There are 9 tangs in the tankurple, yellow, black, jewel, minic, kole ,hippo, and 2 achilles.... Believe it or not, they live peacefully...probably too many of them and they don't know who to fight with.... |

From the pic they look quite different in size...I suppose that helps too.

Is that an anemone in the top left side? Euphyllia? Elegance?

Just took a look of your Web page and your tank is MARVELLOUS! What do you do to keep the vivid colour of your coral? This troubled me for a long time. By the way I have managed to keep NO3 and PO4 of my tank under control; both are below detectable range of Salifert test kits (the best I can get here) but the coral are still brown and brown..... |

After stable water parameters (alk, ca, mg) in my experience, it's been as simple as keeping nutrients low. Not just PO4 and NO3, but everything else we can't test for. I have a high fish load like you, and if I'm not careful, my corals go brown very quickly (kind of like they are now ). Also, because fish are more important to me than corals, I've simply stopped trying to keep certain kinds. Many of the tricolors, humilis, etc will never be gorgeous in my tank. On the other hand, things like the cali tort look great. I've learned through trial and error which corals look best in my non-nutrient-poor tank
Thanks very much for the kind words, BTW! And FWIW, I don't think your corals look brown at all!

I will take anything ugly in your tank you dont want. Heck I will even pay for S&H. Maybe then my ugly bare tank will be less ugly and less bare. Any donations?

And with regards to ISO - his camera can do 100 - 3200. I agree boost it up as high as you can, but where I differ is where "as high as you can" is defined at. All point and shoot small cameras uses small CCD's, which translates to HUGE noise at higher ISO. So much the photo is utterly useless. Much better is just to use a tripod - even a cheap one will work wonders. Look at the "Low Contrast Details" section: Camera It is clear any setting above ISO 100 is useless for preserving any kind of low contrast details. |

By the way I used tripod from the very beginning....and for the latest pics I set the ISO to 200, with flash off. |

I see that you have two different genus of anemones in the same tank. How long have you had them together in the same tank if I may ask?
Beautiful acropora colonies! Great job you've done! |

Well, both are in the tank since the very beginning....some 5 years now. I am not sure about the exact species of them but when I brought them I thought one will be at the top and one at the bottom. Fortunately I was right. Thank you for you kind words but the acropora are only big...colour is not satisfactory to me. |
