Reef Bommie

[yano]

That sump is awesome, I also love the shrimp/goby pair. Have you thought about some wrasses, they add some great color and movement to the tank.

Thanks, they are more 4 years with me.
I have no Wrasses, have never caught my attention because they are too big for my taste (I like that in my aquarium only fishes with greater prominence, as surgeons, angels or butterflies exceed 2 inches in length) ... I have considered the option to include some small wetmorella, but for now is only an option.

Ahh. You should try a pair of e.figaro. They would look cool with your neon gobies

Any pics of my tangs:

Naso lituratus, "the King" of Bommie.

Acanthurus Olivaceus juvenile, beginning to appreciate the typical orange spot of this species.

Ctenochaetus Strigosus, a tireless devourer of algae and biofilm.

Finally, the three grazers in action:

As you can see, algaes sand and patches diatom in rock have almost disappeared ... my last values of nutrients are nitrates 1ppm and phosphates undetectable by the test.

you have a really good outcome of the quality with the pictures, How do you set your White-Balance? I do have a hard time setting it up because it always turns out more blue then white.

Thanks, no rush to see him grow up, I want to enjoy every stages

Love the small naso

I am delighted with the three surgeons, they are very peaceful, but naso is my weakness also.

you have a really good outcome of the quality with the pictures, How do you set your White-Balance? I do have a hard time setting it up because it always turns out more blue then white.

First I adjusted the white balance manually on the camera (you must do this default with a white object illuminated under the lights of the aquarium setting, you can be a paper or even sand aquarium) ... with this you managed your photos do not resulting as blue, then once made the photo, finished adjusting the balance (if necessary) with a photo editing software (Aperture) to give it a more realistic tone as possible.
