your tank is WOW.

for tube anemone.

is it a need for a chiller?

Not a must but will open bigger with chiller. One of my friend managed to keep one with no chiller. Its quite easy.

More feeding will help too. :lol:

New SPS addition. :D

Another monti. :D

Teo, your set up also another no expense spared one.

My lightings definately can't support a full sps tank, but a partial one.

All other equipments in place except a calcium reactor, which i am looking for one now.

Monti are really nice, perhaps can drop by ur place to see ur actual set up.

Not adding any rics lately?

Very nice Zoas bro Teo... very nice indeed :)

Is Gonio really that hard to keep? I bought 4 pieces yesterday... hopefully they will all survive :o

Bro Jevis & Gonio keepers, here an abstract from the first edition of reef notes by Julian Sprung on keeping Goniopora.. not meant to be a discouraging statement.. Another pt to note is that this is the 1990 edition and may be outdated as technology in reef equipment had advance at such speed and previously unkeepable species had now strive under captive conditions..

Please don't quote me on anything below as i merely abstract them from the paragraph and something for you guys to think about. Hopefully there will be success in keeping these species...Here the abstract"

"Success with Goniopora had improved over the years but it is still a mysteriously difficult coral. I now believe that trace elements do play an important role in the problem. Also, lighting seems to be another factor, but general statements cannot be made since different species have different requirements. There is also speculation about the importance of amino acids in nutrition"

"When attempting to keep Goniopora there are some additional parameters that should be maintained to achieve best success. Temperature is critical for hard corals; Goniopora likes water currents and should be bathed by a good turbulent flow. Wave surge would be a plus too. Finally, lighting is key to success. Goniopora is a misleading coral because it respond positively to most lighting initially, even to metal halide lights which ultimately burn back its tentacles"

"Goniopora usually grows in large monospecific stands, and the specimens we recieve are often hacked off of a columnar based and therefore be injured. ore importantly, considering their typical isolation in nature, this genus may be sensitive to slime exuded by other coral species. It may be a problem of Goniopora being stung or irritated by other coral in the aquarium even when they do not touch or attack each other"

Main Tank: 5 x 1 x 1

Return from overflow: Eheim compact+ 5000

Lighting: 2x 54W T5

Skimmer: Deltec SC 1350

Chiller: Arctica 1/10

Wave Maker: Tunze Nano Wavebox & Tunze 6055 with Photocell
Monitor 1: American Marine Pinpoint pH monitor
Monitor 2: American Marine Pinpoint Temperature monitor

Thanks Reefzzz

Yes Goniopora is one of the more trickier LPS... a lot of reefers just can't keep them alive for a long period of time. I think this 1990 article is still valid... just to add to that... try to avoid having "annoying" clown fish in the tank as it may disturb the Gonio... resulting of it not opening up well... hence starve to death!

So far... I've got good success rate... but space is definitely a problem right now. Will allocate an exclusive Gonio corner in my new tank :)

Just changed to a bigger CR. This should help solve my KH problem.

The circulation pipe connects to the main chamber from underneith the cylinder. This makes the flow more even and possible to drain the unit completely if needed.

The entire unit is made of clear acrylic.

:lol::lol:

wow!!! nice big CR teo :lol: your CR pump is aquabee 2000/2000I/3000? :P

Wow long time no hear. I am still waiting for you to re-start. :lol:

I believe the pump is 2000I.

According to the LFS, this media will react at pH6.7 or so.

Hope it can help save some CO2.

This unit comes with a union on top for easy media top up. :D
