I find myself watching more and more of your videos lately, like watching jake in the early reefbuilders videos. This hobby is filled with so many great people that give back so much and you sir are one of those great people!

“This is a tripod!” *takes camera off tripod and zooms around the store* I like your style.

I get so stressed trying to place my coral. I google every and each one for placement and they almost always are “these are aggressive don’t place next to another coral” ect then I see tanks like yours and am definitely convinced I’m overthinking it lol… I want my little reef to be crowded like this.

You could look into setting up KZfaq Memberships and then having a discord made for those members who would want to be a part of one of your livestreams. One of the younger people may be knowledgeable on setting everything up.

#1 Love that frag cradle. Can’t find anyone in the states that make them. #2 keep us up to date on that reef flare. I was thinking of swapping out my XR30 Gen 6 for one but if support isn’t good I’ll just stick with what I got. I saw the reef flare hooked up in my LFS and really liked the light. Thanks for the video!

to fix the blur on the camera when you turn you gotta raise the shutter speed on your camera

@danlahrman5395 5 ай бұрын

All this talk about coral placement but no mention of lighting or flow or even acclimation. That tank is looking great with all types of coral mixed. Maybe I'm focusing too much on these things. How do you do that?

Some Illumagic X4 over that tank would look crazy!

Hey there I’m testing 5.7 alkalinity, 415ppm calcium, and 1280 magnesium. I can’t seem to get my alkalinity up to 8 after a week of using aquavitro eight.four, it’s been about a week with little improvement in alkalinity. My salinity is 35ppt. Am I doing something wrong?

For the frag plug you’re trying to make, have you thought about having baby scores right by the base so it’s easy to snap?

@@danlahrman5395 their sps beast pack blows anything out of the water. Two main spot lights and two bars to get rid of any shading. Pricing even with the US dollar and shipping is cheaper than 2 xr30''s.

Wish I'd seen this 3 years ago when I put the hammer 10-inches below the walt disney. 3 heads grew to 20+ head hammer and is killing the walt disney. Argh!!

@nickm9922 5 ай бұрын

Most people starting can only wish that happens eventually though 😂 Nice reason to go bigger? Or atleast startover with all learned knowledge? Some big trims and sell-off of frags, then start back up?

@strat1960s 5 ай бұрын

Hahaha. Yeah, I know I don't have much to complain about. I set this tank up as my "last" tank. The tank is 48x48x24. If I went bigger I think I'd do 72x60x24. If I had it to do again, I'd creat more coral islands to prevent corals from encroaching on eachother. I have a Montipora growing up a Green Spongode. Again, not the worst problem to have. @@nickm9922
