Rainbow in the Oceans

[Peter Hu]

Dear my friends here:

It has been a long time for me to go away from reef central. And I go so far as to forget my password. I have to apply for a new account.
Although it is very busy for me in last year, my reef tank never stop keeping.
Last year, I have changed my old small tank to this new tank.

Here is a picture for my tank, most of corals are moved from my small tank.

I will post more detail pictures tomorrow.

Thanks!
Peter Hu

Nice setup! What lighting are you using on your frag tank? Does it work well?

 

[Bad LS1]

Beautiful corals! Would you mind sharing with us your husbandry? What do you dose in tank, lighting, water changes etc. Your colors are stunning.

Beautiful tank, well balanced!
Do you feed/supplement those corals?

Thank you Sugar Bear.
I use two 150W HQI with 20kk.
It works so so, but colour is nature.
Since limted space, there is no way to add blue lighting.

I feed frozen mysis together with two little fishies Goniopower for LPS.
And feed Two little fishies ZoPlan for SPS.
Every other day I use Prodibio reefbooster together with two little fishies MarineSnow when night time.

Thanks for your kind words!
Keep SPS together with LPS limited my Lighting system.
If I increase the lighting, SPS can be more vivid; But LPS cannot adjust to more bright environment.

Hello Matt,
I began to saltwater in 2006.
Most corals you have seen were moved from my small tank 1 year before.
I like to collect rare LPS and Softies.

Thanks for your reply.
I will catch more pics.

Hello monique,

I'm glad to know you like my frag tank set up.
The frag tank use the same refuge with main tank. I use a Tunze nanowavebox to make water movement. And I use 2 150W HQI 14kk for frag tank lighting.

Hi Lordhelmet,

The last pic is a soft coral, but I donot good at identify the English name of corals. The special point for this coral is blue core and green polyp. It grows not very fast.
