I will go on...
Fishes: there must be, about 80
Corals: a lot, the 85% are frags from themselves.
Livre rock, about 200kg from Kenia.
The decoration is elevated four centimetres of the crystal to favor the cleaning.
Another defects that commonly present reef aquariums is the production of acid sulphidric because of low zones in oxygen underneath the decoration by sediments accumulation, like a consequence of rock (lives and not live) that are used, (and still more if sand of bad quality is used). In this case the best thing is to use a support that elevates the reef and lets underneath pass a water flow, I prefer to use a PVC structure and united backplanes with PVC, so it can move 12.000 l/h
The system is Berlin, without substrate, when Francisco start it, there was any good sand in Spain.
Troubles Francisco has had:
1.- After a year, the wiring wasnÃ"šÃ‚´t enough, and he had to do it again, because the bulb didnÃ"šÃ‚´t get the right Ã"šÃ‚ºk.
2.-Electricity in the aquarium, because of a defective Ocean Runner. After solving these troubles, the Ca levels areeasy to be kept, having problems to avoid beating 500ppm (Saliferte test).
3.- On March, a storm put off the power of the aquarium for 15 hours, Francisco was traveling. Although it wasnÃ"šÃ‚´t a lot of time, more than 30 fishes died and he filled a 5l bottle (about 1,3gal) with died acros. Now the aquarium is recovered thanks to the growth.
Since then, Francisco made some improvements:
He installed a web cam which let him see the aquarium every time he wants (the aquarium isnÃ"šÃ‚´t at home, it is in his office ); you can see it in his web.
He also installed a phone warned, that calls him if the aquarium tunr off, and aslo installed a device which automatically turn on.

I hope you understand FranciscoÃ"šÃ‚´s system better now...
