Hi Guys,

In Australia we only have 1 large company mass producing aquacultured frags. This blue Acropora Miliepora is from Oceanarium
Oceanarium - Marine Aquarium Supplies

So is this

And this is their yellow tipped S.Hystrix. This grows REALLY fast

This is the best Maricultured acro I have ever got. It hasnt lost any color, and IMO looks better now than when it came in...

Random shots...

Oh i forgot... I set up a frag area in my sump recently... still playing around with that though.

Oh and I also saved this from the live rock bin at my LFS!! a few weeks in the frag rack and it should color up. :thumbsup:

Thanks for looking guys.

Wow this is a great system! Very unique in the aquascape and I like it!

Great looking tank, fish, corals, etc. I can see how you are returning the water to the tank from the sump, but not sure how you are getting the water from the tank to the sump...

Any suggestions or tips on keeping your moorish idol alive?

Looks like there is an overflow along the entire back side of the tank.

Hi Iiluishi, my current stocklist is; 3x yellow tangs, 1x Moorinsh Idol, 1 x Flame angel, 1 x Dottyback (unknown ID), 2 x green mandarin (dragonets).
I am currently saving my beer money for a mystery wrasse, and I hope to one day introduce either a regal, or a navacus angel to the system. :thumbsup:

Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Tonya. Im glad you enjoy!

Thanks revtree. Due to the shallow tank the scape really only is rocks placed so they have minimal footprint to allow for minimal detritus build up areas. :thumbsup:

Hi Geneboom. There is full length calfo overflow, with a syphon directly to skimmer (well not all the syphon, due to tunig issues some had to be diverted into sump), and a durso is directly into sump.

Any suggestions or tips on keeping your moorish idol alive?

Well not really, all I can say is my moorish ONLY eats Nori or cos lettuce, it wont touch dry, frozen or live foods. He is only fairly new to the system, around 3months old. so im afraid i wouldnt be able to give much credible advice Im sorry

Welcome, man your light fixtures are awesome...:smile:

Thanks Larangon, one of the 'pro's of being an electrician I guess

Send us some Aussie acros!!!

Lol send me some Montipora Digita frags and we can talk! LOL. M.Digita is impossible to get here, our import laws prevent importation of any inverts oh some florida rics would be good too

Yes what cymaster said and by the way nice tank you have there!

Thanks Eric

Tank looks great!!!

This week I have managed to aquire some gear that is normally out of my price range! A good friend had all the gear to set up a really good system, but has decided to part with gear, and leave the hobby for now. Anyway, I have aquired a 10 x 54w ATI powermodule plus 15 ATI tubes, and a TS24 kit! My friend was very generos in offering these items to me at a very cheap price.
Anyway the tunzes are on, the old korallias are out as we speak. Jeez those tunzes move some water, ive had to turn one side down to 80% and the other down to 60% to prevent corals getting blown over in my shallow tank!
Anyway I just need a free moment and a strong friend to help and my DIY/LED will soon be replaced by the ATI powermodule. I love my DIY rig, but the PAR this ATI throws out is insane.

I also got a nice pair of mandarins since my last update, and some nice zoas.

This is the male..

Thanks for looking guys
