Hey Aqua may i ask what gravel or sand you use the tank looks so nice. I only have freshwater but wondering what the setup cost and what aquarium you using .
I do not understand. How such 20 minutes of a very good content (filming, information e overall editing) can only have 500 likes during a whole year?... not cool... Your deserve more ... btw, keep doing this amazing job... Cheers from Brazil.
Showing the whole process is extremely helpful, good or bad. I can't tell you how many times I have looked a forum posts and other videos and all you see is a beautiful before and after tank. Showing the hobby what it takes to have a great looking tank is important so it can help newer hobbyist and give them a realistic expectation. Continue to make your videos, they don't go unnoticed.
I just wanted to express how much I enjoy you series. How much we all enjoy you series. The good, the beautiful and the ugly. I had been ("had been" is a very lose term as I still keep up to date with every bit of info I can find) in the hobby for 10 years. 4 years ago I had a major tank crash which saw me having to sell all my fish, coral and live rock. I had to shut down my tank to save lives. I have been scared to start an new tank ever since. But during the pandemic I found your videos... The honesty and openess you have shown has given me the courage to start again. I am slowly buying everything I need, bit by bit again to start a new tank. I will maybe post the posses on UA-cam. I have never been able to get the beauty of a reef out of my mind and you have put it back in my heart. Thank you for everything you do. Can't wait for you next video. All the support in the world from South Africa.
Everything about your videos is top notch... the videography, information, humor, etc... you are definitely one of the best, if not the best and most entertaining on here. Thanks for all you do!!!
I just binge watched your series, and I loved it. I would like to see an update, even if the reef isn't doing so well. You sound like you're self conscious about your accent, but as a native English speaker, it's totally understandable. It's nothing to be worried about, really. Hope you're doing well.
Yeah, I can't do much with my accent, it is what it is hehe. (or talking too fast...) The tank is still running, I'm just not ready yet to publish videos, I made a promise, and... I need to fulfill it and then I will start to publish.
I’m new to salt water and don’t have a reef aquarium yet, but i find these type of videos very informative for when I finally start my own tank! Thank you:)
I love all your videos! Not just educational and honest but great personality, humour and cinematography. Thanks for being you, sticking to your beliefs and sticking the course 👊
these videos always humble the hobby for me, i used to think i was just bad at reefing but my tank is doing awesome and i’m just learning that, that’s just how the hobby is always a balance of life and death.
I really enjoy your sharing this. It makes me feel better about some corals that are not doing well in my tank. It always seems that someone is not happy.
One of the most interesting things about aquariums is the stories that follow them. When an aquarium looks like many others, it has equipment similar to others and there is not much different to say... it's like a bad movie with a lots of expensive special effects.
Great series!! I enjoyed it very much. I’ve also started my own reef tank and now I’m facing the cloudy water every morning. Some people on the internet said that it’s probably the bacterial bloom. I wonder, is this thing ever happened in your tank? How do you manage to keep your water always as clear as crystal every time?
Honestly, I just don't how people do not keep their tank clear. I just do maintenance, I try to avoid product when possible because it disturb the ecosystem. It takes time to establish something mature, it takes second to destroy. If you have a bacterial bloom (milky water) the use of UV is great for this purpose.
I enjoy watching all the good and the bad. Those that dont, are in denial and will be unprepared for when it inevitably does happen to them. Thanks for the info
Nicolas always teaching me something new, Fluconazole very interesting. I've never ran RODI, just rainwater and high quality sps salt. I kind of rushed into the hobby and used Texas Holey rock in my reef which my LFS guy said could hold silicates giving me algae issues. Though it's not been too bad, I do clean up small amounts of Bryopsis, bubble algae and soft hair algae pretty much routinely for weekly maintenance, sometimes I don't have to. I do it rather thoroughly just to experiment and see the best way to eliminate algae and practically learn how they grow. I clean so well I don't see any in my tank but I know it's there, maybe a stray scrap in a crevasse. It is nice to have the knowledge that I could just go to my fish store and ask if they have any Fluconazole based algal treatment products. Or if someone asked me how could they treat algal blooms in their reef, I could refer them to a Fluconazole based product.
