This tank is even more impressive in person. Can you guys do another video on the maintenance and coral care: what you guys feed also share the parameters.
Excellent Particularly when you started discussing the relative natural reef slop environments. And the the contrast against a "high energy" environment. The descriptions in creating a moderate or low energy reef tank, and the framing around what conditions the hobbyist is replicating is welcome and was well said.
This kind of content is great Josh - specialized focus on corals The part about flow, the part about reach - these are all problems people with mixed reefs are going to run into
Another informative video. Great job on the tank guys! A friend of mine is about to throw in the towel on his tank if he hasn’t already. He has a smaller waterbox but was trying to set a tank something like this up. Not sure what the deal was with his tank but I gave him tons of coral specifically frogspawn that I could grow in gasoline but he could not keep it alive for whatever reason. He had all top notch gear which just goes to show it isn’t the gear.
Im setting up a 75 and im planning to have torches, hammers, and frog spawn on top of my devils hands and some other corals plus one magnifica anemone. Any pointers getting all of that to survive together would be great.
I'd advise against putting a magnifica in a 75g aquarium altogether. Sounds like a recipe for disaster TBH. Magnificas get extremely large and can wander around stinging your corals (will be warfare with your euphyllias).
Excellent information. Similar advice you've offered lately seems to have my tank making a turn for the better. I was hanging on for a bit more objective info about the lighting. The Radion profiles are great for those who run Radions but not so much help for us Dalua X4 or other users. I know some can argue about PAR ratings but it would be something we all could reference.
Great video! Could you guys share the par range that the tank is getting if you have them? It can be really hard to find solid info and ranges online vary a ton
How do they get such clear looking tanks? my tanks always have some algae build up from the bottom where the sand is and always scraping off algae on the sides of glass
Great and very informative video, keep it up, guys! I had an idea to put a frogspawn as a single solitary coral in my little 10gal tank... Would you say that it will outgrow the tank in a long run? Is it manageable or is it a bad idea in general?
what's the trick to getting torches to extend like that? My torches are extended, but certainly not that long. Is it a species base (Indos I know tend to be longer), or maturity?
@@WorldWideCorals have had 1 of them for 2 years and had multiple heads, had the others for 6 months all 1 head. They're extended, but not to the extreme as the ones in your video.
Love these videos on tank setups and things too look out for Do you have any tips on recovering the flesh band on torches if they have receeded? My tank parameters are ok but im not sure if the receeding band is related to flow or too much light ? Or if possibly lack of nutrients Thank you
@@WorldWideCorals wow ok interesting ... what about white ? one more thing, when blues is 100% but général intensity is 50% so it's like/equal blue working 50% at 100% intensity right ?
@@maximegarnier7455 Whites are set to 0% on this tank. The blues are truly at 100% when both the blue channels are at 100% and the overall intensity is also 100%.
What powerhead and power settings are you using, I think my tank has to much flow for Euphyllia, trying to figure it out. Thanks for the video, very helpful
I’ve got a similar sized tank with a single mp40. Going for a euphyllia only tank. Wondering what mp40 settings you guys recommend, or using in this tank
Blew the tentacles off my first torch 🤦♂️🤦♂️ miraculously it recovered and now it has deformed tips You’re right about the clowns as well, one of my clowns scrapped/burnt off one pelvic fin trying to host the torch 😢
I'm currently watching my last torch diminish. I had 4 super-healthy and thriving species that just started dying off after 3 years of growth for reasons I can't explain. In other words, I'm discouraged and disappointed & I'm not buying any more euphelia for the next year or so.
Hi. Just an idea but you may want to check your equipment for testing salinity. I was having loads off problems with polyp bailout. I was calibrating my refractometer with ro water... once i bought the refractometer fluid thats at normal sea level concentration i realised how far i was out. Tank was running at 1.021, alls been good since then. Good luck.
@@WorldWideCorals I'm already @ sorry🤣. I did its just one of those reef mysteries that humble me when I think I finally figured it out. I'm like in a state of loss now
Remember that hammers and frogspawn aren't classified as Euphyllia anymore gents. They have been reclassified into their own genus- Fimbriaphyllia. This is due to genetically distinct ancestors as well as different polyp morphology 🤙
Yea but no one cares. Everyone knows what is being referred to and theyre using terms that most people(their customers) use as this is not meant to be a scientific journal
The genus name has been around in the hobby so long, it will stick for mostly everyone. Same goes for Acans now being micromussa and scolys being homophyllia. The old, classic names will be here to stay since they are what everyone is used to.
Low nutrients will also cause coral to close up and be unhappy. They look best around 20 nitrates and .2 phosphates. Hammer and frogspawn are Fimbriaphyllia, which is why they shouldn’t be touching a torch.
Perhaps those figures work best in your system but I doubt there is a ‘best’ level of No3 or Po4 at all. There’s many factors that contribute to what levels are ideal in any given system.

Thank you dusk1947 and also a thank you for watching!
19:52 that green torch with the blue tips is stunning.
Sure is 🔥!!!!

YESSSSS, NOW THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!! THANK YA SIRS!!!
Hope you enjoyed!!!!
That torch looked great the way the tentacles were twisted together making a spiral of purple and gold
It is a beautiful look!
Thanks for the video fellas Awesome Waterbox!
Thanks for watching it!!!
Just got my corals from the R2R live sale! Scored a Paletta blue acro, sand dollar Porites and an old school style thick incrusting monti

Learnt alot thanks guys my 2 torches have been stumpy for weeks, lowering the flow and lighting now
Would love to see under that tank? Just run a skimmer or is there a fuge/alage scrubber as well?
We do not run any fuges or algae scrubbers on any of our tanks. It is just a skimmer and some filter floss for filtration. We keep it simple!
Also I bought a torch in October of 2020 from you guys.... It spawned in the tank. Got 16 now.
Thats awesome!!! You do not see or hear about torches spawning in captivity very often. You must be doing something right!!!🔥
Spot on content gents. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!!!
Good job my brothers enjoy how you break Frog spawns and torches
Much appreciated, thanks for watching!!!
Thanks for the video, guys, this really helped me figure out where I want to place my torch versus my candy cane coral.❤
Glad that you were able to get some useful info out of the video. Thanks for watching!
I LIKE YOUR NEW FORMAT WWC

Good job Tommy! Way to overcome the shyness. I would be nervous too lol. Thank you guys for the video! I❤WWC
I will make sure he knows this!
@@WorldWideCorals that would make a good bumper sticker lol. I❤️WWC
@@garywright8073 Just for him
Excellent job on the overall explanation definitely helps more videos along this line would be Helpful
Thanks for watching. We will be sure to drop some knowledge!
What?! I’m looking to get Frogspawns for the First time and this Video confirmed that I should get it 🙂❤️
Happy this helped you feel more confident in getting it.
Great job explaining, Josh and Tommy. Valuable information for everyone. Beautiful!
They always do a great job!
Whats the name of the green torch w purple at 15:40? I will buy it!
That is our Holy Grail Torch coral. Please email me at alex@worldwidecorals.com and I can get you set up with one! -Alex
Great insight guys! May I ask you to share the parameters for this tank (po4, no3, kh etc)? Thanks!
Great video! Could you guys share the par range that the tank is getting if you have them? It can be really hard to find solid info and ranges online vary a ton
The top of the tank is getting about 180 par.
Great video as always! Would be awesome if you done a little deeper dive into if you do have issues such as brown jelly, what steps is best ❤
This is something that we may consider for a future video. Thank you for watching!
Ive always noticed that when my lights turn all blue. Torches, hammers and frogspawn definitely expand more.
Sucking up the good wavelengths!!!!
It's possible that the white light or full spectrum is too intense for their liking. That's a clue!!
You guys are the best
Thanks, we appreciate you!!!!🙌
Please update on the haddoni ta k that is next to this one!
Thank you for the suggestion, we may have to do just that!
great video guys
Thanks for watching my friend!
Really curious of the par readings! I’m going for a lps dominant tank and it’s also 2ft deep like this!
How do they get such clear looking tanks? my tanks always have some algae build up from the bottom where the sand is and always scraping off algae on the sides of glass
We have a team that cleans the glass a few times a day, Its labor of love!
Torches need indirectional chaotic flow. Get them going into a spiraling effect it keeps the ext away
What are you using for powerheads on your tank?
Why in the hammers all the green turn to blue seems like the green tips got burned off
Euphyllia can have different color tips on the same coral. We see this all the time.
I know you guys have the schedules for rations will you guys post the schedule for the x4s
Great and very informative video, keep it up, guys!
I had an idea to put a frogspawn as a single solitary coral in my little 10gal tank... Would you say that it will outgrow the tank in a long run? Is it manageable or is it a bad idea in general?
It would do fine in that system :)
How much par is the tank getting ?
You mentioned euplylia eating flat worms. What coral dip(s) do you recommend for pests as well as bacterial?
what's the trick to getting torches to extend like that? My torches are extended, but certainly not that long. Is it a species base (Indos I know tend to be longer), or maturity?
Maturity will have a bunch to do with it, How long have you had the torches for?
@@WorldWideCorals have had 1 of them for 2 years and had multiple heads, had the others for 6 months all 1 head. They're extended, but not to the extreme as the ones in your video.

