Hi Roberto would love an update, I have subscribed to your YT channel... but I don’t know Brazilian Portuguese!

Awesome setup!
I love the simplicity of it.
I have a very simple setup too.
Locals are waiting for system to crash so not many reef friends per say because I dont follow the norm.
Only 2 water changes in 15 months.
My 120, carx for ca and alk only. Dose trace daily.
Properly sized skimmer, bare bottom.
Small carbon reactor running rox0.8.
3 liters of eheim substrate pro in a bag and thats it.
Was 8 T5 now 2-250 watt MK 14k.
Alk 7-7.5
Po4 0-.04
No3 < 5
Except for higher alk, I lowered it, my system has been at these levels since startup.
4 powerheads for great flow.

How do you keep coralline at bay? I have 2 urchins and without them my tank would be purple, lol.
I used 50% live rock.

As everyone says - beautiful SPS Roberto! Just wondering how did you determine your LED settings? Did you use intuition or did you follow someone else?

I´m following my par meter :-)

All blues here : 45%, white : 20% and UV 90%. Green and Red = 0

I´m getting 400 on the top and 200 in the bottom.

Best Regards

Outstanding work!
Quite elegant Roberto :)

Amazing reef!!

 

[Reef and Dive]

This is one of the most respectful reefers in Brazil! Done so many amazing tanks with meticulous care and this one is no exception for sure!

Just another of his brilliant tanks that surely deserved this special spotlight! Congrats my friend!

Truly special coral keeper featured here! Your tanks have always been unique and special. Well done again!

some with calcium reactor, some with balling, some with biocalcium only, some with kalkwasser

For me this is the answer. Thank you Roberto.

Hi Guys,

After five years of keeping a Fish Only, I just started a new SPS tank.

This tank has 50 days and I´m keeping my alk and ca just with kalkwasser. In 2 or 3 months I think I will start with balling ( tropic Marin ) plus kalk

My setup is :

2x Hydra 52
1x Hydra 26 HD
2x T5 Blue Plus
2x T5 Coral Plus

Nero5 , Mp40 and Gyre

Viper 3.0

Skimmer octopus 1000

Apex controller and I´m dosing kalk with kamoer.

No3 = 0 ( salifert )
Po4 = 0,03ppm ( Hanna )
Alk = 7,5 ( Hanna )

This is the last video that I did for my youtube channel and I show my sump in this video :




Best Regards

Looks great.

Very nice sir. What are the tank dimensions?

 

[Tom Giddens]

I know that some people are in trouble with dinos, but this is new to me. I always keep my no3 and po4 to the low side and never had any kind of issue ( 20 years )

Cheers

Do you use RO/DI?

 

[Tom Giddens]

Thanks Roberto. I just ordered some matrix.

How is the matrix working for you?
