Hello,
I'm Marco from Italy.
I live in a little town near Turin.
From a lot of months I read your forum.
Now I want that you known me.
My tank is 75 gal + 20 gal of sump and 50 kg. of liverock.
I have only SPS and a few LPS.
Tecnichal equipment is:
- skimmer Schuran Jetskim 150 with Aquabee 2000/1 and ozone (Sander) in aspiration.
- Ca reactor LG700 loaded with jumbo.
- 1 Vortech MP40 and 1 Tunze Stream 6000.
- light selfmade 8x54 T5 with neon Ati and air cooling very hard (I hope that you know).
- Aquarium Controller by Aquatronica.

Tank started on december 2006.

Every week I change 3-4 gal of water.
I usually use salt Red Sea Coral Pro, Kent, Preis or Tropic Marine.

For the invertebrate I use only Kent Phytomax/Zoomax/Chromax and Coral V Power Preis.

That's all.

Next days I will try to put also some photo.

Have a good day

Marco

	SPS Small Polyped Scleractinians - Sometimes known as Small Polyped Stony corals. These are hard corals that have extremely small polyps. They are typically on the difficult side and require Metal Halide lighting or dense Power Compact or T5 arrays. These corals are prized for their rareness and ability to be easily fragged into multiple colonies.

	LPS Large Polyped Stony corals – In the aquarium hobby this is a common division of the species of stony corals based upon the visual assessment of the size of the polyps. Corals in this category were among the first stony corals to be kept successfully in captivity and include many very beautiful species. Commonly kept Genera include Euphyllia (hammer/frogspawn coral), Favia (brain coral), Plerogyra (bubble coral), Lobophyllia (meat/tooth coral), and Caulastrea (candycane coral). LPS corals also include the popular solitary non-colonial stony corals such as Fungia (plate coral), Cynarina (button coral), Trachyphyllia (open brain coral), and Herpolitha (tongue coral). Like their SPS counterparts, LPS corals require good water quality, intense lighting of the appropriate spectrum, adequate water movement and regular supplementation of calcium.

what means pics ?

I have 1 Zebrasoma Scopas, 4 Clown Fishes (2 of them make eggs every 2-3 weeks ), 2 Chrysiptera Hemicyanea, 1 Sinchiropus Splendidus and Pseudocheilinus Hexatenia.

The chemical value of water are:

Marco, your English is a lot better than my Italian. I was in Italy for a week in February, and if it wasn't for the fact that everybody spoke English I would have been lost.

Welcome to Manhattan Reefs, it's great to have you here.
