What methods do you practice?
Any thing special that you do to your aquariums?
Any additives?
What brand 10k bulb and ballasts combo?
What t5 combo?

Beautiful aquarium I really love the look of a cube..

Beautiful aquarium I really love the look of a cube..
thanx for your reaction.

In the sump I use a filter sock that is changed 3 times a week.
As of any additives i use gro-tech 123 and amino's of gro tech.
The lightening consists of 3 ati aquaspezial blue and 3 blue plus.
But I am planning to change them into the new Korallen Zucht bulbs from gemany. I saw them at my LFS, they are very very nice. Especially the Fiji purple, really brings out the red and purple in corals and fish!
The MH bulb is an aquamedic aqualine.(Don't really like him, but I had two of them lying around so a waste of money not to use them) in combination with a conventionally magnetic ballast.(yees those electronical ballast are expansive!)

Dont change water that much, whem i do i use Red Sea Coral Pro. probably two times a month tops.

greets Wouter

Will post pictures of ligtenning and sump later on tonight.

Stunning tank Wouter, my 1000mm x 1000mm x 735mm cube is under construction and threads like this really inspire me. Do you have any top down pics?

Thank you for the reply. I might have to give you a ring when I stop in Amsterdam later this year. I'd love to see this aquarium in person.

You're welcome, I know a lot of other beautiful aquariums in Amsterdam. There are a few Hotels with great tanks you must vistit when you come to Amsterdam.

So when do we get some close ups of the inhabitants?

When I come closer to leaving the states I will follow up with asking you for some information on those aquariums as well as yours.
