A Smart? Aquarium in Taiwan...

Oh, BTW.... My guess is strong currents help keeping them together, but not sure...

Beautiful shots.
The corals look super healthy..
No matter how big your tank is, eventually corals will touch each other.. Just like in the ocean..
Most of the time, the corals work it out on their own..
Nice growth, Shih!

FTS update (2016.2.21)

Note: many hermit crab walked on sand bed because I added 150 of them to take care my algae blooming problem after adding LED lights.

Looking fantastic!

Thanks guys. However, actually my tank just recovered from a bad high N/P situation (RO filter malfunction), most coral color recovery fast after I correct the RO issue, but still some looks awful as below... (left: before high NP; right: after). I will post this coral color development from time to time.

Ditto that, the one on the left looks plastic decorative.

Haha... That's true

My friends in Taiwan said "sxxt, this is way too hilarious" when they saw the tube I put there to rise this coral... So no more funny look in tank now...

It seems my clownfish pair finally adapt well with hammers

 

[shih87]

Big guy, you grow too fat and block my FTS view....

So......

Will figure which one take the king seat....

Have to see them grouping together... ;-)

I love my ATI + LED combination, but really frustrated by software bugs on AP700, plus adding more light booming algae and cyano problem in the first 45 to 60 days, I think I just get them under control till recently...

Do share more on your new light system, I love reading your thread....

 

[shih87]

continue the work... removing two coral colonies grow fast enough but not to my expected direction or color.


I will trim them and only keep frags to start over on different places

You won TOTM and didn't announce it here. I can't check everywhere all the time. Sheesh.

Congrats, well deserved!
