You have an amazing tank! I love the colors...

How old is your beautiful reef tank?

Thanks

furchteinflößend

 

[leaffish75]

what kind of T-5 bulbs are you using? Do you cycle your lights?

 

[i2ik]

Thats a truly BEAUTIFUL tank, should be a tank of the month!!!

Tell us more, more more!!!
Do you feed your anthias often? Do you have an auto feeder for them? Refugium?

 

[Fliger]

Amazing ...

And once again the theory that you have to have MH to get great colors is dispelled ...

 

[aqua_fire_rium]

Wow absolutely gorgeous!.

very nice.

 

[cwegescheide]

WOW. That looks like my tank!!! LOL.. Amazing tank. I'm envious!!

OK I went to his website.. ENGLISH PLEASE!!

How long has the tank and its inhabitants been established?

Now don't leave us hangin here!!

 

[maxvan1]

Hmm... can't see the pictures... sounds very nice though.

Maybe you were updating the website at the time (couldnt find the page, and the pictures didnt come up)

 

[Tbohinc]

Looks great

would love to have more infomation on your system

 

[CTS]

One of the best tank I have ever saw, just amazing!!

 

[fishdoc11]

Wow! Very impressive

 

[blkSupra]

I hate to speek for another person, but..

"Mit welcher Technik läuft mein Miniriff?"

Translates roughly to "What technology do I use in my tank"..

From the text and drawings it appears to use a total of (10) bulbs.

(5) White "pipes"
(5) Blue "pipes"

Total of 696 watts.

He says t5 Leuchstoff-Rohren. Leuchstoff I assume would be Leuchstoff-Osram bulbs. The Rohren noun means "pipes".. So light "pipes" aka "tubes"..

If anyone needs any more of the site translated let me know.

 

[clkwrk]

OMG that is bea...utiful ! Excellent work .

 

[sonofgaladriel]

Sweet mother of God!!! That is absolutely stunning!!! And with T5's? Simply amazing. I'm very jealous. Congratulations on a spectacular reef Iwan.

 

[iwan]

Thanks again

to the upcoming questions:

if you look on his website, he runs all T5

Yes.... I use only T5 bulbs!!

what kind of T-5 bulbs are you using?

At the moment

2x54 Watt ATI Aquablue special
2x54 Watt ATI Blue plus
3x80 Watt ATI Aquablue special
3x80 Watt ATI Blue plus

makes 696 Watt

but i'll stock it up to:

2x54 Watt ATI Aquablue special
2x54 Watt ATI Blue plus
4x80 Watt ATI Aquablue special
4x80 Watt ATI Blue plus

makes 856 Watt

I expect better colors with the increased light.

How long has the tank and its inhabitants been established?

The tank is since 2 years a stone coral reef. Before it was a fish/soft coral tank.

Do you feed your anthias often? Do you have an auto feeder for them?

No...I feed one, up to two times per day (mysis, artemias, cyclop eeze...)

Thats a truly BEAUTIFUL tank, should be a tank of the month!!!

That would me make very happy.....let's go...vote, vote, vote:dance: :bounce1: :dance: :bounce2: :dance: :bounce3:
