Giveaway !! Love this tank , I just got the exact same tank and I really appreciate you taking all the time to make these videos. I can only imagine the effort that goes into to all your awesome videos. I’ve been pondering what to do with all the chambers in the sump. I really like your layout with the refugium and UV sterilizer. I’m saving up for that awesome power head !! Thanks again for all you do with your videos .. especially the feeding of your corals and what you feed them with ..
Want your recommendation 😎 back in the day before I got out of the hobby & had larger tanks ,, always bought Radion lights 🙄 My plan is to run the same tank as you, keep the same corals as you ,, with the addition of a chalice or two 😎😎which you don’t have 😢😢😆 also plan on two lights as you are , for the same reason as you 😎 Radions seem like over kill for this tank, what would you recommend,, if you were buying lights for your tank today ?
Morning, wow man I have to say I’ve been frustrated cause I just got my 20g NOVU tank all in one and I wasn’t finding a good video w a detailed setup and the purpose of everything and that is what you have here I just sub to your channel I would love to see more videos tho hope you get back w more videos 🙏 thank you so much I’m going to follow this
Looks like a good selection of equipment for this tank; everything together in one nano setup. Thanks for the detailed item list in the description! (giveaway)
Hello what and amazing reef, but regarding the sump (bio midea, uv, skimmer, refuge) did you star that the aquarium with all in place? Or had an evolution? Regards.
Couple of questions 😎 your mighty jet return pump, what setting you have it set at? Couldn’t see, was a Mp10 wire hanging in front of it 😢 What mode are you running the MP 10 at? Put water in my IM 25 Lagoon last night 😎 going to get some seasoned media from the LFS today ,, Last question 😎 at what point should I be looking to put the Chemi Blue packet into the system, after the tank has cycled or before ?
@@redfish7644 I have the pump up all the way. Mp 10 is up about 3/4 the way up pm the lagoon setting. I wouldn’t worry about chemi pure until you are running into nitrate issues. After cycle and after fish and coral are in the tank. You might not even need it at all. By the way, the flow will be different depending on rock structure and what corals you keep and where. So it best to play with it until it’s flowing the at you think is right. Look at your corals. If they are getting blown around turn it down. Also the placement of your power head will determine how powerful you run it
Did you ever run the tank with only one prime? I just ordered the same tank and have one left over from a previous one, but I'm wondering if I need a second one.
Yes I did for a little while. Just have to be careful with coral placement if you only have one. The higher light corals will need the space under the light. But I main did 2 for the shadowing and so I don’t burn the lends on my AI prime by running them at 100 percent.
Glad I found your channel, impressive difference from start to finish! Got to ask, have you changed any of your light schedule since your lighting schedule video? Thank you in advance!
@@RespectTheReef Ah was wondering that. does look stronger. I too have ai prime 16hd over a 20 and started with higher whites and similar blue intensity. Would be interesting to see how high you went on all your channels. Thanks again!
@@RespectTheReef I'm with you though we all know intensity lighting usually grows corals faster if it has all the other parameters just right ;-). But seriously glad you stayed in in, the longer you go its worth it. Wishing I didn't have to brake down our old system when we moved. Recently started another system up. Crazy how much stuff is needed when your starting over. While is can be a low cost hobby it can also be a very expensive one.
Yeah I wish my tank is brand new I actually just added to Picasso clowns today! Really nice I don’t think my tank is quite ready for corals just yet but hopefully soon wish I could show you to get some tips and tricks but I’ll keep you posted
@@jdavis6099 I’ll be honest I added corals day 1 and didn’t have problems. Just stick to easy corals. Clove polyps, mushrooms, leathers. Things like that
Great vid, I also have a IM lagoon, was looking for a new skimmer and a doser for this tank sl this helps. How many fish do you have? Think I saw 2 clowns, wrasse, flamehawk?
Yes at the time I had 2 clowns, wrasse, Longnose hawk fish, and tomi tang. I currently upgraded to the IM SR60. I need to make an update video. I still run the same skimmer. It works great, the dosing pump is amazing. Never had any problems. I also started dosing kalk to help with PH. I just added another dosing pump and jug under the tank. The tank looks the same just a bit wider now
Yeah it constantly goes up as my corals grow. It’s something that won’t be the same for everyone. Best way to do it if you want to start dosing is to take an alkalinity test and see what your alkalinity is at. Then try a small dose for a week and see if it remains the same level. If it’s the same level then that’s how much your tank needs. If your alk drops then you need to try and dose a little more. If your alk raises dose a little less. In a few weeks you’ll figure out your exact amount you need to dose.
where did you get the whole back refugium thing? the black screen that goes across the back of the tank. I have a 55gal long tank and am looking for one
Its an all in one. All in one tanks have a built in sump which removes the purpose of having a sump down below with plumbing. has its pros and cons. Ive seen on ebay they make custom built in sumps where you just seal it in yourself for a reasonable price. Well worth it in my opinion
I’ve been having a problem keeping my calcium stable it’s at 320 at the moment… but if I does and it goes up to 480 it will does back in a week to 320 .. how often should I does to keep it up?
Hey there 👋 is there a way for me to reach out to you? I’m setting up my tank exactly like yours just wanted to know if I can get more in detail of how you run it if posible so mine can be as successful as your 🙏 if it’s not a bother
@@RespectTheReef how long before I can add my first corals I’ve had mine setup for 3 weeks now only rocks and a pair of clown fish how much more before adding corals ?
@@RespectTheReef also I bought AI blade coral grow one and everything else but the testers kits I have bought from your video I’m waiting on the cheto or sheto sorry if I said it wrong lol but I have purchase the pump the nozzle moving one plus I got the uv light and the skimmer and the wave maker etc I’m just really scared of the dose thing for the corals that’s where I’m kinda scared cus I don’t know about that
@@blazer_cutz I added coral my first day. One of them was my Duncan coral and it’s doing great to this day. Just make sure they are hardy corals. Don’t add a bunch maybe just a couple and see. Zoas are considered easy corals but they tend to melt away in brand new tanks. I have some I put in day one to this day but a couple ended up melting away.
@@blazer_cutz I wouldn’t worry about dosing until your corals start depleting your water minerals faster than your water changes. Just do water changes to keep your tank stable. You won’t need to dose for awhile
I’m sorry. I’ve been busy with life. The giveaway is still going to happen. I’ve been working a lot of overtime and we’ve had some crazy winter storms. Furnace went out, trucks been acting up. I’ll make a video soon. Announce the winner and hopefully get back to some more videos.
Giveaway (ZOAS) I also have a 25 lagoon. It's been plagued with dinos for a long time and hoping to get it back to looking good again some day 😢 love the tank man.
I would definitely like to see how you made the stand. I am considering doing the same for a new tank
Dope setup bro you have that AIO packed with goodies with a purpose 🔥💯🫡
Thanks 💯

