The lighting consists of 8 T5 39 watts, 2 (10 ° K), 2 (460nm) and 4 (420nm) controlled by the RK2.
Skimmer DIY

Currently my tank is 170x65x65
I have no DSB
internal movement I have it with two wavemakers and 8 Koralias 12V
In addition, four Koralia evolution 1400 found at the base of the tank to remove and suspend the detritus to be exported.

Cool. How are your Tubastrea doing?

The rice experiment is an interesting thread and have been reading along as well.

Should we be expecting joanxavier and Grolux to come over here soon :)

I have to check if my account is still active, if not, then I will reactivate it. E-coralia is one of the sites that I visit religously, as with a few other sites internationally. My wife considers this hobby my second job with the amount of time spent on it, online, on the phone and a few road trips but I would not have it any other way.

to prevent his death, I had to tone it at the bottom of the terraces to not receive anything from light and strong currents.
 
But all was not happiness, in April 2008 for first time, a fungus was present infecting this gorgonian that I could rescue a fragment of reef dip baths.
