Love your set up

 

[Cardinal3420]

Thank you! Still have a lot of things I want to do too it. I'm thinking about panorama led lights to replace the halide and t5s anyone have those LEDs? Are they good for SPS growth and overall health?

Looks great. Very clean. I like it.

 

[Cardinal3420]

Thank you! I try to keep it clean. I baby the system that's for sure. Lots of time invested but well worth it to see others in awe over it when they come over to my house. I know we all take a lot of pride in each of our unique systems.

Do you use uv on your system

 

[Cardinal3420]

No UV. I do get some algae issues sometimes but I do 20% water changes weekly and try to stay ahead of the issues. In not a huge fan of UV sterilizers because they take out good things also from your system as well. I don't want to take food from my corals or inverts.

Wow from the pics I think you must take a lot of time keeping the glass so clean. I try to but it gets away from me. The back of my tank is all coraline algae as a background.

 

[Cardinal3420]

I clean the glass a lot. This is a fairly new system though. I bought the tank and stand from one guy. Then I bought another persons complete set up, live sand, live rock and about 5 corals. That tank had been up for about 5 years. I experienced a short cycle of about a week or so. But still battle diatom algae but it's minimal. My next project is a refugium with miracle mud, macro and live rock. But all the corals and inhabitants are doing amazing at this time. Lots of work but well worth it!

 

[Kio707]

I envy you...lol... I have the same diatom issue, but its slowly clearing up. But your tank looks awesome...

 

[hackteck]

i like it has a very nice clean look

 

[oO BRIGHTY Oo]

Pure awesomeness!!!! That must have taken so much patience and imagination to produce such a stunning display, I just recently spent hours creating a sturdy landscape and I lost my temper lol!

 

[redsea]

Beautiful coral!

 

[nicolecandy44]

It's beautiful! I love the coral

 

[Cardinal3420]

A few new additions. Copperbanded butterfly, 2 peppermint shrimp. Another Favia coral, devils hand coral, acropora frag, colt coral.

 

[Cardinal3420]

The picture of the Monti cap tell me if you notice a difference from my first pictures to now. I have to get a pic of the acropora also I forgot to take one lol.

 

[Cardinal3420]

New additions today, hairy mushrooms and a blue mushroom. Also after 4.5 hours off acclimating my blue linkia starfish!

 

[carey]

Very nice starfish!! I really want one but I'm too much of a chicken. lol

 

[Cardinal3420]

Lol I admit I was very nervous, I spent an hour at the store looking at him haha! He's about 6 inches across and is very active around the sand bed. It took forever to acclimate, but I wanted everything to be perfect. He's in excellent shape.

 

[Markaveli]

Nice looking tank im jealous lol
