295-gallon Peninsular ZEOVit SPS with Solaris I Series

What kind of trigger is in there? And does he nip your corals? Seems like the only "reef cautious" triggers arent my favorites. TOTM can come, you have the right start, that is for sure!

Thanks Joe once again...the Trigger is a Niger Trigger and he's quite well behave so far. Have him for 9 months now and have grown quite a bit. He does not nip corals but comes feeding time can get a little aggressive but so is my Tangs

NICE!!!!!! btw, Do you use RO/DI water? It seems very hard to get DI filter units in Asia.... I can only get the RO here in Taiwan.... not DI.... (although some TW factories produce DI filters, but they only do export)

I used a 5-stage RO

Settling in tank….

Settling in tank….

Jeweled Blenny:
My only concern with a Zeovit system, eventually he will not have any algae left to feed. Hopefully I can train him on eating palettes and brine shrimps by then.

Long Nose Hawkfish:

Purple Firefish:
Funny that 3 of the dartfish does not seem to want to mix with the other lone ranger??

Yellowtail Coris Wrasse:
Not as large as some of Coris family as research stated it grows up to 30cm in the wild. A local reefer has one in his tank for over a year now and in captive tank, does not seem to grow even half that size.

Your tank is beautiful, Ed!! Still loving your aquascape. and it's even nicer now with your coral

 

[Ed Reef]

As juveniles they live in groups. As adults they live in pairs only.

I decided to start over - threw out my SPS

Thanks Dave - do you think it will be fine if I add the Orange species firefish?? Will they fight or just accept each other??

Awesome additions Ed....

Sorry to hear about that Terry. Have you thought about dipping your corals in the future? Lol (kidding)

I had a single firefish with a single purple firefish and a pair of Helfrichs firefish together in a 250 with no problems and I've frequently mixed the species with no issues. The problems I've had is when putting the same species together. Doesn't always work out but larger tanks give them more room to separate.
