The Iwagumi Reef

[Reeferhead]

Absolutely amazing tank! A real inspiration :thumbsup:

How do you keep that fine sand in place and still have enough flow for your SPS? I have a similar setup with two vortechs on the back. I replaced my find sand with some that was coarser because it kept pushing away from the front glass. Plus, I couldn't vacuum it.

Thanks, you should try different heights and pump power to find the exact.

One of the best reefs in Spain, and it´s not too old so, I followed this reef since the beginning, and it´s impressive how everything in perfectly planed. It´s been my inspiration for building mine, it´s a pleasure having yano as a helping hand, hes always there for hooking you up. I think reefing magazines need people like him, no words to explain all the knowlege he has. Thank you for doing what you do and specially for shareing it with us!!! See yaaaa!!!

[DBarsotti]

Moises thank you very much, you know that for me is a pleasure to help in any way I can to people starting in this and in your case I am sure that your tank will not last long in being the inspiration for many fans.

Thanks!
I feed once or twice daily with "Formula Two" pellets for bigger fishes, and "Formula One" flakes slightly crushed for gobies.
Only once a week I offer frozen brine shrimp or ciclops.

is a very interesting fish, no doubt spend considerable time suspended in the water column and is very entertaining to watch as the males establish their territory in small holes in the rock where they try to attract females to spawn.