@@AquaSplendor I will remember hehe, I'm about 8 months into my reef, if it makes it more interesting I'm keeping 2 paired clowns, a firefish, some frags of GSP, a green/purple Cyarina "probably fastest growing" a Blue digitata, a chalice coral, some black galaxy collector zoas, blastomussa, leptosaris, favia and that's everthing :) But yeah all I think about is buying RODI, I was going to get the one you use but I like our Australian ReefRO brand, it's just $550 for a boosted 50GPD one so I needs to save hehe.
Hi, its me again... I hope you are doing fine and your aquariums are still doing well. The last week, when i went on vakation, i had the rime to watch all your videos about the nano reef complete again. I really love the way you do your videos and the way you take care about all life. It was you, let me start a nano myself in 05/21. Its a bit smaller than yours, a 10l cube. But 'til now, i always wanted to start a Aquarium, the size of yours. Maybe next year. If there was a problem during growing my pico tank, i always search for help inside your videos. The massage "never give up" was my Mantra. Thank you for everything!!! I wait every week to hopely see a new video from you, hoping you are ok and healthy. Pls forgive my bad English, i am coming from germany.... For me, you are the "Master" of creating nano eco System! Best regards from Stefanie
Thank you Stef for the kind word, whenever there's a problem, water change, :). I'm trying to get back, working on some stuff but i'm slow. But Don't expect the same kind of video anymore, it was taking so much of my time, I have to make some sacrifices but stick with that nature philosophy, making everything as simple as you can.
Great video I always learn lots from your videos and find your reviews great as your always honest with the reviews. I’m sure you have looked at most of these but I just thought I would comment with my experience of getting rid of hydroids in my current tank. In the end I used fenbendazole but as you say it would harm corals in your tank so probably not a good idea. When I was researching how to get rid of them their where a few things I found that could help and they where bumble bee snails, Halloween hermit crabs and a lynx nudibranch. They where mostly people saying they worked though and the only really one that had evidence of working was the lynx nudibranch which are very hard to find. If you manage to get a lynx nudibranch I read that in order to increase the chances of it eating the hydroids you have to feed the hydroids phytoplankton. Their is another nudibranch that eats them too but I can’t remember the name. The fenbendazole did work in my tank and I havnt seen another hydroid for months now. The things I found it to effect where, snails (turbo snails and another snail I can’t remember the name of), possibly some hermit crabs that used to burry themselves in the sand and would t really go on the rock (never found a name for them but they were not the usual hermits), it killed/effected Florida Ricordea mushrooms, clove polyps and a Kenya tree in my tank but nothing else. I suspect it wouldn’t effect any lps in your tank but would effect a large amount of the corals so probably isn’t worth using. Plus I still can’t ad snails again yet and it’s been a good few months since treating the tank.
Really appreciate your feedback! ps: I haven't done any review for a very long time ;) That bumblebee snail always intrigues me for various reasons, but always scared me. It's a carnivorous snail and I'm afraid it could do some damage to something I want to keep, I have a problem of trust with them. I thought about buying one just to clean my sand from the worms, I hate those worms even if they are useful ;P
I need more videos!! Please, I'm addicted so I need it. Help me hahaha Even good or not good situation, your experience is pretty good for me. Thanks, guy!
I’m not going to ask for a refund, but I would feel better knowing how things are going with you! Any kind of update, even just text in a JPEG, here, or at Instagram, would be reassuring. Remember, these are strange times, and you have gotten to be a comforting presence for me, and, I’d guess, for some others, here on UA-cam. ❤️👍👍 I hope you are well.
