I am actually just downsizing tanks and I'll keep most of the corals you see in there.

It's my girlfriend. She does mostly wedding and event photography. She hasn't done aquarium photos before but interested in adding to her portfolio.

Ive got a 15 and a 50 and combined they don't even come close to looking that good . Sucks you have to downgrade , but you should be able to whip up something really spectacular with that kind of selection of corals .

The new tank is a Solana. I'll do my best to create a better set up with most of the corals from the 50 gallon. This time the lighting is going to be T5's instead of MH. Hopefully the growth will be the same as it is now.

Your work of art!
 
I've seen many aquariums in my time. And that aquarium is a work of art from the heart. Just a couple of questions. Are you using any chemicals / additives,
each week , how often are your water chances and what filter system are you using ? All I say is WOW.

Great work !!!

Doug

No, I don't use any chemicals or additives and water changes are done every couple of months. I guess the main filter system for this set up is the live rock and I also use an AC100 that's turned into a refugium.

I should mention that when this tank was first set up water changes were done weekly. However, as the tank got more established the frequency of water changes decreased. This is a very low maintenance system and I really don't do much other than cleaning the glass and feeding the fish.

Cheers

Really beautifull. How about a fuge shot ? No phosphate issues ? Did you have the normal cleanup crew ?
