Thanks!

Thanks Bernadett! 😃

Thanks Jason!

Thanks Emmanuel! 👍🏻😊

Hi Johnny, that’s not a bad idea.👍🏻I wouldn’t devote an entire vid to it, but part of an update. I may have time to do a studio update vid. This weekend. A few cool things have happened and I’m experimenting with a few things. Hopefully up Sunday 👍🏻

Thanks! 👍🏻I will

Corals really bring the reality of the beauty of the reef👍🏻

Thanks Mike! 😊👍🏻

Hi Aquatic Jr. Wow AZ. Nice. I have air conditioning in the room and a ceiling fan lightly circulates the air. Keeps everything around 77-80F. Good luck with your 5 gallon! 😊👍🏻

Thanks my man! 😊👍🏻

Thanks Eric!

You probably do it’s not as time consuming as you think

Watch more vids MrRandal! 😃

Thank you!

Thanks! Not sure why I missed this?

Thanks!

Hi Bobby, happy to encourage you 👍🏻😊

It’s a solid oak table I reinforced 😊

Hi Joe, 2 Ai Prime Sol, 1 Ai Prime 16 HD, 3 Kessil A80’s

Hi Aaron, different choices depending on what you want to spend. Check out Aqua Illumination lighting.

Thanks Appreciate it Nice looking fish tanks

Hi Jack, I average about 20% monthly on each tank.

Hi Pauline, you should start fresh. Sorry. Anything that would kill what is bad in those rocks will also kill what is good, and you don’t want to chance any bad stuff surviving. Good luck

Thanks Datvan!

Maybe $150 if you use a really cheap light 😊

Hi Adam, I try not to keep track😊however I did build the 75 gallon tank myself. $900 for low iron glass cut to size. I did the rest. 👍🏻

Scrape it off almost daily 😃 if your nutrients are low, you may find scraping it less. 👍🏻

Hi Dat, 3 Kessil A80’s full intensity. 3 Ai Prime Sol, 60% B 60%RY 60% CW

Thank you thank you I appreciate this info. I’ve always struggled to get the perfect lighting on my reef tanks.

Hi Sam, the top shelf has some reinforcement down the middle. I show you what I did in a full length vid. It’s 9: 29 in here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FCUOdXW8HiA.htmlsi=UG2qPglerc2HHYEd The shelf for the 20 gallon didn’t need any reinforcement

Hi John, I don’t feed anything to the corals, and I’m only dosing kalkwasser in my ato top off. Small amount.

Thanks Philly Cheese! Start one up! 😁

Hi Dave, I’m not really set up to ship stuff. It would probably cost you way to much with shipping and stuff?

I feed them Selcon soaked SA pellets. 1.2mm They get soft and I feed with a pipette.

Hey Joe, sounds like you have a case of diatoms. Diatoms are not really an algae, and they don’t just arise with new tanks. Diatoms are competing with bacteria for surface area. Blackouts don’t help. It’s possible, although your tank is a year old, you may have made some changes that may have stimulated diatoms to start over again. Let them run their course. You can siphon them off if you want, but don’t disturb the sand. They will starve themselves off over time. It may take a few weeks or more. Your tank may be really clean as far as nutrients. Skip a water change or two if that’s the case👍🏻

@@TOMReefer thanks! This is why you’re one of the best reefer youtubers!

Water change once per month, filter floss in the overflow box, and Instant Ocean Reef Crystals Salt mix. 😊

Yes, it’s gone now

Hi Nadhir, over time sandbeds can be a source of increased phosphate. Regular cleaning of the sand bed can slow down this increase, but in my experience, after removing sand beds, phosphate levels are reduced.

@@TOMReefer Thanks for replying Tom . If you don't have a sandbed , how do you compensate the bacteria farm ? Do you have external sump / refugium etc ? I'm planning for a 5G tank . Only with LPS and gobies

@@nadhirarahman8767 hi Nadhir, if you are starting your 5g with seeded live rock (cycled already with bacteria) then you don’t need any additional bacteria source. The live rock will provide enough. 👍🏻

Thank you mate . Have a great year ahead

You as well 😊

Hi trob, Its a Fire Digitata Montipora sps.

@@TOMReefer thank you

Hi William, it’s solid oak. I reinforced from underneath. Had it for years now😊👍🏻

Learn to be 😃👍🏻

I work 😊 not 9-5 though😉
