Are the plugs moveable, or mounted permanently? That is an interesting approach.

 

[Wrangy]

Just stunning :inlove:

Are you running any particular dosing system??

 

[mike810]

Frags in the US cost hundreds of dollars. I wonder how much those colonies are being sold for?

Beautiful tank BTW.

 

[cFloor]

Incredible reed!

all corals are moveable jda, allows to find the right spots for each one of it and it makes a lot easier to make frags...

You mean ZEOvit or AF or etc Wrangy ? No

Frags in the US cost hundreds of dollars. I wonder how much those colonies are being sold for?

Beautiful tank BTW.

Unfortunately everything down here is expensive mike810, and corals are not an exception...



Thanks everyone !

 

[mike810]

Beautiful!

What is your filtration setup like?

Are you running any type of reef program like zeovit, aqua forest or fauna marin, etc etc ?

Thank you!

 

[awaxdee]

Nice

 

[watchguy123]

Filtration and "program" mike810...

- 2 Skimmers
- Activated Carbon in Reactor... bi-weekly changes
- Carbon Dosing... during the day
- Ozone... during the night
- Water Change... bi-weekly 10%
- Nitrifying and Denitrifying Bacteria... alternating weekly

 

[jda]

I love the deepwaters. Nice to see them still doing well in South America. They are going away here in the US with all of the LED tanks. Well done.

 

[Zweebe]

Really Nice colors Ricardo!

What type or carbon and bacteria are you dosing? Don't you have problems with bacteria dosing and ozone using at the same time?

 

[MMOORE0324]

Absolutely gorgeous. Subscribed!

Nopox, Biodigest and Special Blend... the ozone dosing is very little Zweebe
