Welcome to the life of an addicted reefer. I started with one and then developed a passion/obsession. I now have a total of 10 total tank running in my home. Two of which are Fresh Water. Due to certain medical issues, I was told to find an outlet and this became an outlet for severe anxiety and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). I normally wouldn't share that but I want to because I know there are many more out there with same or similar obstacles and want to make it Okay to live and learn from it. Anyways..... this channel is of my journey in keeping reef tanks. I hope you truly enjoy it and think about subscribing and maybe one day becoming a member.

Avast Marine Kalk Reactor / Stirrer - 1 Year Review! Convenient Way to Dose Kalkwasser to your Reef!
bump the intensity! those zoas are asking for it haha
I actually have this tank sitting in my shed. might set it back up later down the road.
What's it doing in the shed?! Set it up!
Would you recommend the magnetic rock? Thats the 10 hole aqua rock right? Highly considering getting one. And great video very unique tank! Sub =D
I've been using it for several months now and I'll say that it have been wonderful. I've used other brands that eventually open at the magnet area and release rust in my tank. I have not noticed it at all here. Looks like new inside. Very happy with it.
love this tank, but they stopped making them when i got into the hobby.
Yes. I had been looking for it for some time. Found it used. Bummer for sure.
I dont get it....
The fish ate the inside of the clam, it’s now dead.
@SavannahJane-l3t lol got ya!!!Ty
Got a copperband in my box. Loving it❤
I need a frag of that lol
It perished 😫
@@queencityreefsit happens
You have to get the full kit
@aymanmorsy19 yes. There's a full kit now but this review was when he had not made it yet.
Apex sucks balls. Can you control this skimmer via app on iPhone?
@HugDeeznueces not this particular skimmer, no. I saw that they came out with app controlled controller for the powerhead do maybe there is an upgrade for these?
Is this under a nicrew?
@@josephfriedrich9792 no. Hydra 26 hd.
Give us an update on how it’s doing please.
@@Jonathan0692 you got it! Coming soon! I'll include it as part of the next tank update.
What stand design is that ? Is it one of the ones from planet?
@@zacharyvasser2996 it is. I got it years ago so not sure if they still offer it. Modern or something like that.
@queencityreefs appreciate your replys man your tank is legit my goal right now lol currently debating on buying 3 more g6 xr15s to have 6 on it initially or doing 4-6 nicrew 200ws
@zacharyvasser2996 my pleasure. Yeah, id say 6 is a good start. Depending on the corals you want to keep you'll be good at 6 or add more.
@queencityreefs definitely going to be a mixed reef I have 3 xr15s on my waterbox 125.4 right now that would be getting swapped so I might run some AI Blades or OR bars to supplement. Did you do a par video when you had the g4s on there ?
@zacharyvasser2996 ua-cam.com/video/xrFqZcUPGqI/v-deo.html
Aux cable got me too glad I watched this lol
Nice set up. Grab some. Meso blues.
At 40 bucks a month man, I'd run a goddamn airline outside for the skimmer. And if you can't run a skimmer because it pulls too much out, just don't do any skimming, just run a needlewheel pump in the sump with the air intake going outside.
@Spunk_Mckunkles agreed. Running it outside didn't work for me. But I did find different co2 scrubbing media that puts me at about 15 a month. Maybe less. I personally can work with that. Thanks for watching. 🙏🏻
@queencityreefs fosho, glad you found something that works man. 40 bucks would have been insane, that's more expensive than the salt at that point.
Looking amazing my friend! Those new lights are very tempting...
@zburnreefing thanks man! I cannot say enough good things about them. If you love the metal halide look which you do, you won't regret it.
I'm looking at getting this same tank as my next build thanks for the videos!
Looks good
Also could you please tell me what the long greenish yellow fish is that spends most of its time up the right hand side of the tank at the bottom. Have a good day brother😊😊
@andrezejobuch4527 i believe you may be referring to the yellow tilefish?
