    Id like to see a video on all the sound treatments you've done to make the farm quieter.

    These Acrylics can turn into a nice Macroalgae tank for low flow pipefish/mandarins and Fatty LPS.

      Super great idea. Not enough showcases of crazy macro algae.

    One of the most important part of reef keeping… is nerding out on hardware! Thanks for the upload!

    With all that space, you should try to make a radial flow settling tank before the filter socks. It's essentially a filter roller without the replaceable media. Bonus points if you use a cone bottom tank connected to the sewer for easy purging.

    I've heard that using reborn or crushed coral for an aiptasia farming setup works well, whenever you need some to feed the nudi's you just take out a few hunks of coral with aiptasia on it. I've always that growing nudi's would be a huge money maker....prove me right!

    Just FYI Than… I learned that in order for the Berghia to be really successful in doing their jobs, you need about an inch at least of sugar fine sand . Preferably Aragonite sand. They can hide on the underside of live rock but, they don’t fair nearly as well.

    Always a pleasure to have a peek into your farm. Thank you very much sir :)

    Than mentioned a while back that they were having a problem with keeping the Aiptasia-eating nudis fed and I was thinking that you guys need to start farming Aiptasia to keep them nudis well fed and breeding.

    Heck yeah, when you started talking about changing the anemone display tank i immediately thought "goni tank!". And then you said it yourself! Id live to see that

    Hi Than everything looks great. Awhile back I discovered my magnesium test kit was consistently testing 300ppm high. I figured this out with a reference solution. I thought I was at about 1300 but it was 1000. The reason I bring it his up is that my torches did that same kinky twisted thing your Colorado's are doing. Maybe the variety is supposed to do that and my bubble tips didnt do that when the mag was low, but visually it looks exactly the same.

    • @tidalgardens
      @tidalgardens  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I always assumed it was some crustacean bothering it, but we also started dosing magnesium more aggressively and they no longer do that.

  • @beerthirst476
    @beerthirst476 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Have you ever thought about trying non photosynthetic corals like Dendros? Being a coral farmer you may have a better chance than most of us ...... maybe one of those spare acrylic tanks could be a project :)

    I like the idea of a tank for sea fans, and along thise lines, have you considered growing and selling decorative sponges? I used to have some blue sponges that were one of my favorite things in my tank. Unfortunately, they got nuked when I used Vibrant to kill my Nuisance algae. They witherd away within 4 days of the 1st dose. I would love to aquire some more.

    Those acrylics seem like a perfect way to prototype that cascade aquarium you were thinking about 😉

  • @MylivingArtReptiles
    @MylivingArtReptiles 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Turn the acrylic tanks into macro algae tanks and plug them into the system. They will not have to be cleaned because the macro algae will take up all the phosphate and nitrate. The red macro algae would look great even across the store.

    The day I mentioned that I farm Aiptasia, was the day I was shunned by the Reefer community, just like that. 5:17 beautiful tank, looks very expensive and high maintenance.

    • @BolverkrLimited
      @BolverkrLimited 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'm looking at starting a system to farm aiptasia myself, but I can't find anyone doing videos on it. Any advice or videos you would recommend?

    • @dwayneelizondomountaindewh1465
      @dwayneelizondomountaindewh1465 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@BolverkrLimited I don't think any one is doing it, to be honest with you. I can recommend a good light and some flow, they are like Xenia coral they prefer the same conditions. They get 4-5 inches long, fully grown and they extend out in high currents. They eat like any other anemone does, so feeding is the same. They multiply very fast, will take over any tank you have them in. They can be a display colony, if Xenia can. They are the same color, like a fleshy pink and looks almost the same as a tank of Xenia.

    A Goniopora garden would be so cute.

      With just one angry little fish that hides in the rockwork, and kills anyone else you put in. And hides a lot, so it doesn’t get boring. Like, not a damsel.

    I was gonna say anemone tanks for the acrylic tanks

  • @StubbyAcro
    @StubbyAcro 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I find the benefits of mechanical filtration interesting. What’s the micron on those socks? What’s the sump turnover rate? Roughly speaking, how long did it take for the filter socks to get clogged from every 3 days to every 7 days?

  • @juanpz07
    @juanpz07 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I've been noticing a lot of new reefers. I'd probably turn all those tanks to softies and anemone tanks.

    Id like to see your entry for the most sick Aiptasia grown in captivity. I got a 17 inch monster, Tubezilla.
    Seriously though, I have one 6 inches long, 4 inches wide and when you have a colony like that, it's something to behold...got it ?.
    It's like a bunch of pink aliens, vs the predator. One Ugly motha...there's a lot of organisms up in this motha.
    No, honestly it looks like something that can only be fixed with a flamethrower and some gasoline.

    Can you turn the big tank into a Seadragon tank? I mean you really. want to spend $3500 for 1 right? or two or 3 or 4 LOL
