That’s an interesting overflow box
Who made your tank?
Can’t wait to see this grow out

I'm liking the coral colors. It's also nice to see tank pictures where you can actually tell what you're looking at and not the blue/purple pictures where all you see is something neon, but have no idea what it is. Looking forward to watching the grow out.

Hi Roberto,
In the pictures, does not appear you have many fish, are you supplementing or are fish camera shy?

Polyps are very present, despite what appears to be low nutrients/bioload. Beautiful scape, love your technique.
Cheers

Hi guys

I´m using 2x Old Hydras and 1x new Hydra 26 HD. I prefer the old one, much better color blend than the new HD

90% blue/violet
65% white
100% UV
20% red
0% green

I have 7 fish, they was camera shy at the moment I was taking the pics

Some close pics with more white light to see the real coral color

What are your nutrient export methods Roberto? How do you prevent Dino’s and the early ugly algae phase?

I use skimmer and gfo as usual.

Algae and dinos don't appear in my tank and I wouldn't have an objective answer to give you why they don't show up here. But in 20 years I never had any kind of problem with dinos or algae.

I started this tank with a big chaeto refugium but after 40 days I took out the chaeto because they start to die. But since them I´m using just skimmer , GFO and zeomix from aquaforest.

Just to remember that I added fish in this tank with 10 days, corals with 20 days and the tank has now 70 days old

Best Regards
