Wonderful tank. A question, do you shake your zeolith in the zeovit reactor?

Hello everyone, New Year new photos

What is the coral on the second picture? I have a very similar specimen in my tank that was a random frag from a lfs. Here's a picture of mine. Thanks!

Yes I do. Usually I shake them after lights are gone, free food for corals

I wish I could answer your question. I don’t know the name but for sure some guys on this forum know.

Friday’s update. No skimmer, no hassle, no problem

My corals love proteins Is it really necessary to remove them from the tank?

Reefs looking great! What is your equipment list? Do you use a grounding probe for electricity?

Love the pictures, keep them coming!

Thank you.
My equipment list is pretty standard except protein skimmer. Unfortunately I do not use probe for electricity.

Also, in the last photos you posted, I see stags with normal growth tips. Do you no longer have rabbit fish in the tank?

Thank you.
I have a very sad news. I have lost battle with AEFW. I started chemical warfare and all my corals, sponges have passed away. At the moment I got FOWLR. I have to rebuild biology. I set up 300ltr cryptic refugium box, filled up with Fiji shelfs dry rock. Lucky I did not lost any fish.

So sorry to hear that Jacek. These are the trials of being a reef keeper. Think of it as an opportunity to confirm your approach to keeping SPS. Previously you grew into your current technique after the standard approaches were not bringing the results you desired. Now you can just implement your technique right from the start.

I look forward to seeing the results after the rebuilding.

Hi Jacek,
Very sad to hear about coral losses, but these things happen, even to the best. Your philosophy and style at sps success inspired me, and certainly others. I looj forward to your next adventure, kindest wishes to you and yours
Cheers
