My 50 gallon tank

[fecgoh]

This tank have been setup since Dec 2000.

It's a 50 gallon conected to a 15 gallon refugium and a 7 gallon Dual surge device. Water is feed by a 2400 l/h Eheim 2060 to a Weipro 2014 and the dual surge device. A smaller Eheim pump feed a Teco chiller. There is also a 2000 l/h powerhead in the main tank.

Lighting is one 150 watt 20,000k BLV MH. Another 150 watt 10,000k BLV will be added soon.

KH is 8 and Ca is 380-400. No2, No3 and etc is 0 since 2 1/2 years ago.

This tank use to be a LPS tank but now it is slowly turning into a SPS tank. The LPS grows too fast for this tank size.

Any constructive comments are welcome.

Any close-up pics for the corals?

[fecgoh]

Seriatopora hystrix or commonly called Bird's Nest Coral. A very fast grower. There use to live a crab there and it was eating the coral around the bottom branch. It was since killed by me

Yeah I got the Elegance coral 3 years ago. It is bright green with blue tip. The pictures are blur cause I am blur when it comes to cameras.

My refugium, There is a clam shell there. The clam was kill by 2 cleaner shirmp when it spawn. So sad

[fecgoh]

This is my clam shot from the top of the tank. Water movement makes it hard to get a good shot.

This is my DIY dual surge device and my Weipro 2014 skimmer on top of my refugium.

FRANKIE,you really gila about sps now ahhhhh.

Hai Juan!!! So long I did not hear from you!

There have been changes to my tank since the last time you saw it. I have also manage to silent the surge device and also now there is no more bubbles. And of course you now also notice the SPS.

It is hard in Malaysia to find a nice colour acropora. Most are brown. The nice coloured ones the LFS will always put in their show tank. And they wont sell those. Not even when I tried to "push" them with more $$$. I manage to get a LFS to keep an eye out for me. There is a nice Blue acropora in Batu Karang few weeks back but that one have RTN at the lower branch. Not something I wanna add to my tank.

The good thing is I have a few acroporas coloured up within a few weeks in my tank.

Juan, do keep an eye out for me will you? Call me if you see any nice acropora!!! Thanks!
