    It's a nice clam. The color is not optimal atm.
    I need more light to make it shine



    No more space to grow

    Ahoi ^^


    Danke schön für die Stellungnahme.


    Wie wird denn das einzigartige Wachstum unter T5 und ebenso unter LED begünstigt ?
    Gibt es in der Hinsicht Erkenntnisse bzw Unterschiede ?

    I will always advice to place at least a few T5 tubes when you want branched SPS and acropora's to perform their best in growth and coloring.


    Hybrid is the best solution for SPS.

    Ahoi :D


    Since readin from Page 1 – 18 , your Coralls grow faster than in the natural habitat. :whistling:
    Makes me thinking ...

    I would not believe it myself if i did not experience this myself.


    So i share all my thoughts and pictures in real time with you guys.
    So there is no a doubt this is just a true fact.


    Beside that these picture are just to awesome to keep just for myself. So i also share my joy and excitement.

    It looks amazing! Do you have any problems with those big SPS shading any other corals at the bottom of the tank? And how do you deal with that? Just by cutting back the SPS?
    Cheers,

    Growth and Big colony's become a problem in time. It's a.luxury problem that can turn into a real.problem.
    You get light and flow limitation, if you don't act in time you can lose complete colony's of corals.


    For this reason i prune the corals before they become a real problem and i even do a complete rescape once a year

    I Made some pictures while the lightfixture had to be removed for maintenance.
    The EZ550reef has grown into a full reef again since the last rescape.
    The new species that apparently would be "hard-to-keep corals" are also doing very well.
    The system is so stable that the last measurement I took was already 2 months ago.
    As an experienced aquarist you learn to recognize signals and you can sometimes sit back and enjoy cruising along, but you must always be aware that it does not turn into overconfidence or neglect.


    This aquarium has been running without regular water changes since 2015. There was a time when it was thought impossible to do so. Nowadays it is generally accepted that we can do just fine without it . More and more manufacturers are now using it as an argument to promote a product. Waterchanges are great for emergency interventions. They are not ecological and if you have things well managed certainly not necessary as a regular maintenance method.
