Such a beautiful tank. I like that you include all your systems in the updates as well as the tank inhabitants. As for videos, I would appreciate kind of an updated video on your strategies for dealing with Tang aggression, especially since you're dealing with some of it right now! I have a Scopas wreaking havoc on my Yellow, and tbh, if I have to I'll just rehome the Scopas but I would rather not. I know keeping multiple Zebrasomas in the same tank can kind of innately cause issues but so far slow acclimation and introduction, the mirror trick, and completely rearranging the scape and reintroducing everyone to the tank have been short-lived bandaid solutions.

I hated my xr15's due to the light spill. Those shades were some of the best investments I've made on my tank. Your tank is looking awesome man!

Appreciated ! Killing the spill was def worth it. I went through prob 10+’revisions to get it perfect while still staying sleek

Great video Devon! Amazing how big that red dragon is. I nuked 2 of them with Acro par. Your par is lower that's why it's thriving. One of mine turned into a full colony, grew up towards the light until it got to much and melted. 😂

Beautiful tank. Has your Coral Beauty been nipping at those SPS polyps? I am contemplating buying one too, but I also have an SPS dominated tank. This scares me a little.

@ReefDudes

10 ай бұрын

They are hit and miss. Some Can nip and other are mostly safe. If you have enough it tends to not annoy any one too much. Ironically my sailfin does the most nipping in the tank on a gorgonian

did you measure the light/par drop after placing the top cover? usually they reduce lights quite a bit

Where did you get your push fittings for your DOS?

Hello, Sorry if I missed this but I know you use a CarRX and kalk for dosing but how do you dose trace elements if you do at all? Or if so, what brand/method do you use?

What did those screen tops run you I lost a coral beauty I had for about a year-and-a-half when I got home from work my dog was holding him in his mouth and I'm like oh no the last time I had a fish jump was like 20 years ago I guess it's better to play it safe and get a top

@ReefDudes

100% agree, open top does look good but not worth losing a fish over. Have to keep our fishy friends safe!

Hey i ordered same tank i notice you dont have any powerheads on the view end of your peninsula. How do you manage flow on that side. Ive been breaking my head wondering what powerhead id add on that side and how to run its cables. Would much rather no add anything at all.

Im looking to hire someone to come out with knowledge and experience to consult with me on my reef tank and then make what ever changes we come up with. ie: add equipment, plumbing and adjust everything to optimize for maximum coral growth. I would really like the equipment installed clean and tidy as yours is. I haven’t found anybody in my city that is willing to do that. It’s a big ask but I’ll pay for the service.
