Havent tried it myself and wont give any recomondations on dosing. But google "Montipora potassium", "montipora bleaching" or similar, and find out if this might be the problem.

Very nice aquascape. What kind of camera did you use to take those beautiful pics?

Thanks ExtremeTang, I love aquascape in all manners and I want something interesting. But I have so much ideas of different aquascapes that I must have no less than 10 tanks:-) I definitively need new, big, my own apartment :-)

I have canon 550D I like it a lot. Lense is canon 100/2.8 macro, great piece for tank macro shot.
 
Guys what do you thing would be best for my tank. Use balling or Ca reactor.

I have now 7 pumps Ca, Mg, Kh, NaCl free, Vodka, and want to try some trace. Tropic Marin K+ A- ?

Or use shuran jet stream 1 ?

I like balling, easy to use, total control what and how much Im dosing. Im little bit scared about Ca reactors. Dont like Ph drop and some illnes of reactors.

What do you thing?
 
I add jebao wp25. I really like that pump. Small, silent nice power. Ill buy another one for main tank and I thing that my frag tank will like it too.

Please which brand of trace elements do you use? I have 2 free dosing pumps. Thanks.

Nice tank rock work photos diy . Can you fix my toilet ?
Click to expand...

Thanks reeflover, actualy a I'm not very good in homeworks, specialy toilets is my nightmare (after half year bill for water, which was enormly high I found that my toilet little bit leaking, so water still slowly flow, 6 months grrrrrrr )
 
Two months ago my friend asks me if I can make temperature controller for his reef. He is not very good in diy and I always enjoy new builds. He send me some links and I really like that. He bought one unit on ebay and I start to work. But i dont understand how to connect two sockets, this unit has conection for only one. All DIY projects use two sockets for heating and cooling. Then I found that my friend buy bad unit. I start to search and found that we need stc-1000 which has connections for two sockets. So I buy two stc 1000, one for me and start project. My friend really like results. Its far from sexy design but I use good components and quality waterproof box. Unfortunately before I can integrate my own unit, another friend, reefer, buying some frags from me and he said that he need something for monitoring temperature and switching on/off his fans. I show him my new unused unit, he liked it so much that I must sell it to him (for a very good price for me). So I must build third unit for my self heh. I started today morning and after 3 hours from scratch its done. Really fast when you know what to do. So there is it.



 
I can see the photos. Nice DIY work. Looks very professional! I built one of those years ago, before I got my GHL Profilux. They work really well.

Thanks a lot Sahin, I hope my will work long time too! Its not too sexy but its hidden so no problem. I'm little bit scared of one system for everything even if I know that there is some cool controlers on the market. I'll propably do something by my self based on arduino just for learning electronics. I love to do that this way a lot of fun :hmm3:

Thanks a lot.


I have a question. If I have good quality water, proper lighting, stable temperature, why I have so bat colours of my SPS? Could be problem of trace elements, I changing 60l water per week, with deep blue salt. My green plate monti is still very light green. My new dark red monti is after 2 months very light on colours too. Basicaly all my plate monti dont grow. Its basic SPS, dont know where could be a problem. Any idea?
