450 Gallon Reef Setup

What the ..... Heck? Do you have a direct pipeline to chalice utopia? Wow!

Could you share your lighting and feeding process/schedule with us newbies? I am told chalices can be light sensitive and you have halides, just curious. Do you add plankton often to the system as it's the life blood of our oceans?

Thanks!

I don't use halides anymore. Not because I couldn't keep corals, but because the colours are better with T5.

I feed cyclopeeze, Reef-roids and Oyster Feast. I usually feed one or two of these a day, before lights out.

I also have lots of fish, that helps me out

Thanks for the compliments.

Some very serious good looking eye candy you have there sir. Gonna give some followers reef diabetes.

The individual corals are beautifully coloured and healthy; but more importantly, this system is most certainly worthy of TOTM. The display has numerous beautiful and nicely sized colonies.

And the photography is superb! Keep up the great work. And keep them photos coming. Honestly, after a hard days work, I really like sitting at my laptop or Ipad and browsing beautiful coral threads. I much prefer doing this than even watching TV.

Many thanks for posting. :beer:

Thanks for the compliments Sahin, nice to see you back again everytime I post photos. If it weren't for people like you, and the others commenting I wouldn't bother posting as many photos as I do.

Thanks again, and stay tuned for more stuff as always
