Justtt a little... 😂

I have a Radion Gen 2 Pro over my fluval 13.5 gallon softy tank.

Thank you Patricia, friend in Peru! 🙌

My "work shirt" probably helped. 🤓

I am feeling that pain in the 135g... I am starting to find little pieces on the opposite side of the tank, lol!

@@InappropriateReefer oh no 🙈 maybe just for my nano then, but not the bigger tank coming 😅

Beware of xenia. I just gave my xenia to my lfs. I would remove about a third of it every week. It was on its own rock island. A weed is an understatement for it

Toggle Bolts into the dry wall ceiling (amzn.to/3kbH0PM); that's also how I hung the heavy lights + rail over my 135g, as well as the heavyyy T5 Hybrid light fixture over my 45g.

@@InappropriateReefer wow such a simple solution! Thank you!

I lost the mate for one of this pair before, and for the 4-5 months the original pair have been in this tank, they would not touch any dry food and were strictly going after frozen & liquid. After one of the original pair passed, I specially waited until PetCo got a group in that would eat flake (I asked them to feed at the store), I bought two, and waited until the 3 fish figured out a pair (the original fish picked one of the new ones), and along the way the original fish "learned" to eat flake from the new fish before I rehomed the odd-man-out. So in my particular case, the new fish that already came eating dry food "taught" my original fish to eat them, I did not have luck weaning the original pair onto dry food. I was also afraid to go too long starving them in order to force them onto dry food from frozen. Sorry if this is not too helpful...

Nice choice, it's my favorite type: Purple Candelabra

Your last sentence really hit home for me. 😂 May I ask how large is your tank? Trying to get a sense of what percentage of water change you do once a week. Cool to hear that Monti & Poccliporas are growing fine under the PAR38!

Amen, high end sps more like a science experiment than reefing. Hahah

That's a cool idea to have sps in the sump where they can get free higher flow

Interesting, I did not know of this morph, thanks for the heads up! Almost looks like the "Enlongated Xenia" from back in the days. Let me see if I could track a frag down!

@@InappropriateReefer Tidal Gardens and Corals Anonymous are selling them! I got some a few weeks ago for my Xenia garden and it adds a really nice red pop!

9:30am-6pm - 20% Intensity, UV: 100, Violet: 45, Royal: 75, Blue: 65, Green: 50, Red: 35, Warm White: 50, Cool White: 50; overall Schedule Intensity is 71%, I think I was in the process of slowly ramping it up and then I forgot, lol.

@@InappropriateReefer you're awesome! Thank you! 🙏

Hey man, no worries, mixing water is super easy. You just need a way to measure salinity (amount of salt in the water), a refractometer (~$30) can reliably tell you. You'd just have a bucket of water, add salt into it and keep measuring, until you get the right amount (35 ppt). If you overshot, just pour some out and add water again. Simple. Water will slowly evaporate from your aquarium, but won't while you are mixing your water. As to getting water to your house, if budget allows, an RODI until (~$150 - $200) is always a solid investment, especially if going to the store & transporting water is problematic. Alternatively if you are doing a small tank, you may be able to use delivered drinking water (those 5 gallon jugs), or maybe even order pre-mixed saltwater from PetCo. OR if you are really daring and don't mind a little algae... heck, I used tap water straight out of the faucet for years and it has been fine, I just have a little more algae, lol. YMMV depending on the quality of tap water in your area. For actual suggestion on mixing saltwater, check out Bulkreefsupply's video on mixing saltwater, they go in-depth of some of the do's and don'ts. Just don't get intimidated, this hobby can be pretty simple if you plan to start out with simple to keep corals.

@@InappropriateReefer tank you so much for your reply, now it seems much easier as my area has the best tap water of whole germany. I could get maybe some diatomes if the saltwater ones also like silicates as the freshwater do. I dont mind them at all, just some scrubbing every now and than from the glass ^^ Im glad to hear that a refractometer doesnt cost as much and you dont kill your corals by using something else as RODI water

Solid idea, I think I'll look into that or some general run-of-the-mill red shrooms!

RED?! NO NO NOO!! ..It has to be a cool name!.. buy regular red..but SAY you got some Macintosh 2.0's or PimplePoppers ... orrr the Fraggle Rock Ricordea ..the new Redrum Smoorshum is hot nowadays. ... a $300 Barry Allen perhaps.. Or the uber rare UB40! Great Vid! Alot of people including me needed to see tanks like this right now. (As I drain my 125 system & change from internal tower to external shadow overflow on side with a faux cabinet to hide that & the 4 foot tall pentair uv!.. But all due to trying & beat bryopsis & diatoms for good that continually reappear on the megaflow tower days after 3rd entire tank rocks sand & coral cleaning & peroxide dipping.

@@InappropriateReefer thank you for your response I have a g3 xr30 over a fluval 13.5 running ab+ at 33% overall mabey i need to slowly ramp it up

Thanks man, you're too kind!

Great idea, I will try to find some ;-)

Just watching this and just said the same thing… 8 months later lol
