@@kevin916587 When you are initially filling up the dosing lines you should flick the lines coming to and from the dosing head. Often times bubbles get trapped in there, basically try to run more liquid through your lines while flicking all the bubbles out.

@@Menamejosh My flame hawk is a model citizen. I’d say go for it personally

That’s awesome I’m happy to hear it’s working out for you, I couldn’t agree more!

Thank you I’m glad you think so! I appreciate you watching

It’s an “aqueon planted aquarium clip-on LED light" it works extremely well for growing chaeto. I have it on a timer for ease of use. If you’re interested in any other equipment I use, I made a video breaking down every item in my tank. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video!

Agreed, once it touches the main rockwork it’s over lol

@@joegmontes316 Its a hammer coral!

I think the only real way to solve the issues are with straight standpipes in the overflow instead of a J shape pulling a siphon. That way I can get the water level above the holes, not sure if I’m understanding correctly, but sounds like you’re suggesting something similar? Might have to give it a try! I’m running my return pump at about 3/5 what it’s max GPH is and my overflow box is rated for much more than my current pump is flowing so not sure if that would be the issue. Anyways thanks for the input, sounds like you know what you’re doing and it works well!

@SaltwaterTherapyTV you are correct I'm pretty much saying keep your emergency, add a slightly lower surface syphon and either pull the primary and replace with a screen right at the bulkhead or throw the screen on the u pipe

Glad to hear it, I appreciate you watching the videos!

I’ll check him out! Thanks for the recommendation. It’s crazy how advanced this hobby seems yet simple things like this, only few people have thought of. I guess everyone’s just buying red seas and calling it good lol.

The modular Marine overflow wouldn't solve the water splashing into the sump from the primary drain

What the modular Marine would do is raise the water level in the entire tank hiding it behind the rim, they're specialized for rimmed tanks, there's a cutout in the external box allowing it to sit as high as possible.

@@boj4klayman919 Right, and this in turn lowers the bulkheads through the glass which empty into deeper water. Less waterfall effect like so many other overflows have problems with. I wasn't talking about the sump noise.

@@yowowaho idk how many overflows you've installed but I find what you're saying to not be the case, the modular Marine overflows are about the same if not a little worse for drop distance into the external box

😂 for real man. That’s already unavoidable for me since I got my gf in the hobby

For some reason it sounds like that on video but it’s barely audible in person. Water splashing sound was a major concern of mine and I actually had to redesign the plumbing initially to fix it. Edit: Just realized you’re talking about the beginning of the video. Later in the video you’ll see its different because it’s only loud when I’m cleaning the filter socks!

I use a glass cleaning tool on my 14 gal nano that’s made from the same material as magic eraser! For the 125 gal it’s far more efficient to use a magnetic scraper though because it only takes me 5-10 min and I don’t have to get my arms wet

I completely agree Red Sea looks way better! My original goal was never to compete with the look of a Red Sea, so to me this was just a fun comparison to make. Also I think the price difference does speak for itself because for some people, the time it takes to save up extra money for a Red Sea could be spent as an additional few years in the hobby with cheaper gear.

It definitely can be lol especially as you scale up, but I also think I could have done it way cheaper if I bought everything second hand from marketplace and really knew what I was looking for. I see people score full set ups for like $1000-$1500. Thanks for watching!

Thanks I appreciate the positive feedback! Still going to add so much more, although I only recently started this hobby I know I’m in it for the long run. Mark my words this tank will look professional in a few years

Totally agree for fish! It also looks great for filming, but for corals it’s blue imo

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

My stand is packed full of things both in and around it so I resort to this, plus I’m OCD about it the skimmate smell as it builds up so I guess it’s a blessing in disguise that it forces me to clean the collection cup more often. I do a deeper clean of the lighting every few months, but for for weekly maintenance I just wipe it and dust it. Thanks for watching the vid!

@@SaltwaterTherapyTV I use a sealed tupperwear collection container with a tube on the top that runs back to the skimmer air intake. No smell and keeps the tank evaporation way down. ua-cam.com/video/kpKigSO9sR8/v-deo.html

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

Thanks! It’s truly one of the best corals out there especially the pulsing in low flow environments

@@masteroctopusesanimations153 Yes this is my tank it’s 125 gallons (6ft long) I would say 133 gallons is enough but I wouldn’t put them in a 4 foot tank preferably 6ft if you can but I guess either will work.

I’m not exactly sure which specific manufacturer mine is from, but if you go on Amazon and type in "Anti-jumping net for aquarium” you will find many results for this product or ones similar!

@ ok, thank you. 😊

As an alternative, I went to HD and got storm window screen frame. You get bulk aluminum frame, corner pieces and some of the cording to secure the screen in the frame with the little roller. For screen, I used bird netting. It is a bigger screen with about 1/2 inch squares. It might not work for smaller fish but it works for me. I put two layes of the netting on the frame to tighten up the holes a little but it is so light it barely blocks any light.

Thank you! Good point, I will make a video soon about cost breakdown. From what I’ve gathered if you were to buy a 6ft tank from a company like Red Sea that specifies in reef tanks you would be spending 6-7 thousand dollars for just the tank, sump and stand. I haven’t done the complete breakdown of my costs yet, but I think I’ve spent less than that on everything including tank, sump, stand, all the tech (lighting, ATO, powerheads, return pump, all controllers)

I think I’m actually going to get a 32 for the middle and also order another 16hd so I can have 4 total lights in the middle (basically a cheaper way to achieve the lighting of a 64hd). I dust the internals once a month. UV is set at 40% and V at 65%

Thank you for watching and I’m glad you liked my setup. The link for the screen top is a.co/d/1RxCzPL and as far as the sump kit goes I bought it from the company "Fiji Cube" it’s the 40 gallon breeder sump kit. Fiji cube makes amazing products for people like us trying to go DIY and save money (not sponsored by them just love the product)

Thanks for checking it out glad you like it! I’m getting cool aquascaping kits to add to the rockwork so stay tuned for another video dropping this week

Thanks! Dropping a video about re-scaping tank soon so stay tuned

I used Caribsea Arag-Alive sand. I ended up only using small amounts of the egg crate placed only under some of the larger rocks so 90% (or more) of the bottom panel is not covered by egg crate. I will say I did end up using too much sand (1lb per gallon) so I will likely be removing sand once I add more rock. If I could go back and do it again I would put half as much sand as I did. Thanks for the insight and thanks for watching!

@SaltwaterTherapyTV My pleasure, Sir. I hope that it all goes well for you. 🤙🏼🙂🤙🏼❤️

I never thought of it like this, but that couldn’t be more accurate of an assessment lol

Thank you! The tank manufacturer is Aqueon, it’s a standard size 125 gallon from them.

@@SaltwaterTherapyTV I thought most aqueons tanks were made from tempered glass. You drilled it yourself?

@@navada718yes I drilled it myself, most larger aqueon tanks only have tempered glass on the bottom pane. You can find out by using polarized sunglasses and a phone screen. I was able to figure it out by watching UA-cam videos on how to tell if glass is tempered…and a little bit of luck!

@@SaltwaterTherapyTV okay. Glad to know. You have a new subscriber. Looking forward to you're future content .

Thanks Karim!

I have a light on my sump right now for the refugium but I like your idea of using LED strips or something for additional lighting. Thank you!
