So the refugium isn’t a refugium anymore and where’s the 75 😮 Tom ?? Am I off the loop is this a older video 🤔
Is that an aphasia nem if so he should remove it they are like a cancer if he wants a nem get a bta
My PH was 8.0 yesterday and today it’s 7.4 :( I’m currently cycling my tank with no fish . Not sure why it dropped so much over night . I had the window open yesterday for like an hour . Maybe that’s why the ph went up? Wish it was up all the time
Sometimes fluctuations can happen, but that’s a substantial drop. Could be a inaccurate test or possible due to your cycling
Are you serious? I’m so sorry…. I can’t believe it again. I had asked you for that other tank. And you threw it out. What are you going to do with this one? Do you have Instagram? I would love to contact your further.
Iam too low i took cap off skimmer 000 ppb in a week its running at 15 ppb now no3 is at 7.5 ppm so i happy now
Nice!
Bit of cyno in the 12 gallon Tom
Is he missing a claw? Will it grow back?
Yes, it broke off in the bag during shipping 🫤 yes, but takes a long time
@@TOMReefer he is super cool still and it will be cool to watch it grow back. Awesome tanks btw
Thanks Gary!
I have a 10gal as well. That's a nem only tank Can you tell me what you're running for? Filtration? Thanks!
Hi Todd, it’s not anemone only. I have a few other corals in there. It’s live rock and a sponge filter. More recently I’ve added a HOB to clear the water a bit more. It also adds a little more biological filtration. 👍🏻
Definitely going to look into one 👍
How many gallons is this tank?
75 gallons
Ive never had one but plan to get one i have mixed reef i have a frog spawn zoas a tourch a hammer a duncan a toad stool and 6 rockflowers any recommendation?
A gorgonian 😃
I heard adding a tang helps. Tangs can make a chromis scared enough to school.
Beautiful What type of BTA is that?
Arizona Sunset 😊👍🏻
What’s the dosing measurement for direct tank use. I don’t have a kalk setup. Thanks
Start at 5ml per 25 gal per day. Week 1. Test. Then 10ml week 2 test.
@@TOMReefer thank you.
@ro19978 YW!
What happened to the toadstool leather?!
Succumbed to bacterial infection. 😔
@@TOMReefer Awh, poor guy!
@emokid197 I know 🫤
What did Tom tell me to do just before this happened 🤣😝 I’m just kidding .. but tom I have a question about your rusty photosynthetic gorgonian if you don’t mind I really fell in love with it on your videos and just recently picked one up as I seen it go on sale and happen to get a free gifted purple blade along with it now I have not had an opportunity to upgrade my lighting that I was using on my 55 gallon witch wore 2 kessil A80s tuna blues and worked very well on that tank surprisingly and luckily 🤦♂️ but I now have them on my 100 and I’m wondering if photosynthetic gorgonian will also feed through the water or do they take all there energy from the lighting I add vitals mixed reef every 2 days and all my other corals have done fine off this set up with the exception of moving my birds nests way up on a frag rack now 🙄 but the Kenya seems to still love them and my mushrooms and zoas actually and the nem has stayed where I put it when setting up the new tank but I don’t want to disturb everything hitting them with a new light but it’s my understanding that gorgonians need a higher lighting witch both the gorgonians have great polyp extension happening since they have been in there about a week in fairness I was going to add a AI blade coral grow with the 80s cause it would be a long strip to cover the whole 60 inches and give me that kessil shimmer we all love but it could end up way to much I think and re set all my coral should I just leave it all alone and hope for the best and maybe move them up like I did with the birds nests I don’t like that look tho 😢 really sorry for the big message I’d just like the best for them I’ve done so well with everything since this revamp thank you for your time 🙏
Hi Justin, I would add the Ai blade with the A’80s. You can always keep the setting very low if necessary. As far as the gorg. They feed most from the light, but will take in some from the water column. 👍🏻
How long do you keep the UV light on?
Usually 48 hours, or until the water clears
Nutrient transport 😂
Very nice aquarium
After 4 weeks of 7 hour power outages every day, all of my algee completely disappeared. Before outages i had more algee then corals, now i don't have any algee at all.
As long as your corals didn’t die, I guess that’s a great thing! 😃
@@TOMReefer mostly corals feel fine, but my banana split torch is getting a bit damaged cause of flow lack
That's what mine does.
Haha👍🏻
I'm late but real live rock is pretty easy to come by these days. Tbs alone can start you off rather easily
the cuts in the video are a bit all over the place. U maybe no what ur saying or talking about but most of us do not
If you are a beginner, you really don’t need a video like this one. Using vinegar for nitrate reduction as a more advanced principle. Try searching for more how to videos 👍🏻
How well do those Hanna’s work Tom I’ve been using red seas pro test kit for the basics and for CAL and MAG and ALK I use the aquaforest pro kit but I’m always so unsure with the syringes cause theres that extra bit at the tip that’s not accounted for once the water starts hitting the measuring lines 😮 should be okay with the provided syringes tho right 🤷♂️ and also have you noticed with your protein skimmer any micro bubbling I really liked that style with the wood air stone I was thinking of putting one on the 100 gallon since the one I was using for the 55 is now to small but if I use the one with the air stone I have to place it right in the display since I didn’t do a sump on this build really appreciate your vid’s you have helped me out so much since I subscribed I was beginning to think I made a mistake converting to saltwater and was starting to regret it when I kept fresh water I had live plants and really never water changed like ever and everything thrived like crazy I couldn’t keep up with the plant growth but had no idea water changing for saltwater was so important thanks to you 🙏 and not to mention the idea of the aqua clear refugium builds that is working for me perfectly by the way 👍
Hi Justin, I like the Hanna checkers. That excess water in the tip is supposed to be there. It’s not a problem. It balances the top air pocket that forms at the top when pulling back the stopper. Never had any problem with micro bubbles, entering the tank from the skimmer that I have. Would air stone is placed high enough into the skimmer that all the bubble go directly up and not out of the bottom of the skimmer. i’ve never liked to put a skimmer in the display just because of aesthetics, but if you have to, I guess you could.
