- Today we visit a unique style of tank as we carry out a regular service and water change. Look out for this one in the future when it's fully stocked, as it will likely be a contender for our Epic Tanks and Why They Work series.

OMG. THAT sound - water streaming off/down your arms and splashing onto the floor - I am very familiar with that..... It was really cool to see your relief when the morph rock was finally in there, I can totally relate! 😂 another truly interesting and enjoyable video! 👍🏻👍🏻
I was starting to think I wasn’t going to be able to get that morph rock to stick, and that would have been mega embarrassing, so I can tell you the relief was genuine😂
Great video 👍 Keep them coming ! Don't stop till the wheels fall off !
Haha! We’ve got lots more content coming up so the wheels are looking good at the moment😂 Cam
I actually held my breath when you were placing the coral! Fab tank and another great video 👍
Thanks! Maybe if I held my breath when placing it I wouldn’t have needed 3 tries to get it right😂 Cam
Excellent video Gallery Aquatica TV!
Thanks! I can’t wait to do an update on this tank, it’s coming along nicely. Cam
Another great vid👏👏
It’s cool how you don’t edit out the fails, keeping it real. Love your work , cheers 👍
Love how the lights are set up but I would definitely add 2 more of either one. This tank will be spectacular with fully grown colonies. Cool vid.
Awesome video guys !
Great vid mate , really like how you show the way you carry out maintenance and the mishaps as well (glueing the coral) and how you dealt with... thanks
Mishaps definitely happen😂 Thanks for watching. Cam
Cam you are the man! We love your videos. Please keep up the great work, thank you!
Awesome video as always Cam. Really dig that tank. Recently I put together a similar smaller version of this tank in an old AO 160 and drilled out the middle of it for the weir/return. You’ve given me some ideas for tweaking it.
This featured tank looks very sleek! Well done.
With an aquarium that nice i bet they could afford an apex. That could have alerted someone of the empty reservoir and prevented the skimmer from dumping weeks worth of waste back in the water.
New subscriber, i like your videos M80
I totally agree. We usually would have an Apex on a tank like this. Cam
I would have lost my mind with that grasper technique. Very possibly would have left it on the sand and quit my job...🤣 finally got a free day see you guys tomorrow!
NATAL B REEFING It was certainly a test of patience. So awesome to have you visit the store. ☺️
Always thank you for sharing by the way excellent job beautiful reef tank have a good day
Thanks for watching! Cam
Well made video. Very nice setup. Cam, Would love to see an update please
I like this guy and the way he made of his presentation, made me more interested to the sea life which i love, and the aquarium is amazing
Thanks so much Khalid, that’s great feedback. Thanks for watching. Cam
Great vid as always 👌
Cant wait to see it fully stocked
Dropbear RC same! Thanks for watching!
@@GalleryAquaticaTV thanks for the quality content. Im thinking about jumping back into the hobby after 8 years. Watching all your vids 👍🇦🇺
Awesome Tank!!!
Fajne jak zwykle pełen profesjonalizm
Dziękujemy bardzo za pozytywny komentarz!

Hope the glass is thick enough at that height , I remember the Phoenix 700 ,
told him it was too thin of glass and it did break 700 gallons of water on the floor.
Yes, I’ve seen many tanks made with dangerously thin glass but this one is definitely safe. Cam
You weren't kidding about a lot of glue! That must be tricky working with only tongs.
It was a pain in the ass. I actually dropped it 2 more times which was edited out so I didn’t look too uncoordinated 😂 Cam
Gallery Aquatica TV hahah I believe it! Looked tricky!
I thought I was the only one that had nightmares 🤯
Great videos, Just wondering what water you use for your water changes. Is it made up from salt and rodi water or is it sea water that you collect. Cheers.
Great video.. .. where did you get the 180 gallons of new saltwater? Do they have a container on site?
Hi Mike, I carry natural seawater on my ute and trailer, as seen in an earlier video “Acro Dream Tank”. Some clients do have their own water storage, but for most clients I bring all the water required. Cam
Awesome Cam, thanks for sharing. Was that tank in a restaurant?
It’s in a private residence dividing the dining room from the lounge room. Cam
@@GalleryAquaticaTV wow, nice place 👍🏻
What use is the chiller under the cabinet? Is the heat that its expelling not just being absorbed back into the sump water and then back to the tank ?
It’s a Teco 2000. It actually exhausts out of the cabinet and keeps the temp to 25 degrees quite effectively. Cam
Cool dude ... time to grow those arms next time you attend that tank as well lol
I think next time I attempt to glue in corals low down I’ll be swimming in the tank😂
Doesn’t the chiller heat the sump area and thus the water itself?
The chiller exhausts straight out of the cabinet. I wish I’d shown that in the video because until we arranged this we couldn’t control the tank temp. Cam
Makes sense. Super fast reply I’m still watching the video !
Super nice! Quick question: The corals you use are all Australian right? You can't import corals to the reef tanks from other countries right? It's nice to see and recognize corals from your videos, to see they're Australian and see you use them in awesome tanks like these. Like the massive xenia and the green corallimorph.
TattooedDancer91 thanks for the question, yes that’s totally correct. We can only get Australian corals here. This tank is only at very early stages of introducing coral.. we cannot wait to fill it out!
Lovely tank, but howcome most of the tank you show have limted kinds of fish in them?
This tank actually has quite a few fish, but we didn’t really focus on them too much in this video. We probably do look at the fish more closely, especially because the fish in this tank are really nice fish. Cam
Hi, enjoyed the video . If u dont mined me asking i have a 300 liter tank with soft corals. What would you recommend for filtration?i have carbon and run a skimmer at the moment
Sorry should havesaid the tank has a sump
Hi Alex, I typically like to run biological media like Marine Pure balls or the Maxspect Bio Spheres. Check out the videos “Pimp My Aquareef”. We set up a really effective filtration system in that tank which is also 300L. Cam
Thanks cam, have watched them. think I will look at getting a dosing system, i must admit I don't test for calcium and magnesium so will find some good test kits first and go from there.
Thanks Alex
How often do you clean the glass,am and how do you clean it in such a deep tank?
Good question that we forgot to cover... The client does most of the glass cleaning with a Flipper Max magnet cleaner, I think every 2-3 days. We do the substrate line with a long handle scraper. Cam
Magnifique aquarium mais la hauteur reste quand même un petit problème pour l'entretien ...
Merci
Yes, the height of the tank is a challenge. Maybe the next video will be me swimming in the tank to glue in more corals. Thanks for watching. Cam
👍👋👋😍😍🇫🇷🇫🇷
Hi sir my clownfish white spots what problem help me plz
Google “whitespot disease of marine fish”. There are a variety of methods to treat this disease, however moving the fish to a quarantine tank and treating with a treatment such as Seachem Cupramine is the most effective. Cam
All that top equipment and a tank of that volume, that could be so much better than it is, I know you have to have a column to hide the over flow but would be so much better spending all the cash and time and effort on a peninsula, but hey, customer wants customer gets. .....
We didn’t design the tank, we were brought into the job when the glass was in place and the overflow needed to be covered. This tank will be great, but definitely suffers some challenges that a peninsula tank does not. Cam
