First strike up was 15 Jan 2011
and after a hair algae problem I restart again on 1th march 2013
with new rock, substrate, different pumps and lighting




Only use collected natural salt water

After researching various configuration I decided this is the best for viewing at naked eye

Your tank has some beautiful corals, and they are placed perfectly to give amazing contrast and make them really pop
