ClownReef, Redbora; thanks 
Emster, a venturi skimmer processes much more water and air with the same pump+needlewheel. Because I skim wet, this is an advantage for me. Needlewheels are more appropriate for drier skimming IMO. I get a lot out of my skimmer, about 1 gallon of tea-coloured skimmate per week.
Dave Dunbar, I do have some coralline growth, but only when my water needs some polishing Normally, with good waterchanges, a good working skimmer and fresh GFO and GAC, I don't have a lot of coralline growth. It just survives and not grow. My guess is that it needs some nutriets to grow well.
I clean the front windows every few days, so coralline have no chance on there, and I scrape off the back every 2 weeks with razor blade. Regular cleaning will prevent the growth
Thanks for your vote!
Kimoyo, thank you! The scientific name of the Cardinals is "Apogon Leptacanthus"

Cool! I'm curious wahat you experiences are with the Trace-elements in combination with the 2-part. Keep me updated please
Second tank is doing better and better. The eggcrate-structure is ready to go in and I already collected many different SPS to propagate.
More info+updates on that later!

Leonardo,
I am having a very hard time deciding lighting for my cube (32x32x25)
What type of lighting do you have?
Thanks!

Are you doing something different with your new tank with the eggcrate?
I'll let you know how the trace + 2 part goes. I need to have AO order the trace for me soon.

Thanks Chrisrush
The second tank that is connected with the Formosa-Forest is a BB setup with eggcrate shelves. The tank will be used for propagation only.
Leonardo
I understand now. I thought the 2nd tank was going to be separated.
I will be in Ireland next week, so I'll see about picking up some trace b elements if I can get a chance.

Leonardo, awesome tank. Is the TM Bio Calcium and Bio Magnesium part of the balling method? How did you light your second system?
roberts722, I know, about 1" a month
stony_corals; Thank you! I currenty use TM Biocalcium and Biomagnesium but is is becoming too expensive.
I will use the "2-part salts" for the Balling-Method+a Grotech TECIII dosingpump.
The second tank is lit by a 6x39 Watt T5 ATI Sunpower pendant with Korallenzucht and ATI bulbs.

Love you tank.
yellowwatchmen, thank you!
stony_corals; I use KorallenZucht, D&D (Deltec) and ATI bulbs.
2 KorallenZucht Corallight
1 KorallenZucht Fiji Purple
1 D&D Pure Actinic
1 D&D Actinic
1 ATI Blue+
kimoyo; The pink fishes are Myripristis Jacobus. They became too large for the tank 3 months ago. Too bad I couldn't keep them. They went to a 1000+ G FO tank.
This is a better picture.
