Leonardo's Formosa Forest

[CleveYank]

Seeing as I was in Holland as recently as 04' everything was so expensive. Well in The Hague, Lieden, Voorschoten , Amsterdam, to name a few. I bet that tank cost so many Euro it's not even funny. Nice work though. Tank is impressive.

I've made some new pictures from my propagation tank. Most of these corals will be placed in my new tank.
I will upgrade in April. Same style-just a bigger tank

Thanks mbunaman! Here you go, not an excellent picture, but I hope you get the idea.

Lighting is a 6x39 Watt ATI Sunpower pendant btw.

Happy Xmas

Do post more pics.. i cant get enough of your tank(s).

 

[adddo]

Leo, btw did you ever start using Dextrosol also?

I'm asking because i will cut back on my vodka dosing and combine it with sugar instead and i've heard grapesugar (dextro) and regular sugar helps different kinds of bacteria.

Nice selection of fish & sps, well done.

Why did you get rid of the big eyes? Were they getting too large?

 

[Rickyrooz1]

Awesome tank! Did you switch tanks? The newest FTS doesn't look the same as the first shots you uploaded.

adddo, I don't use any Carbon-source anymore, because I developed a Cyano problem when I dosed it for a while. Maybe it has something to do with the Redfield-ratio.
I stopped dosing and the cyano dissapeared.
Merry Christmas to you too! I will post more pics soon.

Oldude, Thank you!

JCurry, The soldierfish became too large and began to try to eat my Apogons... In April, when I will start my large tank, I will try them again.

Rickyrooz1, the last pictures are from my propagation-tank. The Formosa-Forest tank is next to it.

I have made some new pictures. With T5 only in the Formosa-Forest (MH were off), and actinic in the propagation tank.

First, the Full-Tank-Shots (Couldn't clean the glass because the corals are too large)

Next, some of the colonies in my propagationtank. I've bought these last month, and I'm letting them grow untill I can transfer all corals to the new tank. This will be a 250 Gallon Rimless.

Green Acropora Humilis. Acropora-crab in the middle.

Humilis Close

I've bought this colony a few weeks ago with discount. It was totally browned out. It's regaining some of it's colour already. You can see some green coming through.

And the last one. I'm very exited -as a staghorn-collector- that I have this new staghorn frag. It comes from a wild Acropora colony. Don't have an ID yet.
