Leonardo, the corals should come back nicely. What "trace elements" are you dosing, and in what amounts? Also, I did not see a skimmer in your hardware list. Are you currently running one?
Good, random flow is very important for overall coral health, and in my experience corals color up better when receiving proper flow.
Thanks! I'll try to post a picture soon. Because of the large skimmer (BK Supermarine 250), wet skimming and fast nutrient export I don't need a lot of bacteria to process any nutrients or detritus. I do not use any carbon source.
Thank you Kevin! Yes, I still run the BK Supermarine 250 and still very happy with it. The pictures are taken yesterday so the aquascape is still the same
I'm using Tropic Marin Iodine and Seachem Reef Trace. Next to that I'm using Balling Trace Elements from Fauna Marin in small quantity.
Thanks Nick, the Red Sea was readily available in the LFS, so that was the main reason for me to go with those. I will order some ATI Actinic when I replace them to check the differences.
I just let the acro's grow out
They have plenty of room around every colony, and light spread, flow etc is prepared for growth of the colonies. I had more reactions about the braincoral. I've had it for more then 5 years now, so it will be hard to say goodbye. But I agree, it is a bit out of place in this setup.I forgot to mention the skimmer in the equipment list :facepalm: I use a Bubble King Supermarine 250 and skim very wet. It really is the hart of the tank when using the BB methodology
And everybody else, thank you for the reactions and compliments! As I said before, it is good to be back here.

That's just for support because it has just been glued to the rock
I will remove it ASAP!Leonardo

Leonardo, I've followed all your threads from the the 1st Formosa Forest. Your tanks always have a very clean, contemporary, artistic look to them. IMO, I love these tanks the best. Looks like you've knocked another one out of the park! Very Nice, I'll be following along once again.

Not available to many people maintain a healthy aquarium with this only. :crazy1:
How long the tank has been running?

Leonardo,
I have been waiting a long time for your thread here. You have delivered impressive tanks in the past and i think this one will raise the bar even higher.
Anxiously waiting for further updates...

Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words, they mean a lot to me. It has been a while since FF1 but I'll think I'm on the right track again
Thank you! I worked for a long time selecting, growing out and arranging the corals for this tank and creating the right aquascape. And it is still an ongoing process.
It can be done when you follow the BB methodology. The tank has been up and running for about a year now, but the aquascape is just recently in its current shape.
Thank you
I'll keep you updated.Leonardo

To think you were going to pack it in. The tank is awesome. I'm looking forward to more pictures.
Yaahhooo! I love watching your work. Is that a small pile of sand in the back corner for your Halichoeres Chrysus? I'm currently bb also & used to have 3 Halichoeres Chrysus in my sand days-- they were super cool. I know some people put a tuperware sandbox/bed in bb sometimes for sand sleeping wrasse but I don't really have a good hiding spot in my tank for anything like that.
