wow...looks like u hit the jack pot with your water parameters....looks good...i've some what similar setup but a 2x2x2..finding it difficult to keep certain types of corals & livestocks...they die off or go missing..prob end up dead.....worst is my tank is abt 4years old.....those which survive are healthy & thriving..i even had a Bengal Cardinal pair spawn...sometimes its damn frustrating....congrats on ur set up though

I am using NSW for my tank and I find that it is easier to maintain the water parameters using NSW than salt mix.

The main problem for me is that due to space constraints, all my corals are placed very close to one another and this creates some problems especially when the feeding tentacles of 1 coral stings and kills the coral next to it.

Corals are from Iwarna, Golden Octopus, Reborn and Jireh Marine.

Are you going to try SPS in this tank at a later date?

You have a pretty nice scape going but I think there might be a little too much live rock in there, might be a problem later when you start buying more coral which is attached to pieces of LR also.

What sand are you using as the substrate btw? looks very bright white, hehe.

I will probably not be trying SPS. SPS is difficult because you need to maintain very pristine water parameters in order for them to fluorish and get the colours to be very vibrant. Also the dosing of the additives will be a killer.

For corals that are attached to large pieces of LR, I will usually cut off the LR, leaving the coral and a bit of the LR and then place or glue it in the tank.

I am using live sand as the substate.

It is a good set up .

I want to ask you ,
what is your photoperiod time ?
what do you feed the corals ?
what kind of elements do you add ?
do you have fish other than foxface ?

enjoy it

1) 1hr T5 followed by 6 hrs MH and lastly 1 hr T5 again.
2) Feeding corals with zooplankton, phytoplankton, rotifiers, copepods, artemis, frozen mysis, frozen brine shrimps, silver fish & clam meat.
3) Adding Calcium, Magnesium, Carbonate, Trace Elements, Strontium, idiode.
4) Yes I have other fishes other than foxface. Most of the fishes are free, given to me by other reefers who no longer want them in their tanks. But the most important consideration for me is that the fishes must be reef safe.
