Hi boys and girls!
This tank has been running since aprox. the end of last year and the experimentel scrubber was set up in the begining of this year...
ok thanx for your answer santa!
I was just thinking that all the pods and more that the scrubber produce could help feeding these corals... Any experience?
Hey
anyone keeping gorgonias and sun corals?
my question is do they need special feeding if you have a good ats?

update:
The rocks are now covered in different Algeas and I feed 1 cube artemia and 2-3 pinches flakes a day... And the tank looks GOOD!

Do you feed your LPS corals?
how old are your gonioporas and do you feed them some kind?
this algae growth from 3 weeks.
The algaes are more greenish in the bootom area of the rocks. thats strange could that be that the light is too strong? (20led, 3W but they are not in full power by...
I Have added a small pump to get more turbelence... Im looking forward to the cleansing this weekend to observe if the are more growth in that area where the pump is placed... pictures will follow!
the water flow comes from the black tubes and run through the bow filled with live rocks
the light is on ½ throttle but as soon I get my fan woriking stronger light is on the way... more turbulence...
hhhhhhhhhmm alrighty
hey this ats setup is a little like the one Im trying to produce...
how much flow do you hace acoss the sreen?
ok more turbulence is the goal!
do you think the best way is air bubbles or a pump that can deliver aprox. 2000L/h???
last evening I took time for the first cleaning of the rocks en the "ATS"-box. The result was a little dark slimy algae in the colour of brown to a little thin green... I think thats pretty good for...
I think I will try to put more live rocks in the box. that way I will raise the rocks so the water runds over them and not around them!

the system takes a break for several reasons....
Ok I will try to turn the light up again and if the algae turns yellow it is too much, right?. Is that the best way to do it?