Your tank and a couple other shallow reefs are inspiring me to get back into the hobby! Thinking of doing a 24x12x10 inch tank with mostly euphyillias(my fav) and a pair of clownfish.🤘🏼
J’écoutais le vidéo d’Inappropriate Reefer avec ta collaboration et quand j’ai vu ta tank et ton lit, j’ai compris que tu m’avais vendu en 2021 un frag de sarco! 😋 Il va très bien 👍 Vraiment cool de te trouver sur UA-cam! Keep it up!
For hydroids, after scraping off as much as possible isn't one of the first "go to" options smothering them with either superglue or epoxy, since both of those materials are available as reef safe and will effectively starve/suffocate the hydroid?
Yes, but my issue is, you only need one of them to be alive, so doing this in any case you are just slowing down the inevitable spread. I removed a few of them manually, mostly for the video but without a predator, they will come back.
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? 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!
It's good the seed your bio media in another reef tank, it will speed up the process a lot. Keep in mind you might have a mini cycle, so don't necessarily put a ton of fish right away. Each tank need a little bit of maturity in general but that bio media will suck up a lof of ammonia. You can put coral right away if you want, they don't need a cycle in the proper sense but stability environnment. Aiptasia will be problematic, they burn and spread fast. Buy pods from a reputable place. Generally speaking they do not have pest.
@@AquaSplendor is there anything else I should be concerned about? For coral pests, I probably won’t be adding any corals for the first 4-6 months of the tank so all of the coral pests that might have come from his tank into mine should die right? The only coral I might add is a frag of gsp. Do you think that the copepods will survive the cycle? I will probably add that bio media and then add a few mollies. Also if I do get aptasia what can I do to stop it from spreading any more? Are 2 bags of Maxpect bio balls enough for this sized tank? And um will 3 XR15 Pro G6 be enough for a mixed reef tank of 60x26x24 inch? (LxWxH)
Why do wait 4-6 month for coral? It's probably the first thing you want t add. No pest will survive, and perhaps some of them, thrive, they have all the terrain for themself. Don't add copepod if your tank is not cycle, they are likely to die if there's big ammonia spike. Don't add fish you do not intend to keep, but if you want to keep mollies ok but I do believe they are more brackish fish than sea fish. It's not if you do get aiptasia, you will get aiptasia at some point in your journey ;). Kill them at first sight. I don't know for the bio ball size, depends on a lot of factor, just check if you have ammonia, if the fish breath fast, those kind of sign will tell you. Yes for the light. Add coral first honestly, they don't have Gill like fish. for the GSP, try to avoid putting on your main rock, otherwise it will invade your aquarium.
I had some of those tiny jellyfish, they are cladonema jellyfish, from my experience they are harmless and feed on phytoplankton, you will see them more if you close all pump circulation.
Thanks for sharing this! I have been searching for this mini medusa and now I know what it is. My zoas are not opening completely and I notice these things in my nano. I have a pincushion urchin, not sure if they eat hydroids.
J'aime tes videos ! lLache pas! Ca fait 8 ans que je n'ai plus d'aquarium mais ta chaine est inspirante et m'a donner le gout de revenir dans le hobby. J'attends les clés de notre nouvelle maison pour commencer mon nouveau projet d'aquarium. Je suis tombé sur ta chaine il y a quelque mois et j'ai noté l'accent de chez nous :D alors j'ai passé au travers de tout tes vidéos. J'attends d'ailleur ton prochain impatiemment.
@@AquaSplendor You're awesome dude! I've been a decently long time subscriber and you always are the best! I've been following the series to understand saltwater aquariums and I just might make the leap soon with all the black friday sales. Thank you for the great content and quick replies!
@@AquaSplendor ok... I was waiting another answer. I don't understand why you just can't share your knowledge and experience with the people that give you views. That's all for me in this channel, unsubscribing and unfollowing. I t hink the hobby should be all about sharing. Good luck.
@@DrJeanCarlosCruz That's is because you guys have been manipulated in the past years to play with spectrum when you should not. The profile I use for this tank is a personal one for MY needs with my camera. The best thing I can do for your coral is to not share my spectrum of that tank but for you to use what the company set by default of your light. In time you guys will understand... just be patient
I can say they are Hydroids but that's it. I don't like hydroids because they can mess up living creatures in the tank. People fear spiders, me, its hydroids.
Bonsoir, mon anglais est bien moins bon que le vôtre, et ce même à l'écrit, donc je me permets d'écrire ce commentaire en français. J'aime beaucoup vos vidéos, toutes vos vidéos dans n'importe quel format. La curiosité et la passion pour ce qui vit sous l'eau transparaissent dans chacune de vos vidéos; tout cela est présenté, sublimé par un talent de montage et de capture de cette vie sous l'eau caméra à la main. Je suis bien incapable de vous écrire quel est mon format préféré. Cependant, je puis vous garantir que je réserve une partie de chacun de mes dimanches pour ce rendez-vous avec de la Splendeur Aquatique. Merci à vous, Un récifaliste.
Hi, i have same issues on my candys, something dark that eat their skeleton, you can said to me what is your dipping solution? Sry for you lose :(, i liked your fishes so much ...
Hi im from fw aquascape. i like your horizotal like theme layout..but can i know what the exactly layout name like your tank? cause in fw, i just know nature , blackwater, dutch, iwagumi...didnt know your theme style reef tank. thank if you asnwer it 😊
Depend on what you are asking, if it's tank dimension reference is a peninsula. If it's what inside it's a mixed reef tank (All kind of animals that don't necessary belong together)
Bonjour, super chaîne! Je voudrai m inspirer de votre bac pour faire le miens de la même manière en créant la decante interne. Je voudrais un bac 100x45x30. Quelle epaisseur la decante interne doit elle faire pour que le projet soit viable? 15 cm sur 45 cm? Merci 👍
Because of fish, it could be an infection or something similar to worms that eat fish from the inside. I also had something like that, but I don't recognize because of that.
@@AquaSplendor the hydroids I have in the aquarium is the same as what you have, I pass the brush and they come back, downloading phospato NITRATO solves?
Stop adding all that junk, bacteria/gfo. Your tan will balance itself out. I was like you when I was new to reefing, water changes are fine, but you don’t need much else really. I know the temptation is always there to tinker, but believe me, leaving it alone will help. Good luck!
I have a Tubastrea, acting like a princess, reclaiming constabt food. Gfo is only there because of that, I really need it, otherwise I would only use floss and water change. Bacteria is used when my nitrate start to be high. But my coral do love it also. I believe my "Tan" is fine 😝

Each tank need a little bit of maturity in general but that bio media will suck up a lof of ammonia. You can put coral right away if you want, they don't need a cycle in the proper sense but stability environnment. Aiptasia will be problematic, they burn and spread fast. Buy pods from a reputable place. Generally speaking they do not have pest.
@@AquaSplendor is there anything else I should be concerned about? For coral pests, I probably won’t be adding any corals for the first 4-6 months of the tank so all of the coral pests that might have come from his tank into mine should die right? The only coral I might add is a frag of gsp. Do you think that the copepods will survive the cycle? I will probably add that bio media and then add a few mollies. Also if I do get aptasia what can I do to stop it from spreading any more? Are 2 bags of Maxpect bio balls enough for this sized tank? And um will 3 XR15 Pro G6 be enough for a mixed reef tank of 60x26x24 inch? (LxWxH)
Why do wait 4-6 month for coral? It's probably the first thing you want t add. No pest will survive, and perhaps some of them, thrive, they have all the terrain for themself. Don't add copepod if your tank is not cycle, they are likely to die if there's big ammonia spike. Don't add fish you do not intend to keep, but if you want to keep mollies ok but I do believe they are more brackish fish than sea fish. It's not if you do get aiptasia, you will get aiptasia at some point in your journey ;). Kill them at first sight. I don't know for the bio ball size, depends on a lot of factor, just check if you have ammonia, if the fish breath fast, those kind of sign will tell you. Yes for the light.
