Tank of the Month - November 2009 - Grumpydwarf
Many of you have asked about smaller tanks being featured as Tank of the Month and this month it's been answered with your votes.
Keeping a single sun coral thriving and growing takes great committment and dedication. Keeping several of them takes something else! Add a few rhyzos into the mix as well and you've got yourself a tank that will not simply look after itself. This months tank isn't about size, it's about the look and I love the simplicity of this look - it is gorgeous. Without any further hesitation it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to the latest in the UltimateReef.com Tank of the Month series.... Congratulations Steven on being UltimateReefs November 2009 Tank of the Month. Thanks and congratulations to Steven for sharing his tank with us. If you have any questions or comments then please post them in this thread.

Indeed it is a smashing little tank - and incredibly well maintained to keep it looking like that with such a lot of food being added regularly.
I have a number of questions though: How long do you run the main 55W light for each day? How high are your high nitrates that you have a constant battle with? Are you winning or keeping them at a certain level? Do you dose Prodibio Bio Clean as recommended for your tank volume or is it higher than that?How much water do you change weekly? A very minor point but I don't think you have the "sand percher" IDed correctly. Looks more like the Redspotted Sandperch, Parapercis schauinslandii to me - although spelling of the Latin name seems to vary from source to source. Great little tank - very nicely done.  John

PS: Sorry, a few more Q's!
 Do you still have the problem where one group of sun corals refuse to open for prolonged periods? How long is a prolonged period? Days? Weeks? Do you have any theory on why this is? e.g. change of position of pumps and hence prevailing current? Perhaps a predator moving from one group to another? Is there any damage? John
