Wow that's impressive. How have you dealt with keeping pests out of the tank?
Did you ever have to deal with AEFW's ? that's been a problem for some great acro tanks over here.

I have not had problems with them or red bugs myself I do have a lot of wrasses in tank. The pair of Adorned Wrasses are constantly working the bases of my SPS. The people who have had issues with AEFW's in UK it only seems to happen after treating tanks for red bugs

Care to share what you you think you do that contributes to the colors, especially the blue millie.

The blue Milli I always used to put down to running 10k and 20k lamp together, now I only run 10k and t5 blues so can't be high k lamps. I think its same with any SPS it will attend a colour if right conditions in Reef system exist i.e. nutrients are low, water clarity is maintained and the system is stable in terms of temp,ph,calcium,alk,phos,nitrate.

Understood thank you!
What r the tricks and tips to have a awesome tank like yours? are u running a bacterial driven system? sorry for too many questions hope u dont mind.

I think answer to any sucessful reef would be stability, I personnally also like to overskim my systems quicker you get nutrients out of system the better. I do run ULNS its the Fauna Marine version which is far less complicated than other zeo systems

Its is skimmed by a Deltec AP 902 and an H&S 3x1260.

Which skimmer do you like better? What is your opinion on running two skimmers in the same system? people alway regurgitate the comment multiple skimmers don't work well together in the same system. I personally did not experience that with running a large twin beckett and a large needle wheel skimmer in a 500+ gallon system.
