jervismun Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Revealing the back of house for the first time... the back is basically empty (almost no sand) with only 3 transparent inlet tubes (1 for protein skimmer, 1 for filter & 1 for wavemaker towards the end). It also provides plenty of room for fishes and inverts to hide.

jervismun Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Another view of my tank, showing off its bowfront. Actually, I prefer a simple rectangular shape tank. The curves do distort the view a little (bad for photography) and it's very hard to scrap off the algae on corners.

jervismun Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Was at Kino just now... this book is so inspirational, the author (a Chinese living in California) owns a 700g reef tank (with 300g sump) specializing in keeping SPS and Clams!!! His setup is also very simple and straight-forward... makes it sound so natural and simple Go take a look, I hope it's still unwrapped... lol.

jervismun Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 This is how I feed my Blue Sea Fan A mixture of Marinium Zooplankton + Argent Cyclop-eeze!

Hi Terryz since we're from the same specimen... does your sea fan open larger than mine? If yes, perhaps I still need to improve my conditions. This is the first time I direct feed them. I think it's so much better than dosing the tank from the top.

Terryz_ Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Nope... It is not due to bleaching... I think for Euphyllia species, if bleached they become transparent... Without any color...

jervismun Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 A horrible picture... hehe the honeymoon period for my Protein Skimmer is over... running full force now. The collection cup will become half-full every 2 to 3 days and the skimmate is quite concentrated (compared to last 2 weeks). Must be the increased bioload and feeding of planktons.
