The Iwagumi Reef

[yano]

I would like to know why you dose Fe?

Thanks

In aquariums with very low nutrientes and pale colors, add iron is good for zooxanthellas and coral health...only in this tanks and without algae problems. I dose Fe in low doses (less is more if you can not measure)

Beautiful tank. Maybe you mentioned it, but how deep is your sand bed?

Thanks, is very fine....less than an inch: 1/2-2/3 inch aprox.

What for sand did you use? Did you use live rock and live sand

CaribSea Bahamas Oolite.
Live rock, with any piece of dead rock (more of 5 years in the tank).

Well, after nearly six years of development of this project, I must tell you that something new comes .... soon the Iwagumi reef will be dismantled and I will start a new project maintaining the same tank and equipment.
I want to thank all of you who have followed the evolution of Iwagumi Reef over the years and invite you to follow the new project ... I will open a new post.

If you are keeping the same tank and equipment, then why are you restarting? If it to keep difference corals? Completely different scape?

One thing for sure: I will miss Iwagumi Reef. :beer:
