    Great looking tank. I would recommend moving the elegance coral from the rocks down into the sand bed if you can. They tend to do much better in sand.

    Really neat! Love that elegance. As already mentioned, I would move it to the sand.

    Thanks alot for your comment.

    I was wondering about the elegance coral best position , i asked my LFS and he said it really need good lighting as well as water movement so keep it in the meddle of tank like how i did , specially that i don't have wave maker till now :( . so i keep it in the meddle as of some movement from the water coming back in.

    Beside the second day i found it looks happy and healthy with the position i'v placed her in.

    So you still thinking i should move it down to the sand bed or keep it in the same place till i bring the wave maker ?!?!

    Thanks again for your support , it means alot ;D

    Thanks alot for support am glad you like it . ;)

    Thanks alot , the design of live rock was pain in the a$$ , when i have started i bought 30KG which my LFS thought it will be enough , but after he place it with some unexperiance design i didn't like it at all , so came here , searching , googling for decoration designs and what fish like , went to LFS bought another 25KG of nice live rock just arrived from Indonasia and re-decorate the whole tank which have a nice looking , but it will limit recatching any fish out in the future unless i use a trap ;D but i like how it looks like a maze and i can see how the fish like it so far.



    Thanks alot for your support , still more coming but am taking my time before bringing any new thing now , knowledge and step by step as i learn from other's mistakes. ;D

    Ok first Questions is about feeding :-

    so i have the 3 above food types , the question is :-

    1- is it enough for what i have ? and if not can you please provide me with the right stuff
    2- how many times a day/week should i feed them / type of food and quantity ?
    3- as my diving and fishing experiance , i know that fish eats normally early morning and evening (which is the right time for fishing :D ) so is it a MUST to feed them on those timing PREFARED or it dosn't matter ?

    I will be waiting the answers of these questions then i will move to another topic .

    Thanks alot again for everyone who made this hobby easier safer and not too stressful.
