Wow I've been pretty out of the loop for fishtube, but I just want to say that your style is so refreshing and fun! I love how you show the what's going well and what can be improved upon. It gives a much more realistic outlook on the hobby. Your tank is looking phenomenal even though there are a lot of little issues you pointed out. Nano tanks are so annoying sometimes so I can relate lol especially with space issues. I have a lot more of your content to see and I look forward to seeing your humor sprinkled in with your beautiful b-roll shots and valuable insights. Thanks for sharing and inspiring, keep it up man!!
Recently i heard a good way to eliminate aptasia. Take a little epoxy putty (that stuff to bind rocks with in an aquascape), put it on the aptasia (it will pull back into the rock) and close it with the putty.
@@awalliskandar3289 I'm just running floss because of something but I could run like this indefinitely. No vacuum but I have tendency to clean the glass on the edge of the glass with a scrapper.
@@antshermannstadt probably any of them that comes from warm water and reef. I tried pacific oyster and I don't feel they belong in our reef tank with high temperatures. The mussels you see are the only one I've seen in my lfs
Nice JOOOOB! :X. did you make water changes on coral farm tank? If yes, you can tell how often and how much water? you can present the coral farm tank? Regards
My frag tank? Hmm I do water change once (2?) a month on that one. But it's not a good tank for the corals at the moment, I have so much cyanobacteria, I don't feed that tank at all, no fish and phosphate always go too low (0.000) and Cyano shine in these conditions without competitor. I don't mind too much, because if the corals survive, I can almost guarantee who ever buy my frag that they will do better in their tank.
How many gallons is your aquarium? What are the dimensions? I am enjoying watching your videos. The first one I watched was about using low maintenance and equiptment.
Months ago in my head I imagined in the future, your sump would be full of mussels like 100's of them just filtering the water as it passed through the sump. It sounds funny to me now but it makes me wonder if it would be any good and if mussels need light. And Sir Nic, I cleaned my aquarium before the upload, I'm just boosting this algorithm!
Oh my, I miss having a sump so much. I don't think I'm making the mussel thrives, I think the tank is "too clean" for them to be thrive and reproduce, they like getting flow filled of nutriment (tiny particle like phyto). Mussel doesn't need light. As far I'm aware there's no mussel having photosynthetic feature but I could be wrong.
@@AquaSplendor I read that they respond to light and it might have something to do with cue's for reproduction, in my attempt to see if they needed light but didn't really find anything conclusive. And I mean the inbuilt sump hehe, like where your filter basket is :) I imagined there would be different kinds of filter feeders feeding off the flow in the rear sump section hehe.
i am new and I just cant believe how colorfull and fast your corals grow. im using fluval 13.5 stock everything. my corals dont really grow fast or super colorfull. i wonder if it is the stock light.
I really wish I could get my hands on these Eviotas. There are a few things that I believe freshwater has an upper hand: good looking, classy and sexy equipment and small fish for a better sense of scale. By the way, what happened to the RFAs? Et j'ai rien compris quand t'as parlé en québécois 🤣
Lol. I removed the anemone hmm in the 40ishh episode, I was going full on with big vertical corals that create shadows on them and they didn't anchor like I wished, they moved too much to my taste, was starting to burn some of my corals, and space is a precious thing in nano so I decided to remove them back to my other aquarium instead. RFA was a mistake, I really wanted creating symbiosis with the shrimps but it wasn't the right thing to do in the circonstance of my tank.
@@AquaSplendor I really dig RFAs but I totally understand you. I'm considering a Tridacna. Maybe when I upgrade my tank I can make my 60-F into a RFA garden :)
That's really cool when you explain things! That's really better when we see your face!
Beautiful aquascape
🙏
Hi Nicholas! I was just waiting for your video to go to my job🙂. As always I enjoyed it a lot. Greetings your tank look amazing!
Thank you, Keep the good work :)

Thank you Mermaid, remember to take everything I say with a grain of salt!
(It's my catchy phrase)
@@AquaSplendor haha I like that! Note taken 🧂
Tabernak! That is a beautiful tank. I love your content. keep up the good work....
Merci caliss

Been forever!!!
Great video! Love your video's of the tank, but it's great to see you in front of the camera too! 🙌
Thanks for showing the room for improvement, for the aiptasia the best way I know to get rid of this is using peppermint shrimp from algaebarn
How do you keep your water so crystal clear?
How else? I mean there's nothing in it except filter floss 😅
@@AquaSplendor okay thanks I thought there other like carbon beside filter floss… 😊. Btw do you vacuum your sand bed?
@@awalliskandar3289 I'm just running floss because of something but I could run like this indefinitely. No vacuum but I have tendency to clean the glass on the edge of the glass with a scrapper.
@@AquaSplendor thanks Nicholas for the advice … still a virgin when it come to reef tank. 😔
Great Video! I have a question : What species of mussel do you have in the aquarium?
Absolutely no idea 🤔
Thanks! But can you recommend a good species of mussel?
@@antshermannstadt probably any of them that comes from warm water and reef. I tried pacific oyster and I don't feel they belong in our reef tank with high temperatures.
The mussels you see are the only one I've seen in my lfs
Is there a video where you show what's in the filter/sump?
I filmed literally everything, make sure to watch the series from the beginning! (I don't remember which episode, but its in multiple)

I'd love to buy that tiny red goniopora from you! Let's meet up sometime! 😁

Yeah, the default light isn't the best thing, it keeps stuff above the "alive" bar.
@@AquaSplendor I thought so. Is the AI prime a good choice for a upgrade?
@@slvsh1155 Sure!
No videos in a while? Hoping everything is all good with you!

But a baby peppermint shrimp might work? Not larvae stage
You should watch the video first and than comments LOL :P :P
@@AquaSplendorright xd
First?
