Pues eso, que por fin me decidÃ* a remodelar. Aunque por desgracia, mi impaciencia me ha pasado cuenta, y la anterior vez que metÃ* la mano....... sin comentarios.

A mi pecera le sobraban cosas, asÃ* que decidÃ*, tras hacer una chapuza, imitar la técnica de Dani (piscinita de niños ):



DecidÃ* hacer un arrecife central, para lo cual hice una estructura de rejilla:



Antes de nada sifoné todo el fondo y saqué la anterior estructura que tenÃ*a y casi toda la roca viva:



AquÃ* la roca viva que me sobró y Paco, mi ayudante (muchas gracias por dedicarme todo el dÃ*a k: ):



El proceso de montaje:

Coloqué una TUNZE 6100 debajo, una RIO de 2500 litros y una saccem de unos 3000 litros, en total, 17000 litros debajo de la estructura barriendo.

También cambié el enganche de mis tunze con los nuevos imanes y les puse el deflector de codo de PVC para dirigir la corriente y poner mis bombas al 100% de potencia.

Detalle de como quedó el fondo:



Una foto de mi tridacna, todavÃ*a con sedimentos encima:



La euphillia de �ngel Morales (gracias ángel k: ):



Ayer, aunque el agua estaba aún un poco turbia hice unas fotos:







Como se puede ver, el acuario está nuevecito, esperando terminar de ser ajustado y listo para empezar a crecer .

Espero que tarde otros cinco años en remodelar porque...... vaya tunda que nos dimos......

Este es el resultado, no es lo que tenÃ*a previsto que me saliera, pero estoy muy contento, he conseguido con apenas roca, aparentar un buen volumen y en directo no se ve tan mal como en las fotos, de todas formas, es pronto para que resplandezca, en un par de meses..... ya que la idea es que los corales sean los que le den la forma al acuario y no la decoración de roca en sÃ*
Un saludo a todos.

Actualización.


Me queda que cambiar los actuales spiders, por mis nuevos lumenarc (que por cierto, todavÃ*a no los he sacado ni de su caja.....).

Comentar que ahora mismo estoy solo con ARM en el reactor y que tengo fosfatos, aunque no estoy utilizando ninguna resina antifosfatos. En las piedras está floreciendo la coralina (se quedó totalmente pelada.... no le llegaba luz ninguna). El consumo de Ca va subiendo poco a poco, lo cual es muy buen sÃ*ntoma, y mis corales empiezan a tener "colorcillo"


No me salen bien las fotos superiores, que son las que más me gustan, porque tengo muchos reflejos de los proyectores.....


Unas fotillos.

Una seriatopora muy bonita:

¿Qué usted está alimentando? ¿Cuánto? ¿Cómo a menudo? ¡Debe ser duro alimentar 80 pescados!

¡Su tanque es asombroso!

What are you feeding? How much? How often? It must be hard to feed 80 fish!

Your tank is amazing!

¿Muy hermoso, usted dio lejos a colonias principales del coral y de la subsistencia justa algunos cortes? ¿Son la mayorÃ*a de sus corales aquacultured? Espero que esto le sea comprensible, yo esté utilizando un programa para traducir para mÃ*. Puede ser que le ayude también aquÃ* es las gracias de la dirección http://world.altavista.com/tr de la tela otra vez.

Food to the fish with food in grudges (tetramin) and alga nori every day.

elbows of PVC of 90 degrees cut by half.

I have distributed esquejes by all Spain.

Thank you very much. A greeting.

i try to explain but some of my translation may not make sense.

finally I decided to remodel. Although unfortunately, my impatience has passed me account, and the previous times that I put my hands in the tank, oh well....... without commentaries. my reef tank had some things exceeded out of room ,

I decided to make a small island for which I made a structure of eggcrate pic#13

I underneath placed a TUNZE 6100, a RIO of 2500 liters and one saccem of about 3000 liters, altogether, 17000 liters underneath the structure sweeping. Also I changed to the mounting of my tunzes for new magnets, and I put the baffle plate with PVC elbow to direct the current and to put my pumps to the 100% of power.pic#18

I have left to change present spiders reflector by my new lumenarc (that by the way, I have still not removed from its box.....). To comment that right now I am running the calcium reactor with "ARM"media and that I have phosphates, although I am not using any resin antiphosphates. In the lr the coralline is blooming, The consumption of Ca is raising little by little, which is very good symptom, and my corals begin to have some color, the corals that i like They do not come out in the photos well to me, because of the reflections of the lights i have
