Would love to hear your thoughts and comments. This Is how we all can reach our ultimate goals in Reefing. Some first hand informations.

 

[jroovers]

Good idea... maybe to start, share an overview of your system? You've obviously hit the sweet spot SPS wise

Great looking tank. Bet its been a world of knowledge gained over the last 7 years.
Keep the pics coming and possibly an equipment setup pic as I always love those too.

 

[yveterinarian]

Absolutely fabulous!

 

[jroovers]

The coral pics are impressive enough... BUT... you say you've done all this without dosing pumps or ATO, and while growing these sticks under LEDS?!?!?

That's impressive

I like how you noted you don't test for phosphates or nitrates... I'm guessing you just know by observation whether or not you are striking the right nutrient balance?

 

[EricTMah]

Let me know when you're ready to frag some of these beauties

[reefgeek]

well done, super well done considering you have gotten that far with no controller, dosing pump or ATO...

 

[curiousphil]

AWESOME!! Very impressive that you have grown these huge colonies without a doser or CaRx, and all under LED

Thank you all for the kind words. I have been doing everything manually since day one. Believe it or not I just purchased whole bunch of stuffs from Derek aka spyd. I'm such a noob when it come to new technology.Big thx to Derek for spending some time labeling everything for me. Some pic of the items.

I have learned quite a bit in the last seven years. Spend lot of time reading other reefers success and horror story. Some here and lot on RC reefcentral. I was fortunate enough to see one of the best SPS tank in Canada but For me it's one of the top 10 in the world. It give me lot of inspiration and I envy it. until this day I haven't yet seen another tank that look close to that. My most inspiration of all time.
