The Austrian Dropoff Tank

[Janci]

I dig the version 2.0
Cleaner look, probably better flow (i see the 2 gyres now next to each other instead of the vortechs)
Will you continue with the AF products?

The new scape looks amazing! I hope the corals adjust to the restset easily and all goes to plan for you.

thank you very much! hope so too

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

oh wow... yes all RRR and that is exactly why i am taking so time to get the tank really starting...
after what time did that problem happen?

thanks!!
yes i will continue AF, worked fine for me and has nothing to do with the fact that i am restarting...
using Chemiclean got the problems all starting in my tank... don´t know about others but for me it was the beginning of the end...

Cheers

I also have the sama issue with my shallow part of the tank. had lots of diatoms and bubble algae on the shallow area but it's now under control, my zebrasoma and trochus are doing great job so far. but I really dig ur new scape!! having itch now to remove my sand

my Zebrasoma had no interest in those algae... but the old scape had some flaws and i think i got rid of those with the new scape!

This is the best drop off tank I have ever seen. Is there any future updates for this tank coming out. I did have one question if you don't mind answering. I would really love to know how much the tank and the stand cost (not together but separate if possible)?

 

[s2nhle]

Awesome. thank you for sharing.
