Did you cook the rock? If you did, how much time did you spend during the process?

Your sustrate seems to be simply decorative, how often do you clean it?
Thanks.
No, I don't cook the rock.
I don't clean the little with substrate in the front, my Leopard wrasse do it everyday.

Beautiful tank! Great job!

Question though: how do you keep a leopard wrasse without a DSB? I am curious because I was wondering what to do with mine when i change to a BB. Thanks.

PS where in Norway are you? My inlaws are in Oslo and i was just there for the holidays!

EDIT: sorry for the repeat question, I now see you addressed this issue.

Thanks Mike.
I live about one hour from Oslo with car.

I have also read any place in RC you can use a little container with sand to your leopard wrasse if you have BB.

that's such a cool looking wrasse. so it eats a lot of pods? are they aggressive? is that bucket enough to generate enough pods?

Just Dave: I love my wrasse, but the bucket is a bit much to look at! I might have to find him a new home.

Thanks Ray.

I also like my leopard very well. Yes I have tuning my reactor with different Ph day/night so I have very stable levels over a 24 hour cycle. I feed the reactor with a dosing pump.

Your tank is amazing. I can’t believe that it is only 90 gallons it looks more like a 300 gallon. You put David Copperfield to shame. Great work.

Hi MortenN
Congrats on the tank, your corals are very beautiful. Your tank is also very clean. What do you contribute to this cleaniness. I was also wondering, why do you use a uv sterizier and ozone together?

Congrats!
I had a quick question.
How do get by with so many fish in a 90 gallon tank? The naso and the regals alone are 30 inches of fish right?
