This is probably the best thread I've found on Reef Central. I love that 800l tank and the macro shots. Paszembe, I also really enjoyed your regular updates on those beautiful acros. And congrats on your TOTM!

Great. We now have a whole new adventure to look forward to...

Wow! Fantastic. Amazing.
Pretty darn good for 'not the best day'
Love the photography.

When are you planning to do the transfer to the new tank? I might be doing one soon and the risk is terrifying. maybe i can pick up some tricks on here.

 

[paszembe]

@vinhle00 - I'll be transferring the livestock probably in August/September. I'm going to start this new tank and let it cycle for a while (2/3 months), than I'm going to slowly mix water between two tanks and finally put them together as one system - than move all the corals and fishes and finally shut down the old tank. I've never done this before so I can't be sure if it's the best idea - but it's be best that I can think of at the moment.
btw. I've done all the pipes and valves and the tank is filling now with RODI water.

Wavebox test with fresh water:

New tank looks great. :beer:

 

[vinhle00]

that sounds like a solid plan i wish you the best. The main problem for me is i really want to put the new tank where the old one is but i'm going to just have to find a spot somewhere else in my house. thank you for the info.

Absolutely spectacular!!

 

[youdontknowme]

Truly amazing! What frozen food do u feed your fish and how often??

 

[this is me]

Awesome tank. Those colonies are spectacular! Also love that huge squamosa clam in the bottom!

 

[paszembe]

Thank you all again.
@youdontknowme:
I feed my fish twice a day with mix of different frozen foods (6 cubes a day), seaweed every two days and sometimes ReefPearls dry food.
When it comes to frozen food I use krill/mysis/artemia or any other I have in my fridge at the moment.

Pawel

Amazing tank!

Are those corals in the lower front new additions? any close up picture of that rock in the center bottom next to the blue tang with those mini colonies on it?

 

[paszembe]

Vinhle - they are mostly little frags from back of my tank - only one frag is quite new (2-3months).

I didn't have any space left so I had to add some rock
This is the picture of this frag:

Iphone movie (last week) so colors are out of balance but still you can see how little space I have left.

Dude unreal, absolutely stunning. I also have never seen fish seem so happy and at home. The tangs looked like they were at Disney land for the first time.
