Sounds like you feed a lot. What are the nitrate and phosphate levels in this tank?

Wow. Those acros look super nice. Apart from dosing two part what supplements do you dose for the SPS corals to get those sick colours? What are you feeding the fish and corals daily? Would love to see more SPS coral photos.

Bump. Would love to see an update to this thread. The tank is beautiful.

Bump for updated photos.

Would love to see an update please. Thanks.

Wow, cant believe how beautiful the corals look. This is an amazing tank. Cant wait to see few more updates/photos. I have one question, do you run GAC/Carbon in this tank? If so how much? If not, how do you manage to keep the water polished/crystal clear? Many thanks.

Marina, how is the tank doing? How is the phosphate issue? Unless you you do as Der ABT, you will just have to continue to use the GFO. I would probably get high capacity GFO. Unfortunately it does mean weekly changes and the cost issue. I take regular photos of a few selected coral in my tank and noticed that colours worsened at a certain point. I looked back through my logs and discovered that it was right after I added a small selection of rocks to my sump. The other thing I noticed was that I was fighting a long phosphate battle, which I first thought was due to my fish load and feeding. So I was feeding less for many many weeks and the phosphate wouldnt really go down. Like you I was using lots of GFO. A couple of weeks ago I removed these additional rocks from my sump and BAM! My phosphate levels dropped to less than 0.03ppm. I know its not feasible to remove all your rocks, but I think eventually the rocks have to stop leaching. You can buy Lanthanum Chloride and use a 10micron filter sock to treat selected rocks in a vat or something...but its hard work. Your corals still look amazing, and reefkeeping is just like this sometimes...but its worth it. Anyway, I actually came and joined WAMAS because you have an amazing tank and you didnt have a build thread over at Reef Central.

Good to see your are back. Can't wait to see what you do with this tank.
