I'm just a month shy of 1 year on my 1st saltwater tank, which is 3 gallons. I've heard a lot of people say it's better to go with a larger tank as water parameters are easier to keep stable. I wanted the challenge and to learn from doing this on a small scale (to keep costs lower and to learn along the way). I had issues adding some corals about 6 months in but kept with it. I also dealt with a pretty nasty cyanobacteria outbreak. I've successfully been keeping soft leather toadstool and zoas not long after that (for a good 3 months now). Recently added a scolymia and it's doing great. I feed it 2 to 3 times a week.

@WorldWideCorals 20 күн бұрын

Larger tanks are surely a lot more stable and easier to keep than small ones. Parameter swings vary greatly in small volumes of water. I think that sticking with easy corals like you have(zoas and leathers) is the right way to go on such a small aquarium, since they are a lot more tolerable of "imperfect" water qualities.

Good info, like always from your videos! How important is the mechanical filtration to remove all the small particles from a reef? Are they not important to feed the reef? I'm planning for my 650 liter reef to run a triton like sump : refugium chamber, protein skimmer chamber , and return pump, with a small/thin corse sponge in between the chambers, will that not be enough as a mechanical filtration? For a full sps/acro reef, it's a must to have clear waters with no particles ? Thanks

@JoshWWC 27 күн бұрын

Mechanical is important, however it takes far less media or implementation than most use. Particulate is slightly less important than the removal from your water column. If you have ever heard the term heavy in -heavy out? I would prefer crystal clear water and multiple feedings, but it can be just as basic as good clean live rock and filter floss.

What clip on mic are you guys using during these videos?

@flat_linesixx 28 күн бұрын

Im literally at this exact stage. Tank has been running for 15 months, parameters are stable flow/ lights on point and corals are growing and look beautiful but I feel the color could look better. I feed the coral once or twice per week with a mix of reef roids and reef energy ab+ and also do frozen brine and just started feeding pellets occasionally as well. I feed the fish twice a day with either brine or pellets, flakes occasionally. How often do you feed your coral and what variety? I’m really desperate for more color, I’ll try anything you suggest lol

@JoshWWC 27 күн бұрын

I would suspect that if you are feeding your corals to this extent already there is something lacking in another department.

First thing you should do is test your parameters and from there you should be able to figure out the problem

Then once you figured out the problem fix the nutrient low or high then just manual removal really hair algae just pinch it and then the bubble algae you’ll want to turn your flow off and use a siphon and siphon them up making sure you get the spores if they pop too

I love your vlogs, but I found it a bit disappointing twice when watching two video on coral colors as I expected to learn a lot about how to adjust elements to get better coral coloring results. The two videos have been so basic and one hardly handled coloration at all!? I now expect a lot from the next video on this subject for a hobbyist with 10 years of experience and just been starting with SPS.

That's a very detailed video, not sure that's good for a wide range of reefers. I prefer to take an approach to coaching the stuff that works beforehand. In my experience too many folks rely on these trace dosing methods to fix their already unsuccessful hobby. It can be done without successfully first, and then you dial in details with trace.

I fear there is more at play. Slow growth is generally slow metabolism. I am usually the last person to pick on lighting however, if there isn't enough photosynthetic activity the growth will be slow. But that is based on a single comment an little other info. GO back to the point of the video.... if you don't have the first 6 fundamentals down then you surely are getting the results you want.

@@_TheRealDoe If a tank is matured prior to adding corals you can easily have a fully filled out aquarium in 18 months.(obviously in optimal conditions) They grow much better than we give them credit for. We hobbyist are just good at giving them inconsistency and less of what they really want.

@@JoshWWC I feel like ppl like me when in the hobby I thought corals were bigger than they were I thought they grew like plants as well a inch a week. We know not all corals grow that quick neither. And as you stated something else can be at play. If the tank is running for over 6 months and corals been in there for some time it should be a pretty stable tank. High nutrients more light as well correct? You can’t really run high par with low nutrients. A million things to ask. How long has tank been running parameters and everything else and what kinds of corals because sps can be stagnant and take off out of nowhere.
