What do you guys think of an all Euphyllia/Fimbriaphyllia dominated tank? Do you like the design or do you miss the diversity of a mixed reef?

@bbqking7869 2 года назад

That is what i am trying to establish in my Red Sea 525..

@livereef434 2 года назад

I really like the look of "flowing" coral

@bbqking7869 2 года назад

I want this for my tank.... please give more advise on how best to achieve this type of tank..

@Joseph-pr2lq 2 года назад

Thats my reef tank and so far its low maintenance.

@Lsthnbrd 2 года назад

It’s a cool tank because of the movement and color of those corals, however, for the average reefer, a euphyllia/fimbriaphyllia dominated tank is very expensive in today’s world. If you want any sort of color and size, you’re looking at $100+ right now and the most stunning of torches are approaching $1,000 dollars

@MicrobiusBlue 2 года назад

Love the purity of this tank...so calming and beautiful

@TrickyMickTrucking 2 года назад

This would be the ultimate tank to eat every meal around. It's so interesting and peaceful.

@Swampyballs69 2 года назад

About 3 years ago, before the changing of the torch,hammer and frogspawn name. I learnt first hand that they don’t belong together… in my 20g I had this amazing garden at the time. About a month after getting this big hammer colony it started to reach my torch. Without them touching it burned the living crap out of it! The torch is fine and healthy. Nice lesson, from that point on I didn’t keep them close anymore

@garettellenberger908 2 года назад

This is exactly what I tried to create in my tank! Sadly though back in Dec I had a bad tank crash due to not dipping 1 of my corals and it contained red flat worms….. so I’m now trying to slowly get back to it but still hurting from the last attempt.. Can’t wait to see yours grow more though!

@wtfr3nch 2 года назад

Nice work. Good job keeping torches alive. Especially keep up on your water changes and magnesium level. Looking forward to more updates!

@francisgarcia565 2 года назад

Love your videos very helpful keep up the good work

@meakin2424 2 года назад

My million dollar question is with the lower flow how to you keep the bases of these torches free from detritus and other build up!?

@Messier87_M87 2 года назад

Fimbriaphyllia Ancora are my favorite of the bunch, they seem to color up more under higher intensity light for me. Thanks for the update!

@kenyattawilliams5217 2 года назад

Really appreciate this vid. Will try and lower my pumps and see how they react.

@wrxnfx127 2 года назад

Awesome 👏🏽

@Dan-tb1zf 2 месяца назад

Than how do you get the torches to extend straight up? Is there a bottom up flow source? Very cool.

@douglasachaiba7885 2 года назад

Euphylia also benefits greatly from higher magnesium levels. .... 1450-1500

@idontwantahandle231 2 года назад

Those tanks are something to strive for! How do you keep such crystal clear water?

@henryorcustus3412 2 года назад

A few additional tips for Torches & Hammers: 1. Don't feed it any pellets. Torches are known to brownjelly right after eating pellets. All Euphyllia contains brown jelly bacteria. 2. Torches from different regions fight other torches. Make sure when you are putting together a torch garden, place similar polyp-shaped torches together. Do not mix Indo torches with Great Barrier Reef torches. Indo torches can mix with WA torches in general though.

@wtfr3nch 2 года назад

Thanks for the info - definitely send your source, or note if it was anecdotal for your next post. Lots of pet lives at stake here haha

@Ellery-USA 2 года назад

I think you just convinced me to re-scape my120g from a Montipora dominant system to a Euphyllia/Fimbriaphyllia system. They are all overgrowing my 40 Breeder which has been growing like gang busters with just 1 wavemaker and 2 Kessil A80s so this would be a nice swap since I don't want to have to upgrade my ReefBreeder Photonv2 to something more to handle Acros and other SPS since I already have 3 tanks like that already.

