Default Another amazing Azoox tank using Fauna Marin Foods

All I can say is WOW!

Uhuru has long been know as one of the guru on RC for Azoox tanks and as this part of the hobby is growing in leaps and bounds this well deserving tank wins the May spot light on nano reefs

Well you dont have to kill for a tank like that, you just need a bit of patients and the right foods.
Do you reed corals magazine?
If you read any of the articles in Coral Magazine about keeping azoox tank and if you follow the Azoox forums on RC one food line will pop up again and again and again, the Fauna Marin food line for feeding corals. When it comes to feeding corals or fish, nobody can compete with FM. And the success of azoox tanks like this are proof of that.

A dosing pump is recomended but not required.

The Fauna Marin foods are a must though and if you follow the azoox guide it will take you step by step trough all the info that you need to give you a good basis for diving into the world of azoox corals.

I see you have a decent sized system already. Connecting an azoox tank onto your main display will help you feed your main display and keep amazing water quality in the Azoox tank at the same time. It makes keeping azoox corals WAY easier.

lol, yes it will.
If you want to keep Azoox corals in a nano tank it does take a fair amount of work. You need to keep SPS quality water and you need to feed the tank as many times a day as possible. These 2 tings can be challenging to accomplish at the same time.

Uhuru is pushing the envelope by keeping the most challenging corals in the most labour intensive size tank possible and he is doing a wonderfull job of it!

If you have an existing system already and are successfull in maintaining good water quality then you can incease the success of both system by plumbing an azoox tank into your main display.
My tank gets fed phyto 10ml 24 times a day (240ml total) and the Fauna Marin Seafan mash 7 ml 24 times per day and my redox is steady at 425. Actually I just recently added a Fauna Marin dosing pump to automate the feedings and the redox has not changed at all on my 144g half cylinder display tank.
