Hi Glen,

What is your routine at NPS system? Do you make water change, how often and what do you feed, etc?

Glenn,...your water is so clear!...the fish look to be floating in mid air. How do you keep the water so clear with all those fish? I would think the corals would catch detritus and then clarity would be less... I love all your pics.---Rick

it's clear alright.

i use the powerfilter principle on my mainpump

my most recent powerfilter setup

A powerfilter is nothing else than a pump with filter wool on the intake.
preferable an 1000-3000l/h pump (it depends in the size of your tank)

a few examples:

I copied your method and starting using floss awhile ago from some of your previous posts,...mine is clearer, but your water looks polished,...I can't remember,...do you use any ozone? Thanks in advance,---Rick

i do use ozone and UV mainly protect my fish against parasited.

the longer you use it the cleaner your water become.
i clean mine between 3-5 days

who said softies and acropora's don't mix in one tank.
Any closer than they will assimilate

 

[glennf]

I need to raise the waterlevel of my tank....

You need a tank that is twice as high.
