It really looks great, it is also very relaxing to see the corals and fish in the new tank, I hope everything goes well and see new members in that nice tank
hi bud! ive been watching you for quite a while now man and ive loved every single video you have released! you are the reason i got a saltwater tank and its going amazing! ive loved every minute of watching you! i really hope this tank works oout amazing for you!
I see you as a mentor. You even made me want to switch my plans to go from a planned reef 100.3 to a frag 104. But space is my concern so I’m sticking with my original plan. But great stuff. Keep it up!
I’ll be interested to see how combining all 3 works out from a cycling/ugly phase perspective. Have you been watching the new BRS series? I’ll be curious to see how much bad and good is brought in from your old tanks. I’m also super jealous of your bigger tank! I’m craving an upgrade myself!
Always nervous times when doing a transfer but the tank looks great. Just keep testing and dosing until you’re happy everything is stable. You need a torch and hammer coral garden. My favourite LPS by a mile.
so happy to see your back, that clonfish family melted my heart. but wow the new tank looks lovely good to know all the fish can touch fins after they have been looking at eachother through diferent tanks lol. Lots of respect for you and your channel 🤍🤍🤍
Love your videos man! Great job and a great tank upgrade as well. Looking at this exact tank to upgrade as well…Can’t wait for more video’s. How about some nice SPS ain’t the new tank?
Thank you Kenneth! This tank is awesome. Not too big, not too small. If I can go one size up I would go one size up. Just so I can keep some bigger tang :D But for now I will stick to what I have. I will definitely add some SPS once this tank stabilised :D
Wow it turned out BEAUTIFUL! 😍I am learning a lot with your videos for my future upgrade to a new tank. Maybe you could add a hairy mushroom. They are beautiful when their long polyps sway with the current.
Cool update. Are you planning to seek more integration between the rocks that you gathered from your previous tanks. Also, what are you going to do with these tanks? Planning to breed some fish or..? :) As I said earlier, curious to your next steps. Looking forward for more. Regards, Richard.
My favourite UA-cam aquarium channel (I keep only freshwater planted tanks, but your videos almost dragged me to the saltwater world haha). Love the calm, minimalist vibe, definitely the style I want to be inspired by if I ever start my own channel. Btw, what tools and gadgets do you use to record the videos (apart from your partner haha). Thanks and best of luck with the new tank!!
Ngl I don’t Comment a lot but the variety In fish and corals is amazing the fish looked great and realy did add a new look each time I seen one. The corals were amazing too what was the anenome like coral that was black I’d love one but have never seen them if anyone might know thank you
Very nice. It will be much easier to manage 1 tank rather than 3. I think some nice goniopora would look nice and match the level of lighting of the tank.
Great to see it all coming together. We’re you always wanting to combine like this? I don’t know you but it seems like you’d have enjoyed scraping this one individually.
I like to see your Scolymia coral, we called it in Indonesia as Donut Coral and also a "Sultan" coral since its expensive, I like it because its round shaoe and beautiful color
That was beautiful. I can’t believe you had all of those things in that little tank. I loved your video, the music although I would have loved it if you would have narrated it. I really don’t enjoy reading the text. Other than that it was excellent
Hey, I had a question. I will be setting up a 600 litre (160 US gallons) tank it will be 60x26x25 inch (LxWxH). So, instead of using bottled bacteria to cycle my tank, if I buy buy two bags of Maxpect bio balls and put them in my cousin’s reef tank’s sump and leave it there for a month of two and then put it in my tank after setting it up, will that cycle my tank? As the bio media would be seeded with bacteria by then. Also the copepods and all that might come in the bio media, will they survive the cycle? The bacteria will eventually find its way up to the display tank right? Also do you think the pests like aptasia, bristle worms and other pests he has will cause a big problem? As far as I know he had an ich or velvet outbreak about 1.5 years ago as well which has been solved and all the fish are healthy now, so will that be a problem as well? Because we all get pests in the end anyways and in will be a sterile tank so they shouldn’t survive right? I will feed phytoplankton for the pods. Is there any way I can get all the bacteria and pods but not the pests into my tank? Please let me know. Thank you in advance!
I rehomed them unfortunately :( The helfrichi was bullied by the RG and I know it won't get along with my other firefish when I combine them all into one tank. The Janss pipefish didn't get along with my blue stripe pipefish and I had to rehome him as well
@@durantan2343 At first I feed him lots of copepods and baby brine shrimp. Once I get him eating, I started introducing some frozen foods (lobster eggs and brine shrimp). It will take time but once he had a taste of the frozen food, it will be so easy to care for. Just keep trying. At first, It's important to keep the food suspended in the water and just "floating" and that he doesn't need to "chase" the food.
My favourite is the reunion of the clownfish❤️. Did you ever thought about getting them an anemone? There is enough space to have it on a separate rock I believe. Mine don‘t set foot/fin outside their nem
Wonderful video, & great content as always! As I am new reefer, your Kessils grow your coral and not a lot big names use them. I like going against the grain. How do they compare against other lights?
All the tanks combined into one is awesome😍 P/S the waterbox setup was my favourite😅 i want to ask something about the hammer coral, have you ever placed it near a zoa and got stinged?
Awesome video! I currently have a 40 gallon bowfront tank that’s 7 months old. I’ve been battling Cyano for over a month and it’s on the sand and rocks. I’ve been doing 25% water changes weekly, and stir up the same weekly and it just seems to be growing. My nitrates are below 10ppm, salinity is 1.023, PH is 7.9, and zero Ammonia. Now I have 2 powerheads in the tank one at each side pointing at each other. There about 10” down, and 8” from the front of the tank. There 528gph for water movement. The fish store today told me to reposition my power-heads to create better water flow. But I’m not sure where to put them. I noticed you had one down near the bottom towards the back of the tank. Putting the powerhead that low won’t cause the sand to fly around? Could you suggest where to place my powerheads on each side of the tank please?
bring salinity up to 1.026 thts quite low & try keep it as stable as possible. I doubt your problem is the powerheads do a really clean 50% (its not gonna hurt) & try to get as much out as possible. & watch your phosphates as if too low or high unfavourables can grow easier. My uglies started about 11 month after the tank was setup. I think i did really well to get that far without any major blooms but that took about 8 weeks to completely go if i remember correctly so stay consistent and focus on stability & eventually you should be fine.
I like 1.026 because natural sea is usually 1.027 & the average accepted reefing value is 1.025 so even with small swings either way it can stay close to accurate
@@joshwhiteoak9338 thank you very much for your input Josh, it means a lot. I don’t think I’ve tested for phosphates as it’s not in my saltwater test kit. My kit has PH, Nitrite, Nitrate, Ammonia in my saltwater testing kit

