I'm living in Ha Noi city. Nice to meet you here!
How long have you been in HCM city?

Neil Fox · Apr 18, 2017

Hi Anh, I lived in HCM City for 8 years, I am in Seattle now. I also had a reef there, in some ways Viet Nam has an advantage with nice corals, but equipment is easier to find here, Looks like they have nice stuff in Hanoi. I could never find a yellow tang in TPHCM. Tank looks good.

8 years was a long time. Now the number of reefer in VN increase so there are also many stores support. It's easy to buy fish, even rare fish. However I can't find special corals and some equipments I have to order over sea. But let's enjoy what we have

Btw, your tank is awesome!

Can you post a picture of the equipment cabinet? How do you like the deltec?

Sahin · Aug 24, 2017

Beautiful tank. I have some questions if you don't mind.

1. Bio reactor. Is that Biopellets?
2. How many fish in the tank?
3. Please list what food you feed the fish daily?

Thanks.

Thanks for your kind words.

1. Yes, that's Biopellets.
2. I keep quite many fish in my tank: 13 fish. I know maybe overstock, but i had time N and P almost 0 (undetected) and my sps don't like it.
3. I feed my fish 3-4 times daily: pellets, flakes, nori seaweed, artemia.

Sinceryly,