How do I get your light setting new to this light system thsnks
Need a video on the radion g6's for these gardens
Hello ! What about light schedule and intensity during the day ? these 2 radions intensity are like 50% blue/UV ?
We run the blues at 100% and UV is at 0% on this tank in particular. The overall intensity is also at 100% so, blues cranked up all the way!
@@WorldWideCorals wow ok interesting ... what about white ?
one more thing, when blues is 100% but général intensity is 50% so it's like/equal blue working 50% at 100% intensity right ?
@@maximegarnier7455 Whites are set to 0% on this tank. The blues are truly at 100% when both the blue channels are at 100% and the overall intensity is also 100%.

We are using a single mp40 vortech set on short pulse mode(about 25% intensity). Thanks for watching!
I’ve got a similar sized tank with a single mp40. Going for a euphyllia only tank. Wondering what mp40 settings you guys recommend, or using in this tank
I would say start at the highest setting then work its way down, The coral will let you know if they are in a happy spot.
Blew the tentacles off my first torch 🤦♂️🤦♂️ miraculously it recovered and now it has deformed tips
You’re right about the clowns as well, one of my clowns scrapped/burnt off one pelvic fin trying to host the torch 😢
They learn that lesson pretty quickly! Ouch!
Which substrate is used in this tank?
Doing great Tommy! 😁
I will let him know you said that!!!
what causes the skeleton under my hammer to go dark brown almost black ?
What substrate is in this tank?
What fish can go in a tank like this?
my zoas seem to be losing color, any idea whats going on?
Could be due to low nutrients or very high phosphates. There can be many causes though.
The lighting schedule for the ai prime 16hd keeps failing won't download
send us a email to contact@worldwidecorals.com
yeah more LPS and meant corls vids plz :D
Substrate info?
flesh bands completly dictate the health status of a torch or hammer
I agree. Everyone should ask to see this band when buying euphyllia from LFS when possible.
Great video besides the fact that everything they say ends in a question. As a New Englander their florida accents drive me up the wall 😂
Thank you very much! Tommy is actually from Buffalo NY & Josh is also from upstate New York, maybe they been in Florida for too long...lol

@@johnblaze5252 What is your po4 and no3 readings?
Stick to hammers and frogspawns. I always found torches tempermental and not really worth the stress.
ID ON THAT GREAN LEATHER CORAL PLEASE!
That one is not named just yet. We are growing it out to give it a name and have some for sale in the future.

Wait until the cancel culture gets into this hobby with their misgendering issues😅@@WorldWideCorals
Great video, helped tons
Que need more Tommy
Need more Tommy!!!
Also, branching NOT a wall
Yes, these are all branching euphyllia!
Lost a hammer to too much flow and noticed to late 😢
Sorry about that Andy!
Dose kalkwasser, yes - no?
Kalk is aweseome, but we do not run it on this tank.
Who else here feeds their puffer fish by hand? 😅
I do
Low nutrients will also cause coral to close up and be unhappy. They look best around 20 nitrates and .2 phosphates.

Perhaps those figures work best in your system but I doubt there is a ‘best’ level of No3 or Po4 at all. There’s many factors that contribute to what levels are ideal in any given system.
Agreed. We have noticed .1 phosphates and 15-20 nitrates is a sweet spot.
