Pak, the sand is brown, is it miracle mud? What kind of sand do you use? I think I can see better of your aquascaping after you turn on your glaring light....hehehe
Btw, keep that baby up and running...

I am using Live Sand that was collected the night before it went into my tank from a shallow offshore reef... it is full of life and i can see in the air pockets etc lots and lots of copepod and other marine life

I am using live sand collected from a shallow offshore reef. lots of marine life in it. A LOT....

Using Matrix and Purigen combined with Properly Cured Live Rock, Live Sand and in my opinion the best value for money skimmer that you can buy is more than enough to deal with the nutrients. i also use Seagel and stability.

There is no need to have Fluidizers and Reactors or other things in your tank...just simple effective filtration is all thats needed.

Thanks.

Already put coral when you cycling? What additives you put in there? Great corals you got there....Btw, is it dead rocks do you use?

No, its live rock that has been cured a long,long time, and the corals help with the cycling. I use H&S coral food, and will start dosing with a number of seachem products in about 2 weeks as cycling completes.

I will get better photos up of the corals soon as my camera for some reason is not picking up on the true colors of the corals.


thanks

why your live rock that cured a long long time not have coraline algae ?

baca section "PURPOSE" di http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_rock

kalau baru dari laut, memng ada coralline banyak, tapi juga banyak sponge dll yg bisa jadi busuk kalau langsung ke aquarium...kalau Live Rock dipilih ,lagi di rawat, dan ada di system yg pake skimmer, filter, chiller, NSW dan dapat berberapa jam cahaya saja...Tentu saja tidak penuh coralline algae....Coralline biasa tumbuh lebih kalau lama2 di aquarium, karena dapat cahaya banya, juga orang buffer KH dan carbonate alkalinity utk coralline sebar ke mana2 dalam waktu......

Live rock punya banyak pori dan micro dan macro-organism yg bisa di sebutkan Biological Filter Alami..... Coralline bukan yg "Live" di judul "Live Rock" biasa kalau masih penuh warna dan sponge, LR itu terlalu fresh dan bisa jadi busukin aquarium. Kita mau apa dengan LR dan Live Sand?? mau fungsi dan gunanya, atau hanya penampilannya.

Chefri sudah lama sekali piara SPS dan tahu coralline tumbah lama2 di system yg dosing high Ca dan KH............orangnya juga bilang ttg coralnya, camera tidak capture true warna coralnya, dan nanti di post lebih...disitu past bisa lihat ada sebagian coralline.
