In August 2008, the launch took place... :-) Size 1700-820-850(height) 3 MG 400w and 2 T5 80w for 4 Tunze, 1 Deltec. Equipment: Skimmer - very poor, I don't even want to mention the brand. Reactor - Chinese... the brand is the same as the skimmer :-) but I can't really complain much. One breakdown in a year (pump). Refrigerator. And that's it :-) That

Jennifer9100

Beautiful!!!!!!! The fish look like they are painted.

Mario

It's clear about the beginning, but what does everything look like now?

Yolanda

I would like to see how things are going in your aquarium today, send some fresh photos.

Jeffrey6189

I don't even remember how small the little corals were and this is not the very beginning I'm glad that you finally brought this aquarium to light

Deborah2682

I understand you decided to stretch out the pleasure. Let's have some fresh photos.

Stephanie9175

I won't rush. If I post fresh photos, the interest will fade... I was actually curious to look through the old photos myself...

Jeremy

To be continued... Just a month after the launch, the corals showed growth. I only monitored calcium and KH. I didn't add anything to the water; I did the first water change three months after the launch. The entire system operated on a reactor and a skimmer. As I mentioned, the skimmer is very poor (to put it mildly). There is constantly a suspension in the water, and then bubbles appeared on the rocks. I think the skimmer is not handling it. But that's for later. The main thing is that everything is growing, and this is noticeable even to those who see the corals every day. P.S. I forgot to mention the auto top-off Tunze!

Jonathon8514

Spring 2009 Practically nothing was added to the water. The problem that is still being fought today is Aiptasia! I just can't get rid of it... In the 4th photo, from October 10, 2009, and today in the 2nd photo, the same coral. The difference is 3 months.

Alexandra

Hello! Like you, I struggled with aiptasia until I bought a Helmon. Two weeks after the purchase, all the aiptasia disappeared from the aquarium, both big and small. I'm interested to see photos of the aquarium as of today.

Michelle13

Hi Denis! Today everything is the same, just the corals have grown a bit. Helmona fish is good, but rare... in Kyiv. Moreover, I'm not a fan of fish that aren't acclimated, my reef is too precious to me. There is another problem... During the light period, bubbles appear on the rocks. I think the skimmer can't handle it. Other reasons don't come to mind...

Eric5208

If there is food for Aiptasia in the water, it is difficult to fight it. Only a helmon or about 10 shrimp can help. What else is there besides the skimmer? Algae eater, mechanical cleaner, anti-phosphate, etc.?

Elizabeth6302

There are shrimp... 5 pieces, apparently not enough. There is no more equipment!

Heather9815

What is the dynamics of the aquarium's condition - does it mature and become cleaner, or do various unwanted things like aiptasia, planaria, cyanobacteria, etc. start to appear?

Debbie3587

Why don't you change the penny?

Jill9137

Nothing is happening... the iphtasia is not increasing, planaria and cyanobacteria are not appearing. All the corals are feeling great...

Bryan1851

I'M WAITING They should bring it! Oh, how I wait!

Gabriel

I understand that the shrimp you have are not the right ones. You have camels that only eat zoanthids, but you need peppermint shrimp, which look like camels but eat aiptasia. Helmon fish are not rare, and they are available in every shipment. You shouldn't worry about the reef; nothing bad will happen to it even if you introduce a sick fish. In good conditions, and judging by the photos, they look good, any fish will quickly recover and won't get sick. What type of sea cucumber are they supposed to bring you?

Dana6523

Dinis, it turns out that Helmans are made to order, at least from the batch you bought, all were made to order. And after placing the order, I'm already waiting for the second month, but they promise in a couple of weeks...

Gene1948

Shrimp are just what you need! Royal-Exclusiv skimmer. It's hard to buy something from the supply... you know that.

John3165

Royal-Exclusiv is a cool thing and costs a fortune, but why did you decide to go for the branded one? Right now, we have homemade ones that are just as good, and the prices are much lower than the branded ones, with quality at the highest level.

Randall7906

I sold a couple of corals, and now I have money for Royal-Exclusiv. I respect DIY projects, but I don't install anything homemade for myself. After studying the reefcentral forum, I decided on this skimmer.

Dana6523

You just need to order the desired animals, and there will be no problems.

Tammy

My opinion cannot be considered outdated... I support everyone who uses homemade equipment, but I don't like to pay twice, and even less so three times... I don't earn that much. I formed my opinion based on studying the reef central forum...

Wanda666

What model did you order? It would be nice to test it and post a small report... I could adjust the devices...

