I have that same cube storage box you have. The one next to the brick wall. I got that thing at ikea like over 20 years ago. I have never seen another one. It was called HOL. I remember that much.

@k4fish84 4 года назад

Beautiful setup! Really did enjoy the video, great content. Wish you much success with your reef!

@atfinthehouse8631 5 лет назад

It’s great when aquarists show evolution of their reefs.

@ReefDork 5 лет назад

Thanks. Glad you appreciate it 👍

Peninsula makes absolute sense to me. Weir is out of the way against a wall you cant peer through. Then its a case of uninterrupted real estate to play with. Good choice! I'm still hunting for a peninsula that's 72x30x24 or one with a coast to coast built in sump (Hmmm)

I used chemical clean and it wiped everything even coral. Then... mystically coral started popping up again. What a cool hobby!

Ha. Same thing happened to my anemone shrimp. He showed up one day missing both claws and one leg. He molted and all limbs were accounted for. Then one day poof. Gone. I think my tiger shrimp my have clicked him. I’ve seen him shoot at him before with no I’ll affects but...

@saltwaterdrew 5 лет назад

Great tank; it looks like your patience is paying off. How have the longnose and flame hawkfish gotten along, any problems?

@ReefDork 5 лет назад

Thanks! They've been together since July and seem fine. Every now and then they sit next to each other but they tend to prefer their own company. I haven't seen any aggression so far.

@JohnG-gu5wo 4 года назад

Hi can i ask why you would regret red and green monti? Thanks great video

@ReefDork 4 года назад

Unless your water quality is spot on, they can look really dull. And they grow fast so can take over. Just a personal preference though 🙂

Reef Dork thanks for the reply 👍🏻

How do you make that stand wave in your tank behind you? I have 2 mp40s on my red sea 250 and want to do it.

@ReefDork 3 года назад

Not sure what you mean? Do you mean how do the MP40QDs create a wave? Set them to short pulse mode 🙂

@ryandraper456 3 года назад

@@ReefDork Ive tried short pulse with both powerheads at 75% power, and it did nothing but agitate the water. What im asking is how do i make waves like in your tank?

@@ryandraper456 it's got to be coming from one side only - have you tried anti sync with short pulse? That's all I do 🤷‍♂️

Not personally a fan of wrasses but excellent looking tank! P.S ever considered a humphead wrasse? xD

@scottmar4357 5 лет назад

What kind of substrate are you using??

@ReefDork 5 лет назад

ATI Fiji white sand - a mix of medium and large grain although in hindsight I'd go all medium grain as it still doesn't blow around.

Where do you tend to source your livestock/coral from?

A few select shops in the south east of England but a lot from fellow hobbyists 🙂

Taylor's Marine Room in Portsmouth is the closest to you I know of that's decent. Reefdreams in Winchester is well worth the trip, as is AAC in Harlow 👍

Do you have any problems not having a cover?

@ReefDork 5 лет назад

I do have a cover - I just take it off for filming so the tank looks better. I wouldn't be without a cover - ALL fish are potential flight risks as far as i'm concerned! Here's the cover I have - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--Co5C6RL43w.html

I think you should have removed that tacky wallpaper before placing the tank in that space. It clashes with the sea theme.

Hate the wallpaper. Peninsula tank is more of a center piece not close to back wall. Never dose directly to main display.
