very nice. i see you love brains and euphyllia.

Looks incredible! I love your Acans/Lords. They are so hard to get here in the US (nice ones). I wish I could bring some home next time I'm in Asia. ;-)

How about some equipment shots, you have gone very high end! I still haven't hung my Sunlight NG, I have to get go THRU the ceiling and create some support in the attic since its so heavy.

I'd love to contact you next time. I never made it to Bunaken. We took a flight to UP, and took trains, buses, vans, bicycles, boats all the way to the Togian Islands. Took two weeks to get there (lots of fun stops), and we dove around there for a week. It was beautiful.

Aquamedic Sunlight is quite heavy. I think is weight about 20Kg each. It's a bit difficult to screw the bolt to the concrete ceiling.

Unfortunatelly, one of my light defect on arrival. The shipping company didn't take a good care. So one of the safety glass was broken. I tried to replace the glass with tempered glass, it's only survived 15 minutes before it's cracked.

I will get replacement of the safety glass in about 2 weeks. So now only one Aq Medic Sunlight can be use.

I have not get the Acropra and Montipora from Bali. Hopefully my friend will send it to me early July.

Thanks alot for all of your comments.

More photo shot will comin' soon.

That's quite the list of fish. Good luck.

Have you noticed any heat from your chiller inside of your stand? I was going to suggest you put the chiller outside the stand and move the skimmer inside, but I see that you have it filled.

Looks great.

There is no heat from the chiller, because it use outdoor compressor.

I re-arrange some corals, starting to introduce Acropora.
One Aquamedic Light still of due to the broken safety glass. On the right side quite bright while on the left is only blue light.

That's the beauty of living in the largest coral exporter.
If I compare with marinedepotlive, coral prices in Jakarta are 50% cheaper for the same (export) quality.

But if you buy the coral in the local "wet" market, the price is only 10% of the US Coral price. However the quality are not the same.

My Plankton Culture :

Iso, Tretra and Nanochlorophis :

Thank you Fliger ...

This is my first experience to culture live phyto and rotifer. So far the development are quite good. Both Nanochorophis and rotifer are growing as planned. I just check the rotifer with 32x microscope ..... wow ... they are alive ... amazing.

The system are make by my reefer buddy in Jakarta. http://www.reef-indonesia.com

Once I'm able to culture for about one month, I will post the tips and tricks in RC.
