sunnyx, how much time do you spend cleaning your glass? That tank looks as clean as a 1 day old tank but with large corals

Hello

My glass doesn't really put on much algae but I will run the magnet whenever I am not busy and near the tank. I could go about 10 days before I would have to clean the glass but I try and clean it every couple days. The wall directly behind the tank is painted a light blue which really gives the tank a sense of depth when looking at it in person.

Nothing destroys the illusion of a pristine reef than a dirty viewing pane.

Yes that's my prized blue tip efflo one of my fav's here's a nice pic of it .Thank you

That is an awesome efflo Mark728. Where is it in terms of your lighting?

I have two efflos that are coloring up VERY slowly. I've had them for about 4 months and they are growing but just showing hints of blue/purple. I'm thinking more light would help. Mine are about 12 & 16 inches below a 250W XM 20K with T5 supplements and med-strong random flow.

i too would like to know more details about running skimmerless. how long? what do you do for nutrient export? fish load?

very beautiful tank!

do you have a thread somewhere about the tank and husbandry?

yours is the first skimmerless sps tank i have seen here.

(and this is the last photo, after 2 months all corals were sold and we moved to another town again, but I made frags from almost every coral. So now my "Home sea" looks rather poor

)

From the very begining I made bekcet skimmer
( http://www.aqualogo.ru/phpbb2/index....e=post&id=8825 , http://www.aqualogo.ru/phpbb2/index....e=post&id=8826 ), that very soon seemed to be excessively powerfull (system became steril - no plancton, no algae, some corals looked poor )/ And I wanted to make the system as silent as possible.
I think skimmer can be removed after a year , if you see that the system became stable and can bear its usual load

. But I have to confess that I never loaded system very hard after the skimmer was removed. I never had more than 10 fishes ( and I never wanted to have more

). For nutriens export only refugium, carbon and purigen are used.

Here are some macro shots of my tank on our russian forum (its my thread) . 3 months ago my Kauderni reproduced successfully, 18 from 20 fries were brought up.
