Your coral selection is awesome! Little of everything and some nice nubby thick acros too! Really looking good, color variety looks great! Nice light and bulb combo too!

Nice update yano. Your tank is really progressing nicely. I'm looking forward to seeing it with a bunch of gobies. It's amazing how clean you are able to keep your sand. nice work!

Can you tell us what is your technics on keeping the sand so clean?

 

[yano]

Can you tell us what is your technics on keeping the sand so clean?

there is no mystery, I just rely on good quality water osmosis (RO unit+ DI postfilter), low biological load and above all a good biological balance of the aquarium .... not just about maintaining low nutrients, but do so without causing any imbalance in the aquarium.
Also I have some beach cleaners, cerith, columbellas and sand dollar but the truth is that they have little to clean.
