@@junietisdale1074 thanks for watching 🙌🏻 and your kind words 👌🏻

I think there’s a lot more to it then that 😂

@ I agree there is other stuff you need to do such as good husbandry, make sure your salinity is 1.025 and keep parameters stable but this can be a simple hobby and the 3 tips work for me in this tank. Thanks for watching

@fishpalace no problem. I'm actually a horticulturist, so that is something that interests me even though not really a plant

Many thanks for watching and for your kind words. Fantastic, your first reef tank 🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Message me on Instagram if you need to discuss anything 👌🏻

Thanks for watching 👌🏻

@@theeastcoastreefer thanks for watching Steve 👌🏻. Tank is nearly 5 years old and looks the same as it did when I bought it. Quality build 💪

Many thanks for watching and for your comprehensive update 👏🏻👏🏻. The set up in a sumped tank clearly brings it’s own challenges compared to the all in one but sounds like you have it under control 🙌🏻. All the best 👌🏻💪

Thanks for watching 🙌🏻 👌🏻

Just shows how different corals from the same species can be so different. Def need to do your research before you buy a piece so that you place near it far from others. Duncan’s are just great corals to have as easier to care for and add both color and movement to any tank 🙌🏻. Thanks for watching

@@tonycloseukreef3799 thanks for watching and your comments 👌🏻 the floating aquascape has been a joy to create and maintain

So much is made of torches and Goni’s, which we both lower and love, but not the best corals to start with when your learning this hobby. So many other colourful corals that are hardier and still pop

Thanks for watching and great to briefly meet you last week in London 👌🏻👍🏻

Thanks for watching 🙌🏻. Glad you agree 👍🏻

Thanks Ron. Just watched your video with new camera. Love the colour and clarity, nice one

Different across my tanks. 2m per week in 100L tank that has a 20% water change; 4ml per week in a 280L tank that has all for reef and 2 ml per week in 170l tank that has all for reef and 10% water change per week. The good news is it is difficult to overdose as it can participate. Not sure if that helps 🤞🏻

@fishpalace thanks Paul big help

That is good to know and a simple but effective improvement 👏🏻

As reefers we tend to tinker but I agree set up and go wins for me 👍🏻

I am still using Gen 3 radions that are 9 years old. They grow coral just fine. IMO Gen 4 are great value too and a big step up from Gen 3 so worth a look. Thanks for watching

@@pelagicswimmer snap. I set it up and let it play. Mind you I first used radions when it was not in an app so making changes was a real pita. Thanks for watching and just caught up on your latest video. Something always seem to go wrong when you are away. Hope the Goni recovers 🤞🏻

Same Rob. Set and forget. Thanks for posting Paul!

Thanks for watching Ron. The more I reef the more I am thinking less tinkering although practice what i preach is not easy

Questions can be sent via email to the attention of Paul to emai address sales@aac-online.co.uk

Thanks for watching. Nice one as I missed the raffle despite being at Aquah, great show 💪

Thanks for watching and look forward to seeing you on the 26th 👌🏻🙌🏻👍🏻

Thanks Rob. Looking forward to seeing you and hearing about your diving trip 👌🏻. I have thoroughly enjoyed the last 3 1/2 years and now right time to move on 🙌🏻

😂

Thanks for watching and for your kind words 👌🏻😎

Thanks buddy. They are improving every week and I am in the groove with maintenance, which I think helps 💪👍🏻👌🏻

I love it not only as an ATO but as a tank monitor with temp and leak monitor. The sensor failed after 12 months but fair play to Red Sea they replaced it within 2 working days. I made a 12 month review video and couple of months ago, if your interested. Thanks for watching

@@fishpalace thanks, I have almost got one several times. my only reluctance really is the inability to integrate with Apex, I need to see where my Apex journey goes, its stalled at the moment but what I really want is one App with everything in :-) I'll find your 12 month review and take a look.

Apex has an ATO but not looked at for years so not sure if spec or how good it is. Totally understand aligning all your kit with 1 app though. I love my apex and had it for over 9 years. This is on the nano where I don’t have an apex.

Thanks for watching. The candy cane started to go downhill before I moved the torch off of the sandbed. I think it was parameter related as I dosed loads of silicate, no water changes and let the tank try and sort itself out. Only after getting back to basics has it turned around

Hiya Gaz. No livestream this evening and Jay has posted more about tonight and next week. 🙌🏻

@@fishpalace yes I seen mate. Everyone is shocked to be honest. I’m sure you all have good reasons and other priorities come first of course.

Nice video Paul 👏

Thanks for watching and for your support 💪👍🏻👌🏻

I agree, dry rock was appealing and now not much you can do as hardly any live rock around. The value of livestock and the biodiversity it brings is off the scale and I would take live rock with risk of pests, compared to current position I agree chucking bottled bacteria, fish and corals in from day 1 is a challenge and certainly not something I would try. Thanks for watching 🙌🏻

Thanks for message. Let me take a look and I will post the details on here. Some LFS sell the unit as a kit so you get the pod, fittings and also piping. Might be worth a look. Are you Uk based as I can point you in right direction?

