What type anemone do you recommend for a reef tank?

@fuffoon 2 жыл бұрын

That is beautiful on top and underneath. The plumping and hardware is artwork! The tank is...a work of art! Its intimidating in its perfection.

I agree with the swings. You can have super low or super high numbers but if it stays that way nothing will die. When there is a huge flux something will eventually struggle and die. It's just the way it is.

I want to add useful information in addition with this video General Acro guidelines: Good varied flow (multiple powerheads > one giant powerheads) Quality lighting (t5, led, halides, or whatever's in your budget) Stable Alkalinity (use reef calculator to monitor consumption over a week while testing and see how much alkalinity your tank needs daily) Filtration (good nutrient export method and stick to it) Stable salinity (find what works for YOU to keep fresh water topped off)

Thnx for video. I have been in this for 10 yrs..after many tanks I am rebuilding a working tank due to red bugs. I called some PHDs they said dose my red bug infestation with milbycin. It killed the red bugs but not the larvae or eggs. So I removed corals, qt...removed rock..removed sand..i lost over $2000 in coral. Like scolemia..hammer..brain coral...now I am making new rock...about to vacuum sump. I am very unlucky considering the knowledge, equipment... This pest was so destructive....now everything goes into QT TANK before the main display.

Great video can and i ask with your light set up what intensity and height do you keep your radions at for acropora? I currently run 2 x xr15s with the ghl aquatic life hybrid at about 14inches trying to work out what would be best thanks

Thank you.... Beautiful, beautiful tank... and your sump is to die for.... Very neatly laid out. If i could offer some constructive criticism..... Plse dont talk quite so fast, especially when describing your equipment with its brand-name and model #s/design etc. Hard to keep up sometimes. Outstanding tank and congrats on your business success too! 👍🌴

Lights dont have to be the most expensive equipment i use halides and i can grow any coral you can You can get a fixture for 60 90 bucks bulb for about 45 by the time it equals a led fixture its time for people with leds to upgrade cause led do loose power and burn out

@elslick 4 жыл бұрын

I would go with a rock flower. They tend to move around less. Normally once they have a place they are happy they will stay there. If you get a bubble tip I would not glue any drags down so you can move them easily as it walks around until it gets settled.

Sorry, but why do you actually care what hobbies people have? I seriously doubt you've ever donated a fraction of the money people spend on this hobby towards the poor and hungry.

Ryan O'Connell Just let the troll go back to his cave. Hobbies are entertainment, pure and simple, not some moral or ethical dilemmas involved. It’s stress relief during covid times.

@michaelcruz5934 4 жыл бұрын

Sorry @ M W and Ryan I never meant to hurt your feelings for the hobby which you are passionate about. There is no doubt that marine reef aquarium are awesome and takes a lot of hard work and time to set up. I did have one myself and just could not sustain due to the cost of maintenance involved and it was not even close to the one displayed in the above blog. However I do personally feel helping the poor brings more stress relief and peace with my personal experience. I wish you guys the best for your future endeavors and God keep you and your families safe from this pandemic.