I have been shopping by web and store. I found a treasure of a store, Reef Corner, 70 minutes from home. Finally, one thing that costs less here than the USA. Corals. Gas and diesel are double, household utilities x10 to x20, corals 1/4th to 1/2. Even Euphyllia, but they are rising with popularity. My aquarium is SPS dominant so no ultra long sweeper tentacle corals are going to be added unless grow out shows space for them.

@bobpurcell3814 2 года назад

Thanks for the great info! I am researching setting up my first reef tank, and am very intrigued by these corals. What coral is zoomed in on at 6:21, just before the feeding segment?

@shutuponions 2 года назад

Octospawn!

@nucciboy1 2 года назад

I’m getting close to moving out or selling my few sps in my tank and sticking with euphyllia based

@Cavegeckosol 2 года назад

I always opt for less flow rather than more. Even for torches. In my experience, especially for specimens within the first 6 months of life in the tank, any damage to the flesh like that caused by high flow opens the coral up for various infections. My euphs eat whenever I feed my mandarin. The food is so small that some winds up in the water column. So far, they like TDO pellets, cyclops, and small brine shrimp. The powder foods like reef roids kinda just slough off of the polyp and never get eaten. It may be coincidence, but I saw massive growth in the euphyllia after I got my mandarin and had to feed it these suspended foods.

Cool

@geznico2082 2 года назад

Hi , big fan of your channel. I've probably watched every spotlight video multiple times.. I just wanted to know how to promote growth in torches and hammers. I've had mine for almost a year they are happy and eating reef roids regularly, however they don't appear to be growing. I would love advice on how to get some more growth.

@isiheisenberg4784 2 года назад

are there any aggression between duncan corals and hammerheads/frogspawn or can i create a little garden

@peterperez4493 2 года назад

I’m working on a tank like this

@Lsthnbrd 2 года назад

I have found my euphyllia/fimbriaphyllia do not subscribe to one category of flow intensity but instead like variability in direction and intensity. They like their tentacles to move one way for a couple seconds, then another way for a couple seconds. They like to move slow and graceful for a bit, then really whip around for a bit.

I have 110 gallon 4 foot tank dedicated to mostly torches and elegance. I have a single clownfish and a single blenny. For me, fish are just extra bioload that I'd rather allocate for more corals. Especially the elegance that eat a lot.

@ericgasparro2545 2 года назад

I have some issues with certain euphylias in my tank. Most look great, some stay quite retracted and all the param's are stable and in range. Can never figure it out.

@JER-mw6md 2 года назад

Beautiful tank. You mentioned low lighting but what par do you actually consider low par?

@tidalgardens 2 года назад

50-100

@jameswithers3066 Год назад

I have a radion G6, on the RMS mount. When I run the Ab+ even at 20% on 47cm high tank, they don't do so well they start receding after 2 hours or so. When I put the slider in the mobius app to run at 14000 Kelvin everything does really well, and if I try to run any bluer they will recede again. If I wanted to run the AB+ would it be best for me to raise the height of the light and if so what would you recommend. Thanks for any input.

@Wangsium 2 года назад

I saw from a video that magnesium should be high for hammers and frogspawn. Is that true?

@Grindcorpx 2 года назад

Look at than flexing on us with all of his yellow tangs 5:20

@DanofEarth 10 месяцев назад

im wanting to do something like this in my 3 foot 65 gal tank. i have a pair of radion xr15 G5 pros and a single. I know its specific to each individual tank but im wondering what you might recommend as a good starting point for a lighting schedule. I see lots of people like the AB+, but beyond that im not sure in terms of spectrum and intensity. As for flow I have a single mp40, and no matter what I feel like im whipping these guys around too much. If I lower the power I feel like im not keeping the junk suspended enough. any tips would be greatly appreciated!

@brittanymaichuk253 2 года назад

Is it okay to dose Reef Nutrition Coral Ab+ and/or reef roids? This is basically my tank

@dayankkumarasinghe 2 года назад

Can you please do a video about "Is it safe to keep a reef tank with kids?"? I just got into the hobby, but I have a young toddler and I am very much worried about palytoxins and other issues. Thanks in advance!
