🙏🏻

Thanks 🙏🏻 I’m glad it’s helpful! I wasn’t sure if it would be lol

Once the tank was fully established I rarely had to do water changes. I found all I needed was a UV sterilizer and filter floss. It pretty much took care of itself. It did crash when I tried to move it to my new house.

@cooleyscoral3456 that's my plan to hopefully I won't have to do many water changes at all. I have 1 to maybe 1 in half inches of sand and 8lbs of live rock Did you use a wavemaker or a powerhead? What brand of a uv stabilizer did you use? Do you have anything for sake? Ty ty

Thanks 🙏🏻 and yes it is a sinularia. It’s probably my favorite coral right now 👍

I definitely had my fair share of problems. Just stick with it and you’ll figure out what works best for you!

I think now not having sand is better for sure. Not having to vacuum it or worry about it causing problems with phosphates or holding unwanted pests. When the tank was getting established I did have some hard times with cyano and dinos. Maybe it would have been easier with sand at that time. I do like the look of sand and sand dwelling critters but in the long run I’d say no sand is easier.

Yes Cooley, in the future when I get another Fluval 13.5 I will try no sand! 😀👍

For filtration all I use is Poly-fill polyester fiber, carbon and a UV sterilizer. You can watch my filtration video and see exactly what I use and how it’s all set up. Hopefully this answers your question 👍

That is a Flipper Nano I got from bulk reef supply 👍

A heater is a must

@@cooleyscoral3456 thanks

@@cooleyscoral3456 i bought a 5 gallon with sand, a heater, thermometer, airstone as well as finishing it with premade saltwater. How often should I top the saltwater with freshwater and how much

You need to mark your water line in the overflow compartment of the tank. You will add fresh when the water level drops below the line. Probably every day you’ll need to add.

@@cooleyscoral3456 thank you

Yes 20% weekly about 2 1/2 gallons 👍

Is your tank cycled? Are your parameters in check? Nitrates and phosphates? Are you doing water changes with RODI water? Is your salinity good?

Everything is perfect by Canada corals my friend I just don’t know why they melted on me
