Yeah, the Duncans are light purple/green.

@Lorenzo, The Rics are one of my fav corals. I think that's obvious :-)

Great looking tank. The ricordea garden is gorgeous and those anemones are just wild!! Love it!

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 ?

Thanks, it's my little aquatic garden and I really enjoy doing the maintenance required to keep it looking great. This tank never gets neglected and I do my best to provide the best home possible for the corals and fish.

The refugium is nothing special. It's just an AquaClear 110 filter turned into a refugium. All I have in there is some cheato that gets pruned when needed and believe or not it does not even grow that fast. I'll try to take a pic when I get a chance.
