Not only do you have a pristine perfect reef aquarium you have the best I’ve ever watched core graphed videos, I watched it over a few times just enjoying the view and listening to the music. Love it!
Beautiful Tank- I just subscribed - I saw your tank for the firt time on CJ's video! love your tank and corals- I hope I get to see more videos! Thanks for sharing!
Dude! You are just killing it! Great video great music great videography. I am just starting my reefer 450 and will strive to be like you. Your tank is my new inspiration Subscribed
Amazing system Phil. You really look like you have things dialed in. It is great to see you have battled your way through adversity. I have had some similar issues, losing 90% of my livestock to velvet and now i am currently battling dinos. You inspire me on what is waiting on the other side. 👍👊
Happy anniversary Phil. Your tank looks great. You always have ups and downs in this hobby as you know. Glad to see that you have stuck with it and have an amazing tank now.
What an amazing year indeed!!! I know that I am at the beginning of my second year and battling gha right now. Its not fun but im no quitter! Keep up the great work. I hope my tank looks this nice next year hahaha
Watched this, got sidetracked, commented about this on IG before here??? I'm losing it. Looking awesome buddy, testament to your hard work and perseverance through the ugly bits.. 🏴❤💚🐠
Hey Phil. Just wanted to say I love Your Tank. I had a nightmare and basically just binge watched all of your videos and wanted to wait until now to make a comment. It didn’t help the fact that I’m subscribed to your video but the notification bell wasn’t hit. But anyways keep up the great work and content.
Yeah! Victory lap!! Well done...I love it! This is a testament to all the new reefers that hard work, patience, good husbandry, and stability pays off in the end. Don’t give up! Keep on keepin’ on. Very nice growth for that 2nd year. 🔥Appreciate the video I enjoyed it. You still loving the CaRx?
The Flame nipped quite a bit when I first added it. Most of my Acros would only extend polyps at night. Recently the Flame has backed off and I'm getting slight poly extension again during lighting period. Things seem to be turning around but honestly I wish I would have not added it. One of my favorite fish though. Love Hate.
Yeah that’s what I’m afraid of too. I love the way they look and swim. Was thinking making it my last fish addition but I don’t want to run in to any problems with him nipping at corals. So I probably won’t. Thanks for the quick reply.
Nice tank! I have a Red Sea reefer with mixed reef and eco techs as well. Just curious , what’s your light setting and what’ is the peak intensity ? Thabks
Watch my video called "How I run my Reef" I use a Calcium Reactor and supplement with AquaForest Comp A B C which is their trace elements. I'm also dosing AcroPower by 2 little fishies.
Hi, your tank make me mad. It's really beautifull. I just start one after following your videos. May you tell me what set up have you choose for your Gyre?
Thank you Sylvain. My Gyres are set on the built in LTC mode. I was running the LTC mode: min 20%, Max 60% My SPS has continued to grow blocking the flow so I've gradually increased the max flow to 100% with the growth of coral. I've tried other flow patterns but to keep everything, SPS, LPS and softies happy, LTC mode has worked the best with my aquascaping and coral.
@UC3M3ssWK-tQNBakbH0-B74w I'm running mine at 80% so you could always turn them down. 330's would probably be fine, I just like having the option to run higher flow.
Thanks Fernando. They are the Gyre XF-250's. Just this week I added 2 mp40's to the back wall for additional flow. As my coral is getting larger I'm starting to see dead spots and need the additional flow.
@@MeditationMelodiessounds Both are great pumps. For ease of cleaning I'd go for the MP40's. Either way I'm sure you will be happy. I love my Gyres. When I Aquascaped my tank, I setup for using Gyres up high. Placement of the new MP40's was tough because of my aquascape.
Running them at 20k , 100% Blues, Violet,Uv and 0% whites, red and green except for the peak of day where I have Whites, Red and Green set to 20% which is about 19K.
Hi Linda. I have know idea who pop and drop is and I don't really care. I'm not here for drama, I'm here to share and talk about Reeftanks and the hobby I love. Have a great weekend. 😀
Reefkpr hi well as far as I'm concerned you should really be happy to still have a wrench from Rico because he's very well known for taking people's wrenches away the only reason that he has you there as a monitor is because I was one of the ones that threatened to let him know to display your aquarium which he did so you owe me a thanks and yes you're right there is a lot of drama going on and Billy pipes just informed me that there is going to be a huge livestream come back on his defense have a nice day don't forget to feed the fishes 👀

Just added you to my favorites! Whose music is that? Tried to Shazam it but nothing came back.
Thanks Charles. The music is a cover band. Sorry can't remember the band name. The song is The Chain originally performed by Fleetwood Mac.
Too cool new sub

Tank always looking good Phil! How do keep the sand white
Thanks Damarris. Sand sifting star, snails and I stir it up every couple of weeks. Stays pretty clean.
👊👍
Thanks for stopping by Rico. Thanks for bringing a platform for us Reefers to get together. Keep up the live streams. Great learning tool.
sand bed, do you have to update replish new sand every year to make it clean
Nice tank! I have a Red Sea reefer with mixed reef and eco techs as well. Just curious , what’s your light setting and what’ is the peak intensity ? Thabks
Thanks Sky72. I'm running a modified version of SPS AB+ extended at end of day with all blues. Peak intensity at 52%
Could you say your routine maintenance, equipment and supplements used?

Ta topzeira demais
Very Nice ! Gyres 230 or 250 ?
Gyre 250's at 80% LTC mode.
Reefkpr , i have the 425xl. What do you think? Gyre 330 or gyre 350? Thanks!
I would go with the 350's if you plan on having SPS.
@UC3M3ssWK-tQNBakbH0-B74w I'm running mine at 80% so you could always turn them down. 330's would probably be fine, I just like having the option to run higher flow.
And your parameters ? Ca, Mg, Ra ? How values you keep ?
Alk 8.6 DKH, Calcium 440, Magnesium 1400 Nitrate 2-5ppm and Phos. .03-.08
which pumps are you using?
Reef Octopus Vario s8 for return pump and Maxspect Gyre XF250's for flow.
How did you manage to remove the bryopsis? I've been struggling to get rid of it for the past 3 months and on the verge of just shutting it all down
I used Fluconozole. I had a very small patch return and I covered it with Kalk paste then super glued over the top.
whats model on gyres? sweet tank btw
