I'm relatively new to marine/reef aquariums( 9 months or so ). Struggling with some parameter and coral issues. Yours was the most down to earth, plain english, helpful, video I've seen. I don't think it answered all my questions, but I feel so much better about feeding coral now. Thank you.

Hi, I have 24 gallon aquatop tank, did a 5 gallon water change a few days ago and my water has been cloudy ever since. This is not a new tank, it's been set up for almost 8 months now. I thought maybe it was sand since I was cleaning and pushing around sand, cleaned the glass etc. but after 3 or 4 days I would think this would all settle. Only thing I have did differently is add some coral like 1 acans 1 Green Duncan & 1 hammer 🔨 the salt I’m using is Red Sea coral pro

so the chalice looks so much like the montipora. You keep things small and trimmed don and like gardens for instance,i believe those are all candy canes to the far right? Looks amazing, is that what you do. Iusually see a big batch of them and the neon green ones i picked up look like a head of cauliflower..lol You tank is the most beautiful I have seen! I have asked you lots of questions last few days because i admire it so much. Can you move corals to new spots when they get older or you upgrade?

I am asking because I ordered somany of these corals ata sale and they were mostly purple and green, I was going to try to get a refund but maybe I will just go with it and add oranges yellows and pinks later and you have done so much with mostly lps and softies! I didnt know that could be done and for a small tank at that! I heard you mention those were acans and not candy cane. Are they all on a rock? Dont they sting each other?

My family just started a salt water tank... so far we only set up... nothing is added. We were told that we cannot put a tang in our tank because it’s only 32g and they need more than that... like 60 or more. We were also told that we can only have no more than 3-4 1 inch fish, I.e., clown fish. In this video, he has a 50g and more than 4 fish. My question is, were we given accurate information and details regarding the number of fish we can have in our 32g tank? Appreciate the time and attention.
@eatsleepreef9565
@eatsleepreef9565 4 жыл бұрын
For a 32 any tank is kinda small. And the fish count recommendation is pretty accurate. The more fish you have the more poop, thus the more water changes you have to do. You can setup the tank to handle more fish but honesty if your new I would do no more than 3-4 fish so you can have a tank that needs little maintenance. With a good skimmer you can get away with a bit more fish but take it easy at the beginning

EAT SLEEP Reef ok, so will I need a protein skimmer regardless? Also, what should o add first... coral or fish? Additionally, we are going to get rock today, however we love the man-made Rock more than the live. We decided to go with live sand... my question is, would it be ok to mix the man-made and live rock or can we just get man-made rock since we have live sand? Appreciate your feedback.
