- We join Chris again as we finally get to see his impressive 190-gallon aquarium, an amazing mixed reef that is seeing a lot of coral warfare. Like his 65-gallon tank, which also hasn't had a water change in nearly two years, this behemoth of glass and water harbored a dark secret-it had it out for Chris! Learn what it takes to run a bacteria-run tank and the dark side/dangers to the reefing hobby!

This reefer definitely knows what he is doing. Pulling all those amazing colors without water changes its pretty outstanding.
Thank you, ICP test and correction doses for the elements that are off is required. You have to replenish what they take out.
@@hebert70543how often you do icp test ?
Yes he puts the time in to make sure everything works well
Fenbendazole is supposed to work to kill Clove polyps. I only have experience using it to Kill colonial hydroids. It is harmful to inverts so when treating a main display all inverts should be removed. I've used a double dose with no ill effects to corals and fish. Thanks for showcasing Chris tanks. Amazing job Chris. Keep up the good work.
It’s works and only kills cloves including gsp
This is the correct answer. It works really well! I would be careful of any soft corals like leather, toadstool, or gorgonians though. I’ve heard from several people that it will kill them. It will also kill a lot of bristle worms and snails.
There’s an article by a guy named “max draco” that has details on effects dosing, timing, etc.
I've heard about this a few times now. Might be something to look into 🧐
How do you use it ?
@@desertreefer8003 If you search on R2R there is a thread on this. It's named: "Here it is! Fenbendazole use against hydroids" These are the instructions I used for colonial Hydroids. Not sure if it's the same dose for clove polyps.
It was worth waiting to see the next episode! Awesome job!
Thank you
Reefing goals for me !!!!! Absolutely gorgeous ,your set up is straight fire 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amazing for sure
Greatly appreciated. Hopefully one day I can do a follow up and show off some massive colonies 👍
@@hebert70543 yes !!!!!
Chris’s tank looks amazing. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the tour Vic.
Thank you, much appreciated 👍
Thank you for watching
Your welcome! You keep watching, we keep making them!
I knew the cliffhanger was another beautiful reef.
Gotta keep the suspense going!!!!
Gorgeous tank!!
Thanks for watching!!!
Amazing system, Chris! We all know the type of dedication it takes to run a reef like that. Keep us updated once in a while. Maybe Vic can come back once a year lol.
Thanks for the tours and sharing knowledge with us all WWC.
I am sure that we will be back in the future for an update video. Thank you for watching. Don't forget to like and subscribe!!! 😁
Wow, again, man, this guy is my idol lol! I've been in the hobby since 96 and have often thought about a bacteria only system, I just started a new set, and this is what I'm gonna shoot for! Thx for the inspiration! Kudos to you 👏
I just tried to keep is simple. I wish you the best success with the new setup 👍. I enjoy the bacteria side over all the techno reactors and gadgets. I've thought about the bio-pellet reactor but wouldn't try that unless I added more fish to get nutrients to start rising.
@hebert70543 Thanks, man, I appreciate that! Tank finished cycling about 3 days ago, and I'm using pns substrate sauce to bring nitrates down before I add 2 banggai to start with and go from there to see what happens.
Sounds like a plan. I have no personal experience with the pns sauce but one of my friends used it like you are planning and it worked for him. 👍
Happy you enjoyed it!
Thanks for watching!!!
Fenbendazole will take care of the clove polyps. I’ve used it on my tank. It will however also kill turbo snails, GSP, n gorgonians
But it works
There may be other corals affected as well.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
😎😎
Thanks for watching!!!
Orpheks is underatted and it is one of the best.
Those gonipora are no joke 🤯
They are stunning for sure!
I have heard tuxedo urchins eat the cloves and keep them in check. In future I'd like to purposely add them... think they add nice movement in an SPS tank
We have heard that, Not sure how true that might be
Beautiful tank thanks for sharing constant warfare , that’s good
Thanks, glad you liked it. And yes, it is a mini ocean war zone, always trying to keep the peace as they grow closer, LoL
That's the competitive life of the ocean, being displayed in your aquarium!
Very informative, thanks guys
Thank you for watching!
Of course, thanks for watching!!!!
Nice reef tank for sure
Yes it is
Sure is!!!
Been waiting for this one 🤙
Thanks for watching 👍
Thank you for watching.
Hope you enjoyed it!!!
Add urchins for those clove polyps, if you want to avoid chemicals
I have a black rock urchin, he don't touch em
@@hebert70543 tuxedo urchins
We have heard this, Not sure how true it is.
I liked for the meats! my fav. coral too. wish they where frag-able someday we will hoe to breed them in cap.
There is a guy that has successfully fragged them in half, Im just not that brave.
😎😎
To get full coverage, he just needs to raise the lights higher. And 2 units side ways would be enough for that tanks. Icons put out a lot of par, that's why raising them higher would be better and will get full spread
I currently have them at 18“ after that I start getting a lot of spill outaithe tank. The original plan was to run them lengthwise with the tank but the lights together without the space for their wifi antennas was more than the inside length of the tank. Plans are to build a floating canopy off the wall to mount the lights in with a separate outlet to eliminatethe sight of the cords 👍.
Also tried to mount the outer ones sideways but the rail bolts do not allow for that configuration without having individual mounts for the lights.
@hebert70543 do you know what optic came with your fixtures. From what it sounds like. 120 deg optics. If so. You can get the 90 deg optics, which will allow you to raise the lights higher and even out the spread. You might have to lower the intensity. The 99deg optics will raise your par levels. .
Thanks for bringing up that point. Often we buy lights and are limited to what they come with. I had forgot the Orphek offers the different lens options. I will be looking into this. 👍
@@hebert70543 no problem. I love orphek lights. They have a new update coming out soon that gives more options with the light cycle and much more.
Can we talk about the Sniper behind victor😂
What sniper is that? lol
@@WorldWideCorals behind his flag haha
@@paulrod53 Good eyes. It is a lamp that is made out of pipe fittings. Try Googling pipe fitting gun lamp.
Amazing, but we never heard what was his phosphate and nitrate levels
We will see if he can jump on and let you guys know.
this guys goated
Appreciate the comment 👍 I'm still learning something everyday. This hobby definitely keeps you on your toes

Holy smokes... I bet the sparks flew then. 😮
