I just updated my 45cm cube nano that also run with Tidal 110 to a 200 litretank. No skimmer just one wavemaker. The good thing about Tidal 110 is besides high volume is the flow that you adjust a little, you can just use the surface intake, one can fit a sufficient heater inside it and you can have the cooler fan on top of the filter instead of the tank.

Absolutely!

I have a couple of XR15s and the PAR at 100% isn't anywhere near the PAR of my XR30s at 70%. One of my tanks is a similar sized tank and this has inspired me to do a reboot on it. What a great little tank this is and I love that it doesn't have all the expensive gear on it. It makes Blake's efforts even more impressive.

That tank is awesome. K.I.S.S. really shows here. Just a thought, the light seems a bit high for the g5 or g6 radions. BRS has done tests to show the best heights for spread and par. The newer generations just have way more spread. Seems to be a small amount of spillage outside the tank.

I turned my aqueon 30 gallon tank to a reef tank no sump , using a canister filter but after keeping it for over 3 years my next build I will definitely get a sump 😂 . All the gear would be hidden underneath instead of having all kind of equipment on top of the tank like his

@ParkersReef

28 күн бұрын

Oh for sure, a sump is always a better option - but this is still an incredible result for a system that was never meant to produce results like this :)

ive found if you dont want your nem to move increase your flow and stick it in the lowest flow location which sort of traps them there. until the power goes out or you do maintenance on your wave makers haha as for the gsp i hear of this alot. i.had my whole back wall covered in gsp then they closed up and melted. i have maybe a 50cent peice size remaining. it was thankfully given to me after it melted in store and only had 2 polyps left withinn 12 months it had spread across the whole back well besides the shaddows and it looked great..hoping that in a year from now it will be back to what it was but after 2 years without skipping a beat my tanks been over compensating and having back to back problems. probably due becoming complacent

@ParkersReef

28 күн бұрын

Yeah that’s certainly one way to tackle it 👍🏻

Great job. Xr15’s are a weak light. Ecotech is pretty, works great but are way over priced for the power the have. When you look at horticulture lighting you learn quick about leds real cost and the real cost is way way cheaper than reef pricing.

@ParkersReef

28 күн бұрын

For sure, but sadly horticulture lights are not suitable for our use case :)

It’s been proven time and time again you can grow any kind of coral with cheaper lighting. That narrative is just wrong. I love the simple unconventional equipment, you can run an amazing tank this way!

@ParkersReef

27 күн бұрын

For sure you can! But it can be a bit of luck with cheaper lighting

I actually feel the opposite about lights. My first tank I ran g5 Radions and was a little annoyed at how little par I got from them. I don't see the hype with these lights.

What were you switching from though? Radions are a decent product, but they are certainly not the only viable option out there
