Any updates? This take is awesome and pictures would be great. So I can feel bad about myself.

I have 1000kg of Sand in the store. Until now I didn't introduce it. If everything runs well I will do.

Incredible! corals filling in quick. How many fish are in there now? Planning on any large shoals?

Hi, I don't now how many fish. I introduce 70 fish, 50 Anthias, few weeks ago. Maybe 150 now. I plan more Anthias and more springeri damsels. Few bigger fish also like 2 morish Idols, may be 2 blue pointed rays, may be a few Genicanthus.

Thank you, but I build it DIY. Corals I grow by myself. I buy everything at wholesaler or directly at the producer so it is by far not so expensive how everbody expected. I am not Andrew of course. Also it is very important for me that I didn't need much time to maintance the tank. I dont use phosphate or nitrite absorber or corbon. Just fleece filter and skimmer nothing else. Also I use Balling System to rrduce costs and and maintance because I had to much work with the Kalk reactor.

First, gorgeous aquarium!

But my concern, if there is coralline and bacteria on the bare bottom - will you have to remove them first or just bury everything?

Thank you so much

I don't now. I would bury everything in my opinion. Don't believe that I get any issues because of that. But in a few days Jörg Kokott, the owner of sangokai, will visit me. He is one of the leading professionals in the German saltwater scene. Is is an biologican. I will ask hin
