Puppy's setup

One day .... 1st need to steel a Calcium reactor ... LOL
Do u go to Aqua Concepts in town ?
 
U dont need i for a couple of frags .Only if u plan to go overboard.
Shop in town yeah sometimes i end up there.
Rather invest in a good skimmer .

Puppy, my experience with SPS has been a difficult one (dead bird's nest and montipora etc.) and I think a lot of others have had similar experiences.

We would really enjoy a thread from you on how you get these beautiful corals to thrive :biggrin:

I second this motion ...
 
I am sure there is lots of reasons for your losses .
What i do agree on is that they are not the easiets corals to keep.
But if u have the right conditions u will be rewarded.
By no means am I and expert .
Just the other day i lost a huge bird's nest myself.
I know the reason why this happend but it was 2 late to even save a frag.


A thread on how to keep these corals and to make them thrive is a awesome idea,but I think it should be a collaboration from all the sps keepers who are having good success keeping these species .

So when you starting :whistling:
 
Not a bad tank, I can see lots of room for improvement, perhaps if you put a little more effort into your tank you might accomplish fairly average results.









:lol: Just kidding Puppy :lol: A really incredible tank, definitely something to be proud of, definitely in a league of it's own, congratulations on what you have accomplished so far.:thumbup:

Hope you don't mind but I lightened up your sump pic a bit so we could see what is going on in there ;)

LOL nice 1
No problem Viper357 it actually looks much better.
There is always room for improvement and new idea's is always welcome.
This is a old pic of my sump .I can tell u guys that a new pic wont make a difference at all .Most of the compartments is covered in coralline algae making it difficult to see
the sandbed etc.
Tank specs to follow.
