Thank you, I have a lot of flow in the main tank so it would have to be special grade and pushed to the back of the tank.

You’re right about the jet washing, I was thinking about doing a deep sand bed in a separate container in the sump, still on the fence with that one, not sure if it would be worth it.

Thank you, I added the mandarin after the purple tang, it was one of the last fish I added. They can hold their own against other fish when healthy.

Thank you, check out my other videos, it has the light schedule at the end of the tank tour video.

I Don’t feed the corals much, some Ammos acid once a week like Red Sea AB+. Yeah the fish do the rest!

@ did you notice some difference on this ab+? What yout balling brand?

@Dibilibix27 not really tank looked better when I didn’t use it! I was using ATI for 2 years which was very good kept everything very stable when doing equal amounts of both, hard to get now tho. Now I use reef zlements 🇬🇧 which is very similar, so far so good. Easy to use and cheap ICP also look good.

@ the g3s are how old? And do you run uv 24/7?

Check out my channel, I have more videos! Only used the uv for the 1st year 24/7 then took it offline.

Thank you for watching, next time get them straight in!!

Your right a lot of people over complicate this hobby before learning the basics, all colonies where grown from small frags in this system.

Thanks for watching, you are right if you know what you are doing.

Glad you enjoyed it!

About 17 mostly small fish , and a purple tang.

Thank you

Thanks, I didn’t use any bacteria, I seeded it with the live rock, sand and corals. I think there is plenty in the live sand.

Thank you

Thank you, check out my new video on how to set up a reef tank. 👍

Thanks Mo, me too my first tank had an under gravel filter! If you keep things simple less things can go wrong.

I think the UV helped with that at the beginning and by not testing P04 and N03 I didn’t worry too much about it, I didn’t add anything else to the tank apart from frozen food, just kept it simple. The tank needs to grow something, that’s why I added the corals so early if its not growing corals it’s growing hair algae and other stuff you don’t want, I also think a lot a reefers over light there tanks with LEDs.

Not all dinos enter the water column. I just purchased a new tool for sand bed dinos. Google sand bed uv sweeper ​@@marinereefer1664

Thanks for sharing, I didn’t add anything else, no pods or phyto, all the pods came in from the live rocks. It all depends on the dry rock as well how much phosphates in it. I think it helped soaking the dry rock in Rodi water.

@@JenniferPyman thank you for watching

Thank you, This goby isn’t a sand shifting one, classified as a dragnet fish, and doesn’t require any sand. I think the coral it likes the best is the big chalice, raja rampage grows like a weed.

Or the encrusting monipora coral, which is a rainbow phoenix.

Hi mate, thanks for watching.

Thank you kindly

Glad you like it

Thanks for the feedback, I will but the filter on next time.

I use reef zlements uk brand, but before that I used ATI and before that triton mn. It get used up by the tank pretty quick, I think they are all pretty close. My Goniopora struggled until I dosed mn and it was instant results.

Thanks for the feedback, I did it all on my iPhone so didn’t look as bad on the small screen. I will use the orange filter next time.😅

It looks just fine on my phone. Absolutely no issue seeing 😊

Thank you, slowly getting there! I can’t believe this many people are watching it!

Yeah they are awesome fish. I need to get this one a partner!

I do rehome some corals! in the Uk, my email is on my channel home page in the description. Please drop me a message, thank you.

@ Thanks! Will do

I still feed the fish frozen every day which they must get some, I meant I just turn the pumps off and over feed the tank once a week to get the food on the bottom, wouldn’t do that every day. I also should have said they need a mature setup. But I did have a mandarin in a 100l nano for years with live rocks and clowns which was my favourite tank. Thanks for watching and check out my other videos.

Thanks for watching, they are also my favourite fish, such characters and they both have jobs of keeping pests out of the tank.

That’s funny we may have crossed paths down there, I’ve just recently retired after 26 years, so have more time on my hands now. Thought I would try and make sense of the name, you were paying attention! Yeah getting that footage was pretty tricky.

@@marinereefer1664 I suspect I was a few years before you. My time was the Falklands, NI and the first Gulf war, leaving at the start of the second Gulf war. I started reef keeping early but gave it up due to moving around, and the way they were catching the fish. Things have changed now for the better I am please to say. However I do think some of the LFS need to be a bit more particular about who they sell fish like the Mandarin and the Moorish idol to. Seeing your fish peck around the coral for frozen food is fantastic. About a year ago I bought a couple of Molly Miller blennies as they are epic Aptasia eaters. My tank was almost over run with them. They dont have swim bladders so they can't stay in the water column very long, boisterous fun fish though.

Yeah, a little before my time!, same it was hard moving around and leaving the tank long periods with the mrs. Little easier now with all the dosing pumps and tech! Luckily haven’t had a problem with aptesia thanks to the copperband.

Thank you they are just the standard wreck fish anthias squamipinnis, 5 females and 1 male.

*Wreck fish squamipinnis

Glad you enjoyed

Check out my other videos, I have a tank tour which shows my lights and at the end is my schedule.

Thank you, I will let you know when I do! You can keep your kidney!🤣

@@OnTheRob yes, I just add 1ml once a week. I have been doing this for 2 years and it never shown up on an ICP test.

Wow 1ml a day how big is your system? Mn is a must with Goniopora, as soon as I started dosing it the gonis took off.

@@marinereefer1664 330 litres, I think its an element that gets used by a lot of LPS. My tank is predominantly LPS.

100% Thanks for sharing.

I think so too! Especially the Goniopora!

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching

Yeah it’s all good really, not to bother with the high P04 and N03 as the corals look good. 👍

Thanks for watching, I just sucked them up with my turkey baster siphon tube shown in my video on how I maintain my aquarium.

That’s awesome thanks very much, I should have said does anyone know what it was.

Thanks
