Whats up Viet! Seen this tank in person. It is amazing. All the colors just pop. That garf in the middle wins! So nice I want a piece. lol =)

What type of rock (circular rock?) do you have the orange passion on? Seems you have several in your rock work.

Thanks bro. About to ask you how are the frags doing?
These are Marinepure bio-rock sphere shape. I think they are very good to mount frags if you want to move them later.

Did you cut the Marinepure spheres in half to use as frag mounts? Very clever

I didn't cut them. But you can cut/shave them into shape very easy depend on the position where you want to mount them. They can look ugly first but it will look more natural when the frags encrust and coralline algae covered

All the frags are doing great and starting to encrust. The only one that didn't make it was the one you gave me. But all in all, the colors are holding up so far in my system.

Ahh...never thought that would of been a marine pure sphere. I have some in my sump and I actually have spot that I want to try that out. thanks bud!

Haha, thanks man. If you notice, I can't get a correct focus on single polyps which I wish if I had a Micro lens I could. [emoji17]
Another thing is, I took those pic with the oval viewer, one hand hold the viewer, other hand hold the camera. You can imagine that it really hard to focus with one hand. I fixed that by took a lot of pictures instead. Every good focus pictures I got, I deleted like 10~15 bad one.
However, I just order a porthole from Avast marine. Let see how different it will make. I will update when it arrive next week.[emoji39][emoji39][emoji39]

Your corals are amazing. Love the colors. I have to find plans for a hanging canopy like yours to have led/t5 lighting.

All the pictures are posted on my Flickr account (Việt Trương).
You can view them on Flickr's website. They also list details about what type of camera and which lens was used to take them.

Everything comes with practice!

I'm a big believer in refugium and bacteria exporting methods.
I don't have any reactor (no pellet, no gfo).
My system relied on these 3:
- big skimmer
- refugium
- marinepure blocks and spheres

This is what I pull out of my refugium every 3 weeks:
