That's a good tip on the timing of the maintenance. I always upset my corals. The best step by step video for weekly maintenance. 👌 So glad I started with the Tropic Marin Pro Salt, its so good.
Yeah I love it, its easy to get here in the UK, from everything I've read and from testing it myself it mixes fully in around around 20mins, I leave mines a further 30mins after that then add it and it works perfectly.
Thank you, yeah I noticed that the video picked that up but in person I cant see it, will need to double check that next weekend when I do my water change again! It's the AI Nero 3 wavemaker that I use.
Hi Ross, Enjoying the videos 👍🏽 I have the peninsula 25. When you do the water change, have you thought about just attaching some tubing to the pump in the bucket of new salt water and pumping it back in rather than scooping in with the jug?
Hello mate, thank you, yeah thats how I used to do it mate but the little pump took a long time so I found it quicker just to do it with the jug, some people will find the pump easier tho! 👍
Loving the videos 👊🏾 How you finding the Aquati RoDi system? Would you recommend it or get a different one if you were buying one? I'm also looking to get one.
Thank you, im not just saying this because they sponsor me but I honestly do love it, its a brilliant unit, well made, priced really well, customer service is brilliant, ive had no issues with mines at all, it makes the water perfectly and is 0 TDS every time, cant ask for any more than that, and like I've said in the video you get 10% off when you use my code, also it's free delivery too, I certainly wouldn't buy another brand! Hope that helps, if you have any questions at all just let me know! You can reach me on Instagram! 👍
Hi Ross, Could'nt see from the vid, Did you remember to switch the wavemaker off before lowering the water below it? Or does the water not go below it?
Thank you very much, I have properly cleaned the rear chamber once in the 7 months I have had the tank running, I have also cleaned the pump once in that time too!
You will not regret it, I done a video on this a while back if you check out my other videos, im sure it was the 20lb bag I got and use around 2/3 of it
Hello. Didn't you have problems with the water level in chamber 3 where the pump is . I changed the socks because was getting dirty so quick. And was blocking the flow water to the other chambers. I put some floss just little bit and after one day is the same. In the chamber 3 where the pump is sitting is no enough water . The water pump is on half power . What else could I do ?
Easy big man 👍 I'm using aquaforest salt but want to change it and the tropic marin is what I've been looking at,have you tested the alk on a fresh mix ?
That filter floss you use would you recommend because im using blue bonded filter pads and cutting them but it keeps clogging up the first chamber and the ato is going crazy, and i think the filter floss is an issue?
I just use standard aquarium filter floss mate, comes in a big roll and is pretty cheap, really good for the tank, yeah sounds like yours could be clogging up a little
Great vid Ross. I really enjoyed that. Brilliant idea with the compressed air. I will be ordering a can of that. My fans are caked in dust 😀
Thanks Neil, yeah its great for cleaning the fan and the guard on it, just don't do it over the tank haha! So many uses for it around the house too!
Fantastic video Ross, I just love how detailed your step by step guides are. You really go that extra mile and it is much appreciated, thank you 😊
Thank you very much! im glad you enjoy my videos, I try to make them as simple as possible and hopefully easy to follow.
Nice walkthrough of your maintenance, really interesting 👍
Thanks mate, will hopefully be able to show any beginners like me how easy it is!
Awesome man!!! Videoa are getting better ande better!
Thank you so much! Means a lot!
That's a good tip on the timing of the maintenance. I always upset my corals. The best step by step video for weekly maintenance. 👌 So glad I started with the Tropic Marin Pro Salt, its so good.
Thank you Jay, yeah its brilliant salt, ive been really impressed with it, everything in my tank seems happier now than when I used the LFS water.
Great maintenance vid there Ross, so organised im def learning from that. I really need to label my plugs.
Thanks Neil, yeah it makes things so much easier and saves switching off the wrong thing, ive done that plenty so decided to label them!
Great video again.
Thank you very much!
Really enjoying your content. Keep it up!
Thank you very much mate 👍
Great video Ross! A nice streamlined process and super simple
Thanks Tris, took me 3 times as long to do it as was filming at the same time haha but got there in the end!
@@BeardedReef 😂😂😂
Great video did this for my first water change.