Very good Video!!!
Thank you very much!
Your tank is amazing. You make me reconsider my scape.
Thank you. It definitely can be done
love this tank so much
@@ItsOnlyAdithanks for the support
Want your recommendation 😎 back in the day before I got out of the hobby & had larger tanks ,, always bought Radion lights 🙄

Radions seem like over kill for this tank, what would you recommend,, if you were buying lights for your tank today ?
@@redfish7644 I have a chalice now lol
I’d get these. AI primes. I think 2 AI primes are perfect.

@@blazer_cutz yeah I’ll make some more soon
When you first got your tongue up and running how long until you start dosing and what kind of salt do you use to do water changes
Looks like a good selection of equipment for this tank; everything together in one nano setup. Thanks for the detailed item list in the description! (giveaway)
Thank you 🙏
Are you bringing the channel back. you videos were great. Very informative!
Yeah I need to make some updates. I upgraded
Excellent news!! @@RespectTheReef i look forward to your new content
❤❤❤ thanks so much i dont want a sump so very helpful
No problem!!
Hello what and amazing reef, but regarding the sump (bio midea, uv, skimmer, refuge) did you star that the aquarium with all in place? Or had an evolution? Regards.
The fuge, UV, and skimmer came later.
Couple of questions 😎 your mighty jet return pump, what setting you have it set at? Couldn’t see, was a Mp10 wire hanging in front of it 😢

Do you have a pic of your rock scape before corals?
I’m sure I do somewhere but I’m not sure how I’d share that with you on UA-cam
Just left a message on an old video then check your account out . This tank looks amazing beautiful corals .
Thank you. I’ll make an update soon
GIVEAWAY!!!
Your aquarium is just awesome! I got a 50 gallon to upgrade my 15 AIO of 7 years. Will be working on it soon.
Make some videos!
Yo! Looking great! Particularly like mounting the mp10 controller on the black part of the AIO. Looks like it's suppose to be there haha
Yeah I agree but I need the flow going across the tank. That would be ideal. Maybe if I could get a wave maker that can turn
@@RespectTheReef try a gyre running vertically. It will do a washing machine motion. AI just came out of theirs called axis.
How did you get one pump to feed both exits?
The piping has a split connection
Did you ever run the tank with only one prime? I just ordered the same tank and have one left over from a previous one, but I'm wondering if I need a second one.
Yes I did for a little while. Just have to be careful with coral placement if you only have one. The higher light corals will need the space under the light. But I main did 2 for the shadowing and so I don’t burn the lends on my AI prime by running them at 100 percent.
Beautiful tank, love the setup! Where do you keep your heater in your tank?
In the back chamber
Glad I found your channel, impressive difference from start to finish! Got to ask, have you changed any of your light schedule since your lighting schedule video? Thank you in advance!
@@MODIT I can do an update video soon. Just increased it so I can grow sps also. Very slowly overtime
@@RespectTheReef Ah was wondering that. does look stronger. I too have ai prime 16hd over a 20 and started with higher whites and similar blue intensity. Would be interesting to see how high you went on all your channels. Thanks again!
@@MODIT I honestly think most corals will adapt to whatever light you give them. I have sps on the sand bed growing well.

I’ve been having a problem keeping my calcium stable it’s at 320 at the moment… but if I does and it goes up to 480 it will does back in a week to 320 .. how often should I does to keep it up?
Dose a little everyday to keep it at a constant level
Which light schedule did you use??
