    Luna...

    Thank you. The partial changes are made a week. The cleaning of the skimmer I also try to do in the moment of the partial changes.

    Thank you gentipora. The star polips in this new aquarium, are not growing so much.
    That happened after me to have used for one week Kalkwasser, and for that I stopped with the use, and no more they grew.
    The other sleeps, it is in a friend's house and him is 5 years old already set up. This new one, due to the assembly system, I can only say that now is stable. And starting from this moment it is that it is more complicated, because it shoots the growth.

    Baugherb, Thank you.
    I have in my aquarium, a same montipora the one that you have in yours. She is fastened in the high, in the tower of circulation of the aquarium.

    The montipora digitata glued in the glass and it is being same to a Caprocornis.

    Thank you Peredhil, my camera, is not good and I have to remove a lot of pictures to take advantage some of them.

    baugherb, was very good you to have put the link of the pictures in the signature.
    I saw that you have a rio Skimmer. Here in Brazil we do have this skimmer, does he work well?

    Yes I understood what you wanted to say.
    I asked because a friend owner of a store here asked for me to bring one for me to test, but my aquarium náo has space to do the test.
    And, as I saw that you use in the aquarium, I decided to ask. Thank you.
    I will say him that the skimmer assists the need.

    Here in Brazil the price is a factor that complicates, because skimmer always arrive to a high value, for the that intends. And, knowing that one can wait for something, a lot of times even it compensates. Once again thank you.

    the tank looks awesome. Very COOL assembly. You did a great job. I have a 6g Nanocube and one of the biggest problems I have had is the fact that it does not have an adequate skimmer...so seeing one built in is awesome. I have actually taken the 6g down because I was tired of the little useless skimmer.Your corals look awesome..you def do have a green thumb. My star polyps are not growing at all in my 135g. I was told it was due to not having any nitrates in there....so I guess that can be translated to the better your water quality, the less the stars take off. They did well in my old tank (oops..guess I had nitrates), but now they arent. And I do have zero nitrates in my tank....not sure how true it is...but I like to think it is

    again, sweet
