via this thread or by email Cheers and Happy Independence Day!!!! joe Link to comment

Kapelakin Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Can you post a pic or two here? Yahoo! says your site has exceeded it's allotted data transfer, so I can't get in. Link to comment
JIM27 Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Thats a really nice tank. A radium and 2 actinics, thats a lot of blue. Is there any loss of intensity with the radiums(as compared to 10k)? I like the color and I heard you don't need actinic suppliment with them. (Edited by JIM27 at 2:59 am on July 5, 2002) Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Very cool Gandalf! How do you handle the heat from the lighting? Or is it just far enough above the tank? Link to comment
Gandalf Posted July 6, 2002 Author Share Posted July 6, 2002 I use a fan blowing on the surface of the water, temp is between 78-81 Link to comment
NanoReefer53 Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 wow...on RC u would be flamed to death for having that baby blue hippo in there. o yea, did u grow your SPS's from frags of were they already colonies ? if frags, how long did it take to grow into multi-branching ones. and another thing, get a better web-host. GEOCITIES SUX !! every time i try to visit it says the upload rate has been exceeded. try out the Nano-Reef.com hosting. Link to comment
JIM27 Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 Here's the whole tank pic for those that can't see it. The site seems to work for me every once in a while. Also does anybody know if there's any loss of intensity with radiums, I still haven't got an answer. Link to comment
NanoReefer53 Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 people have noted that they see the same growth rate as iwasakis. The PAR might not be as strong (recommended to run on HQI for best ) but i'm guessing the spectrum gives the corals what they need to grow. Link to comment
cal3v Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 Nice tank. Allright, another sps nano keeper here. Link to comment
Sahin Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 OK, I got in this time. Beautiful tank! Purple tipped acros are my fav. The green macro-algae makes for a very nice colour contrast. Nice linkia. Green acro and the montipora look good too. A tank well done. Link to comment
