reefer_ro Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hello , My name is Cosmin , and i`m from Romania . I watched with great pleasure this forum for more than 2 years , and never i activated some account here , due my non-rich english language .

Arkayology Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 All three of your tangs are not suited for that size tank. I would remove them and get some fish that are better suited to that size tank. Other than that your tank looks great. Link to comment
reefer_ro Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Thank you for your first comment . I known about tang fish versus my tank dimensions , i`m sure that i can`t avoid your proposal in the future .. Your fish recomandations ? In last period the values of water started to be ok ... and i can continue with SPS corals population . Regarding water values : PH : 7.9-8.3 KH : 7-8 NO3 < 2-3 PO4 <- 0 Ca : 430 Mg : 1300 Thank you in advance ! Link to comment
Roshan8768 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Looks good, as mentioned above the tangs need to go ASAP. You could get 1 smaller tang and keep it for a year or 2 if you really want tangs. Otherwise, wrasses are cool fish.Maybe the yellow coris wrasse? Link to comment
reefer_ro Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 After some changes , my tank in that moment is something like that : I changed something in my livestock , and i`m waiting that my corals to grow ...maybe 2-3 years )) Link to comment

BRADYBUNCH7 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Love It! Amazing! Is that some kind of Itch on the clown or just markings! Keep up the good work! Check out my new build! Link to comment
hey Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Love It! Amazing! Is that some kind of Itch on the clown or just markings! Keep up the good work! Check out my new build! If you're referring to the blackish spots on the clown from what I have read everywhere about them they are coral stings and fade over time although new ones appear here and there quite frequently on mine.

Eclipse Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks for beatifull words !! Some recomandations ? For fish? Link to comment
Arkayology Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Your tank is coming along nicely. I see you removed the blue and scopes tangs? I think that was a good move. The yellow looks smallish and should be OK for a awhile in a tank your size. I can't really come down on you for having one tang though as I have one in my tank with similar dimensions. Your SPS are growing in nicely too! Great job! Link to comment
reefer_ro Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Thanks Yes , i removed the blue tang and scopas . Now , i`m waiting to grow all my sps Link to comment
reefer_ro Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 This is a tank with 6x24W T5 + 1x150W HQI . What time(hours) do you recomend to use per day T5 and HQI ? Thanks ! Link to comment
reefer_ro Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Any answers ? ... Link to comment
BattleAthletics Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I think Ark uses a radion pro instead of HQI and T5. Wonderful tank by the way! I love the scape too! Link to comment
Roshan8768 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Can you split the t5s or are they all on/off? I would go just half the t5s on for 2 hrs then turn all of them on for 8 hrs, then end with half on for 2 hrs. HQI comes on for 4-5 hr noontime burst Link to comment
reefer_ro Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 I updated my thread with some video , when my tank celebrates 1 year old Link to comment