@@fishpalace Thanks for getting back to me. I'm in London but I've been impatient and already sourced all the bits individually 😂 I should have waited and bought the kit you mentioned.. hopefully it all works out 😅

@@0li986 chuffed you sorted it out 👌🏻

Thanks for the comment. Home the move goes well 🤞🏻

From what I understand from this interview you can use AFR and Lou knows of other reefers with bigger tanks that do use it. Not sure how economical it is to other Tropic Marin methods so you may need to compare and see.

Thanks for watching, really appreciate it 👌🏻

Thanks for watching and your kind words 👌🏻

Thanks for watching and like the cut line at an angle 🙌🏻. Adding minor trace elements is a big plus and corals love it 👍🏻👌🏻💪

Thanks for watching Rob. I suppose it’s a compliment that 2nd hand Ecotech equipment is so popular. I have far more ecotech 2nd hand than brand new kit 🤷‍♂️

There prices have gone up but so have a lot Of other things across both our hobby and in general. The good thing is we don’t have to buy Ecotech as there are other brands out there although despite trying a few I still believe ecotech has been the best for me, since starting a tank just over 10 years ago 🤷‍♂️

I bought orphek natura icons just because everyone uses radions.

Orphek were really popular in uk a few years back but don’t see many reefers using them. I totally get where you are coming from in trying something different. I like the Phillips coral care but big ole units and don’t really go with the tanks I currently have

@@fishpalace if I could share pics of these lights on here I would, they have such a natural spectrum. I'm not a fan of the drowned out blue spectrum. And I agree, the Philips coral care spectrum looks so good!

@@Pontiuspilate666 I agree. I am not a lover of deep blue other than at end of day and prefer a whiter light as you can see the true colour of your fish and a more natural colour of your corals.

I agree they do make great products and prices reflect that. Why do you think it is a bad thing as there is plenty of competition out there?

They certainly seems to be the pioneers of the AB spectrum that is widely used across numerous brands of LED lights

I know. I could not keep up with the insults. They ❤️ one another really and that is what boys do but not usually on camera. 💪👌🏻. Thanks for watching

CLASSIC

March and Paul were tip top entertainment. Take a look as great entertainment including maybe the first reefer to play a guitar on a livestream 😳

Thanks Paul to both you and March, really appreciate it 🙌🏻 and a very entertaining evening. That would be great fun to watch, a reefers top 10 songs although it would be hard to beat this original tune 🫣

Sounds like you have your tank dialed in and auto water change sounds the most appealing to me, especially on a larger tank. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment 👌🏻

@@fishpalace it's getting there :) it's only a 2ft cube but the aim from the start has been make it as easy as possible 👍 the downstairs toilet is on the opposite side of the wall of the tank. Dosing tubes, top up tube and water change tubes all go through a hole into the downstairs toilet where the ro unit and xepta is etc. So nice being able to just chuck some salt in a container that already has a heater and pump in the just press some buttons on your phone to take water in and out. Before this I had several tanks that always kinda stalled and I've come to realise, at least for me, the more time you put Into making the weekly jobs as easy as possible to do, before you start adding live stock, the more likely you are to do them.

@@Mark-hb2zy totally agree. The more hassle it is to maintain the less likely you are to do it and the tank slides. Identifying and sorting is key although overlooked.

And it does need to be expensive either. Jebao pumps, xepta £170 2nd hand, noopsyche lights, bubble Magus filter roller. I've had all the echotech stuff and everything top of the range and it honestly didn't make my tank any better, just my bank balance smaller 😭 Glad I found the channel btw. We seem to have lost a lot of channels in the last couple of years. it's nice to see a few new ones are gaining a bit of traction and getting support from some of the more well known names like march. A few years ago the bigger channels were promoting the smaller channels and helping build a community, that's been missing lately

I know what you mean about 2nd hand. I bought a Red Sea reefer 9 years ago for about 40% of retail price. Still using the MP40, apex dos and radion xr30 Gen 3’s but lots of options out there and save so much money. 👌🏻

Thanks for watching. The candy store of LFS in the UK 🍭 🪸 care required as your pockets will be lighter 💷💷

think i probably done 1/16th of your first year in siporax :D hahaha

Thanks for watching and comments. Having a garage certainly comes in handy and I am sure anyone who has been in the hobby for a while will have accumulated tonnes of stuff that will never be used again, in their garage or shed. I remember siporax well as only been in hobby a few months when Paul starting selling it and had a few pieces in a a 100L tanks. 👌🏻👏🏻

@@LukeGreen_ haha -nice one

Thanks for watching and for your kind words 👌🏻👍🏻🙌🏻

Thanks for the comment and the great thing is you have the opportunity to watch on playback 💪🙌🏻. Thanks for watching

The question is can you say pest free and be 100% sure 🤷‍♂️

Thank you 🙏🏻

Know exactly what you mean Phil. Paul has such a great way of explaining the hobby

Anytime Paul. What a great and very different event you are hosting on the 26th October. Look forward to it 🙌🏻

@@ReefRondo thanks for joining the chat and chuffed you enjoyed it 🙌🏻👌🏻
