    I don't recommend it. I can't see a man being able to get his hands in the back sections for any maintenance. I find the best feature is the light, and it takes a lot of messing around to program it. It is a very attractive tank but I wouldn't buy it again.

    Great video. I have a oscellaris thats a juvenile and a baby percula designer I guess you would say. Its white with orange markings. They dont seem to be pairing. The bigger one keeps trying but not quite as diligently as when I first got them about a month ago. I feel so bad for the female! I am ordering fish now and thought of adding a third baby oscellaris very cheap too at 8 bucks lol . Could that cause a huge problem or should I just wait and see? I have read it can take up to 3 months but in the past I have only bought osselaris and it happened very fast! If they dont pair should I remove the percula? I could put in frag tank! I hate to remove that one since its beautiful though! haha It would be difficult to find another one just like it and try again with that clown! I have read that its not healthy for clownfish to be in the same tank unpaired and they could also end up fighting to the death! Not to mention it breaks my heart to watch them unpaired when the big one wants to so bad!

    Do you know if there is a freshwater version of this? I don't test my water often, but when I do I find the nitrate tests to be the most frustrating to try and match up the colour in the tube to the colour on the chart of the API or Fluval test kits.

  • @HairyTee

    I've been doing freshwater tanks for many years and still have a 125G tank with 12 gorgeous Altum angelfish. I also have a 32G Biocube and in November 2023, I decided to switch it over to saltwater. I loved it so much I purchased an 80G Innovative Marine Reef AIO tank as my show tank in January. It has all the bells and whistles (Neptune Apex Controller, Dos (for water changes) and Trident; Skimmer, ATO, UV Sterilizer). It's a mixed reef with mostly softies, LPS and a few SPS. The Neptune has been amazing in allowing me to stay on top of pH, salinity, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium levels which have all been very consistent and stable. However, several weeks ago, my tank got a bad outbreak of Dino Flagellates. Using a microscope, I determined I had the Large-Cell Amphidinium (LCA) Dinos. A HUGE shout out to Mack's Reef Dinos Support Group Facebook page for their insightful help and support on how to battle Dinos! As I learned, "Dinos" are quite common in new tanks. It most often happens due to an in-balance of Nitrates and Phosphates. I have the Hanna Checkers for Nitrates, Alkalinity and Phosphate. I also have the API Saltwater Master Test Kit. I tested my Nitrate and Phosphate with the Hanna Checker and like you, it read my Nitrate around 20ppm and Phosphate at 0.07. These were not really out of balance to cause the Dino outbreak so I was a bit confused. I then decided to test them with API. My nitrates showed no higher than 10 ppm and phosphates at zero! This made more sense especially since I had some GFO running in my filter. I tested several times over the several days and Hanna always consistently had my nitrates above 20ppm and phosphates at 0.07 while the API consistently had them at 5-10ppm nitrate and zero phosphate. So now I am wondering which test kit is correct? I decided to purchase a third test kit to break the tie and purchased the NYOS Nitrate and Phosphate kits. Guess what? These results mirrored the API test kits exactly!!!!!! LOL So I no longer use the Hanna Checker to measure my Nitrate and Phosphate because I do not trust the accuracy of them. As for the Dino outbreak, I was able to get it under control in just a few weeks. I did this by increasing water flow; lowering Skimmer intake, removing the GFO, only running blue lights (no white light in the spectrum); and siphoning out the Dinos on the sand bed through a 5 micron filter sock and then putting the water back into the tank. I then treated the sand that was siphoned out with Hydrogen Peroxide. I do use the Hanna Checker for testing Alkalinity of my Biocube, ATO and water changes, but that's it! I don't trust the Hanna Checker for Nitrate and Phosphate!
