hi liquidlogic
the tank is 5x2x2, 2 tunze on controller and a 1262 return. in the 4ft sump i have got an ap702 skimmer and DSB.

as for paras, well, i didnt check it for a while now but last time calcium was 460.

and fire999: yes, the tank is now a year old. but all of the sps are from bio10115 recently.

Thank you for the comments. :-)

very nice tank, thanks for sharing

[mysticwave]

thank you! shame about the quality of my video, must use a proper camera next time! :-)

[goldflake]

Your tank is lovely, what's that pink/red coral on the left hand side?

[Horse29uk]

Can you tell me your tank specs. Do you only have soft corals? and do you feed them?

[mysticwave]

Goldflake: the pink/red coral on the left is a red gonipora. :-)
Horse29uk: the tank is 5x2x2 with a 4ft sump with a DSB and cheato + mangroves. recently upgraded with an ap702 skimmer. I dont actually have much soft corals apart from 2 toadstools, i would say it is 60%lps and 40%sps. I do feed my 2 bubble corals, sun coral, cynaria & acanthestrea with at least 4 cubes of mysis every other day. only feed them when the lights are all out, hence fish gone to bed and wont steal food from corals.

I also dose koral vit-f everyday, cyclopeeze/brineshrimp eggs and phyto alternate day if I have them (run out for the last two weeks), I also started using Fauna's stuff, like ultra min s, ultra bak, ultra clam and ultra min f for about a week.

Looks even better in real life, the video does not do the tank justice ;)

[clippo]

really nice that - thanks for sharing!

Were those Fathead Anthias on the far right of the tank, or Lyretails?

What camera were you using?

[mysticwave]

Tony B: Thank you, so u r free during the kent invasion day?

Clippo:Yup, they are a pair of fatheads!! So chuffed with them, thought they will fight, but they never did and they seem to be sticking together all the times! :-) I'm happy! They love cyclopeeze!

As for camera, well, i'm using my mobile phone, N70. Cheap and cheerful, but I do need to use a proper camera to do a better quality video next time.

[clippo]

ahh you lucky devil - I'd love a fathead one day - do you mean the frozen cyclopeeze or the powdered form?

Quality looks pretty good to me.

[liquidlogic]

thanks. :)

[mysticwave]

clippo: yes, I'm so happy the pair got on so well & they live next to the clam and have not seen them explore anywhere else 6 inches away from the clam :-) the cyclopeeze is the frozen ones. :-)

I also have a pair of bluestripped pipefish in the tank and they also love the cyclopeeze, I've been meaning to get a decent photo/video of them!

Tony B: Thank you, so u r free during the kent invasion day?

[Tony B]

Liked the video, and the tank. Has your Blue Throat Trigger jumped yet ?. my female which I had for over 9 months jumped on to the carpet last week. When I got home I saw the fish. Nothing I could do. Since then I have read they are jumpers.

[mysticwave]

Hi Portsmouth reef,
Thank you for the compliment. Yes, one of my blue throats jumped once, I hardly have any other house lighting on once the fish tank lights are off but once I had to just when the actinics were going out, and my blue throat never have seen lights from another source other than the tank so it panicked and jumped!! Luckily, I heard and picked it back into the tank.

I now have egg crates to cover my tank at night. Sorry to hear about your loss.

Cheers

Very nice, think I should dig out the camcorder myself at some point.
