Jourdy's 90 Gallon Mixed Reef

Your corals are spectacular and for a frag tank is most amazing! People strive to have a display tank that looks that good! In the bottom photo what is the red coral to the upper right of the brain?? Looks like a red bubble coral... is that possible?

That is a red cynarina coral. Quite common here in the PH. Started about 2" in diameter and now expands up to 6". It has been with me for around 3 years I think. :)


Hey jourdy stunning tank , may u share ur radion program ? And how do u see the growth

Sure, send me a PM with your email address. Lots have already asked for mine. Be careful with the intensity though as it might burn your corals.

Beautiful tank, looking forward to seeing more info on it

Very nice! Great camera technique and editing.

Great update! I'm addicted to your thread!

All i can say is WOW!!!

This is one great tank. That pile of zoa's makes me a bit jealous and I'm an SPS lover.

Wow! Just wow! I am drooling:tongue:

Ridiculous photos. Great job.

its amazing tank...awseome composition and color,...can u share the maintenance u ran?

Thanks guys!
Regarding the maintenance.. I actually don't have any sort of program or schedule.
I just water change every 2 weeks or so around 25-30%.

Is it hard to get corals from the US?

Yes. In my experience, I had to ask friends coming home to bring them for me.
Lots of DOA as well. I think around 50% of what I got ended up either DOA or dying from the stress :(
 
Updated needed!!!
 
Sorry for the late replies, was out of the country for a break.

Will update the thread and take pictures next week when I get settled.


As for the Radions, I like them. The range of colors is unmatched. My only qualm about it is the programming gets a bit skewed for me. When I added another radion for my frag tank, I couldn't get them all to group together. They always ended up groupning 2 and 1.


As for salt, I actually use whatever is available. Since the stocks here in the PH is a bit erratic, I decided to ditch the hassle of going for just 1 brand and instead just try whatever's available at the moment. A couple of years ago I used Reef Crystals. Then switched to Red Sea Coral Pro, then when I couldn't get my hands on those anymore, I switched to Aquavitro. They all seemed to be okay in my tank.. but to be honest I don't really see a difference. There are times when I get so busy that I don't get to see my tank for quite some time :)
 
Very enjoyable thread. Can't wait for more. I'm just kinda starting out. Good inspiration.
 
Still waiting!!
 
Updates please!
 
Sorry for the late update. You guys will see a lot of my tank soon :)

Rescue: This was given to me by a friend when it was entirely white. It has now regained some of its color back. The temperature here in the PH reaches 36-37 degrees! Bleaching is a result of warm water.

Frag tank: You will notice the bambams here turned dark due to stress (frag tank has no chiller :P )
