@@sauceyreef5166 no, I never saw them split! Some of them have gotten quite large now.

@@so_so_reef Any recent videos of them I can watch? If not please make one!

@@sauceyreef5166 I’m not very good at making regular videos! I actually shut this tank down and upgraded it to a lagoon style peninsula nano. It has a lot more LPS and gorgonians.

@@so_so_reef your aesthetic and coral placement is miraculous. I would really love to see, and I am sure some others would also! I have some nanos also and really like your tank. Are the clowns still making it?

@ thank you! I’d like to say it’s all planned but I tend to just move stuff around until I’m happy with it. I post a lot more on instagram under the same name. I will try and make some new videos soon! Yes, the clowns are still with me, enjoying the new tank.

@@HectorO I can just peel the Xenia off the rocks pretty easily. In fact I was able to remove it all when I got bored of controlling it and it didn’t come back. The green star polyp I kept on a separate rock and it would grow along the top of the sand, so it was easily to snip off with scissors.

@ thanks!

What are your levels do you dose reef care?

@ I put,magnesium,fusion 1$2,iron,potassium,trace element,amino acid,coral nutrition,coral food. Other corals are doing fine=duncan,candy cane,pipe organ,setosa montipora,gsp,acan,favia,hammer

@@IndoorEcosystem thanks! It now has fish and shrimp, I need to do an update.

@@so_so_reef I'm looking forward to seeing it!

@@queencityreefs thanks! Hopefully next one I'll be soon.

@@tobis4076 honestly not sure! I'd like them to be about 10-20. I should check what they are on this tank.

It's really cute and tiny!

@@MichaelPybus I'd love a double pair, so a mated pair of shrimp and mated pair of goby! But let's see what I come across.

@@moereefer wow 13 years! I have a candy cane pistol shrimp in my main tank that is about 4 years old and he refuses to pair up with any fish I've tried to introduce 😅 I always think he can't live much longer but sounds like he has some years ahead of him!

@@IndoorEcosystem thanks! I googled pictures of their natural habit and it's surprisingly sparse. Let's see if I can resist the temptation to add coral 😅

@@so_so_reef It's always tough not to add something with a splash of colour!

@@IndoorEcosystem hoping the fish and shrimp will bring that! I plan on perhaps a pair of Yasha gobies, with a candy cane pistol. I'm hoping the contrast of the white and red against the stark scape will really make them pop and stand out.

@@hakmanp.8702 I agree! I think I'm using the word more loosely than the freshwater people, who get very specific with their scapes. But still, I think in general there are not enough niche aquariums in salt water.

@so_so_reef Well, there is Biotopes and Biotypes. Maybe it fits more into a Biotype then.

I now have four and I run them at 100% on reef crest mode!

Thanks!

Thanks ✌

Thank you!

I'm amazed they're not talked about more. Real life saver! Thanks for the kind words!

I love the light in theory, but I struggle to recommend it full heartedly because the fan is quite loud. This tank is in a room where it doesn't bother anyone but I wouldn't be able to stand it in a busier living area! It's a shame as other the light is great!

You mean between the sand and front glass? This is really normal to have, I don't think I've seen a mature tank without it. It's not necessarily cyano, it could be beneficial bacteria, like purple non sulphur bacteria. Every now and again I might scrap it off but in general it doesn't bother me. I wouldn't treat for it.

@so_so_reef Thanks for the info...Glad I didn't treat my tank...Man I gotta tell u your tank.is amazing ...What's the name of the coral you have on the back that looks like a super big Gargonia...

@@milkspotscausemetospazzout6813 no worries and thanks! The big green one in the back left is a green Kenya tree, then the rest along the back are all different types of Gorgonian 🪸

@so_so_reef thank you,I have asked people on many videos and could not get a response for the longest time.. I'll be looking for one of these soon

@@milkspotscausemetospazzout6813 you're welcome!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Oh gosh, that's such a big question! My advice would be to use live rock if you can. I set this tank up with live rock and added corals and fish within a few days. I also included a bit of cycled biomedia from another tank. That meant it was cycled essentially straight away. I obviously checked there was no ammonia or nitrites before adding livestock. But other tanks I've done the classic cycle and the only thing you can do is test frequently, go slow, try and get a bit of live rock in there if you're using dry. Keep your lights off for the cycle. You should definitely give it a go. Best of luck!

I will double check but I think it's about 100 on the sand bed maybe 250 at the top? But will confirm. I just rip the macro out when it gets too big.

The tank came with a light that I used for about 6 months without issue. It grew coral for sure. After I added the anemone it was always stretching for more light so I decided to get something more powerful. The K7 is very powerful - at 100% it gave me 4000 PAR at the surface on this small tank! I like the light, the only criticism is that I think the fans are quite loud. Others have said the fan noise is not that bad, so maybe I got an especially noisy one.

@@so_so_reef Thank you for the reply ! I think i will go with the k7 mini. Its exterior will probably fit much better than the k7 on my 20gal cube.

@@ccn5065 good luck! Finding the right light can be a challenge

Thanks! Yes same name as this channel :)

Just from another reefer online. Are you in the UK? Just pulled a load out.

Yes I am in the uk been looking everywhere for some

@@leeandmandybattersby5958 are you on instagram? If so you can message me there or on ultimate reef, I can post you some.

That’s great thanks

About 16 US gallons or 13 imperial.

Thank you so much! So apparently Fiji has opened back up and we should be seeing them much more regularly again. I must've got some of the first to be imported in years.

Bought my first Fiji in years the other month. I'm about to buy my second one. Advanced Aqaurium Consultancy in Harlow UK has been getting then in at around 70 quid. They have a very large range of basically every coral you can think of.

Sorry not sure which coral you mean!

I use a reefloat. The video before this one gives a review of it! I trust it completely.

Thanks for pointing that out, site is closed until Feb. 1, will visit when open again.

Thanks! Good luck, I think softies have more variety than people make out.

@@so_so_reef I'm just looking for less drama out of them to be honest 😅 They seem pretty chilled.

@IndoorEcosystem definitely! This tank is very easy.

I dose 1 ml of reef zlements nitroplus on about 50 litres

Thank you!

Thank youN

I read this too. I was thinking about putting one of the Fiji yellow leathers in my sps dominant tank but was advised against it for this reason.

@so_so_reef i read some more I have 100rds of discoma and rodactis and hairy rodactis I got a tank full of sps and lps I read its the lether coral family Alcyoniidae and others
