hi my friends ... just pass to wish you a happy new year full of corals ....

here you have the first shots of 2017 , tank is running fine , just the N03 drop a litle , because of the add of 40% more rock i did in the last month ... now no3 are really low and because of the unbalance of redfield ratio the cyanos apear, and i stop feed corals with products , but soon i think the stability come again and cyanos go fast and i will start the dosings again ... here some shots and a vide of my love achiles eating ... 2 weeks and the fish is reaaly amazing , the yellow thankg back from sump to the same tank and 0 problems with achiles ... in the next 1 or 2 weeks come the worst part .. the sohal , now is on sump but soon i have to put them with achiles ... letts se what happen .... so .. lets stop talking and some pictures ...

Hi all ...

thanks ledeiro Gomes ...
thanks Chrisfish ...

some friends here in portugal tell me that the problem of my tank is the light ... 8 t5 bulbs for 1 mt is short .. i never believe but just in case i buy another 8x80w and do the test and in one week my corals are amazing , the colors improve a lot , and i see the healty of corals even better ... today i think all my friends are right and i try to keep my corals under candle light ...
so i give a little update here with the new light , ATI sunpower 16x80w ... hope you like ...

Testing

Perfectly. I think that with the new light coral growth and color is much better and will be more cool.
Which set of lamps now?