Thank you, im glad it was of some help! 👍
@@BeardedReef think I need to get a higher w heater though as took a while to heat up 😂😂.
Haha yeah that would help, just watch you don't heat it up too much tho haha, it's a fine line!
@@BeardedReef yeah we don't want cooked Clownfish do we 😂😂😂😭
Certainly wouldn't be much of a meal anyway haha 😆
Very helpful thank you!
I'm glad it was of some use, thank you! 👍
Hello Ross! Loved the tip with compressed air ! Also like the power strip with separate switches, I need one too.
Thank you, yeah it makes things so much easier, you can get them both from Amazon
Thank you so much! Loved this video very informative☺️
No problem at all, hopefully it can help make things a little easier to understand what weekly maintenance is involved when starting out!
Tropic Marin is the BEST. I JUST PICKED UP 3 buckets because it’s real hard to find in America ! Although you should mix your salt the night before !
Yeah I love it, its easy to get here in the UK,
from everything I've read and from testing it myself it mixes fully in around around 20mins, I leave mines a further 30mins after that then add it and it works perfectly.
Another good video mate
Thanks mate
Awesome video. Is there some white residue at the waterline? Also, what wavemaker are you using thanks?
Thank you, yeah I noticed that the video picked that up but in person I cant see it, will need to double check that next weekend when I do my water change again! It's the AI Nero 3 wavemaker that I use.

Hi Ross, Could'nt see from the vid, Did you remember to switch the wavemaker off before lowering the water below it? Or does the water not go below it?
I leave the wavemaker on to keep some flow in the tank, the water level doesn't go down to the wavemaker so it stays on all the time.
Great video. I have the waterbox peninsula mini 25. Do you clean the back chambers often? Also how often do you take the return pump out to clean?
Thank you very much, I have properly cleaned the rear chamber once in the 7 months I have had the tank running, I have also cleaned the pump once in that time too!
Really useful thanks! Does it matter that the salinity meter says at 20 degrees and the bucket is higher?
Thank you, it should automatically compensate for the temperature on the meter
I'm close to pulling the trigger on a WB 15! How much sand did you need for yours?
You will not regret it, I done a video on this a while back if you check out my other videos, im sure it was the 20lb bag I got and use around 2/3 of it
@@BeardedReef great! I ordered a 15 lb bag!
Hello. Didn't you have problems with the water level in chamber 3 where the pump is . I changed the socks because was getting dirty so quick. And was blocking the flow water to the other chambers. I put some floss just little bit and after one day is the same. In the chamber 3 where the pump is sitting is no enough water . The water pump is on half power . What else could I do ?
hey man im setting up a 15g peninsula and i saw the aquati code, i dont live in the u.k but im wondering do they ship internationally?
Easy big man 👍 I'm using aquaforest salt but want to change it and the tropic marin is what I've been looking at,have you tested the alk on a fresh mix ?
Thanks Colin! I like the tropic marin, I haven't tested a fresh salt mix before I add it, will do that this week for you tho!
@@BeardedReef I've seen they claim it comes out at 7.6dkh mate
@@colinmccallum6425 that would make sense mate but I've never tested it, will make a point of doing it this week tho and let you know!
Alk on this salt at 35ppt I believe is around 7-7.5 ish when I last tested it.
Nice update Ross. You put me to shame with how meticulous you are with maintenance. Good job 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Paul, haha I haven't been doing this any where near as long as you tho so my standards might slip over time!
Slightly less water to maintain as well!!! 😂😂😂
Yeah definitely! It's easy doing a 10L change every week!
That filter floss you use would you recommend because im using blue bonded filter pads and cutting them but it keeps clogging up the first chamber and the ato is going crazy, and i think the filter floss is an issue?
I just use standard aquarium filter floss mate, comes in a big roll and is pretty cheap, really good for the tank, yeah sounds like yours could be clogging up a little
@@BeardedReef which filter floss do you use?
@@lucasteeny8714I've already replied to you above mate
I think its made by finer filters, its a 5m roll, just standard white filter floss
What power bar are you using?
What can you stock the mini 15 with?
That a big aptasia sitting in the middle on the sand?!? 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 how dare you insult my precious like that! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What type of ai prime is that?
Its the ai prime 16hd
ro/di water will be 0 tds, but certainly not saltwater.... ?
