Due to being a moderator on a busy uk reefkeeping forum I don't get much time to frequent all the old forums I used when I first started up. Here are some recent pics of my tank.

It is now 1 year and 2 months old.

The tank is now being dosed via the balling light method using Fauna Marin balling salts and Fauna Marin Ultra Trace B elements added in with the balling mixes.

I was using cheaper salts as well as cheaper carbon/phosphate remover however since switching back to Rowaphos/Rowacarbon and the Fauna Marin range for balling my tank is looking much better with both good growth and colouration.

It is still running sumpless with a Tetratec ex700 external filter (housing Seachem Purigen/rowacarbon/floss) feeding my phosphate reactor (running rowaphos) and my UV.

I also culture my own pods/rotifiers which I harvest and add to the tank once a month which has led to a huge increase in pod life in my display.

As well as the balling light I still dose:

1.5ml Korallen Zucht Coral snow every other day
1 drop KZ Coral Vitalizer on the days I add the coral snow
40 drops of Pyhto concentrate every other day
1 drop KZ Amino Acids on alternate days to the coral snow/coral vitalizer

Anyway here are the pics:
