Naka's 180 Starphire tank!!!

Naka, do you still have that African Bluestripe Pipefish? Does it require special feeding or care being housed with fish?

Also you said that you are using the Pappone method. What seafood are you feeding the coral? Did you buy the food live or frozen?

Yes, I still have that fish. I don't feed my pipefish anything. I see the fish picking/eating my pods all day.

Pappone = mussel, clams, oysters, shrimp all live except for the shrimp.

I stopped by naka's place recently and his tank looks the best ever. All corals were have grown a lot and the colors were becoming even more striking. His tank grows like the HGH tanks! Im taking tips from him

invincible569, what does HGH stand for?

I'm going to have to see that tank in person sometime.

Very nice job.

Ricky, Human Growth Hormone (steroid). It's used on the Italian tanks using the Blu Coral Method by Maurizio.

Human Growth Hormone would be my guess

Marc, you crack me up. You not the only person that started to scrape the overflow box. Colors pop out at you w/ clean back ground.

AMEN!

Awesome system! Very tasteful setup!

Is not having sand help a lot in preventing parasites?

I've been tagging along for a while, awesome set up.

Perhaps I missed it, is all of your flow from 2 vortechs and the return or is there more?

About how wide are you running the vortechs basically how much flow rate do you have?

 

[invincible569]

Wow, I remember when your frag was just a baby! he has grown so much!! Everything is looking great!

 

[GSMguy]

That Frag sitting in the chair must be liking the pappone It is growing really fast.

Where did the Apple berry monti come from?

 

[poknsnok]

your tank is an inspiration. Did you ever set up the RDSB/fuge.? By the way the SPS look it doesnt seem youve had any Po4 issues...
