Hey jay so advice for the nem is not to feed it as much will slow the growth I have a bubble tip on my Zoe garden and they don’t mind all a happy family haha what I would say is keep a very Keen eye on it if moves because if it gets chopped up in wave maker there is a chance it will kill everything but the clowns in your tank.

@jaysrealreefuk 3 года назад
I really appreciate you taking the time to help me with the Nem. At the moment it's stayed put and looks happy! It has certainly brought an added worry 🤣😂. I turn the cheap Jaebo wavemaker off at night and currently the corals are not fastened down, so I can move them out if the way, if it wanders for now. It is stressful though 😂 take care mate 👍
@joshuasaquarium2110
@joshuasaquarium2110 3 года назад
Ok so don’t turn it off but the jebao controller have a light sensor that ramps it down at night the Reason I say this is because nems hate change so change in flow could make it move and to be honest all my wave makers are jebao sine and I have never had a issue

Last week I commented how excited I am for mine arriving the next day, despite my fear of it being a little too small since you have been mentioning it sometimes and I didn't want to limit myself fishwise etc. Long story short, I sent it back and went straight with the Max E170 which I am looking at right now knowing it was the right decision. And on top of it is now a G5 which was definitely not planned, so you kind of owe me 500 bucks :) Hope to get it all running tomorrow. Stay safe and keep up the great videos
@jaysrealreefuk
@jaysrealreefuk 3 года назад
That was a great decision, I would probably say that has to be the best size for a starter tank. I wish I went with that one to start with. The G5 is an awesome light. Lots of functionality and all the corals seem to love it, no matter what setting. What a setup you have my friend. I should of pushed myself to a 170 to start with, but I didn't know how much I was going to love the hobby. Enjoy the scaping and setup. I would love to see your progress over time. Keep in touch and send me pictures. j.staffordgeography@gmail.com. 👍

Great update on the tank. Had a Jebao wavemaker for years, controller can get a bit glitchy every few months but IT Crowd switch it off and on again seems to work. You get a good variety of flow options with them for a good price. Seen lots of people use tights on their wavemakers nem guards but have a search on eBay and there is usually someone who has 3D printed something.
@jaysrealreefuk
@jaysrealreefuk 3 года назад
A few people have said my wives tights would work, if I'm still alive to see it😂 That's re-assuring to hear about the wavemaker. I've been impressed so far. Lots of flexibility over flow patterns. Hope all is good mate 👍

Super as ever! I have 2 of those wavemakers and no bother so far great for the price and doing a great job. As you know I have 3 BT Nems and they are doing great. I do have "The Fear" though of where they might go during the night but so far only a little travelling and all is well. I too am waiting and hoping that my Clown pair choose to live in a Nem but sadly nothing to date but I still live in hope. However, I have 3 Sexy Shrimp that love the Nems and are more often than not found hanging on to the Nems and enjoying the reef life. Take care #YorkshireTea
@jaysrealreefuk
@jaysrealreefuk 3 года назад
Like you say, So far the bubble tip nem has been happy and well behaved. Such beautiful colours. The clowns have showed little interest, but all these things take time. I have no doubt they will find it. I love the little Jaebo for the money, at the moment I can't fault it. I do switch it off at night though! Just have the tunze running. Hope all is well with your tank? Any updates? Take care my friend 👍

@jaysrealreefuk 3 года назад
It's definetely a big risk and a challenge, especially if it wanders and stings the hell out of everything else. Or ends up in the powerhead and wipes out the tank. It's the first thing I look at in the morning. 😂. Powerheads are covered at night, when they are most likely to wander apparently. Really hoping it stays put till the clowns are happy to host 😂. 🤞 and see what happens, it like rolling a dice. You do need luck in reefing aswell. Thank you for following and commenting.

great vid J, interested to know how you got your PH up to 8.4?
@jaysrealreefuk
@jaysrealreefuk 3 года назад
I honestly don't know is the true answer. Dosing Red Sea alkalinity 3ml per day, windows open with really good ventilation around the tank is my only guess. I also used dead aragonite Carib sea sand which if supposed to buffer a healthy pH. These or a combination of all 3 maybe. The pH seems to have the biggest influence on my tank. Hope you are well my friend. Thank you for commenting. 😊👍
@nathanqwerty1
@nathanqwerty1 3 года назад
@@jaysrealreefuk prob good ventilation with tank being right by the window has been the most responsible, nice one, 8.4ph is really good and very hard to achieve for most reefers, 8.1 being the most people can get it to, mine sits at around 8, 8.1 on a good day in summer when windows open. 8.4 will defiantly yield you very good success if all other parameters are in check and stable, your doing a great job buddy and have learnt so much so quick, keep it up buddy, enjoying the channel.
