  • One day, I was browsing my facebook and went to one of my groups and saw this post by Reinaldo of Pirates Reef Corals posting some amazing acroporas. Funny part was that I have the EXACT same corals while it looked great on my tank, he was pulling some unbelievable colors on the same sp of coral. Feeling intrigued, I drove over to visit Reinaldo to learn about his methods and his ways of keeping acros in tip top shape!
    Check it out here.

  • @Reefahholic

    Epic video! Love hearing from SPS guru’s. Totally agree with the PO4 at zero comment. If you keep PO4 at zero too long...RTN RTN RTN! Nitrates I keep 3-5 ppm, but I might explore the 10+ ppm side, and see if it makes a difference. I think that older reefs would tolerate this better. New reefs under 1 year really don’t do well with elevated NO3 or PO4. The risk is too high for nuisance algae blooms especially if you started with dry rock. I dose NaNO3 and if I didn’t, my tank would slowly wither away with my depleted level. Thanks for the video man...always great to get different prospectives!

    • @Reefscom
      @Reefscom  6 років тому +1

      Reefahholic 10 ppm of p04??? Typo right? ;) thanks for watching the video. Means a lot to me that people enjoy them and are learning from them.

    • @Reefahholic
      @Reefahholic 6 років тому

      reefs - Ha! Yeah that definitely would have been a typo! Even for Richard Ross! :-) Naw, if you go back and re-read, I was talking about NO3. I keep mine at 3-5 but now I might explore going up to 10 or possibly higher to see if my SPS like it. I’d never go over 20, but 10 might be the sweet spot.

    Amazing what he has in those frags tanks and the main one as well, going there has to be planned for at least three hours, no less than that but for sure when you leave you are taking a most precious cargo of frags.

    Great video. 2 questions. How does he lower phosphate? And how does he raise nitrate? Thanks

    • @Reefscom
      @Reefscom  6 років тому

      he doesn't have many fish so I don't think he has to worry about phosphates much. He does weekly water changes and uses GFO. For nitrates, if it's too low, he does nitrate back into the system.

      Ken, you need to find a salt that works for you and stick to it. Consistency is the name of the game and keeping everything in consistent level is extremely important in mimicing the ocean.
