Naka's 180 Starphire tank!!!

I'm not sure. I'm going to Austin at the end of the month, and then Pittsburgh for MACNA. Are you going too?

 

[naka]

No, but I'm going to LA in September. I'll stop by reefermadness in Torance.

 

[melev]

Have a great time. Take some pictures so we can see what corals look like from your camera.

 

[naka]

Thanks, I might go crazy and bring your topdown box

 

[melev]

I really would like to see a version of the corals that was taken by a hobbyist, and I'm not suggesting to skip the Photoshop cleanup. I just want something to compare the two for once.

 

[naka]

It's going to look crazy from topdown b/c of Kris' 1000 watt 20k bulb. I can't wait to walk into that place.

Nice tank naka

Thanks for the update James, it's about time. The tank is looking great. How about an updated FTS? Didn't think you would get away without one did you?

really nice corals...now I know why you have such a good rep!

 

[naka]

Hey thanks guys. Marshal, I'm holding off on FTS for couple more months. I want to surprise everyone w/ growth.

Hey naka is that cyano that is on the rocks in the picture with the ponape rosario? I am using the BC method and have not had any cyano growth at all. Do you think you have enough flow?

 

[naka]

it's not cyano, but some red turf algae that I got from Marshal. j/k It came from one of the frags through trading. I really don't mind it, but I got some different kind of snails to take care of it.

Naka real NICE>>How do you keep your rocks so clean. I have to continualy blow off deitris buildup. Do you have a special trick. Your water clarity is always super clean.

 

[fishfanatic06]

Geez Marshal! Way to go! JK I really like the rich coloration on the corals since you have been using the pappone. My colors are just like yours. I can't even imagine what the FTS is gonna look like!

very clean naka, keep them pics coming. cant wait for the surprise shot.

Beautiful tank Naka!! Just read all 31 pages and I am very impressed - I want a rimless tank!

One question: are you happier now that you are using pappone instead of the zeovit system? How do you compare the two systems?

Thanks

update FTS

 

[naka]

No FTS yet. I'm going to wait until my corals grow out more.
I think pappone gives more rich colors than Zeovit.

 

[fishfanatic06]

Naka, any updates??

 

[naka]

Just watching my corals grow. There isn't much difference.
