Urs is my favorite tank as well. I tell people about it. So I just book marked it so they can see it in a second. Cyano sucks!!!

Hey guys!

maybe you have been wondering what happend to me...
after a lot of problems with the tank and the water parameters and the loss of my beloved leucosternon i decided to give the tank a fresh start. the pests where taking controll and the buble alge took over most of the shallow area.
so on 26th of November i tore apart the whole tank got rid of all the old stones and but all the corals in a quarantine tank and the fish in a large bucket.

and so here is the new Austrian Dropoff Tank 2.0.










upgraded my returnpump to a Vectra L1 cleaned all the old equipment and reorganiced the whole sump area.
new scape was made completley with RealReefRocks. build two other tanks with those and i really love it.
after a few days with bacterial bloom now the water is clear and the fish and corals are going to move back in on the weekend.

so tell me what you think of the new scape

Cheers,

Is that real reef rock? If it is and it has not been cycled please watch your PH, mine dropped from 8.3 to 7.7 and i pretty much lost all my SPS after adding some. Just a heads up :)
