I also own a peninsula tank and I have it setup as a room divider. The biggest downside is a lot more walls to clean. I love your tank. The setup is nicely done.
Funny as a reefer you can notice the most microscopic imperfections that others probably wouldn't notice. My issue is usually in attempting to fix them I make an even bigger problem 😱 glad you finally have some time to do an update, I'm finding as I mature more into this hobby that as time consuming multiple tanks can be, I like being able to create multiple setups, making one tank more of an LPS tank, another a mix reef. Ideally having just 1 would make things a lot easier, but this is coming from someone with multiple tank syndrome. Hopefully as time goes on I can go from 3 nanos, to possibly 2 so that my focus isn't always split.
I keep gaining more tanks then consolidating then more then consolidating.. a little big with each consolidation! Haha so true! Things will bug you that most likely wouldn’t notice. But I dispose that’s everyone with their own tank!
hehe! I needed to get nutrients back in line! going to run it on there until i get the new sump with built in filter roller.. after thats installed ill move it over to the future frag system :)
The tank is looking really good. One you get the nutrients under control and those aiptasia the only other issue you may have is coral growing out of the water.
gr8. pls mention details on cyano approach . it seems you raising nutrients with no socks , dry skim as skimmer chamber seems dirty right at half, algae scrubber. etc. pls mention po4 and no3 for understanding . thx
no3/po4 were pretty high as i didnt have a refugium or any export aside from skimmer for the first to months along with alot of fish. this is mainly because i didnt want to change the plumbing twice while having to adapt it.. a few weeks back when i realized the crazy nutrients i decided to throw a ton of export at it to get things back in check until i finish off the sump
@@ReefDudes thx. i tried vibrant, ended up with cyano matt. used chemi clean and it faded in 2 weeks. now exporting with wet skim and cheto to take out po4 and no3 in some ratio naturally. chemiclean did take out my bacteria which was developed with Randys vinegar regime. no3 now around under 10 from 2.5. po4 is going down automatically without gfo btw, so cant use algae scrbr. following you tank . regards
A lot of these fish, anemones and corals have different diets. How do you manage to feed everyone? Is there a type of a all in one mixed food for the fish? I have a 40 gallon cube with diff species of fish and anemones and eels.. it gets quite annoying individually feeding these guys .. any advice?
debating btwn peninsula vs rectangular tank im currently running rectangular tank , wanna upgrade with something different like peninsula , but i worry like seeing thru like my walls , kitchen cabinets etc , any advice ?
Isn't the Sailfin Tang kinda pushing it, for a tank this size? In general, that amount of Zebrasoma Tangs in this size tank might lead to trouble in the future. Often they get meaner with age.
all but 2 yellow tangs all came from a tank shutdown and have already been together for years and years. Tank is 6' 200g ish which is a bit bigger than the previous owners.. so far about 4 months in and they have been more or less playing nice. Big thing is feeding well. If hungry aggression in fish tends to be higher. i find they are much more docile when well fed
Gorgeous tank, thinking of buying the same Waterbox, any negatives about it? Things youd recommend from the get go? Also did you worry about floor bracing? Lastly why not go with aragonite sand to add filtering?
The end caps are fixed and one side of each end are fixed. so the 2 middle open on both sides.. on the stair side the one at peninsula end opens.. and overflow side the one by my kitchen opens.
Phosphates as of a few days ago was 0.18 .. a month ago it was much higher! Nitrate was 16-20 range (much better.. was also pretty high a month ago) :)
Good Morning.. friend what lamp is this one you use? I asked and you once told me that eta Lamps .. what lamp models? I use 3 lamps in my aquarium and I want two of them to complete the lighting.
Tank looks great Deven. My WB7225 is due to arrive next week. I'm watching closely for new videos on this system and it looks amazing in short order. Helps moving up versus starting anew. I'm moving up from a RSR350. Question for you: how do you find the flow on the far end of tank? I'm wanting to keep the clean look like you have on the end. Advice?
Your new tank should be showing up pretty quick! exciting! I have some big flow pushing from the overflow end (mp60) So could try that or possibly some vertical gyres
Looking good, love the jawfish, why arnt you using the Clarisea since you cut out the filter socks for it, also why are you changing the sump, is there something wrong with the waterbox one?
Nothing wrong with it. I’m getting an acrylic one with nice chambers next covered for all the chambers! Plumbing is metric. So I have to change it all for the Clarissa. After I decided to go for a Snazzy sump I didn’t see the point in changing it twice. Jaws fish is super cool! Love that guy
amazing tank, how'd you get the rocks to color up so quick? a year in and my rocks still aren't covered in coraline and the undersides that dont get light have almost no color
Hi reef dude im a big fan. please help me which one is a better light interms of color popping of corals but not on the bluer side. i still want it bright so i can appreciate the color of fish but at the same time i can see the colors of corals as well. i like kessil but i guess it lack punch on the coral colors, radion pro vs illumagic blaze x that im trying to decide. what do you think is a good light in terms of my preference? thanks of any advice. keep it up man.👍👍
Well i work in healthcare and there is a global pandemic going on resulting in a extreme lack of free time for me.. The Tank is fine other than some high nutrients for a while.. thus is life.. things are getting back under control. I don't sugar coat it on my channel.. im always honest and tell it how it is!
@@dannyyoder7654 haha I wish it was my full time gig! i work a day job as well just like the rest of us. :) UA-cam is like my second or third job (yes i work far too much)
Tank looks good starting to come along nice. I'm starting my 75gal soon. Would love to have 1 reefdude coral in my tank ;) but searously nice work man. Can't want to see it again in another few months when you do an update.
Amazing setup dude!!!I’m battling high nitrates but low phosphates..I’m running diy algae reactor, santa monica algae scubber,skimmer ,a bunch of bio media and 10 percent water change every month and my nitrates still around 50ppm.any suggestions for bringing nitrates down
Algae scrubber will certianly help. Filter rollers also work well to remove food and waste before it has time to break down in the water. Not having one or a refuigum for the first 2 months was my major issue.
I’m still waiting for the fish livestock video! Love the update tank looks great! Also I got all my stuff this past week for my auto water change based on the video you created
Beautiful tank, could you please share your light schedule, I noticed you are keeping sps and lps at the same level, I wonder if the PAR is the same for both?
i used kz cyanoclean but it keep them in check. don't allow them to cover life rock. only cover sand and keep them skinny. but it doesn't remove them. kz treatment is only for 2 weeks but it require other 2 products you need to purchase it and this is not good because only one product should take care of cyano, why we would buy 3 products for this issue? good luck
Ah dang! I only got the one... I have never used it and figured its worth a try! I like to experiment alot so i can better speak on different situations and options.. good old chemiclean will be the backup plan if it doesnt rid it after a month or so.
Your tank looks amazing! My torches/hammers like to spawn in my nano too, only one torch larva managed to settle and metamorphose from what I can see :) Pretty sweeeet
That’s the bad thing about this hobby...ADDICTION TO CORAL!!! I finally got over it and I have not been interested in getting coral. I also only have 3 pieces on my sandbed I used to have so many.
I also own a peninsula tank and I have it setup as a room divider. The biggest downside is a lot more walls to clean. I love your tank. The setup is nicely done.
Thank you! think of that extra cleaning as multiple tanks with less effort than having multiple tanks!
awesome set up
It would be a dream to have a Peninsula tank. Looks great Deaven

