Tapio's reefs

Tapio · Mar 1, 2015

I posted earlier in the Meet & Greet forum this. Here is a little update. Most corals are still small frags and I am waiting for them to grow. I am also still battling cyano both on the sand and rocks. My zeo head friends have almost convinced me to try Korallen Zucht products to get rid of it.

I know a lot of people have problems and concerns with Centropyge. Sure they pick on everything but usually never too repeatedly so for me they pretty much behave like tangs and also more interested in grazing algae off rocks. With enough corals around, so they have a lot of choices to pick on it is not a problem. Currently I don't have LPS or clams but I have in the past and still no problem

The Majestic is safe with SPS, I would not add some LPS and perhaps not clams. The Chaetodon melannotus, Black back is also safe with SPS, but it's natural diet is Sinularia and I would not add clams or LPS. Some other soft corals like Sarchopyton he has not touched. Zooanthids are also safe.

Nice tank, I really like Centropyges. I had cyano problem every other month. Then I understood what caused it. I have Deltec fluidized bed filter and that was the time to change the filter masses. The mass began to vacate all the impurities that it had absorbed.
