Side View. Wish I have a bigger tank to begin with.

Hope tt I can inspired more to take up a mixed Sps/Lps, hard/soft corals, with plentiful fishes swimming in a 2.5 ft deep tank.

A deep tank enables you to plant different corals down the depth as opposed to the newly favourite shallow tank.

Cheers,

Deep tank = skilled reefer with deeper pockets. Hehe! Need more flow, need strong lights, need long hands......but you get more water volume, more space to plant your corals.

Mike, love your sps deep colours looks as compare to some lower nutrients pale sps looks. Is it true that "higher nutrients" tank sps have deeper colours? How often, how much do you feed your fishes?

Set the records straight.

Deep tank and deep pockets are not related. Not long hands but higher stool certainly helps.

More flow, definitely yes. I use 3mp40 + 2 smaller tunze.

Try to leave the a big portion at the bottom free, only white sand, for the fishes to swim freely. A joy to watch.

IMHO, a ulns will deliberately deprived the Sps of food. Then you feed them with specially prepared nutrients to get the colors. In short, the colors are mot their colors but obtained by chemicals fed.

A natural system with low nutrient allows the Sps to display its natural colors according to its genes.

A natural system takes time to get it right. Maybe 2 years before one see success.

I have DSB sump and have 2" sand bed on the main. I just love it to be more natural looking.

Different soup from different cook.

My deep pockets meaning electricity consumption due to light & flow.

Agreed with you, natural system definitely look more attractive. Anyway to speed up the time with help from technology?

My previously discarded and left at a corner Monti has blossomed into a radiant purple beauty.

<br /><br />Thanks Kenny. Kenny is the reefer who often tips me of incoming exotic sps shipt. He is also the gentleman who scouted the 500 Efflo for me. I am lucky to have a neighboring western side reefer like Kenny.<br />Cheers<br />Mike.
