Noticed there haven't been any posts lately, any updates?

Yes, there will be an update next week. I'll answer all other questions then too.

The tank is going well in it's final months.

Update Pics












The tank is going well and is still in cruise control. I'm running out of room within the tank and it is causing some water movement problems. I'm electing not to buy any other water pumps just yet. The light unit is going very well and I'm extremely happy with it.

Nothing has changed since the last update with regards to the bulbs and zeovit dosage except that the dosage amount of start3 per day has been increased ever so slightly.

Bulb Combo, all bulbs are ATI and the unit is 12cm above the water level.

3ml ZeoSpur2 x1 every 10-13 days

Carbon
I change carbon every 3-4 weeks and use 450ml place in a filter bag.

Zeolites
I change the stones every 6-8 weeks and use 1400ml (approx 1 1/2 bags)

Do you have also coraline algae? Cause this tank looks like never been get any dirt in it...

Haha... thank you. There is no coraline algae as it doesn't seem to grow.

Just checked out your very interesting and most of all beautiful tankreview... and than I spotted this



The coral in the right corner is that a Tubastrea Sp.?

Keep up the lovely cruise...

Thank you for the kind words. Yes I had three of them however I didn't feed them enough so they passed away.

Hi mate,

Thanks for the advice on the lift motor. I have received this now. Can you tell me though did you use the stainless cable supplied with it or did you just use the stainless cable kit from your ATI light?

Cheers

Craig

Craig, I replied to you via a PM. Cheers

is there any chance you could upload your ati hybrid schedule?

Also how far is it off the water i'm sure this is mentioned, but i've just bought one and mine is sitting about 3 inches off the water.

I get a BIG spotlight affect on my tank with the leds have you noticed this I can't see it in your photos

I think I posted the schedule a few pages back. It hasn't changed since then. It sits 12cm above the water level. Maybe raise the lights a little to help eliminate the spot light effect. It could also be caused if you don't have your T5 tubes turned up to a high intensity.

Thank you everybody for following along.

Simply amazing. I feel good reading this thread when I've just ordered an ATI Hybrid =). Maybe finally I can get some growth on my acros which my Pacific Sun Metis Hyperion will not give me

I gave up on LED's a long time ago.... :thumbsup:

 

[DP Reef]

Wow, you have really inspired me on my new tank build. What is the height of your stand and how recessed is your tank into the stand?

 

[DP Reef]

Do you think you could have done as well with a Vertex 170 or do you feel the 200 was the perfect size for your system?

 

[Hysa]

Beautiful tank and great thread, so much to see.
Are you dosing Zeoback and Food7 together?

Is there any reason this has not received TOTM... or has it?
