  • Welcome to The Reef Life with Dutch Reefer! This time around it's time for something completely different. I chose to break down my old two tanks and start a new adventure with a brand new Red Sea REEFER 425 XL G2. In these video's I will be showing you my progress, deep dives into interesting reef related subjects and more.
    If you have any questions after watching the video, feel free to ask in the comment section below! If you have a suggestion for a future episode also feel free to contribute.

    Good to see the little Regal Angelfish is now being ignored by your Copper band. Have a great week.

    Thank you for the latest update. The aquarium is looking immaculate, and I am relieved to see that the Copperband is behaving and harmony has been restored! Can I ask, how do you siphon detritus out of the sump?Because of their lower position, I always found it impossible to use conventional siphon tubes.

      Try an electric vacuum siphon for aquarium

    I really like the frame around your Radions. It looks very clean!

      Thanks! It's a Red Sea Pendant which is created for the ReefLEDs, but fits the Radions perfectly!

    lovely tank Im still deciding to make the leap so a reef tank after keeping freshwater. Perhaps I'll start with a decent size cube

    Great tank I love it! Have you ever tried Cheato to bring down the nitrates? It worked wonders for me. Cheers

    • @DutchReefer
      @DutchReefer  Рік тому

      I did actually! But somehow it always ends up dying, no matter what I try... I also tried caulerpa for quite a long period, worked very well until it went sexual :P

      Yeah to be honest, I have to agree with you. Maybe a couple more critters, but fish-wise it's quite okay now

      I wish I did! Unfortunately they perished in my previous tank, and I didn't get any new ones (yet)

    Hi I’m setting up a reefer 350 and wanted to know the brand or your UV light ? Would you recommend one ?

    • @DutchReefer
      @DutchReefer  Рік тому +1

      Hi! Right now I'm using the Aqua Medic Helix 36w, I have used a different one in the past but this one seems to do the job very well without leaking. So I would recommend it yeah!
