Looking very nice. Be very careful when running low nutrients will a dry rock build. Dinos are a real possibility. My Reefer 250 was set up very similar to yours and I never had any algae at all. Then I had a really bad dino outbreak which took 4 months to sort out. Dry rock plus ultra low nutrients are the perfect conditions for dinos.
Steve Thompson thanks Steve .... I am dreading that happening, hence trying to stick to water changes so I don’t strip all the nutrients out.... fingers crossed I stay clear!!!
Hey Paul, Sorry if this has been asked before... I've not been able to find it.. How much would you estimate you have spent in total on EVERYTHING up to this stage except live stock. Keep up the progress! Awesome watch so far!!
Ollie B Hi Ollie, things are very different a year or so on.... that setup defientely hit the £5k mark all in... I have a max nano now and am doing well.. I had to downsize but still putting out vids and still loving it 👍
Hey man! If you do a par test can you also test what the par is from just a single light? I have the reefer nano with an xr15 on it and im curious where the par would be at 85% AB+. Although i do not have diffusers, i could still have an idea based off your number!
Michael Sussman Hi Michael I need to do a new par reading so I will try it with one at 85% too and let you know, I should have one done in the next ten days... take care
Hi Michael just done one. Xr 15 Single Light, 8 inches above water as follows on ab+ with diffuser Par readings Water surface 380 4 inches below surface 280 8 inches below surface 160 10 inches below 130 Hope this helps 👍
Dean Taylor Good luck Dean! Pretty much everything I encountered is in these videos, take your time and level the tank before filling it and you should be fine, these tanks are awesome!!
Awesome dude, like the progression. I'm too lazy to film it all. My tank is cycling now, can't wait!

Are you making your own AO water? If so, I would love to see your set up. Thanks
Subbed great reef tank setup

Hello Paul, I'm just about to start my own red sea reefer 250 build! Any tips for making the install smooth? Thanks
