Great looking FTS Noy!
I see you are running one of the Sicce voyageur pumps for circulation. How do you like it? Is it comparable to a tunze of simlar size or noiser with less flow? I was thinking about picking up a few of them to add some addtional flow where the vortechs can't get to in my system but I haven't heard much in terms of reviews. |
Good eye! its a voyager 3 (1200gph), whisper quiet never had any issues but a bit on the pricey side. A nice feature is that you can control(limit) the flow through a rotating limiting plate on the outflow. Its a bit awkward in orienting the flow beyond the hinged arms - you have to rotate the whole pump.
Actuallly, when i took that FTS i just took down all my Maxi-jets. I got a deal on some Koralia's so will out outfiting with those otherwise I probably have stayed with the Sicce. |
My latest ... Maxima Clam, can't believe how much i paid for this... can't believe i'm thinking of getting another one...

I have a purple one that i'm working hard just to maintain. Will take more photos once i have polyp extension. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8086/8...8aaa9c5f_z.jpg IMG_4725 by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/93072545@N02/] Elegance Coral. I thought i lost this guy to disease but its making a major comeback - the entire colony shrunk into the rock housing for over 2 months. You can see pretty major tissue loss at the bottom. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8252/8...86a5685a_z.jpg IMG_4741 by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/93072545@N02/] Rock Flower Anemone. had him for a while - he climbed into my fragbox and just stayed there. hard to photograph. Shame, because under actinic lighting its very colourful. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8390/8...e94db9be_z.jpg IMG_4748 by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/93072545@N02/] Closeup shot of my Montipora Confusa colony - looks like a martian landscape. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8366/8...6f45375b_z.jpg IMG_4738 by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/93072545@N02/] Montipora Rainbow. I put this guy beside a mushroom coral for 1/2 day - the entire left side turned dark brown. Thought i lost it - but has recovered in about a week. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8112/8...4d8dc91c_z.jpg IMG_4727 by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/93072545@N02/] Montipora Pokerstar. My euphyllia coral reached out and stung it - you can see the tissue loss at the top. It was a lot worse but its making a comeback - we'll see if i can save it. Its a encrusting variant so i'm trying to get it to encrust my rockwork http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8388/8...50312c70_z.jpg IMG_4735 by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/93072545@N02/] Montipora Pokerstar. Also another victim of euphyllia coral stinging - plus it go knocked over and lost for 2 weeks. Let see if i can save it. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8089/8...755a01a4_z.jpg IMG_4734 by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/93072545@N02/] Euphyillia. This guy has killed more corals than me. It killed a beautiful torch just recently. Its now stuck on the glass at the corner of the tank. Just can't bring myself to get rid of it ... got it as a 1 head frag originally. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8233/8...9c9a0026_z.jpg IMG_4746 by Ngai On, on Flickr |

Not sure why i do this but bought a chili coral. Yep, add another non-photo, hard to care for coral in the mix. Its in the corner until i figure out what to do with it. I only get polyp extension at night and have been target feeding it. The LFS had a much bigger colony but i really didn't like the colouration and they couldn't get any polyp extension (even in the dark).

Sun Coral Propagation
Once your sun corals get established you will get propagation from your colony "spewing" out mini polyps. Unfortunately most of mine end up stuck under the rockwork and don't make it. This is the only survivor so far. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8402/8...41d52d1a_c.jpg IMG_5633 by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/93072545@N02/] |
