Those are some sweet SPS pieces.

Thx animal..

 

+1 sorry about the STN but you still have a really awesome looking tank.

 

Thx,,i dont know what cause my SPS STN ?All parameter looks okay..

 

Ca = 450

KH = 9

MG = 1400

Po4 = 0.01

N03 = 0.2

SG = 1.026

 

But i think it because there's many zoa in my tank, could it be possible ?

Someday i read some article, that LPS + SPS = Not a big problem , but SPS + Softies = Disaster :unsure:

right on bud, this tank is going to be sweet when it grows in...i only think people who strive to keep a variety of SPS really appreciate the beauty of reef building coral and understand what keeping a low nutrient system is all about. I also run a primarily zoa and sps tank.

I found your thread via your recent post to my new build thread over on RC. Thanks for your kind words on my new build. Your tank is looking great. I hope to have the same success with my SPS.

Thx Urbaneks,

Your nano tank is one of my inspiration, all placement for the coral, it looks perfect,,

im sure your new tank will be more better from your nano..

 

your tank is amazing! I'm so jealous lol

I especially adore your Harlequin Shrimp :happy:

this tank is great...how would you compare your LED to a Metal Halide lamp? Which would you choose if you could start all over again?

Thx DAHNIC561, as for lighting, LED is my favorite, from heat issue until temp color ,, You can chose what kind of temp color you want with DIY your LED Fixture,,and for LED, i see more growth from my SPS,,best equipment i ever had, more to come i want use MP10 for flow than 3 x Tunze 6025 and add more supplement for my lighting...

 

 

And forgive me for my bad english, i hope you understand what i mean :)

Sorry for lack update .. i have a bad news, my sps and few lps bleaching after add 200ml ( usually 50ml ) Phosguard to my system. i dont know why, but my friend says, maybe its because PO4 drain too quickly. i try a various way to get their color back, start from adding lugols, potassion, koral color, pocci glow, Pohl xtra-S, iron, amino acid,,,etc.

But after 2 months, things got worst, so i decide to rescaping my tank and discard many SPS, LPS and Zoa ..

 

Pic before rescape ..

More shallow and more simple, give fish more freadom to swim and give SPS more room to grow
