Man this is beautiful. It is such a beautiful hobby. I currently have a 10 gallon mixed reef.. saving up for something like this.Truly an amazing tank youi have. Cheers
I am setting up a SPS dominant tank.. You did a good job on your rock work leaving good space between corals. However, it will get filled in very quickly.. Do you maintain nutrients with Zeovit or NP bio pellet reactor?
I just use NOPOX, a nylon filter sock changed everyday and wet skimming. 10% water change every other week. I always aim for undetectable PO4/NO3 using Salifert tests. Other products I use may also contribute for a good nutrient control, Reef Vitality and Coral Balance both from Fauna Marin. No zeovit. biobellets, GAC, GFO, muds nor refugium.
Hi Jorge Adam here, great video your tank has really come good. I am getting back into reefing with a new tank, I think I saw you at jj the other day? Hope all is well. Great job
Hi Adam, I always have a hard time to remember faces! It took me hours to find out who you are! I am very sorry, Adam. Please, do not think I tried to ignore you! I am just terrible with faces, must be the ageing process! lol I think I remember you now! We met a couple of years ago at the now gone Reef Club! Am I right? Really sorry, I feel like a bast**d now! Next time you see me and I don't say "Hi" please slap me on the head! Everything is fine, always addicted to the hobby! Thanks. How's your tank? You must have upgraded it by now, no?
Jorge Macedo Hey , no problems I saw you as i walked past a shop you were inside. As i said your tank looks great. I have been away from the hobby for a year or so but am setting up a new tank now. hopefully we can swap some frags when my sps get going. thanks Adam
+Steve Brady Hi Steve, I have never tried but I think the coral can be fragged but the tubes where the worms live in can be way longer than the worm itself. Also the colourful visible part of the worm is... its bottom.
Thank you. I Just finished cleaning sump and overflow box, then have to do a bit of maintenance and hope to have a video of equipment and lights released in a week or so.
+Steve Brady Thank you, Steve. Over two years ago I purchased 2 porites heads on the same very day. Don´t know why, one never had problems, but the other one totally bleached and I decided to glue a little montipora spongodes frag to one side of the then ugly rock. Since then the monti has covered most of the Christmas tree worms tubes (3 or 4 are not covered by the monti yet).
Everything is good with the acanthurus sohal and acanthurus olivaceus? Those are bit angry fishes and recommended 250-300g tank for them. I have the same size aquarium, and I would really like a sohal fish but I keep it a little bit of it.
+Bruhbruh1127 The close-up´s were shot with a tamron 90mm 2.8 DI Macro lens and the fts, zooming and panning shots with a Nikkor 14-24mm 2.8. Both lens mounted on my old Nikon D800. Thank you very much.
I am afraid not many people uses watts/liter anymore with modern lighting. Anyway, you could join a discussion forum and ask for advice, depending on the size of your tank as there are so many lighting options available. I use 6 AI Hydra modules over my 150cmx60cmx60cm tank. Thank you for the very kind comments.
What is the highest percentage you run those units? Thx for that answer. Already talked to some Reefers and since you got a gorgeous looking Tank i consider a similar lighting setup. Just curious cause i don't want to burn my coral or spend to much money on power that i won't need in the end.
Nice tank...you should cut the music and tell us more about the tank instead :)))...also a quick description of the filtration system and maintenance would be great ..
+Juice Thanks. I´m thinking to do a tour video but firstly I have to deal with the worst aiptasia outbreak my tank ever had. Anyway, there is nothing special to it. NOPOX, UV, skimmer, calcium reactor and 10% wc weekly. I try to use the KISS method as much as possible.
+Sergino2004 Muito obrigado pelas amáveis palavras, caro amigo. Até há cerca de um mês atrás eu apenas utilizava uma mistura feita em casa para alimentar os corais e peixes; salmão, camarão, amejoas, artemia e bastante nori, tudo comprado no mercado. Agora tenho experimentado com alguns produtos da marca Fauna Marin; Reef Vitality, Color elements, Coral Balance mas por incrivel que parece certas cores de certos corais tem piorado.