Tom, your AI prime on the 10 gal, the setting is at what power 0-100%?
Ry and blue are 45% and CL is 55%
Woah your offish is a DREAM SCAPE!!!!
Thanks! 👍🏻😊
The Reef Tank Looks Great 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Bryan!
His wife pissed him off right before filming
Probably 😊
Hey again Tom I just recently picked up a fire fish but he’s getting bullied by my orchid doty back I’ve already had for maybe a year now can I expect it to stop or did I make a mistake 😔 I really can’t find any info on housing the two together he’s not being pushed into any corners or bitten that I can tell but he’s definitely not allowed anywhere near the rock work but being a 100 gallon he’s still got a lot of space at the top where he mostly stays now ..
Hi Justin, the 100 gallon size tank may save you. Lots of room for the fire fish to go hide. As long as it’s not continuous chasing around the tank all the time it should settle in. Watch it during feeding time. As long as it can eat it should be ok. If the Doty back prevents it from eating, then it may be a problem.
@@TOMReefer okay 👍 that actually give me a good since of relief thank you the Doty back doesn’t overly come out the rocks to feed just waits for it to flow past the rocks and darts out for it and back in and I’ve only feed the tank twice so far from getting the fire fish yesterday afternoon and has been eating from the top so that’s good new thanks 🙏
@@TOMReefer still feel bad it can go and hid I have 2 separate rock builds with a gap in the middle so the powder blue has lots of space to swim around all of it but the doty back seems to think it gets both sides lol and he’s only building his spot in one of them had to move my mushrooms luckily they wore on there own small rock it kept spitting sand all over them 🙄
Thanks, Tom! I like your videos keep it up. You inspire all of reefers. Especially those coming into new beginnings, like this problem which I just had!
Thanks Chris, glad the vids are helpful.
Hey man can i use a 5 gallon bucket and gravity feed from my main display to the bucket and then a pump in the bucket back to main display ?
Yes you can man 😁
@@TOMReefer is their any pump you would reccomend for me to use inside the bucket to send it back ? And can you give me some tips or tricks ?
@Coral-reef. The Sicce line are decent. And the size depends on how much flow you want to run into the bucket. The more powerful the pump, the more flow into the bucket and more noise from the water flow. The sicce 1.5 might work well.
is your mandarin still alive, how old is it?
Oh yes! 😃4 years
Hey Tom, I’m looking for a compact power head/wave maker that I can control night/day. Working with a 3 ft freshwater 21 gallon. Think this’ll be too weak? Also it’s been 3 years, do you still recommend?
Hi Daniel, yes I still use and recommend. It depends on how much flow you want in your tank. One would be less flow obviously two would be more try one first.
Is that not apstasia next to the anemone?
Yes, it’s gone now
I had an aiptaisia outbreak in my tank and these worked like magic. I kept trying to use the chemical solutions, but they always came back.
Hi Virgo, absolutely right! Berghia are the best. A bit pricey, but they get the job done👍🏻
Ohhhhhh,is pretty
Thank you!
So you dose low concentration? Does it help to prevent build up in pumps and tubes
1/2 teaspoon per gallon. I’ve never had a problem with it building up in my pumps
They look great Imo. I think why they’re working so well is those zoas seem to be equally aggressive, they keep each other in check
Lol. My power is out right now
😊I hope it’s back on by now!
I have had to use a backup many times over the years. We spend one grand on our tank, but forget a two hundred back up system. Run flow and heat and your good for a whole day. Reefs don't always have high light every day in the wild.
Can I use this in my 12 gallon maxspect dice?
Yes👍🏻
Get that full anemone tank going Tom let’s get it it would be so beautiful, get a nice one and get it going!!
I’m a little slow! Can you show step by step how to set this up properly and what exactly the brand and specs of the equipment please
😃 www.instructables.com/How-to-Build-a-Battery-Backup-Generator/
We miss u Tom 😢
😃sorry buddy, just to busy right now.
@TOMReefer 💯 understand waiting for tanks around world 🌎
Where are you from Zech? Do you have a tank you want shown? 😊I stopped doing them because no one was submitting. And really poor quality videos sent. 🫤
Very beautiful tanks
Generators are great if you can save up for one.
Can you do a video on this please! I would be very grateful
Wow this is great i have a 20 and some spare HOB’s been wanting to get into saltwater but was hesitant always seemed so difficult
How do you control temperature so wierd it’s late the sun is down but my tanks temperature rises around this time
You can try fans blowing across your water surface.
It’s not if !……. It’s when . Know that! Have back up!! Great short Tom as usual🐋🐟🐬🦈🐳
