Congratulations Menard !!!
Congratulations Menard !!!
I just have to say wow what a great Tank and something for all of us to aspire to! I am just so impressed with how close the corals are and not seeing any signs of them fighting ( Stinging) each other. I really like the Oceanic Tank.
Could you Please post some pictures of your plenum I think this is some thing we need to refocus on with our tanks for additonal filtration.
Congratulations again what a perfect Tank...Jeff

Re: Congratulations Menard !!!
I am glad to see someone else has made this observation.
It seems whenever I have had 2 corals too close to one another, that one has always attacked the other, while his seem to just grow together. That is really interesting.
Great photos Menard!

Melev................Thanks again bud!........I wish I had the photography skills U have and the camera U using......the pictures U shared w/ us in the past is just perfect, its so clean and crisp, awesome!
THE APPRENTICE........Thanks a lot !!. A lot of this corals in the tank are 10 to 8 yrs old. Transfered from my old 125 and also they start as sm. frags, so when they finally took off, they would burn one another but in few weeks they manage to grow side to side like the kindda scene U see in the wild.
Sorry I can no longer take photo of the plenum, Its burried under the sand. All that is a .5" void space sorta like UF w/ no riser. Instead of UG plate I used plastic light difflector shield also known as eggcreate.
cbonito................Thank U man !.........U see if U grow your corals from a frag they will learn to live together as they grow w/o any serious problem. Just my observation.

Thanks for the Reply Menard from what I understand On your plenum Is it layed down under your entire Tank or do you have this in a Raceway?
That is quite Impressive about the corals being able to grow side to side like this. And to top it Off you not using Carbon..
So much more for me to learn
Thanks again...Jeff

Awesome tank! I am impressed!
I have a question about your phosphate maintenance:
How often do you measure phosphate levels and what test do you use to get acuracy readings in so extremely low range as 0.01 ppm ?
Could you share some more details about your water test equipment beside the phosphates, too ?
Also, with not using activated carbon, how do you keep the water so transparent without any hint of yellowish tint ?
Thanks!
