Good to see a long update. Your son is getting so big. That tanks seem to be hitting their stride. Sps is exploding. I remember back in the day when you were not wanting to keep sps now you look like a pro.
Thanks man, it seems like as long as I could keep the main parameters steady and just let the tank do it's own thing, it stays on course. Maybe I should carry the same energy to child rearing instead of micro managing, lol.
I can’t believe how much you boy has grown. Yeah for a deep diver on automation I have the mastertronic and alkatronic and I’m always interested on how others find them.
Yay new video! CoralVue does have very good customer service. I used to have constant notification from the powerbar but since the new house and upgrading the netgear orbi I haven't had a notification for months. This go around, the satellite orbi unit is hardwire (cat6 cable) to the main unit instead of depending on wifi. I wonder if that made a difference also.
I just ordered the hydros pro package with the xp8 and x4. Can’t wait to get it. There’s not a lot of info/review on the hydros and i’m sure a lot of people would love to see a full review/ how to use video of the hydros on your channel!
Happy to dive in a bit deeper on how I have my Hydros set up in a future video. Like kiddt said, CoralVue does have a lot of nice tutorials out on their channel if you're looking for something specific!
Man I'm just here for the content and to learn. Talk about whatever you like, you said many moons ago that this channel was to document your own reefing journey!
I thought they are reef safe and would pick at sponges (though I have heard of them potentially picking at corals); I would love to try a pair in my tank but my tank may be too small for them. 😢
New to saltwater aquarium, you definitely made me order some books lol! Your aquariums look amazing. I just ordered a 100 gallon reef tank. I’m going to take my time with it.
So beautiful to see Leon going from a crying baby that you almost couldn’t film with him in the same room to enjoying the hobby with you and being able to talk to you and know what the fish are and putting them in the tank. Good job daddy have a good Father’s Day this Sunday you deserve it
Just a note on Hydros wifi power strips. I have five running. Never an issue. I have had two five hour power outages and I didn't have to push any buttons for the power bar to come back on.
I have a softie tank that get’s no maintenance whatsoever from me and it honestly does much better that way than when I’m constantly trying to control everything with it. Dosers with the main requirements and some good, established LR and it’s pretty much set it and forget it, minus the top off obviously.
I'm doing the standard way, mix up a batch of fully saturated Kalk, let sit for half a day before use and only use the top, clear part of the solution. I continuous drip/dose it at night when the pH is lower in order to flatten my pH swings. Only issue is with my ATO, it kicks in during the day to replace evaporation so I keep adding freshwater into the tank as I dose Kalk.. I need to adjust my salinity every few days. I may try to find a way to only have the ATO run during a specific period of time.
The hydros should be capable of regulating the ato around the kalk dosing volume. Might need to switch to hydros components for the ato and need at least two sense ports
I really like the individual hydros wifi plugs with my controller. They also do power monitoring. Are you pulling the alkatronic data into your hydros app? Looks like you have a lot of open spots on the x4, need to get into the 0-10v! Check out JB aquatics for accessories for the controller
Had same issue with hydros but my controller wouldn’t execute. No heater or nothing would work. Tried everything sold it and got an apex. Have been happy since. Also my sensors (ATO and Skimmer) both rusted. I don’t get how the skimmer sensor rusted since it barley touched water
Sorry to hear about your Hydros problem.. I haven't tried the Apex and I know it has a huge following for good reason. Crazy how the sensors rusted though since they are supposed to operate in water? I have both and will keep an eye on them, thanks for the heads up and glad that you found the system that you like!
@@InappropriateReefer I know! I think it’s a great system I just got the bad batch probably 😂. I hope you and your family are doing amazing and also congrats on your wife’s and yours new pregnancy!
I love fintastic. Really one of the best reef stores in the area. The tanks are looking amazing! Hopefully mine can one day reach this lvl. I started based off your budget reef series (still use that same light) and have gone to a mushroom heavy reef
I cant believe I watched this man get married, have a kid, and now his child speaking words....just amazed how time passes

Your son is adorable. It’s so cool that you are getting him interesting in your aquarium
Been awhile, welcome back
Thank you sir! 🙏

Congratulations on your 2nd child coming . And your tank in the basement looks amazing .
Tank is looking incredible, can’t wait to see it over the next two years!!!!!
The man that got me into reefing with his budget reef setup.
I feel like iv watched you build your hobby amd family over the last 4 years

