[FuEl]

Finally the photos that he has been holding back the past few months. He must have been waiting for everything to be perfect.

[Chris]

Great Job Dan.

What's keeping your Ca up for these babes?

[scarab]

Finally you are posting your tank pix huh? Been waiting for a long time bro.

Absolutely gorgeous piece of work. The T5s really bring out a different dimension in the SPS colouration. Testament to your dedication towards your reef.

Keep us posted with more pix ok?

[Jun Hong]

Hope there is a OPEN HOUSE one day for us to view your beautiful tank

[surfedelic]

Cool Daniel !

Any chance to zoom into the details ? I believe there are many gems out there

I have a question on your blue acro - Is the growth very slow ?

Here's a brief description of my setup...

Sitting in the corner of my living room, where my 30g used to sit, and 10g nano before that, is my 100gallon (48"Lx24"Wx22"H) tank w/ ultra-clear starphire glass viewing panels. 8x 54w ATI T5s provide ample illumination for my light loving corals and clams (T5s: 6 white & 2 blue, no actinics).

Biological filteration is provided by the 4" DSB plus over 60kg of quality LR. A 32" tall beckett skimmer powered by an MD55 and a fluidised reactor (w/ Rowa/Contraphos media) keeps the water crystal clear. I dose aminos, iodine and trace elements; and feed the fish twice a week with nori and marine flake. 100% DI water is used for top-up and water changes. A 1/3hp Daeil chiller keeps the temperature fairly constant, between 27.5-28.3C. A RM dual-chamber CR keeps the stony corals happy.

Eheim 1262 serves as the main return and 1260 the secondary thru the chiller. Tunze 6000 (x2) w/ multicontroller and a Maxijet generate the required flow and circulation for the small polyp stony corals.

As for fish, most are algae eating, which explains the minimal feeding. My 2 small tangs and 4 pygmy angels happily graze on the 60kg of quality LR throughout the day. I feed the fish every few days to ensure a more balanced diet and to keep my 2 chromis and 3 dottybacks happy as well. The mandarin stays fat with the abundant life on the LR.

My fishes:

purple tang

kole tang

cherub angel

potters angel

flame angel

multicolour angel

orchid dottyback (x3)

green chromis (x2)

yellow canary wrasse

mandarin goby

Hi,

you mention about aminos acid..

thanx

[piglet]

Wow .. T5 ho !!! Hmm, you give me a lot of encouragement >> for me to use 8xt5ho for my tank too.

Thanks for sharing your spec to us. SPS master. !!

more pictures !!! please

[Dispar_Anthias]

Woah its amazing... the most striking thing in your tank is definately that unidentify blue acro..... hmm surprise that all 4 of yuor dwarf co- exist

[LinkinPark]

the centrepiece... an "unidentified" blue acro

the blue is NEON BLUE. eye catching

Awesome tank. Beside T5, I believe Dan must have put tremendous effort into maintaining great water quality for his sps. Look at his water top up, skimmer etc.
