Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Try to make different species of corals coexist together, in order to create a coral garden.
Wow, you have an incredible-looking reef tank! What are you dosing in your tank to keep up with your corals nutrient demands?

Hi, thanks. I rely a lot on the amount of nutrients (nitrate and phosphate). However, as a coral feed, I use it a couple of times a week SPS EVO EASYREEF.
 
Absolutely stunning reef!!
