Reef Bommie

Hi, how much power the pump for the reactor biopelet?
And the output just in the sump? How pelets there in the reactor?

It's a media reactor (GAC, GFO, etc) not biopelets reactor. I use with active carbon...eheim pump adjustable flow is 37-75 gal/h.

I loved your first tank, I'm sure I will enjoy this one!

Can't wait to see your new set up. Simplicity I like...hehe.

A reef bommie, very amazing scape"¦"¦"¦...

Thanks..I have already introduced in the bommie frags that I have kept from my former aquarium. Some have brownish rather due to the high temperatures that have endured over the last weeks in the aquarium of cuttings (up to 84ºF):

I saw 3 tangs there. Any issue with them together? Did you place them in the tank at the same time?

No, any problem with them, they are peaceful species not usually show aggression toward other surgeons.
Naso has more time (6-7 months I think), and the other two were introduced in my previous aquarium 2-3 months ago.
 
These are fish that have kept from my previous project:

Young Naso lituratus (3 inches) .... The King of Reef Bommie.

Acanthurus olivaceus juvenile (2-2,5 inches)

Ctenochaetus strigosus (2 inches)

As you can see I have not kept my famous paracanthurus I had with me 12 years, its size and quarrelsome behavior once I reached the age adult I have made the difficult decision to seek a new home .... now is swimming in a 1000 gallons aquarium. : Yb615 [1]:

As for the gobies and other small fish, this is what I have preserved:

Male Synchiropus Moyeri "Ruby Red" (I had two females but both ended up jumping out of the aquarium ...'ll get another intendo of a female, to see if now that I have more rock are more comfortable and does not give to jump

Thanks for giving us a treat on your fish photos. I am restarting my tank now and it is not ready for SPS, so its time for me to focus on stocking some fish.
 
Hi Yano, first off... Awesome tank! Glad you're coming back with a new idea and setup [emoji106]

Something to ask you - is that Elacintinus Multifasciatum easy to keep? Does it do nervous and jumpy when first introduced into the tank?

Thanks Ancelot!
Multifasciatum is very easy to keep, at the beginning it can be quite shy and barely be seen more when you feed, but once is adapted be seen enough and eats everything...lovely fish!
 
Yano, really glad that you are starting a new tank.
Can you tell us about your frag tank? Is there a video or more photos and specs on it?

Here you can see a video I recorded it in January:

Previously I always had enough montipora frags whose growth was very fast in the Iwagumi reef and should be pruned frequently .... in my new aquarium don´t have any seriatoporas or montiporas corals because I don´t want more rapid coral growth, so actually I have only a few frags in this frag system. Now I'll use it more to help the adaptation of some new fish at the Reef Bommie.
 
Nice tank setup! How do you like the skimmer? I was about to purchase that kind but I am testing out the vertex omega 130.

I also want to purchase a pistol/goby pair but I'm afraid the shrimp will be to loud !