Beth3383

Royal Exclusiv Bubble King Deluxe 300 Internal Skimmer As soon as I have it, I will let you know...

Anthony

I have the same one, just different. I wonder who plagiarized from whom)))

Erica752

The most interesting thing is that the pen is just as good, but it is four times cheaper.

Todd

price comparison in the studio please. I don't believe it's 4.

Kimberly2102

In this photo, the pump is Red Dragon 2. Did you take it with you??????

Jeffery7866

Yes! Of course!

Mariah

If we take this price, then it's 3.5 times, this is with the regular Red Dragon (Laguna).

Selena4467

Well, no ... way Serious apparatus

Andrew7823

And what about minus 19% tax and the dealer price?

Scott8536

At customs???? Well, it will be two. And how much did the second dragon cost???

Diana8604

We won't discuss customs... When I have it, then there will be a price. For now, I can't say anything...

Danielle9144

I would be afraid to not take such expensive things. If the pump breaks down tomorrow, who will I complain to??? Maybe the store will agree to replace it, but again, it takes time. With my friends, I can at least call and vent, and I think they would organize something the next day. But here... On the other hand, once we bought it, we bought it. It's a strong thing.

Jennifer5784

The pump is not a problem; there are such pumps in Kyiv. And the internal parts of the pump should always be kept as spares.

Chad9037

no.. wrong approach... A person wants to pay good money for something... so let them pay... You don't show them that an alternative can be made cheaper, better, more efficient... And in general, it's high time to write "Made in Ukraine"

Amy9618

class

Ryan2281

I will close the discussion about what should have been bought. photos 1 and 2, the difference is a year.

Debra

I see that the seriathopora is priced differently in various places!!! And what does the sponge have to do with it?

Nicholas

the place hasn't changed... the pin does not have any relation to her.

Andrew4194

Good evening. Tell me, what tuning models do you have and are you satisfied with them? Are they worth the money or not?

Jill9137

Tunza is a very good brand, or rather the old pumps are great... now the quality has dropped and everyone sees it. (This is only regarding the streams; Tunza is number one in the world for auto top-offs.) The old pumps operate quietly, and one has failed in a year. I am currently planning to switch to Vortech MP40W pumps. I saw a lively discussion about these pumps in a neighboring thread, and here's the video; I think everything is clear.

Jeffrey496

Aquarium today...

Michelle9986

Worthy of admiration!!! A couple of questions: what salt is used for the work, how is the water substitution carried out?

Christine

Very beautiful...

Sara

Thank you! I used Tropic in PRO-REEF until recently. About a couple of months ago, I started using Tropic in BIO-ACTIF. I rarely do water changes, twice a month for 40 liters.

Joseph9057

Here comes the new pen... Now the question is how to install it.

Nicole263

It's a pity that the unannounced model actually arrived; it would have been interesting to see.

Rodney3101

It's a pity, a pity))) Considering how hard it is to get these things in our country, we'll test this one for now...

Jessica

Good device! Congratulations on your purchase! It will be interesting to see it in action.

Nancy

send a rotameter??????

Joseph2576

, but is it needed?

Wesley

In principle, they can be trusted at their word, the parameters they claim look plausible.

David953

Sasha currently has very impressive pens; he never stands still, and his pens get better and better each year. Just take the last pen he made recently and compare it to the one from a year ago—the difference is significant. This is not an advertisement for Sasha.

Cassandra1840

No one claims that Sasha has bad pens, but the quality of Royal Exclusiv has exceeded all expectations!

Mike

For some reason, I feel that you will still become my patient. You probably won't fit this..., but we can make an 80W from a 250 pipe on the Lagoon, it will easily fly in, and the parameters it delivers are almost the same as this one.

Cheryl

By the way, for the sake of having a good thing, one can also create a new SAMP, upgrade it, and at the same time bring everything else up to the RE standard.

Andrea

I want to congratulate you on the purchase of a truly impressive device! It's a cool beast! As for the skimmer on ium, maybe it's for the best that it wasn't purchased... there are just too many questions regarding the pumps of the new series. Once again, congratulations on the great purchase!

Beth3383

Since the original photo is taken from here, it would probably be interesting to see other photos as well, as well as to read how they (the R&D team) addressed this issue, so to speak, comments from the first person (Klaus Jansen).

Leonard

Heh... this is NOT the only problem (I think you know that)... as for the "first person," believing him is deceiving oneself... he swears that the pump is made in Europe, although it's obviously not true. I don't want to clutter the topic with information, but there are more than enough complaints.