I reckon as long as the fish is healthy, the sting won't hurt them too much. Most of the time it's the sick fish that got stung and eaten by the tube anemone. I have had the tube anemone for a long time and the fish know to stay away from that long tentacles haha

😁Thanks Jacob! Glad to hear that
You are back!!! So happy. I have learned so much from your videos!!!
Thanks Jorge! I am glad to hear that!
Awesome!!! 😍 from now this is my dream aquarium setup.
This was a really dope video! Nice tank man!
Did you dose copepods in the new tank for the mandarins?
Another Amazing video!!
Thanks Ashton!
It really looks great, it is also very relaxing to see the corals and fish in the new tank, I hope everything goes well and see new members in that nice tank
Are you not worried about the pod population for the mandarins? Will the rock from the old tank essentially just seed the new one?
Love the little Nemo
Another perfect video. Looks like you have been very busy. That new set up is stunning already. Great job with the baby clown.
Thanks Setts! Yes. Life gets in the way sometimes haha

Yeah! There's definitely a lot of room for the fishes. Which means I can get more fish and corals yay!

This is definitely not the plan and I might change the scape in the future. Just have to do it slowly :D

Thanks Nancy!
Why dont you pour all the sand at once in the start
How are your Mandarin dragonet doing? 👀 I have been searching for people who are holding Blue & Spotted Dragonets.
Looks absolutely gorgeous! You should be proud :). By the way, id be careful with that tube anemone, I’ve heard many horror stories
Thanks Oliver! Hence why I am using a cup to pick it up haha
I like to see your Scolymia coral, we called it in Indonesia as Donut Coral and also a "Sultan" coral since its expensive, I like it because its round shaoe and beautiful color
Agree. Scoly is one of my favourite coral. They have a really bright color and not too hard to care for compared to the SPS coral
I have a question for the OP, Do you think you will have trouble with SPS considering the new tank doesn’t have bacteria growing on it
Nice video. Did you cycle the new tank before moving? I am planing the same but told to cycle the new tank for at least 1 month. Thx
