Spectacular!

No words can describe the beauty of those corals and your tank husbandry has to be unparalleled.

Isn't there some sort of law that says you can't post top-down pics unless you include a FTS first? I'm sure I saw that written in stone somewhere ...

I do believe you are correct Dave.M.

Thanks guys but I am going to continue to break the rules for a while yet.

you tank is amazing. Where do you get your corals at?

 

[mseepman]

Greg, I'm gonna end up going broke buying frags of these corals from you! Spectacular pictures! I can't wait to get my build finished so I can order some of these!

Questions:

1. I saw at one time you were using a bio-pellet reactor. Are you still using it? If not, what are you using to control nitrates and phosphates.

2. Are you using a calcium reactor with CO2?

Thanks glad you like them. I source my corals from several places, trades with others and through coral suppliers, etc.

1- I used bio-pellets for a very brief time but didn't achieve the results I was hoping for. Now I use Prodibio for nitrate control.

2- No I have never used a Ca reactor, I have dosers.

For your tank I would think that dosing 2 part would be very expensive. Can you describe your dosing methods and materials you use.

Is using prodibio expensive on your tank? Do you use carbon or group reactors too?
