what do you keep your alk/calc/mg at Iwan? Also wondering about how your adding it to the tank, is it on a doser?
What is the bulb combo you are running now? is it still 1aquablue to 1blue+ ?
All ATI bulbs i assume.
I too am a t5 addict and dream about colors like yours!

Thanks in advance!

Iwan,
As usual, your tank looks spectacular.
Congratulations on your tank being featured in Coral Magazine.
The write up was superb.

Iwan, congrats on the TOTM for Coral Magazine! Best reefing magazine out now, and Iwan's tank looks killer. Too bad RC didn't wise up and offer you the spot before you shut it down.

Colorfull! Will the corals have enough room to grow? 2 years from now you won't see those open caves.

Another spectacular setup, Iwan!!!
A sps tank illuminated with only t5's at 27.5" deep.
Makes me re-evaluate my lighting/chiller plans....

Hi Iwan,

Interesting to see that you are using an ATI BM...was looking at the BM 250 today as I'm looking for a skimmer on my 210G. I've heard that there are problems with adjusting water level and air intake on this skimmer, that a lot of skimmate builds up on the riser column because of that. Have you encountered any such problems?

Love the new aquarium really nice....again coloration is spectacular. Whereabout in the Red Sea did you dive?
