If ever you trim your emerald zoas and blue actinos... maybe you can sell some frags this way... sori I can't help it... they're so purty...




there are a few polyps of my emerald green zoas (about 5 polyps) that detached itself from the main colony because of overcrowding. i'll let it attach to some liverock and when it does i'll let you know

sarap makakita ng magagandang tanks or setups. Thanks greggydm, my pleasure to have seen your tank's post!


Thanks a lot for the comment bro! :) I would have posted my tank earlier
but since this is an experimental zero-edge tank, i had a lot of figuring out to do and made sure that everything is working properly

sir , share naman your reefkeeping strategy like your supplements, water changes and saltmix. nice livestocks btw thanks po.


the first 3months i was dosing seachem reef complete. I allready had coralline algae on the second month but not much since i was not dosing magnesium. The past 3months i shifted to Randy's 2part with magnesium
and then the coralline grew on almost everything including the pumps, the canals and even my fuge and ats screen. Even on the outside glass!!

I do 20% water changes every end of the month with RO water using Coralife salt. I feed the fishes 2x a day and cyclopeeze once a week.

that's a cool idea. Love the look of your led spot lights. Your light fixture looks very sophisticated--

I used 3/8" glass on all sides including the base and the canal channels. Hindi naman masyadong mahirap basta iplan mo lang mabuti. Make sure naka level mabuti yung tank and have enough return flow from the sump to get an even flow on all glass sides of the tank.

One other thing about zero-edge tanks is that snails do come over the sides and into the canal channels sometimes causing some water splashes. So i make sure to clean the glass regularly para walang makain yung snails sa glass.

I will post more about my SPS. I only have a couple of acros and i need a good macro lens to show their true colors and beauty. And besides i'm still waiting for them to color up and adjust to my lighting. But i have seen some growth in them allready and the polyps only come out after lights out.

Two of my turbinarias have grown so fast that they are touching each other allready. Grew 1 1/2" in diameter in just 2months time! At first i thought they will not survive. Their polyps only came out after more than a month in the tank and they looked bleached when i got them.
