Norwegian 140g sps tank

Copy/paste from Korallen-Zucht:

For small polyp and large polyp stony corals, soft corals and clams as well as problem solving/solution in a salt water tank.

Coral Snow is a liquid secondary biological facilitator for elements like B-Balance or Potassium-Iodide/Fluoride Concentrate. Compatibel with all elements, also for Amino Acid and Vitalizer. Coral Snow contains among others a natural Calcium-Magnesium Carbonate mix. With just 2.5µ Coral Snow has an optimal size for absorption by SPS corals.
We dose Coral Snow daily with another element each. The dosage can be put into a glass together with another product, mixed and after about 5 min. slowly into the streaming of your tank.

You can dose 1 to max. 4 ml Coral Snow per 100L/25gallons tank water daily.

Coral Snow neutralizes undesirable acids and is a solution against e.g. slime algae and cyano bacteria.
Therefore take Corals Snow and add 1 drop of ZEObak per 100L/25 gallons tank water each 2nd day.

The cloudiness in the water is harmless for all fish as well as sensitive corals.

I love the transformation of that first one! Thats a real gem of a coral you got there.

I also really like the coral in the 2nd photo I quoted above. That one has REAL potential to really improve the colours and brighten up a bit.

Keep the updates coming man, you got some really nice corals. HAHA at some point you going to have to decide to let some go to let the rest grow to nice sizes. :lol:

Thanks I think the first one will be a winner. Not so sure about the Millie but I will keep you updated.

I recall somewhere on your thread you mentioned that you only do a few water changes per year...my question: Since you are running the balling lite, wont that slowly increase the salts over time? I was under the impression that Balling Lite system requires at least 10% water changes per week.Or maybe you are doing the Classic Balling System?

That is correct. I use the balling+ system. Not sure if that is called lite or classic. I replace saltwater with freshwater (RO) from time to time to compensate from the increased salt levels from the balling system. It has worked well for over a year, so I'll keep up my poor maintenance until I move to a bigger apartment (september) and a bigger system.

Here's a new batch of pictures!

Unknown Acropora.

Ricordea Florida's.

Acropora Granulosa.

Acropora Tenuis.

Rainbow Montipora.

Acropora Digitifera.

I lost the mothercolony of this frag for over a year ago to AEFW. Finally the frag is starting to get purple/blue tips! Only took thirteen months:celeb3: Think it's an Acropora Solitaryensis (imported as Efflorescens:hmm5.

 

[sahin]

Wow love that Tenius. Do you have any more photos of the Tenius. Want to see more shots of this coral. I love the dark blue/green hues. :thumbsup:

 

[selje]

I agree, Sahin. It's a really nice coral. It's currently on the bottom, not sure if it will color up more if I mount it higher on the reef. I'll try to take a couple of shots today

 

[selje]

Here is batch #2.

Finally my unknown Acropora is stretching out some hands. Can this be a weird growing Loripes?

Acropora Tortuosa.

Acropora Valida.

Acropora Pearlberry.

Acropora Valida tricolor.

 

[walvis]

I love the blend of colours on that Tenius. I think you are right, if you place it higher it might lighten up. If it were mine, I'd place it somewhere low in the tank to keep that colour.

 

[selje]

I agree Sahin. Here's a fresh picture with my 60mm macro lense.

 

[sahin]

Wow, thats a sweet sweet acro for sure. Thanks for posting it for my viewing pleasure. :thumbsup:

 

[selje]

You're welcome Sahin:rollface:

Here's some more.

My trigger broke off a fine frag from the Awi.

Acropora Granulosa.

Green Stag. Not sure about the proper ID.

 

[selje]

My reverse Sunset Monti has a poor green colour right now.

Montipora Mollis looks great.

Finally FTS with only ATI blue plus bulbs. Try to look away from the mess at the bottom.

Enough picture spam today

 

[sahin]

Haha, picture spam on this thread is very welcome. What exact foods do you feed your fishes?

 

[sahin]

Can you please tell me the exact foods you give your fishes? Thanks.

 

[selje]

Hi Sahin,

I use these products.

I also feed with frozen mysid/artemia/angel formula/red plancton once in a while.

 

[dvanacker]
