nothing at all, looks great, what kind of lights do you use, I like the look.

I think it would look even better with more actinic

It needs to be moved - to my living room.

Wow! I can't believe the tank is only 200L! It looks much bigger.

Impressive. Thats what I hope my 180G looks like soon!

Yea, I agree with Tangirl, the only thing I would do different is have it in my house and not yours.

Were you trying to duplicate a deep water biotope Tanu? Beautiful tank!

Tanu, your tank keeps looking better all the time. My only complaint is that you continue to resist going to a bigger tank. I'd love to see what you could do with aquascaping on a 225G or so tank!

Is there a clownfish using your clam for an anemone?

 

[Tanu]

lionfish: for lighting, I use 1 150 W MH german 10.000 K, one 30 W NO daylight and one 30 W NO actinic. I plan to change the daylight for a more blue tube. I don't like the 'purple shimmer' of actinics, I like it's effect on the corals. So, mainly for viewing purposes, I'll swap the daylight for a blue tube.

SPC: the tank looks quite dark, in reality it isn't, this just has to do with this picture. The tank is a mainly sps/fish tank: many sps, and about 17 fish. I would like to create a deepwater-environment, but I don't know exactly how to handle the balance between input and output of nutrients. When creating a deepwater-tank, I would love to keep dendronepthya's, colored gorgonians and so on, but I really don't know how to create a reasonable plancton level together with a good water quality.

chris_h: indeed, one of my false percs is using my clam as an anemone! Sometimes the other (female) does the same. Right next to the clam is a rose BT, but they aren't very interested. I really love my two percs, but I'm thinking about changing them for a pair of maroons, as the BT is the natural host for them. What do u think?

Thanx for all compliments!

I was going to say that maroons are hosted by Bubble tips, and perc's like the another more difficult anemone. If you are wanting the bubble to have a clown then please do swap the perc from the maroon and keep the BT. Magnifacents are difficult to keep. Sorry for the spelling

Your Tank looks beautiful By the way. Youare doing something very right!