Add coral first honestly, they don't have Gill like fish. for the GSP, try to avoid putting on your main rock, otherwise it will invade your aquarium.
I had some of those tiny jellyfish, they are cladonema jellyfish, from my experience they are harmless and feed on phytoplankton, you will see them more if you close all pump circulation.
Thanks for sharing this! I have been searching for this mini medusa and now I know what it is. My zoas are not opening completely and I notice these things in my nano. I have a pincushion urchin, not sure if they eat hydroids.
Ooh, I have no clue if urchin eat those jellyfish
9:55 For the Hydroids could you use H2o2/Hydrogen Peroxide?
I Never tried it but I would assume it can work.
J'aime tes videos ! lLache pas! Ca fait 8 ans que je n'ai plus d'aquarium mais ta chaine est inspirante et m'a donner le gout de revenir dans le hobby. J'attends les clés de notre nouvelle maison pour commencer mon nouveau projet d'aquarium. Je suis tombé sur ta chaine il y a quelque mois et j'ai noté l'accent de chez nous :D alors j'ai passé au travers de tout tes vidéos. J'attends d'ailleur ton prochain impatiemment.
nice to meet you！how about this sea tank?
Always quality footage
Meh, it's watchable, less quality, more info ;)

@@AquaSplendor You're awesome dude! I've been a decently long time subscriber and you always are the best! I've been following the series to understand saltwater aquariums and I just might make the leap soon with all the black friday sales. Thank you for the great content and quick replies!
Hope you're fine !
Nice update! I was wondering what is going on with the strawberry coral??
Episode 60 ;)
Hi
No problem without a skimmer? And what solutions do you use?
tnk u
Follow the playlist, everything you need to know is there!
Love your videos and Instagram, one question can you share your light schedule? Thanks!
I don't share those things, it's a personal schedule for my needs. basically 7-10hour of light with 1h of fade out/in.
@@AquaSplendor ok... I was waiting another answer. I don't understand why you just can't share your knowledge and experience with the people that give you views.
That's all for me in this channel, unsubscribing and unfollowing. I t hink the hobby should be all about sharing.
Good luck.
I was going to ask the same thing...😂 Nevermind... 🙄🤦🏻♂️👋🏻
@@DrJeanCarlosCruz That's is because you guys have been manipulated in the past years to play with spectrum when you should not.
The profile I use for this tank is a personal one for MY needs with my camera.
The best thing I can do for your coral is to not share my spectrum of that tank but for you to use what the company set by default of your light.
In time you guys will understand... just be patient
Hey, hope you're doing well. There hasnt been any videos or instagram posts lately so ive been wondering if everythings okay.
Bruh convinced me to start back in saltwater aquariums only to stop uploading😭
Dude come back!!! I miss your videos
I have that same thing that looks like hydroids on my candy cane, can u confirm if it is hydroids? Is it really bad? Should I throw it out?
I can say they are Hydroids but that's it. I don't like hydroids because they can mess up living creatures in the tank.
People fear spiders, me, its hydroids.
@@AquaSplendor hahaha 😂
Hope to see an upload from you soon!
Bonsoir, mon anglais est bien moins bon que le vôtre, et ce même à l'écrit, donc je me permets d'écrire ce commentaire en français.
J'aime beaucoup vos vidéos, toutes vos vidéos dans n'importe quel format. La curiosité et la passion pour ce qui vit sous l'eau transparaissent dans chacune de vos vidéos; tout cela est présenté, sublimé par un talent de montage et de capture de cette vie sous l'eau caméra à la main. Je suis bien incapable de vous écrire quel est mon format préféré. Cependant, je puis vous garantir que je réserve une partie de chacun de mes dimanches pour ce rendez-vous avec de la Splendeur Aquatique.
Merci à vous,
Un récifaliste.
Merci du compliment 🙂
How is the tank doing now?
Great minus 2 things
@@AquaSplendor you should do an update video, everyone would love it.
Will you be making new videos anytime soon? Missing them!
