Hey Ryan! Thanks! Actually Colorado graced my skis about 30 years ago! 😃Vail. Beautiful out there! I’d love to go back😊

I’m spoiled grew up riding all over this state. Vail is special, I bet it’s grown 60% in 30 years. Be well.

Hey Mo, I’ve heard of that👍🏻

Damn it was about go say that 🤣🤣🤣 its old but its tried and true

Hey SR! Haven’t ventured into NH yet, put thanks for the invite! 😃👍🏻

Happy New Year to you too Richard! 👍🏻😊

Yes, my only issue with power heads and stirs for nano ATO’s is, they can potentially put too much kalkwasser at one time, and supper saturate, however I Know reefers do it like that. 👍🏻😊

@@TOMReefer yes, I see what you mean. 👍 have fun skiing

Obrigado Reef Costa! tenha um ótimo ano novo! 😃

Thanks Shawn! 😃👍🏻

Hi rixon, the only thing I can say, is the aquacultured mandarin from Sustainable Aquatics I received was eating their own hatchery diet .5m slow sinking pellet. I never had to deal with live pods or baby brine shrimp. That’s key. Most reef collected mandarins don’t survive. I don’t believe Absolutely Fish sells aquacultured mandarins? That’s really all you need. Sustainable Aquatics has a retail outlet called The Coral Reef in Tenn. try them 👍🏻

Hey RG! Sounds great! You want about 18” per light unless you don’t mind your sides not getting that much par. Not sure of the length of either tank? But 18” per light is a decent rule 😃👍🏻

36”x18”x16” I was thinking 2 AI prime HD 16s would work. That’s the same light you use right?

Hey Kris, have thought about stirs, however, in small nanos they run the risk of super saturating your tank. Too much kalkwasser at one time for small tanks, especially if they evaporate water fast.

@@TOMReefer On my 20 gallon fusion i run kalk through a doser along with 2 part and acropower. Just run the tunze for top off. When i make my sat kalk solution i just mix it in a gallon jug, wait until it settles, then pour off the top into my dosing container. Keeps things cleaner and dont have to keep buying pumps. Some say it clogs the doser but i have not ever ran into that problem. Running through a doser also keeps my parameters more consistent.

That’s a decent way to do it Kris 😊👍🏻

Look for my “20 gallon reef tank set up tour”😊👍🏻I show the skimmer, called reef glass

Hi Rudra, I prefer AI prime over the Kessil . I have the AI prime on the 20 gallon and 10 gallon.. They also ramp like yours, however I feel the Kessil is a better fit for 5 gallons and the Pico tank, because of there size. The AI prime is a better light and way more control👍🏻 I use the A 80 to supplement blue and shimmer over the 20 gallon😊

Hey Isaac, Amazon 👍🏻😊 listed a standing chair?

@@TOMReefer thank you Tom, I’ll look it up.

Hey Arthur, the AI is a step above the Kessil. Better control, better color control, (app) Kessil is good for smaller tanks 5 gallon and under. real good shimmer. 👍🏻

@@TOMReefer thanks for your answer but which one makes the all coral colours pop more?

Ai Prime

Hi YellowThang123, a pair of clowns in a 10 might have issues of aggression toward any other fish. Even each other. Not at the beginning, but after they grow. A watchman goby could work.

@@TOMReefer Thank you! And what would you recommend as a clean up crew? I was thinking maybe a cleaner or blood shrimp, a hermit crab, and two snails.

I always add hermit crabs and Astrea snails. 1 of each per 1 1/2 gallons 👍🏻

Haha, hey Dave, you caught me at a good time. Long story short, this used to be a guest bedroom in the apartment, I converted into the Tom Reefer Studio 😃and my cave 😃

Hey Jed, 😃now it depends on what you think is high. I keep mine between 0.1. - 0.5, more towards 0.3 - 0.5. Have had no problems, however I keep a 0 -1 ppm nitrate. I believe it’s because of stability in all the parameters, so there’s no phosphate increase rapidly. 👍🏻

That’s an experimental tank (10 gallon ) your talking about. I’m deliberately letting it grow. That tanks does have a rather high phosphate level 0.3. The level in the 20 gallon is almost the same. No hair algae at all. 👍🏻
