Looks great - I just got back into the hobby after years away and I will say it’s come a long way but is becoming a rich mans hobby too !

@grandcanyonreefs Жыл бұрын

Thanks!! Glad to hear you’re getting back into it! I can definitely become pricey, but that’s only if you want it to be. There are definitely smaller tanks that can be very affordable and still have plenty of beautiful fish, softies & LPS corals!

Yes dude I'm gonna be out about 7k for the setup I want. I like that a lot of it became automated and that new filter looks awesome as well as the auto level skimmer

Fish and corals have risen 3/4x or more in price over the past few years. Just stocking a tank now will cost a few grand. Crazy.

Yeah it’s definitely unfortunate how expensive it’s gotten. But to be fair, most things have gotten significantly more expensive over the past few years as well!

Hello. I subscribed to your channel today after watching a couple videos. I am researching a new tank set up. I want a Peninsula type tank to use as a room divider between my living room and dining area. I want to be able to view the tank from the living area and from the dining table. I have thought about this set up ever since we had the house built. I am finally in a position to make this a reality. Now I just need to find the right company to work with. I like those smaller cabinets. They accentuate the tank stand perfectly. Where could I get some?

Thanks! Captive bred goni’s tend to do much better long term than wild caught! And I also run a slightly dirty tank for having SPS and the goniopora’s love it (nitrate: 10-20, phosphate: 0.1-0.2).

I also do heavy in/out (large feedings & heavy filtration) and feed Benepets, Reefroids & a few Brightwell liquid foods a couple times a week. I’ll make a video in the future on what I feed both fish and corals!

Hey man how have you managed to get such a progressive growth in just 4 months especially the zoa's and GSP which is already spreading across the bottom glass. I dose All For Reef but not very frequently as I find it raises Alk and calcium far too quick.

@grandcanyonreefs Жыл бұрын

Stability is the key! The more stable you can keep tank parameters stable (temperature, salinity, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium), the faster things grow! At least that’s what I’ve experienced!

Thanks so much!! I’ve had the green, red, and purple large goni’s for over a year now! Those 3 have grown like 5x in size! I’ve found they love flow, slightly higher nutrients (nitrates and phosphates), and I broadcast feed a large variety of different liquid and powder foods weekly!

@grandcanyonreefs Жыл бұрын

If your light is mounted at the more standard 10”-14”, I’d recommend around 7-7-70-35-70-70 for general LPS/SPS lighting schedule! That’s what I used to run it before I mounted my lights to the wall to raise them to the 16” point! Hope that helps some!

Max is 30 on the blue channels. Not much growth at all. I’m slowly ramping up blues week over week and confirming with par meter.
