Very Nice Stephane, all the corals look very healthy, acros have great color, I too am using the Radium on a Blueline E-ballast, a few months now and have noticed more color in the greens, blues, & purples, verdict is still out on yellows & pinks.

Are you using a calcium reactor along with your Kalkreactor or are you just running a Kalkreactor?, if your just running a Kalkreactor, are you able to maintain stability in your calcium & Alk levels?, or do you have to supplement with a 2 part additive in order to keep your levels up.

Very nice tank, Keep up the good work!

No wayner only kalkwasser and occassional vinegar + 15 % water change each month, feed the fish 1-2 a day and use T blend instant algea 2-3 time a week and selco (not the dilute selcon) both from SWC I have start a rotifer culture but have not put a lot in the reef since I am only experiment with it right now no other additive or any miracle snake oil
I have dose reef buider and reef calcium last month from sea chem but the 500 gram container have last me 2 week so a way to expensive for me (40$ for 2 week :shock: )

I have a calcium reactor but I receive it two day ago and he is not on the tank right now but empty and wait for the CO2 botle

I use the radium on Agro ballast the collor improve every day as coral take some time to shift for the best color I use the radium for about 5-6 month and tink it is the best bulb for acro for pure coloration

the skimmer is a becket skimmer I made on the areofoamer 830 model
I use a have maker and four power head but will soon upgrade to my new scwid

the PH is 8.1 -8.5
temp 81-84
cal 400
alk 7.5 dkh

Very nice! Stephane looks beautiful :shock:, whatever your doing -it's working right for your reef and that's all that matters.
keep it up :wink:

Wow! Looks great Stephane, you really have a fabulous tank. I'm interested in your sump set up and auto top off but the descriptions are in French :( which is a problem for some of us that are linguistically challenged.

Your tank is impresive! Nice work!

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Tanks guy!

the float valve I use is on the main water before the RO so if you want that setup you need to have water entry and a drain inside the canopy
if you have those I could teach you how to do it

Excellent reef Stephane. How do the tangs get along? What about the butterfly. Has it bothered any of your corals? I see what you mean about the radium lighting and how it brings out the colours of the SPS. Well done and congrats. Lets see more close-ups of the sps.

Cheers,

Andy
