    Fabulous work, the elevated structure above the sand bed is masterful.

      Thank you very much! It worked quite well, fish have room to swim as the acros grow upwards.

      Thank you so much! I like to let them grow but the Aspera (green one) is getting out of control and needs a trim.

    • @JorgeMacedo
      @JorgeMacedo  2 роки тому

      I love bird wrasses, I had a couple, but sooner or later they all end up trying to eat smaller tank mates , so no more bird wrasses for me and if I am not mistaken I gave the sailfin to another reefer when I bought the powder blue as the sailfin would end killing the pbt . I know the sailfin was in the tank long before the ptb but to be honest the ptb is one of my favorite fishes and this one is a beauty.

      Muito obrigado Flavio. A rotina é a mesma, no entanto em Novembro do ano passado cheguei à conclusão de que aditivos acabam por ter efeito negativo em acropora e tanque em geral, desde então não adciono nada, apenas o Balling da Fauna Marin e trocas de àgua, de resto tudo igual.
