Hello everyone, I'm here with news and to show you the last pictures of the tank

This layout with 2years and 5months has reach a point were nothing could grow anymore :| chemistry battles everywhere, sand was sooo saturated, corals dying below on areas with 0% of light like it is normal, the fish couldn't swim properly with the coral density almost had to install traffic lights well a radical change had to be done.

3weeks ago was the big change day to Island Reef v1.1 , took us 9hours to take everything out and do a selection on the corals.

So here it is some pictures that I took of my mates taking the big colonies out of the tank

For now this is it, when today when I get home I will take a FTS of the final result with clear water.

2 days later:

KZ schedule has changed to initial dosings and the balling light was also reduced by 60% of the old Ca, Mg and Bicarb dosage for now... still my KH was 9.6 :S :S :S battling with Ca, Mg and KH ... testing everyday.

Lastest FTS:

Now the tank is recovering from the BIG change slowly, I can notice the colors coming back...

Couple of shots to prove it

Happy new year everyone

Looking a lot better. You are quite right to have changed things around a bit. It got too congested in there. Did you use new rocks?
