Aqua-Print : the best 3d printed accessories? AquaH 2024
Run a magnet through it, I'll think you'll be surprised. Also there is a better way 😂 put it in a bottle, or tub with a screw on lid, and shake it, mixes it all in one hit
GENIUS!!!!! I feel really stupid now. I know there are apparently some metal residue in there, I only dose once a month, ish.
@theeastcoastreefer 👍🏻 something like a cheap protein shake bottle would be ideal, basically making a mud shake for your tank 😂
According to Aquaforest that is igneous basalt which can be magnetic. They did a livestream about it.

Been using life source myself, definitely haven’t mastered getting it out of the bag without covering myself in it 😂. I’ve been thinking about sitting it in trays in the sump as some people do that with miracle mud.
yeah I thought about it too, I like having something to complain about though so I just stick my hands in the bag and moan wen I get covered in mud.

Just caught the end of the Livestream. Really enjoyed it and shout out to DBME - Jay and Stevie seem like genuine and great guys. Great fun and massive thumbs up guys , 👍
It was great fun :-)
I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds VO's and Apex programming an absolute bugger!
I'd rather it was C based, but its probably just a case of learning it (I still havent got round to it yet though)

Nice one, cheers for the vid.

Clever idea with those frag stalks, such a pain cutting them off 🚀🚀🚀
Tell me about it
great having Stef on. brings some real life and vibrance to our hobby!
Yeah the more people out there promoting the hobby the better it is for all of us.
Yes I’m the guy from Whitecorals and Nyos and yes Paul and his Wife told us off 😅 we we’re discussing some things that were being talked about on stage.

I’ve got two in my 900pro great bit of kit
They really surprised me!
Could I ask for a link or the names of the sellers in the description. Sometimes it’s hard to to make out and I’ve been looking to support more small sellers.
I mention the names of the vendors as the footage is playing of each tank
Why’s curt lurking in the darkness 🤣🤣

@ DEFRA more like 🤣🤣👍
@@Successfulreefaquariums121🤣🤣
Have u ordered your DD 1500 yet 😮
Not yet, I haven’t managed to find a stockist where I can actually see one yet.
@@theeastcoastreefer I would definitely not buy brand new I got the 900pro 4 months old with a fluval light bar and an almost new Nyos skimmer for 300 quid. There are some 1500 on market place but I guess depends were you are
@@New_Zealand_rugby WOW! thats a bargian!
Handy video.Thanks 👍🏼
Glad it was helpful!
I wish you explain what it is for people that do not know. I watched half the video wondering what it is. Nice looking bong BTW :)
there is not many times I type LOL because I actually Laughed out loud! You're right that is a big Bong!

Hi @ECR, Reference new tank...how about a Maidenhead Aquatics Aqua Marin Pro 1500? Cheers, Rich.
I need to take some time and visit a few shops that have these tanks running so I can take a look.
My cheaper option is i throw a bag of Rowa in my filter sock and that work great for my 275 ltr tank
I did have it in a bag in my sump for a while but it wasn't getting much flow. the reef sock idea is a good one! I like it!

Like an alcoholic sat outside a pub waiting for it to open 😅 reefing is definitely an addiction. The place looks good. Might have to pop in there when im in the area next
its not the first time I've sat outside waiting for the LFS to open :-) I was outside AAC last weekend waiting for it to open lol
Looks good 😊
all the Coral bays looked great :-) was tempted with a fish but maybe not yet
Nice place that is, all tanks clean & nice selection of fish & products can't ask for anymore 👌🏼
It is dangerous as its only 1 2 minute walk from my office :-D
@@theeastcoastreefer oh dear that's very dangerous indeed! 🤣 Strong will power needed at all times 👀

Great little LFS, had I been closer I would have come along. I would have done a few shops whilst down. Always has a great selection of fish and coral!! I must say some awesome buys again you made !! Next a new tank
yeah new house first, then new tank, probably in the new year
😊 thank you for that , been keen to re see this, fascinating stuff🚀🚀🚀
yeah I was holding fire for someone to upload one with better audio, but nothing came up, I've cleaned it up a bit so hopefully its ok

How are you going to mount that Storm trooper helmet in your tank?
I might print a small one to grow Cyphastrea on! that would be awesome!
So what’s the cons for having a refugium?
Refugiums strip out more Nitrate than Phosphate, so you can get to a point where the nitrates is almost zero and there is still plenty of phosphate, but you cant dose something like NOPOX without wiping out you nitrate. In addition the Fuge is a breeding place for aiptasia.
A big bonus for me was not having a light in my sump causing algae everywhere
@@ryanwashington3330 I had the Tunze fuge light and was able to angle it so that is wasnt causing too much spillage but you have a great point!
How did you hoover the sump out. I saw a flexi pipe but nothing else
it was that, I submerged the whole pipe, sealed one end and took it out of the sump and into a bucket then unsealed it creating a siphon and used that to clear the sump.
