NOY's 110g mixed reef

[noy]

Shoot perpendicular to the glass and use a macro lense - this eliminates any distortion.

As for the Sun Corals - i have a routine where I feed with blood worms and brine alternatively. I wait until the main lights go out (which is 10pm for me) and feed. The fish will leave the food alone that way (asleep or in their little caves). I use "julian's thing" for the brine and a small turkey baster for the blood worms. I direct food into the heads. The Tubastrea don't need a lot of precision in feeding but with the dendro you do need to make sure the each head gets fed. Right now i feed every other day.

When you get them I would really recommend a daily feeding regiment because they are usually in bad shape at the LFS.

Otherwise they are pretty easy to keep and very forgiving as far as water parameters.

Awesome pictures! How do you adjust the white balance? looks great
the dendros prefer being on the bottom of the tank more?

My camera has a WB setting for 7K (shade) and I generally shoot without any room lighting.
I try to give some shade to the dendros from other corals but they are still fairly high on the tank.

Great looking FTS Noy!

I see you are running one of the Sicce voyageur pumps for circulation. How do you like it? Is it comparable to a tunze of simlar size or noiser with less flow? I was thinking about picking up a few of them to add some addtional flow where the vortechs can't get to in my system but I haven't heard much in terms of reviews.