I’m glad your back missed you Sunday videos!
It’s like I’m watching you and your family grow. That’s crazy.
Reality TV sort of way? 😉 Thanks for following along all these time
@@InappropriateReefer yeahh sirrrr!! 😂
Good to see a long update! Your tank is reaching a nice stable and mature stage. Hoping for my tank to do so as well soon.
Thanks Chris, and wishing the best for your tank too very soon!
I just ordered the hydros pro package with the xp8 and x4. Can’t wait to get it. There’s not a lot of info/review on the hydros and i’m sure a lot of people would love to see a full review/ how to use video of the hydros on your channel!
Check the Coralvue TH-cam channel. They do alot of videos on setting up and using their controller. I actually live close to them, small world.
Happy to dive in a bit deeper on how I have my Hydros set up in a future video. Like kiddt said, CoralVue does have a lot of nice tutorials out on their channel if you're looking for something specific!
of course i’ve already looked up their channel!😃 I just love to see how “real reefers” do it!
Love seeing these long videos. Always look forward to seeing one of your video updates. Tank is looking great.
Tank looks great! Really filled in well. Super active with that group of fish too. The torches and branching is crazy.
I like to see how that chalice and Master Yoda turn out.Ur tank looks really nice.
I will keep you posted -- thank you!
bro the goldenrod exploded wow!
It's liking the tank! I need to pull some more frags from that guy!
Thank you for making a video with everything you got going on! We appreciate it! 🤙🤙
Mr Leo..all grown up !! Nice work y'all 👍
Man I'm just here for the content and to learn. Talk about whatever you like, you said many moons ago that this channel was to document your own reefing journey!
Do you think morish Idols are reef safe ...do you wanna experience it on your thank??
I thought they are reef safe and would pick at sponges (though I have heard of them potentially picking at corals); I would love to try a pair in my tank but my tank may be too small for them. 😢
Great video! Thanks for the updates. Can’t wait to get the x3 and xp8 combo once it comes back in stock
I have the disconnect issue too with the Hydros but it seemed to go away. Maybe a wifi problem at my house??
Do you mean you had the issue for awhile, but they are no longer happening?
@@InappropriateReefer that is correct. It rarely alarms. Strange
New to saltwater aquarium, you definitely made me order some books lol! Your aquariums look amazing. I just ordered a 100 gallon reef tank. I’m going to take my time with it.
Still want to see some details about that green monti near the overflow, on the rack by the cloves!
Congrats on your upcoming kiddo#2!
congratulations on baby #2
Do the videos when you can, no rush
Thank you! 😎
41:07, dragon slayer acropora??? Looks exactly like mine if that is what you have.
Carolina Reaper? (the center one, pale green with a hint of pink at the tip)
Hey thanks for the review of the Hydros. 9 months later still like it?
So beautiful to see Leon going from a crying baby that you almost couldn’t film with him in the same room to enjoying the hobby with you and being able to talk to you and know what the fish are and putting them in the tank. Good job daddy have a good Father’s Day this Sunday you deserve it

your goldenrod anacropora is getting HUGE!
i am always skeptical of removing media especially if the tank is doing fine
I have a softie tank that get’s no maintenance whatsoever from me and it honestly does much better that way than when I’m constantly trying to control everything with it.

I missed your videos
Great video. Thanks for sharing this ❤️❤️❤️
He’s alive!!! Was gonna put out welfare check with the police 😂🤣. Nice to see a video finally. 🔥👍😎
😂 Thanks man, if you don't see me in 2 months... send 'em in!
Dude is that the new new radion over the tank with the mangrove??????
What method are you dosing Kalk via?
I'm doing the standard way, mix up a batch of fully saturated Kalk, let sit for half a day before use and only use the top, clear part of the solution.

The hydros should be capable of regulating the ato around the kalk dosing volume. Might need to switch to hydros components for the ato and need at least two sense ports
+1 to more data logging and historical reports for the Hyrdros!!!
Hi could you tell me what percentages you keep your different colour channels at and for what intensity?
Thank you
For your sps tank, thanks again
Any thoughts to why your Xenia is pulsing so well in the mangrove but not as good in the sps tank?
Great growth. I am really interested in dosing kalkwasser. How much are you mixing per gal? And what are u using for trace element
Great video Moki! I havn’t seen any of your videos for a few months, is everything alright?? 😀👍👍

I can’t imagine maintaining a reef with two kids. It’s hard enough for me with just one!
Hook it up to 2.4 ghz wifi and you wont have any problems! That's what fixed the wifi for me.
I’ve read hanna are releasing a magnesium tester.
Wowsers 150 for an orange Yeayamensis, my customers acted like I was was asking for their firstborn when I was charging £35 last week 😅

🙏
I swear by my Santa Monica scrubber. Hog 1 x I think?
Why buy a fish you likely will not see once in your tank? And to pay that kind of price to boot?
Router / WiFi booster nodes
That anacropora 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Don’t we all think these prices are crazy yet?
A 1-2” animal (ie: torch etc) for $250! This is absurd, sorry.
SPS are looking great Mok-Yi!
Thank you Keith! I'm trying not to mess with them too much!
you wanna touch?.......no lollll..smart kid
I can’t believe they told you it’s too close to the tank lol
Long time
It has been a minute or two 😆🙏
😂i dont do none of that i dont check nothing i have a 220 reef mix saltwater tank 😅
What's the point? How much was it?
Jokes... laughing...no answer
Equipments? Which one? Happy to answer specific questions!
45 minutes?! Even at 2x speed that’s a looong video, the content may be great but I’ll never know.
Pros know that all gadgets like printers use 2.4ghz which is what these out of date devices use. POS devices!
Nice vid! Are you popping to RAP NY?
