great video i am getting one of these next week already got my rock cycling in a big tub and i have 40 lbs of CaribSea Arag-Alive Fiji Pink Live Sand ... cant wait to get it set up
Great video! I got the same tank, started few months ago, trying to grow the gsplike you have, but it growing super slow! On top, I have cyanobacteria growing all over my sand, did water changes but scker won't leave my tank!
Great video! Nice to know there is growth with just the stock lights, I have the Marine 3.0 for the saltwater version and planning to add a second one. Does the GSP grow downwards as well? I glued mine somewhere on the center part of the back.
So should the gsp be started along the substrate line on the back wall in order to get full coverage of the wall? I was thinking of putting mine in the center as well under the assumption they would grow up and down.
I’m sorry but this was a few tanks ago. If my memory serves me, the pump comes with a couple of different sized adapters, I just downsized until I was able to fit on the stock nozzle.
Hey Cathy, when you have algae issues, it is almost always based on an abundance of nutrients in the tank. So you should do some research on Nutrient Removal for a reef tank.
@@un69perron you won’t burn your corals, these lights aren’t really that strong, so just start off the second light with a shorter photo period and slowly acclimate the corals to the additional light. Won’t have any issues!
@@un69perron I do recommend check out all of my videos, as many of the questions you are asking are answered in detail. I believe a skimmer is always a good idea, for nitrate removal as well as aiding in bringing oxygen back into the water.
@@un69perron I think it’s all about your filtration and the type of fish. Do the research if the fish can cohabitate and ensure your filtration can handle the bio load.
Awesome corals and breakdown of the tank man! Love that elegance.
Thanks dude, appreciate the kind words!

I’m glad it was helpful for you !

Try chemi clean for cyano but careful of instructions. Just takes time for the GSP! You will get there!
@@AquaristExhibit Thanks! I will :)

It grows very little downward.. but it still will a bit.

Just purchased the same pump you upgraded too. wondering what fittings you got to make the factory nozzle work?
I’m sorry but this was a few tanks ago. If my memory serves me, the pump comes with a couple of different sized adapters, I just downsized until I was able to fit on the stock nozzle.
What do you feed?
I typically feed PE mysis and PE calanus
Hey man love the tank !!
A few weeks into mine .
Do you dose anything or just rely on water changes ?
Hey thanks! I appreciate it! I dose alkalinity, and do 5G wc’s every week or so. 👍
How often do you clean it
Roughly once every 2 weeks
What setting do you have your lights on
Please see the light settings video on my channel
About how much would a tank like this cost?
Hey thanks for the question! This tank was built on a budget for around $700 CAD not including coral and fish. It’s a freshwater setup.
What setting you keep your light on I just bought same tank
Thanks for watching! Please see my light settings video for more info.
Have you installed fluval PS1 skimmer on this ?
I chose to go with the eshopps nano skimmer and I loved it! I made a video about it and the install. Check it out!
I cant keep the hair algae away. As soon as I kill it it and my corals start growing it comes back
Hey Cathy, when you have algae issues, it is almost always based on an abundance of nutrients in the tank. So you should do some research on Nutrient Removal for a reef tank.
What settings are you using whit your light ( if is the stock light)
Please check out the video I made about the Fluval lighting. Should help you out.
@@AquaristExhibit i see it but if I want another 3.0 marine I’ll not burn my corals or is better with aquasky
@@un69perron you won’t burn your corals, these lights aren’t really that strong, so just start off the second light with a shorter photo period and slowly acclimate the corals to the additional light. Won’t have any issues!
@@AquaristExhibit oh ok I’ll try that and one more thing.. did you recommend use a skimmer whit that tank? I have same tank fluval flex
@@un69perron I do recommend check out all of my videos, as many of the questions you are asking are answered in detail. I believe a skimmer is always a good idea, for nitrate removal as well as aiding in bringing oxygen back into the water.
How many fish you put in that tank
I just 4, had a pair of clowns, a yellow watchman goby, and a coral beauty for the most part.
@@AquaristExhibit I have the same tank but I would like put some more than 4 small fishes but I’m not sure if is enough space
@@un69perron I think it’s all about your filtration and the type of fish. Do the research if the fish can cohabitate and ensure your filtration can handle the bio load.
How you will stop growing your gsp
It just takes trimming around the vents and return nozzle. Doesn’t take long.