"Soon"
Hi, i have same issues on my candys, something dark that eat their skeleton, you can said to me what is your dipping solution? Sry for you lose :(, i liked your fishes so much ...
I use the Revive, it was a weird reaction 🤔
Hi im from fw aquascape. i like your horizotal like theme layout..but can i know what the exactly layout name like your tank? cause in fw, i just know nature , blackwater, dutch, iwagumi...didnt know your theme style reef tank.
thank if you asnwer it 😊
Depend on what you are asking, if it's tank dimension reference is a peninsula.
If it's what inside it's a mixed reef tank (All kind of animals that don't necessary belong together)
Bonjour, super chaîne! Je voudrai m inspirer de votre bac pour faire le miens de la même manière en créant la decante interne. Je voudrais un bac 100x45x30. Quelle epaisseur la decante interne doit elle faire pour que le projet soit viable? 15 cm sur 45 cm? Merci 👍
Prévois un espace suffisant pour glisser ta main, la pompe de retour, un écumeur, et pour les mousse filtrante.
@@AquaSplendor OK merci beaucoup!
Hi Nicolas how are you doing? Is your aquarium still running?
Absolutely
what dimensions of your aquarium in centimeters?
Check in the description video, all info there!
Brother, why haven't you posted any videos recently ? Hope you are fine ?
Great sir inspired from u....
Awesome :)
Might be lymphocytosis or parasites. Freshwater dip might help. Or not. Doubt if had parasite at this phase will survive. These things happen.
Could have been, after reading I feel it was worst than lymphocytosis. 🤢☠
5 months without a new vid... I miss it a lot !
Let's bet 6 month!
How's things going. Haven't seen anything in awhile.
Because of fish, it could be an infection or something similar to worms that eat fish from the inside. I also had something like that, but I don't recognize because of that.
Good point, could be!
@@AquaSplendor No Problem. I Love your Videos. 👍👍
@@AquaSplendor Shit, I also have digitate hydroids. What should i do?
No new update?
how to eliminate the hydroids ????
Natural predators, starve, chemical
@@AquaSplendor the hydroids I have in the aquarium is the same as what you have, I pass the brush and they come back, downloading phospato NITRATO solves?
@@jacksonsardot "downloading phospato NITRATO solves?" -- What?
@@AquaSplendor I want to know if low nutrient levels help decrease
@@jacksonsardot oh I see, I don't know but I would assume yes, they need to get there energy somewhere
what dosage do you use?

Alkalinity
try QT with prazipro
Will there be anymore uploads or projects coming from yourself any time soon ?
More video, yes, but time is relative.
I guarantee 1 at least this year.
@@AquaSplendor I cant wait ! It has been such a long time since your last upload 😭
@@AquaSplendor hey man this years nearing an end 🤣
any hints at what youve got coming ?
@@mike-jn1if Yes I do have a hint: Disapointment, I'm not working always actively to be honest. Only when I "feel it"
@@AquaSplendor awww ok, still looking forward to a new vid when you do feel it 👍
Post for help on the Humblefish forum for your sick fish. There are some experts on the forum.

Hey bro.. where are you?!
I keep checking but I don't see new uploads
At home
@@AquaSplendor good to hear back from you bro, hope all is well ☺️👍
Hey why we get no new Videos?
I'm wondering the same we should ask him!
Wait, hold on...
@@AquaSplendor Hhhhh.. we are waiting for another awesome video from you :)
Stop adding all that junk, bacteria/gfo. Your tan will balance itself out. I was like you when I was new to reefing, water changes are fine, but you don’t need much else really. I know the temptation is always there to tinker, but believe me, leaving it alone will help. Good luck!
I have a Tubastrea, acting like a princess, reclaiming constabt food. Gfo is only there because of that, I really need it, otherwise I would only use floss and water change.
Bacteria is used when my nitrate start to be high. But my coral do love it also.
I believe my "Tan" is fine 😝
You done uploading ?
No.
