Red Sea ato user here, it sucks less now. they did some firmware updates and it seems to be OK for now.
Man can't wait to get old in this hobby i love Reefing Amazing reftank update
Something new ALL THE TIME! It keeps you on your toes for sure! ~Remy
Looking nice! So much further along than Raj's sump around the world build!
That's all I really strive to do. Although I do know I don't have the gear he's got so he's really just given me a head start and will surely beat me later! lol. ~Remy
Glad to be a little part of your growth. Tank looks great
Don’t like the RS ATO. Calibration is crap. When needs replacement will be with something else
The progress is impressive. Great video Remy.
I also got TBS live sand. I love it. I didn’t end up with any fish pathogens though (AquaBiomics verified). I wonder how common that is with TBS (and others).
Raj reef tank update next, yeah? His system must be pretty mature by now. Back when he had that beef with Salem on RT, he was only a couple Chihuly light fixtures away from completion! My eyes are peeled.
😂
Great update, love the mixed variety of corals you got going on! That LFS Blastomussa is a stunner, nice find. The Manilla spy is on my bucket list, definitely going in the next tank build when I upgrade.
Best of luck with the STN, hope ICP gives you the answer for the remedy.
Cheers 🍻

Thank you! Realizing how bare the tank looks as I scaped for SPS to fill in the gaps. Maybe the 2 year update will look more full, lol! Fun to document it's progress though. ~Remy
How much All for Reef are you dosing in milliliters per day for that tank?
Not much in the grand scheme of things. I keep the alkalinity at 9 and 17ml/day (for now) keeps me there. ~Remy
oh for all for reef, if you're going sps, eventually it won't keep up on alk. you'll need to suppliment alk with kalk or soda ash.
Thank you for this. I kinda figured there would be a changing of the tides. Good for smaller mixed tanks but I can see where there would be a point it just couldn't keep up. ~Remy
Super excited and hard to believe it’s been a year since the launch of this build! Bare bottom is a B**** to start up🥶
Thanks for the update 😎👍
PS: we are good here in Tampa bay… storm was cranking though!
Try and stay safe out there! Monster of a storm! ~Remy
The Redsea facebook group is filled with posts about people having issues with the Redsea ATO product. I think its been a real problem for them, I've never used it but from what I've seen on that group, I wouldn't touch it with a 10ft pole.
Whenever I had any issues it was always while I was gone on a trip, lol. Osmolator has been solid though. Figured I had it and it wasn't on a tank yet. Might just leave it?! We'll see. ~Remy
Im following al reef therapys in chronoligical order im at 79 where you are talking about leak testing the red sea. So wierd to see. But ill catch up around christmas i think haha
Sorry for this video...spoiler alert! lol ~Remy
It's a Great looking tank. Can i ask what your nitrate and phosphate levels are, please? I had quite a bad cyano outbreak 2 months ago, I tested both and they both showed 0 on my salifert tests, i have been dosing both and phosphates are now at 0.03 and nitrates at 10 and cyano is receding. I haven't changed my flow in over 3 years, so i couldn’t put it down to flow being the cause.
Last check NO3: 8.8 and PO4: .02 -Remy
German blue digi
YES. ~Remy
It's about dang time for the update. I was starting to think I would see The Corner Reef selling your stuff from another tank breakdown!!🤣😁
Lol! Funny how busy you can get with everything else and don't have time to deep dive on your own tanks. The tideline is now filled with live rock from the Solomon's too! ~Remy
@@ReefBuildersVideo that's good to hear! I think a video analysis of that live rock would be cool
What are your parameters for the heronensis? I have one that’s just not doing well :(
Major parameters are all pretty normal. NO3: 8.8, PO4: .02, Alk: 9.0dkh, Ca: 400...haven't tested MG lately. ~Remy
@@ReefBuildersVideo ok thanks. What about light/flow?
Just a word of inquiry, given you have noted some STN.
The nocturnal isopods you showed at 7:49, next to the vermetid: I do not know if they predate or consume corals; however, I had a similar species in my own tank which had notable issue establishing coral. And those isopods would congregate on frags well after dark in large numbers and agitate the coral. There was an anecdotal correlation between those isopods and the coral receding. Just something to look into if you're having issues. It's worth investigating with a flashlight at 2 am.
I personally went through great pains to reset that tank going as far as bleaching the rock, and had a multiple week effort to dip and quarantine my frags at the time. When the frags went back into a clean system, those same frags then thrived. However, that progress could also have been the other changes which go along with resetting a tank. I don't want to give the idea too much weight, it's pure anecdote. But I did want to pass it along for consideration.
Thank you! First thing I thought of reading your comment is the wild sand. I dipped one of the acros last night just to see if anything came off - negative. I'll scope it out with a flashlight tonight. ~Remy
@@ReefBuildersVideo What I observed was: They're nocturnal and benthic, staying mostly in the rock work and crevices during the day, and they don't swim.
I took a struggling frag or two and elevated them on a frag rack, checking at night to ensure none managed to crawl up to it. Those corals stopped receding, which prompted me to take action on the rest of the tank. I'm no marine biologist and they're nocturnal, so the few predatory fish I knew of were ineffective as a biotic control. So I opted for a chemical treatment at that point.
I also found my Goniopora and Platygyra were unbothered. While my Acropora and Euphyllia were extremely agitated by them. The other corals were somewhere in between.
Again, it's only a one-off anecdote. I'm not saying to take rash actions. But, it something you and Mr. Clemens may want to look at.
Thanks for sharing!❤
Finally! See you in a year...lol! ~Remy
@@ReefBuildersVideo lol….hopefully not!