James

I also pleased my aquarium with KZ products ZEObak+Coral Vitalizer+Amino Acid, and the corals are unrecognizable... I hadn't complained about growth before, but KZ's chemistry is impressive, very impressive)) All the corals are reacting... very positively! The results are visible the very next day. Next up is Coral Snow, ZEOspur.

Joshua

Guys, the photo "was" and "is"... but I can also say that I caught a catfish weighing 30 kg on a fishing rod.

Martin3206

What to show in the photo? How did the corals release their polyps? How well they are doing? We haven't deceived anyone and we don't plan to!!! I think many already believe it. Tomorrow I will post a photo, "a couple of happy corals," unfortunately the cable to the camera is in the office...

Steven7574

An extra photo won't hurt the situation. And two extra photos can make Pavlik happy, not to mention myself.

Brandy1134

And I WANT) But seriously, how did the improvement manifest? Did the color show up or did the growth increase? Can you provide more details?

Alicia5489

It's too early to talk about color and height. Here is the photo.

Christopher1774

Can we have a general view, just not in the actinic light?

Leah

I don't have any actinics. In the evening, I will try to take a general view. The photo shows the corals as they are. I haven't edited the photo.

Joseph9057

I have nothing against it) It's just that many take photos in incandescent light to enhance the color. But I want to see the result under daylight. Although, to be fair, there are daylight bulbs with 20000K. But there's nothing you can do about it here)

Marie5735

Can I have the full name of the acropolis in the first photo?

William1830

I don't know. Today, the Royal Exclusiv skimmer was installed... I will post a photo of the work of the real "Exclusiva" tomorrow. From the first minutes of operation, it is clear that there is NO better skimmer available today!!!

Tonya

photo report of the first 5 minutes of Royal Exclusiv's operation

Kimberly4253

However, you have water... not spring water, there's a lot of crap accumulated... And what was standing before it??

Breanna9982

Sanya... don't ask what it was like... a Chinese one... I knew that water is not a standard of purity, corals are doing very well, so I wasn't in a hurry to get a new skimmer. Apparently, the rocks and sand were taking on the job of cleaning.

Frank7213

I wonder how the corals will react... I think it will be noticeable.

Jessica8898

At 100 watts, the Laguna has three liters of foam and 2000 liters/hour of air intake... the result is not bad, but not Olympic.

Scott8536

And what, 1 Vortex replaces the entire set of tunes.

John3335

If only!! I think 2 - 3 will replace it. Vortex provides a very soft and powerful water flow.

Brenda

How much do the tunes cost and what is the set?

David

Yes, I looked at the Red Dragons in Moscow, the pump is much larger than the Ascol's, and the body is similar. I finally understood why the Red Dragon lineup differs in power from the Lagunas.

Alicia5489

When I decide to sell 100%, I will let you know...

Crystal4879

In any case, this is Askoll, one or the other... Royal Exclusive is not a pump manufacturer; they only modify them.

Chad9037

What is happening now? How does it work? Is there any doubt about the correctness of the choice?

Jonathon8514

The beast works, all doubts disappeared the moment I saw Royal Exclusiv in person. Very high-quality product.

Heather9815

Should the coal be laid with the Zukhtov's gadgets?

Angela6489

It is advisable to use coal continuously, in small amounts.

Sherri1320

+1000. The only hassle with Vorteks is that you can't use them everywhere.

Pamela

How are the colors and height? I'm planning to take amino acids as well. So I would like a review.

Erica

Thank you, everything is very good. Amino acids are a very good and necessary thing, but we also need a tank, snow, food, etc. Everything works in combination. Next on my list is spur, but I can't seem to make up my mind...

Jeremy

If you had shown the photos, I wouldn't have been offended.

Keith7534

5 minutes ago))

Rachael

Yes, you have big problems... Corals need to be thinned urgently. I can help.

Robert5335

I'm not against it... You can come yourself with clippers and thin it out.

John3335

Many people asked to post a photo of the skim that Royal makes... here it is!

Sarah

Seriatopora is simply amazing!!!

Chad4168

It's strange how your lighting is directed - it doesn't hit the background?? Or is it intentional?

Cynthia

This is one of the reasons why everything needs to be redone... The photos were taken with T5 lamps, which are located on the front glass; they do not illuminate the back glass. Adding more T5s for the background is not possible... the LED lamps are in the way. At the same time, many people like it, as it creates the impression that the aquarium is very deep (not in height).

Christopher4108

What kind of light would you choose now if you were to change it?

Jonathan6173

I would exchange it for 10 pieces of T5.

Gregory

What's the problem then, change it. With your width, it will fit 12x80W as well.
