No Skimmer, No Sump, No Water Change Reef Tank
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- This is a short montage of my reef tank, which as the title says does not have a skimmer, sump, or has water changes done on it. The only filtration on this is an aquaclear 70 with some prefilter and the live rock within the tank. The reason this tank has been successful like this is because of the low bio load and the healthy LPS/soft corals in the tank.
Nice corals and nice color too
Thanks!
Most welcome

I have aquarium too..
Beautiful! Your GSP looks amazing! How old was your tank when you stopped doing water changes?
Thank you! Great question! Once my tank was around a year old I stopped doing water changes since I figured that the fast growth of the gsp might help keep the water clean. And after some water testing it looks like all my parameters are great, phosphates below .02 and nitrates below 1, I was actually very surprised at how good the water quality was.
Ricky Vargas Nice 👍 looks like everything is super healthy and happy! I hope once my tank gets a bit older I can try this :)
Beautiful. How often do you feed you fish? Do feed your corals.
I feed them every other day a few pellets, and sometimes some frozen mysis or brine shrimp. The tank also has a little population of mysis so I assume they must also eat some of them. I usually don't feed the corals, unless I'm feeding frozen foods in which I'll target feed the corals and let the fish eat whatever floats away from the corals.
Beautiful. How big is the tank?
Thanks! It's a 38 gallon bowfront.
Stunning tank, what size is it? What filtration are you running
Thank you, it is a 38 gallon bowfront, the filtration is just an aquaclear 70 HOB, with some filter floss, carbon and chemipure blue.
Hi! After two years is your aquarium still working?
Hello! I have taken this aquarium down since and upgraded to a 225G. But this tank was working well before I took it down.
Well done👍
What filtration do you have and do you think sps would survive with no water changes
Sorry for the late response, I have an HOB with just filter floss, I think it could work if you design the tank right, for example having very small amount of fish (low bioload) and combining the sps with some fast growing soft corals like GSP or xenia, and obviously continue dosing to compensate for the lack of water changes.
what light are you using for your reef tank?
It's a galaxyhydro full spectrum reef LED, the same as all the other chinese black box lights.
what about alk, calcium and magnesium how do you replace thosep
I occasionally dose supplements but not very often since my corals aren't very demanding.
What filter and ilumination you using? Tks
The filter is a aquaclear 70 with filter floss and purigen, the light is a galaxy hydro full spectrum reef LED.
@@rvscape thanks for the reply !!, I am from Brazil, this light does not have here, the filter I could find, I will try to buy ... sorry for the errors in writing!
@@marciodias3669 No problem, the light is also called different names because it is just a chinese light, you might find It under other names such as Marsaqua, vipaspectra or something else, I bought it on amazon.
I using ilumination DY and filter atman hang on, i have cube nano reef 40x40x40
What do you use to edit? Thanks
I use InShot and sometimes just use the video editor that came with the phone, I record on a galaxy s10+ Still learning how to edit lol
Live rock or dead rock ?
Mostly live rock, but I used texas holy rock for some pieces as it looks similar and is cheaper.
