It's an old AI tank mounting system that is no longer available.

Lydgate beach is calm because there's rocks that are put around the beach to keep the waves from crashing in. There are fishes in that pool of water. There is a school of large yellow fin tangs there are well. Probably 20 or more and they are up to 2 ft in length. There's also a lot of smaller fishes as well by the rocks.

@@ModernReefer how deep is the deepest part of the water within the rocks?

@@user-sj9ri2gh8k It's deep. Probably over 12ft

You may need to reach out to Red Sea to see if they now include the support beam in their new tanks.

Yes I was hoping to hear some new releases from Neptune but have not. Hopefully they are able to develop something for nutrient testing.

Thats good news! Thanks for sharing.

Hydros has 1 set to release also

@@charlieinabox1850 I just say that recently. Neptune has one too.

That means to make it green (tint with green water) so the fish keeps swimming around looking for food; otherwise the stay at the edge of the bucket.

We are getting closer but just not quite there yet.

I'm told it'll be out in April for the US market. Still waiting at the moment.

How much are they in china? Can't find anything online, only one in Singapore.

Yes you need one of these units. It's an essential these days with so many outages.

I love my puffer too! Seems to be SPS safe so far.

I've never tried that. I've actually changed back to the normal default schedule so I can get more readings.

I totally agree. Have water parameters measures take a lot of the guess work out and it makes the hobby more enjoyable.

Prices need to come down though and reagent costs. But with ICP now available, is it really necessary? If ICP prices come down more or there was a subscription base, being able get a bigger insite to the tank, it kinda makes them pointless.

I think it's not necessary but it would make it that much more enjoyable if one doesn't have the time to consistently test. I like being notified when a parameter is off so that adjustments can be make as soon as possible.

@ModernReefer I think machines of this complexity are always going to break down at some point. Will people bother with maintenance? Probably not. People have issues with the trident because they never clean the machine until a issue arrises. ICP you have no headaches. Just post the sample and wait for the results. They do all the maintaining of their equipment on a regular basis to lab spec.

@@adambundy2639 nothing wrong with icp but it’s way better to have daily tests done for you than not. One day these machines will get easier and more reliable (and cheaper when more people are using them). Innovation is always a good thing in any hobby. It will take time.

Sorry I no longer have this tank.

yes. This is a factory auto setup for Red Sea fish tanks so the factory ATO tank has a tube that goes to a float switch in the sump. I'm applying the same principle from the external bucket to the ATO tank.

@@ModernReefer thx you for your help

Interesting and thanks for sharing.

hum.... not sure. Maybe?

I'm going to get a 500ml bottle to try for a month to see if it'll help.

Could it be DIY coral snow and coral snow he has which is branded is not the samething

@@ModernReefer Please do an update video on this. Thanks.

@@mabdulmajeed1 That is one of the things I need to try again and do it for a month long to see if the results are better. The last time around, I did it for a week and then stopped because I ran out of the coral snow. I'm told I should do it for a month at least. I'll get some ordered and try again soon.

Thanks for sharing the info. I have over 40 bumblebee and they don't go after the large vermetid snails. If I broke the vermetid shell, then they do their work but I just don't have the time to crack all the shells unfortunately.

For me, I look at the the flow requirements for the tank, ca reactor, media reactor, etc and then add them all together. I then multiply by 2 so that I have room for adjustments later on as pumps do get slower over time. I also like to run my pumps 50-60% power so that it's not on max.

Same here.

Mine were sealed with pvc glue. The threaded part were sealed with sealing tape.

Thanks!!

I tried one bottle of Coral Snow but didn't see any results. Some suggest trying a few bottles but those bottles are pretty expensive. I'll have to try it again at a later date.

I totally agree. I hate these burgers.

Coral Snow is pretty expensive. I'm curious, how long did you dose before seeing results?

@@ModernReefer regarding Vermitids I think I used it for 3 months and they were mostly gone. But my population had already dropped and I just bought the Calcium Carbonate (I think that is what it is) from a chemical manufacuturer (along with some other chemicals). IMO there's no real difference if you are trying to get rid of the Vermitids and I am not sure if KZ add anything else. I've become a very lazy reefer lately but if I wasn't DIYing the carbonate, adding some bacteria and food (I added Aminos and I think TM Bactobalance) is the way to go with a caveat... I've used some bacteria and some aminos in the past where I suspect they caused negative impacts on my corals. Having them bound up in the snow I think means they either get captured by the corals OR removed by the skimmer / become inert. This is why TMs Coral Snow thing is different and what I think they are trying to achieve - feeding the corals - as it didn't clarify the water when I was using. I still have it but MUCH prefer the DIY method as per Reefsite dot com's method. Also, Vermitids were not on my list as to reasons why I did it but I would definitely recommend doing it if they are a problem which mine used to be... I actually wonder what caused my population to drop... possibly using less coral foods and / or ozone... and saying that I'd add my foods into the snow in the future. Happy reefing! :)

I only replaced the leds. Is that what you're referring to? Check out the links in the description

Thanks for sharing.

Yep, I read that also. They will not eat flakes or pellets. They then starve. Also try a uv sterilizer. If they have a free swimming larvae stage the uv will sterilize them and they will not be able to reproduce.

I've been feeding less and and with coral snow. I'll give my input in the next video.

I saw that too. It's been tempting but I also bought the f2000 so I think I'll have to hold off for now.

How are the fans when above 500w

I can still access the webpage to enter in the code so Id assume it still works.

That is totally true. All one need is just a battery to power the dc pumps until the power comes back on. I went a little overboard here but I wanted to see how it would do with everything running.

Is he going after the larger vermetid snails or just the small ones? Also, what size blue speed puffer did you get?

@@ModernReefer only noticed him going after the small ones but must say i only have a few large ones. I take them out with plier if i see them. He is about the size of a regular clown fish.

@@incognitoreef Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing. I'm now only feeding what the fish can consume with frozen brine shrimp and a quarter sheet of nori. Let's see what happens.

Hopefully you get it fixed.

🤙

Unfortunately I did and this is the result of that.
