Maroun.c 390 G build thread

[maroun.c]

Love your thread. Good work on all the thought you put into this! So cool that your fire shrimp mated! I hope mine do eventually

Thanks,
I beleieve they're very easy to mate and are almost all the time carrying eggs. Its just a matter of spotting them when they hatch and getting lucky with the pics.

An overdue update.
Chiller installed and finally fixed the issue with the overheating attick, solved it by directing the airflow tot he attick directly into the chiller air intake ( so it runs much cooler than the room) and having a Turbine at the back pushing hot air out of the room directly. Will remodify when I add my 2nd chiller.

some coral addition

From my last trip to Dubai:
Blastos: Never had luck with those and I believe this will be my last one unless if I have success with it. So far looks good.

Acan

Micromussa

got me some nice Zoos will post some pics when they move to the display tank.

Bluish stag in the back and my old red mille in the front:

Montipora confusa:

and a couple of green and yellow scrolls to replace the large colonies that got light burned.

Currently most corals in the tank are doing fine. Lost a few due to light burns (a very big green scroll, yellow one is on the way out as well, couple of chalices...) struggling a bit with some Cyano on the sand bed but it seems to be resolving.
Pagoda cup recovering:

Yellow scroll still looking bad

Other low light corals are doing good even in open areas:

Cynarina

Not able to see them myself I'm guessing something is wrong with photobucket!

I resolved my image-viewing problem (the new version of the Adobe Flash add-on to Firefox is in conflict with the RealPlus add-on). Your system is really looking beautiful.

Always good to see your updates of your build.
Don't keep us waiting for more

 

[maroun.c]

Thanks Aquafred,
Not much happening, Struggling currently with some corals getting burnt tips and STN from down up upon introduction. Thought it was light related but apparently its not although all parameters are spot on.
hopefully it'll inmprove soon so I can transfer te rest of the corals.

Had some time for some moonlight shots.

Wow, seriously? Looks amazing. Must be nice to look at the reef in moonlight...

 

[maroun.c]

Thanks Dainiusiva,
This is actually one of the best eye catchers under moonlights.
