i love the light, though it has to run for some time to see what color the bulbs really make!

Now it´s time for your input! ;)

thanks Hesham.
if have access to the tank from both of the long sides. i can simply remove the boards and work under it.
the Lumenbright are about 30cm =>11.8 inch above the surface. enough space to work under it! ;)

Hi!
Your setup is very impressive and promising. I totally agree with your choices regarding the tank dimensions, the ATB skimmer and the Lumenarc pendants! And the aquascape is very nice!

You have some very beautiful animals in there and the photos are stunning!

By the way what camera do you use? Are those corals & fish bought from an Austrian LFS or from abroad?

If you would like to take my advice, I'd like to suggest you not to add any more animals for a while, because it's a fresh tank, so don't push your luck if I may say so.
And maybe an irrelevant information: If you plan to add clams in the future, take into consideration that the copperband may cause a real wipe out. Not every fish is the same, but mine killed 8 clams in one afternoon, so I wouldn't trust a CBB again.

Best wishes from Greece and keep reefing!
 
Hy kamberman!

to hear that from someone with such a beautiful tank is really cool!
thanks a lot.

I´m using the Canon Eos 400D
Most of my stock is from Austrian LFS. But there are also some things from Germany.

If you would like to take my advice, I'd like to suggest you not to add any more animals for a while, because it's a fresh tank, so don't push your luck if I may say so.

jeah, you are wright. I really don´t plan to add any more animals for some time.
And about the claims:
i really noticed that my copperband likes them. there are always some new conches lying around! :D

Thanks Ed!

who should i explain that in english??

my dad is a hobby carpenter and when we build the stand for the tank we made some slots in the board.
and now we made the same slots in the new borads and with some kind of wood pegs (we call them Fischln) we glued the whole thing together. We also used some extra strong glue to fix the whole thing!

i hope u can understand what i mean! :D:D

I relly like the light from the Reeflux, but i hope they will get a little pit whiter! ;)
