This is what you see looking through the left side of the tank....:fish2:

Filtration: I have one sump directly under the aquarium and a bigger sump beneath the house.
In the sump under the aquarium are live rocks and carbon/phosfat filter.:uhoh2:

This is the sump beneath the house in wich my skimmer: Bubble Magus 250S is installed. Beside the sump you can see the cooler: Aqua Medic Titan 1500.:eek1:

My main pump: Aqua Medic Ocean runner 6500.:spin1:

In the sump are also installed: N/P bio pelletreactor and UV ster.:bounce1:

Wow, you have a very clean build! What kind of Acropora is this one? Granulosa? Also loved the yellow deepwater Acro on post number 3.

Awesome Pics. Care to share additives/food you dose for your awesome coral color. Also tank #s...Alk, Ca, Mg, ....

I use the Balling method to maintain the Alk, Ca and Mg up to 8,5 - 430 - 1450.
Whithin this method trace elements such as iodine, strontium,borium and more are used.
It's a simple method in wich you give what your corals are asking, no more, no less.

awesome tank! how do you keep your rear glass so clean?

 

[zaheda]

Thats one amazing tank you have going there.

 

[Nightwish]

Thanks, it's not that simple to clean the rear glass: I do it once a week, first using filter wool to get rid of the algea and then I use a piece of plexi glass for the finishing touch.
But when the corals grow bigger it will become more difficult to reach all places.
