dvanacker's 200g SPS tank......

[v1...rotate]

Here is an updated FTS with daylights.....

Beautiful!!! Really really beautiful!!!

 

[maestro]

Fantastic, ive never seen suck great colours!

what levels do you keep alk calcium and mag at?

how often do you dose the iodine and also the microbacter7?

 

[dvanacker]

Glad everyone likes the pics....

Whoa. Great looking PM colony! How long have you been growing that out?

at least 1.5yrs....might be gettings close to 2yrs now. Never even thought once about fraging it.

such a great tank, a school of anthias wouldnt look out of place. Ohyeah the coral on the jar looks pornographic now haha.

I know.....if I didnt think it was already a touch cramped in there I would go for it. Might add a few more wrasse though.

Ya that meteor shower on the jar does look like a *** toy a bit doesnt it....:eek2: Now that you put that in my head I might have to change that up.

I dont use iodine or MB7. alk is 7-8dkh , ca 380-420ppm, mg 1100-1300ppm

ah ok, It said on page one you were using them, apologies.

Are you still using the pellets for nutrient control? if so how do you find them?

Did you get the red convexa from Greg Timms? I have a very similar piece; stunning color and very fast growth!

 

[veloboy]

Awesome! Nice scape - nicer corals! Well done!

What other fish do you have besides the tangs in the pics? I dont think 5 of the smaller anthias would crowd it something like dispar, nice coloration, easy to keep and dont grow to big and add movement to the tank.

I am suprised no TOTM, this is my fav tank on here ATM, good job.

 

[tripdad]

beautiful tank, especially appreciate the deep blues. Very well done.

 

[JAustin]

Very very nice SPS dominated large reef. You have done a great job. I can't imagine how this reef will look in 6 months.

Do you ever sell frag packs?

 

[MHG]

The colors are amazing. I have some of the same corals and mine look pail, brown, and colorless in comparison... I am told it is because I run an ULNS. What are your nitrates at and do you dose anything? It may have already been asked so I apologize.

 

[IridescentLily]

Nice tank.

 

[smartandfast]

Wow, looks like TOTM material right here!

 

[Alex T.]

The coral colors are amazing. I'm impressed by how pastel some of the corals appear like in a Zeovit tank, while some of the others have kept their dark, rich pigment. The contrast is striking, and a testament to your obvious husbandry practices.

Great job. I'm envious.

Very nice tank! Looking forward to seeing more pics as time goes on!

 

[Moser]