@@queencityreefs Ahhh yes that's the one!!! I thought it may be one of those. Thanks very much my friend. Enjoy your new lighting. You sprayed the diffusers well buddy
My friend, your tank is going to absolutely knock it out of the park!!! Great selection of fish and the rock work is inspired. May you have an amazing new year and I hope the tank keeps getting better. All the best from East Anglia UK 😊😊😊
@andrezejobuch4527 thanks for the support my friend 🧡
Are you going to get their blue led bars to go with them?
I most definitely am!
Looking good Dennis The shade came out nice. Did you have to prep the silver before you spray?
No prep. Just remove dust.
@@SaltWaterSteve1 not really. Just wiped with a bit of alcohol.
@@queencityreefs 🤙🏽
@ cheers 🤙🏽
How many gallons your tank???
@rommelestrera939 awww you didn't watch the full video huh? 😟 It is a 310 gallon tank. 😉
The aquscape is beautiful in this tank. 😍
Thanks buddy!
The Carib sea rock sucks. I cut a piece in half. No porosity at all! It's all solid concrete
@@billssaltwaterheaven I've started to realize that. I may be switching it out little by little in the near future.
Haven't got into the rollers yet.
Yes. I've started to realize that. I may start changing them out little by little in the near future.
Wow the fish look nice under those lights! I like the spectrum. Excited to see how this tank grows out!
Thanks bud 🙏🏻
🤑🤑
I love the look of these lights, wish we had people like Luca making lights in the UK.
Psyched for this video!
Enjoy the video I'm saving to get my dream tank but until then I really enjoy going through the journey with you be safe enjoy your week
Thanks so much for the support 🙏🏻 ❤️ I'm rooting for you on getting that dream tank!
You need the messa blues
Happy New Year , Brother. I always look forward to your uploads. You never disappoint. I don't think these light are for everyone for sure, but they have there place. I'm looking forward to 2025 and getting my own tank looking better. keep doing you , that's what we all love about this channel. looking for the next one.
Hey Wes! Thanks for your continued support. Let me know when you're ready to buy some corals from me. I'll send you a heavily discounted discount code. 🤙🏻
lol😂
Lights look powerful G. I see the vision and great advice regarding your mission towards stability. ❤️ And what’s wrong with negative scapes 😂 😅😅😅
Thanks my friend! Nothing at all my friend. Just don't like them for me. Lol
If you ever get the chance I highly recommend getting a Helio smart heater from innovative Marine one of the best heaters I've ever used they're small and efficient too
@chunkydino6252 thanks! I'll look into them.
Good luck with 2025
This is siiiiiick
Thanks! I just posted a long format video update. Check it out!
For a tank that big you should get on moonshine method. It’s work but Nothing compares. You will be farming stuff out of there in 6 months.
Definitely on my to do list.
Captiv8 compares with significantly less effort.
@@telegraham Forgot about that one. I might give it another go on my new nano. I did try and mix a lot of captiv8's trace before. The bottle sat in the cabinet when I took it offline for a few months and turned into a rust color. Dont know what was up with that.
I have done moonshine and Captiv8 and similar methods. Found moonshiners to be very cumbersome and time consuming vs Captiv8. Plus Captiv8 is way more concentrated so you use less and you save money.
@Yazannreef are there instructions anywhere for captiv8?
So... They are different. It's a personal preference. YMMV. Now I know for sure which version I need.
Man it looks great I'm checking out the lights i like
Heck ya! My corals are loving the Quanta Atlas. And the fish are looking great here too!
I'm telling you. So far nothing but great results.
The “if you have any concerns don’t be an a**h*le about it” gained you a sub for keeping it real 🤘🏼🤣
@Trizzy925 lol real talk on this channel. Welcome to the queen city Reefs family! 🙏🏻
What kind of hammers are the ones that have a long stem, the yellow tip with purple stem
I just got 2 zoster butterflies they are so cute I used to have a yellow but he got stressed by other fish and passed away
@@Peterrdee nice! Do share on my Facebook group Queen City Reefs Lounge.
Thank you for making this video. I had the same problem!
@sptulsa1 glad it helped!
Love ur vids! Respect 🫡 ❤ Cheers! Amazing content :)
Thanks bud! 🙏🏻
Looks great!
I know how to fix the sound. Hit me up and I will show you what I did.
I hate substrate. Takes longer to cycle but... Man! So much nicer
