[AwesomeAssassin1000]

wow many can i ask what type of live rock do u have

[valeriicovileac]

Thanks!

[neznauGde]

what kind of coral is that on TOP RIGHT...?

and green stuff on the bottom??

[Reimster1]

@neznauGde

That is a Pulsing Xenia (soft coral) ,, The bright green are green star polyps.

[neznauGde]

But with diamond goby I have lots of sand storm. What should I do??

[ixoyewarrior]

What are the green carpets towards the bottom called?

[Reimster1]

@ixoyewarrior

These are Green Star Polyps.....

[MrCatiauser]

It is so beautifull!

[Reimster1]

@MrCatiauser

Thanks!!!

[darklove224466]

you have some really amazing coral. i love your tank its so beautiful

[Reimster1]

@darklove224466

Thanks!!!

[neznauGde]

1. How often do you do water changes?

2.should I get Diamond goby to clean sand, what do you think?

3. I got one mp40w, for my 75 gal, should I get second one?

[Reimster1]

@neznauGde

Water changes are Bi-Weekly at 10%

Diamon (Sleeper) Gobies are always a good addition to a reef system. Be sure to have a sufficient san depth as they like to bury themselves..

1 wavemaker should be sufficient in your 75.. 2 may be to much current.

[itagakiaqua]

[savadikapyang]

[Reimster1]

@zbg8000

Thanks!

[ghatholl1]

How do you feed your reef, if you do not ever change ..?

[Reimster1]

@ghatholl1

occsional addition of tiger pods, phytoplankton -PhytoFeast , and arcti pods... (reef nutrition)

[ghatholl1]

@Reimster1 How do you get all this, buy it? what its brand.

How many days once you change his water? Type of lamp and wattage / lummen / kelvin you need.

[1963pa28180r]

It's impressive.... tell us about your lighting?

[Reimster1]

@1963pa28180r

300 watt 12000 k metal Halides (reeflux) 260 watt dual actinic Power Compacts.

supplemented by direct sunlight via placement in front of window for 3-4 hours a day.

[ctenochaetus]

Very good work !

[DaxonizAmazin]

This is the coolest tank i have ever seen!

[WCorbin182]

Awesome info I'm very impressed and inspired one od the best soft coral display I've seen yet

[WCorbin182]

Mushrooms and GSP went crazy what are you dosing?

[Reimster1]

@WCorbin182

Absolutely nothing but occasional Magnesium and Calcium, also KH buffer.

Filter feeding Corals are fed only occasionallly. 75 Gallon Basement Sump/Refugium helps with available microfauna. tigger pods, etc.

[PlayerXevic]

This baby must take a ton of work, bit it is beautiful none the less, great work on that masterpiece.

[Reimster1]

@PlayerXevic

Once established, and also by using a remote sump and refugium the tank really takes care of itself. The additonal of a refugium to a captive reef system is one of the best ways to increase success, improve water quality and reduce maintenance.

[thefishadict]

How have you found the Bicolour angelfish? Safe with corals? I am considering one, and would like to know how you've found yours so far.

[Reimster1]

@thefishadict

The BiColor, and most Dwarf Angels are fine if well fed and the diet incudes mysis shrimp.,other small crustasceans and good green algae sheets, etc.. this will usually keep their interest form corals.(This is my experience only and dwarf angels are definitely in the proceed with caution category)

[TheReefProject]

@thefishadict just to add for those thinking of getting one... in my experience bicolours will leave soft corals alone but pick at and kill sps (but not so much montis).

[cruzersith]

Wow, that's was awesome. Can u give me the list coral that u have in your aquarium.

[Reimster1]

@cruzersith

Green Star Polys, Branching Torch Coral, Brown Zoo's/Polyps, Yellow Toadstool Leather, Cladiella (Finger Coral)

[yeahimjustthatcool14]

get some sps/lps.

[hhinojosareef1]

[TheXforcer]

Very Nice!

[vahan1990]

How many years live in these blue tang ?

[Reimster1]

@vahan1990

Mine is at least 4 years now.... MY foxface is going on 11 years in captivity.

[vahan1990]

@Reimster1 thank you )

[forumrox]

Is that "neon green" GSP? My GSP only extends about 1/8th of that... and is much more like a mat covering as opposed to the long swaying strands... and it isn't that color at all - more of an aqua neon green.

[forumrox]

I wish my GSP looked like that. :(

[Crkbaby666]

beautiful Softy setup

[OriginalMartian]

nice and good music

[RubenyGenesis10]

how long did you wait after you set up your aquarium to start adding corals and invertebrates??

[Reimster1]

The Tank was cycled using live rock from my  old 75 Gallon reef for 6 weeks.

[jarederajarederaj]

@Reimster1 Hey I just bought the same exact tank as you (4feetlongx2ft deepx28in tall) and im upgrading from my 60 gallon.. did it really need 6 weeks? im thinking im only going to take 2 and a half weeks. wouldnt that be good enough?

[Reimster1]

@jarederajarederaj

I typically take fully natural approcahes to cycling aquariums... I do not add any boosters or anything.

Just cured live rock and a few hardy fish. waiting 4-y6 weeks quarantees system stability and less chance of any toxic ammonia/nitrite spikes.

[jarederajarederaj]

dude thats so cool! you should get some tiny schooling fish, that would make it look so much cooler

[hhinojosareef1]

very nice symply incredible.

[brac1derland]

nice tank, whats the name of the green coral???

[RaffleReefer10]

@brac1derland Green Star Polyps or GSP.

[therealrockondon]

nice

[Nokkie32]

Thats tight !!! how much did it cost you . just wondering ?

[Luckyhorserescue]

I'm not sure what is prettier the fish or the coral. This tank puts me in a trance. Great job Kevin!

[Jpieka19]

[alstrizzy]
