Hi Machado
In the past we had producing on intensive system live Adult artemia in a closed system, and huge quantities can be produced in a relatively small area and also without being dependent on sea water. This farming method allows complete control against contamination from external sources I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family a happy holiday season. Please enjoy this time of year with family and friends, and most of all be safe! |

Machado I saw the yellow Gobiodon in your tank, does he iritate the Acroporas or not at all? I had one a year ago and he was iritating almost all of mine SPS (all polyps were constantly closed) . It had to go out and I was very glad to take him out safely without disturbing the reef.
But now when I see your's and other tanks with him, it makes me think I got the worst one out there :-(

Cprowler: when we post more than 3 shots we have to split the post. I neglected that.
Urb77: Long time ago i tried to produce massive adult artemia, to feed my fishes with live food, but I failed. ![]() Ok Chris wright, especially for you and Cprowler, next time I will post new photos x3. ![]() Laomedon: my gobiodons are a couple. I never noticed irritation of corals but what i see is when they spawn they cause some damage in posture zones, but nothing serious. These tiny creatures are my favorite fishes therefore i would never take them out. Happy new year for all.

This may have already been asked but, what are your plans with all the frags? For sale/trade?
Thanks |

Wizsmaster: I rented the space (automobile garage) one year and three months ago (2006, September).
Then, after rent the space, I put hands on approach beginning with thermal and acoustic isolation works, paintings, ventilation, construction of the structures and tanks, etc., and the aquariums started the break in period 5 months later (2007, February). The first corals came in nine months ago (from my home aquariums I dismantled in 2007, March). About 4 months ago i added 19 frags that i brought from Germany. Everything has been done in stages, step by step. Coraljunky: I do this as a hobby. If everything go on well, as i hope and pray for that, and if my corals grow too much and the system reaches unbearable costs for me, maybe I´ll be obliged to sell some frags to pay some costs but not with the purpose of the business. I earn my money, for almost 30 years, always working as a Civil Engineer. Cheers,

Redox: I liked. You improved the water movement and now you control better your corals from above. Corals and fishes looks like happier.
Flint&Eric: thanks for your coments.

I would like you know a little better, and in more detail, the scenes of my system. So, i start by making some diagrams of the movement of water in the system and detail of the sump.
layout of the sump ![]() Water flow in the sump ![]() Water flow from tanks to sump ![]() I wait for your questions and comments, Cheers

bobbet43 and Redox: do you know the vodka method to feed bacteria in aquariums? I’m using a different one: the beer method!!!… to feed myself and visitors...
conorwynne: I bought the mother donor of this Pocilophora pistilata in Dortmund, German, five months ago. Cheers,

can you tell me what combination you would use in a 4 bulb t5 set up?
at the moment I have 1 aqua blue+(10,000 kelvin), 1 actinic (20,000 K), 1 super actinic, and one mid day (6,500 k). I don't get the sps colors I would like to see, most of my sps corals become a shade of green. Thanks...Joshua |

JaredWaites: thnks for your words.
Joshua76: Mid day bulbs (6,500 k) promotes algae growth. In my opinion is a good option to use 10,000 k minimum. The ideal would be 60% (10,000 k) and 40% (20,000 k) but with 4 bulbs you can’t do this combination. Try to use 3 aqua blue (10,000 k) and 1 actinic (20,000 k) if you want to grow corals with acceptable colors. If you want to get more color even sacrificing growth, use 50/50. I wonder your feedback.

Thank you for the advice. I'll give it a shot 50/50 and see how it goes, and give you an update as soon as I see a difference. Oh and By the way you have the most outstanding propagation system I've ever seen.
Sincerely.....Joshua |