+Jorge Macedo que bien Jorgete felicito, yo estoy empezando mi acuario reef y tengo todos los corales pequenos, que estas utilizando para mantener ca kh y mg?
+Sergino2004 Eu uso Reactor de Calcio e dentro como media utilizo ARM Extra Coarse. Tem sido suficiente para manter Ca, KH e MG, no entanto outros elementos têm de ser adicionados (Potassium e outros elementos minoritários). Muito obrigado por tão amáveis palavras.
+NEMO20G ah ah ah... please tell me the exact time in the video as I think we are talking about the Acropora Valida (tri-colour), one of my favourites. :)
+Steve Brady I wish I could, Steve. I bought it very brown and had some Thai name that I didn't get. It is now getting purplish/brown, plating type, slow growth I think. Sorry if I don´t know much about it.
I have no experience with Vortech pumps. Before the Gyres I used six Jebao WP60's and IMHO the Gyres are way better and I only use two of them in the tank (I have four, I swap the two for cleaning) I have been using these gyres for over one year now and I couldn't be happier, especially with their new controllers!
Hi. Until now, Calcium Reactor and Arm Extra coarse and dosing K. I don't see me changing it unless something to worry with the demand/balance of elements.
+Steve Brady For the very first time I am having luck with two Angelfish. A Apolemichthys trimaculatus and a Centropyge eibli. Two weeks in the tank and so far they are very well behaved.
Man bro I could look at your tank all day
Thanks, man! Appreciated.

Thank you very much for watching and for the very kind words, Nancy.
Great coloration and filmography! I was surprised to find out this was an all LED tank. Strong work!

thanks
Adam
Sure, no problem frag swap is always good... my issue now is space for more corals! hehehe. Have a great and happy New Year, Adam.
Muito bonito seu Reef! Parabéns!
+Arthur Lam
Muito obrigado, Arthur.
beautiful. great job
so true lol. well I just bought some :) do you know if the coral is fraggable or will the worms die?
+Steve Brady
Hi Steve, I have never tried but I think the coral can be fragged but the tubes where the worms live in can be way longer than the worm itself. Also the colourful visible part of the worm is... its bottom.
That is awesome!

Beautiful tank. I'm surprised the 3 hawk fishes all get along.
Magnificent!

BEAUTIFUL TANK!
I would love to see the equipment and lights!
Thank you. I Just finished cleaning sump and overflow box, then have to do a bit of maintenance and hope to have a video of equipment and lights released in a week or so.
sir,...i have a red sea 350 with 2 hydra 26 led lights how much flow do u use to go through the tank...can u help me... nice tankj
Hi, Ken, flow depends on the type of corals you are keeping. SPS need high flow, LPS and softies. medium flow.
Beautiful video and camera work!! Can you tell us more about the camera and the settings? thanks
mnelson10000 I used a Nikon D800 DSLR camera in manual mode f8 and 1/30s with wide angle lenses and f22 and 1/30s with macro lens, Auto ISO e WB 10K.
what a gorgeous tank.Subbed you
Thank you very much, Scott.
nice reef! did your xmas tree worms migrate to the monti spongodes or did u get it with them already inside? thx
+Steve Brady
Thank you, Steve.

just got my xmas tree worms and my neon dotty back is showing some interest in them! :( do you know of any natural predators of these worms?
+Steve Brady
Congrats on your Xmas tree worms, Steve. Sadly, most butterflyfish and some angelfish are predatores of Christmas tree worms. :(
What salt are you using? Great fish selections as well!
Fantastic system! What lights are you running?
+The Jersey Reef Guy
Thank you very much. I am running six Hydra52 modules.

I’m amazed your Red Coris Wrasse isn’t munching on your Christmas Tree Worms?
Hey great sps tank! What substrate are you using? Thanks a lot
Nature's Ocean Samoa Pink Reef Sand. Thanks.
awesome video work. looks like a tidal gardens vid. that a 150?
+Jim Chapman
ahahah Tidal garden videos are the best! My poor Nikon camera is no match for that. Yes, it is a 150gl. Thank you very much, Jim
how many watts per liter would you recommend for an sps dominated reeftank?
Great Tank!

Nice tank, how big is your tank. Ty

Thank you!

Porites coral with Christmas tree worms.

Christmas tree worms letting their bottoms out to filter feed :)
Do you like the gyres? I'm not sure if I should go for them over mp40
I have no experience with Vortech pumps. Before the Gyres I used six Jebao WP60's and IMHO the Gyres are way better and I only use two of them in the tank (I have four, I swap the two for cleaning) I have been using these gyres for over one year now and I couldn't be happier, especially with their new controllers!
What method are you following?
Balling Light.

Tunze 9430 skimmer, A/C compressor+drop-in coil, two Eheim800 UV units, Eheim compact 5000 as return pump and Aqua Medic 4 channel dosing pump.
Hello. Balling you use?
Hi. Until now, Calcium Reactor and Arm Extra coarse and dosing K. I don't see me changing it unless something to worry with the demand/balance of elements.
How many litres(gallons)?
150 Us gallons tank + 25 gl sump
Muito bom ;) abraço