Heheh that’s the plan! I think having the filter roller on will make a huge difference. Longest I have went without one in a while! :P
Looks great. 👍

It all looks amazing. I'm sorry you got aptasia but the nudis are a great idea. Excited about the new goodies.
Im going to try breeding them! could be a fun side project

Love to hear about your experience with ozone
Maybe ill do a video or a stream about that in the next week or two! :)
ReefDudes please do, I’ve always been intrigued by running ozone. Maybe more information on how you run it or comparison to orp levels

What size gooseneck is that attached to the Prime fuge please Dev ?
12 I think? I’ll have to measure later
Much appreciated 👍
How old is that huge fungia?
No idea, as he was a half decent size when i got him so a few years for sure.

You can always put black vinyl
On the back is you don’t want it see though. Easy fix
What did you feed them? Home made stuffs? Share the recipe? :)
Feed which? :P

Looks great? Any particular reason why you’re not using chemi clean first and trying the KZ product if the chemi clean works for you?
Just curious to try it! As part of running my channel i like to experiment alot so i can better teach/speak on different methods
ReefDudes that’s good. I was just curious if you’d had any adverse side effects using chemi clean and that’s why you were trying something new. Cheers
Geordie Reefer nope. No issues in the past and it has worked well for me!
Good Morning.. friend what lamp is this one you use? I asked and you once told me that eta Lamps .. what lamp models? I use 3 lamps in my aquarium and I want two of them to complete the lighting.
I’m using ecotech radion xr15’s
awesome tank...what liquid food you are feeding?
Do rollermats starve refugiums?
They will help remove chunks of waste /food before it breaks down. so it will help reduce the amount of nutrients in the system.
Hey Deven would you help me with my tank
It’s a 150 gallon mix reef
What do you need help with?
First is the lights I have 5 hydra 26 not sure if I’m over killing with light or they not set up properly
Where can I get those barn doors? I have a Kessil H380 I could use some for.
Do you QT your fish yourself? Never seen video about your QT. Where you got your fish from?

Does that work? I have about half a bottle. I’ll Dump some in daily for the next week and see :)
Devin, your tank looks awesome. Any concerns with your fish jumping? you do have a lot of wrasse's in there. Are you planning on getting a lid?
