I think those Lifegard aquariums were at Niagara. If they were not Lifegard there was a booth that had aquariums with this same 45 Degree cut corner. They were very nice looking tanks.

Awesome info, been thinking about starting a 20 nano. Love the simplicity of it. Question for you on quarantining and diseases. Recently got a coral beauty have them in quarantine with the green wrasse. They’ve been in for a little over four weeks, three weeks ago Coral beauty developed a whitish spot ,discoloration over eye, have done three treatments with Prazipro five days apart no results. Thinking it might be HLLE, Do you know if this would be contagious to other fish and is there any treatment for this? Also contemplating putting the wrasse In the main display or should I wait till Coral beauty is healed?

I just upgraded to a Lifegard 24 gallon all in one from a cheap walmart 10 gallon. beautiful tank. I'm new to reefing so can't say how good overall. My one complaint is that the included pump is either overpowered or the overflow grate is too small to keep pace. I had to install a valve on the return hose to dial the flow back more than the pump allowed.

Sounds like a nice upgrade! You could always use a small DC pump but choking the slow back works too!

You mentioned skimmer lowering salinity since it can removes saltwater and ATO adds RODI. Would this affect be balanced out if dosing kalk which can raise salinity longterm? Maybe this is true for larger tanks? Thoughts?

Great video and info. Since the nano calcium reactor was mentioned I was looking at it. But I have searched and haven’t found any way of how to run water from the tank to the reactor and back. If anyone has a suggestion would love to know. Not much info on running a dosing pump on the calcium reactor for that purpose. Purchasing the big Kamoer pump is the only option I’ve seen till now. Thnx.
@ReefDudes
@ReefDudes 5 жыл бұрын
elvis fernandes you could also use a power head or any small water pump and limit the flow via a valve. Kamoer is one of the better choice but not the cheapest option

For now I just do a 20% weekly water change for now but I feel like I’ve reached the point where coralline is starting to grow and I’ve gotten way more corals and anemones growing I think I may start dosing all for reef but I feel like I need to set the money aside to buy good precise test kits so I know for sure how much my numbers jump after dosing a certain amount of the all for reef I would rather deal with my limited coral growth for a lil while longer than try to start dosing without precise testing and end up killin some of my coral I have several animals and anemones that are irreplaceable so I don’t wanna get out of hand and mess something up that jus doesn’t make sense and I don’t trust jus going by the api alkalinity test it’s murky u get diff results half the time on it could be off by up to 1 dkh either direction and u have to guesstimate the results also going to change lights I think that’s holding me back more than the parameters are my led is 3yrs old and it’s jus not as intense and certain diodes have dimmed more than others and the spectrum is jus not the same to the naked eye it looks awesome but I jus think it’s time to upgrade to a better light then I’ll probably definitely need to dose haha

Yes yes yes! In my quarantine tank, i have no ATO on it and i manually add fresh water every morning and evening. On the weekends, every time i check up on the fish, i'll add a bit of water. Same would apply to the main display.

Anything under 10 is considered pico. Love pick tanks. I'm more successful with those than nano or larger. Just built a 5.4 gallon with lifegard aquatics Crystal clear aquarium and only use aqamai kps for circulation and AI Prime HD for equipment. That's it. Water changes weekly. I do 2 sixty percent or more water changes simultaneously. My 3 gallon cracked sadly so got the 5.4g.
