I'm new here and I like to show you my shallow reef from Finland. Dimensions are 66,9*43,3*25,6 and about 265 gallon (170*110*55 cm and 1002 liters). It only 11 month old, so everything is just falling in to places.

It's almost done, except the closed loop piping and cabinet. So those streams will be gone in the future.

Thank You :) I'm going to get 3 friends to my Amphiprion Oceallaris on next week and hopefully they move to that entacmaea quadricolor. There are two quadricolors in that tank but other is green with the purple tips. Clownfishes are tank bred so they got no idea what the anemone is.

Awesome! Beautiful reef. Looks like you're using AI Hydra 52's. Have you been using them from the start and would you be willing to share your settings?

Awesome tank!

I tried putting a school of those chromis "10" in my tank and 1 would disappear every night. I ended up with only 4 out of the 10... :/

Yes from the beginning. I have 3 AI hydra's and the director module. Here is the settings, but it's hard to see what color is what. Two on the top are the blue lights and third line is the cool white. Rest of them are on the bottom.

I had 15 cromis, but one of them jump on the floor 3 months ago. Thet are awesome fishes :)

I bought some new fishes. Couple of Amphiprion ocellaris, couple of Amphiprion "sunset" ocellaris and two Gobiodon histrio. Let's see which couple finds the Entacmaea quadricolor first. There is two anemones waiting for them.

G. histrio can change sex in either direction. When a pair of gobies of the same sex colonize a new coral patch, one of them changes to the opposite sex.

love your tank! how do you like the mimic lemon peel? i'm thinking of getting one.
I really like my Acanthurus Pyroferus. He/She is a king of the tank and keeps all the other tangs discipline. The colors are incredible and when it gets older it changes the colors to browner tone. Sometimes it like to pick one of my green acropora, but you have to eat, if youre hungry :p I'm sure, that it thinks that those long and green polyps are some sort of algae.

The tale of this reef has come to the end. Had a little a accident and I have to get a new aquarium. Well **** happens and the story continues with the bigger and better one ;) The aquarium does not leak, but there is serious risk for that it will starting to leak...
