He's certainly done a good job with that dendro. I heard that some Japanese reef-keepers are continually restocking too, but that wouldn't be the case here
I'm not sure how he does it either. I think it is more about providing the Dendro's with what they eat rather than having high nutrients. Dendronepthia eat Phytoplankton from my understanding. Maybe he doses Phyto heavily. I have also heard that the Japanese get Dendro's for the color and then throw them away when they die.
This corals are not dendro,that particulary coral from the picture is nephthea chabrol and is photosysntetic.

I figured it wasn't a dendro... has the dendro color but looks different.
Without reading through the entire old thread, I believe that's the guy that runs low calcium and alk (close to NSW) to keep down on coralline growth. Looks like he gets great growth nonetheless.
People sometimes bash the clean look of some of the Japanese tanks, but I love it. It's not natural to see coralline algae encrusted glass.
anyway now that I look at his site again, it contains one of my favorite clam images of all time... taking advantage of the boring nature of T. crocea clams...

Well that's prolly why he is having such good luck with it
Beautifull coral. I wonder why we don't see them here in the US more often.

)I've tried a red halogen on my tank but it looks kinda ugly.
Maybe I have a small tank and the spread is not that great.
The red color really lights up the blue spss into a purple color. Pretty cool effect. I had to take it off because the shimmering from the halogens (especially a red one) really made me dizzy.
I don't know the long time effects of it too.

i will never see a tank like that again thanks for sharing wow the best i have ever seen , did you see the back room
Love the tank, not so wild about all the equipment. Great if you like to tinker and are part engineer, but I'd be spending too much time trying to make it all run :lol:
Between, sumps & pumps, fuges & skimmers, MH, fans, powerheads, wavemakers, digital temp gauges, heaters, ballasts & powerstrips, topoffs & RO/DI, I already feel like someone should give me a degree in pseudo engineering
