Great vid. Speedy recovery and look forward to future videos! Much better watch with the horizontal recording! We're just about to go away too for a birthday outing and again abroad end of September. Always scary leaving the tank along
@IAmTaii cheers 🍻 thanks for the comments and support Yes, leaving the aquarium is always drama and worry. But usually, this is the worst thing that happens : the skimmer gets full or the heater stops working. I learned my lesson last time and set up another controller for a spare heater a few degrees lower than my main heater in case it stops working. The Ato to make sure you have enough RO water on hand and made for when you get back.

Loving these videos! Been watching every one that you upload recently. I'm getting a Reefer G2 300 very soon (Awaiting aquascape and lid being made). Only thing I'd suggest is if it's possible to record horizontally? Bit easier to watch that way too.
@IAmTaii Thanks for sharing and the advice on camera. Please share the G2 300, I would have loved to get that tank but struggled to lift this tank up 3 flights of stairs 😀
@reeferexplained8846 Can't wait! It'll be replacing a 4ft tank currently though. Your tank has made me want Alveapora or Goniopora instead of Euphyllia. I'm just worried as I read and watch a lot about their care and wouldn't say I'm experienced as only been in the hobby 12 months.
I have bought a lot of tech for my tank over the years, most of has been utter cack. I have been through pH probes, heaters, temperature controllers and the most expensive kit was a multi-tester. However I do love my Clarisea filter roller, my Tunze ATO, Tunze powerheads, my Seiche pump and my deltec skimmer.
@@reeferexplained8846 i run full spectrum from 10am till 3:30pm, then from there my whites fade completely out from 3:30pm till about 6 pm. Then lights out at 9pm.
If you have to use all of these chemicals then you need to change what you are doing. I have been in the reef keeping hobby for 20+ years. The only “chemicals” that I use are kalk and CO2 media. I have a mainly sps tank with a couple of hammers and soon to be gone mushrooms that has been running for 9 - 10 years. I don’t even have a mechanical filter. I have a skimmer, uv light and that’s it and my water is as clean / clear as can be. I prefer my tanks to be as natural as possible.
These are standard products harmful to the reef tank. They are there to help you not be a blocker. It's a closed box of water, not the oceon. I use the carbon to help clarity of water. The rowaphos may not be required. Thanks for your advice 👍
@revZ098 apologies for the wrong words used. I meant to say that once levels of phosphates rise to replace it. RowaPhos has the largest absorption ability of any phosphate product worldwide and will not leach back into the water. This saves the need for immediate removal once the media is exhausted. The product is easy to use and will improve the water quality wherever Phosphate or Silicate is a problem
Glorious Goniaporas. I have the Glow and the Grow. Try Mobius as a controller for the Blades, it has a good LPS spectrum set up, that works for my SPS as well. I went away to work, a frag of my goniopora dropped off its location and landed upside down on the sand bed. A month later whilst cleaning up my tank I spotted this particular frag plug. There was a tiny bit of flesh left. I put the frag some where safe and shady on the sand bed and to my surprise it is growning back!
@@reeferexplained8846 Give it a whirl, always found AI app a bit basic.When you have your lights connected, look for template, and the Growing LPS template. All you have to do is select the intensity.
Interesting to see you are also having to let a little water trickle down the emergency drain. I have this tank also and this is the only way I can seem to get things balanced. Trying to set 10mm down as RS suggest does not seem to work. Looking through the forums, it seems to be the consensus that you have to use the emergency drain for a small amount of flow. Great looking system 👍🏻
If you want to know the flow rate, you can grab a 1 gallon or 1 liter empty bottle. Time how long it takes to fill up and multiply it by 60 and that will give you the gallons/liters per hour rate.
Yep, they really bent over backwards to help and were patient when deciding which tank to select. Happy with the Reefer 250 g2 much better build quality
Seems like a very expensive solution to only run one test a week? I've purchased and plan to do two a day to track impact of rowaphos and feeding. Question what tracking you'll get with just one test a week. Thanks for sharing the video!
The schedule 📅 originally was once a week to compare the results as a baseline. Now testing twice a day 8am - 8pm to make sure steady amounts of phosphates in the tank. The phosphates are now being dosed daily at 4.5ml a day by reeffactory X1 pro doser.
Tanks is looking great!! I just got the reefmat recently in my e260 and it’s amazing.hoping to add some corals in the next few weeks.keep up the good work!
Do you not strain the water from the mysis etc before applying to the tank. I found that the merky water is a farm fir nitrate and phosphate causing tank levels to be higher.
