    Hey Guys, I’m giving a go with a premiere video. This will allow me to watch at the same time you are watching. I believe a chat should appear when the video starts. 3PM Eastern Standard Time. My first try 😂 let’s see how it goes? 😃

    If you get a diffuser for the light in the 20g it will get rid of that disco effect.

      Right! I’ve seen those, I didn’t think about that until you mention it. I’ve also noticed that it is a camera setting thing. It appears much worse on camera👍🏻

    Right now my struggle is a bicolor angel who started eating a few corals. Duncans, pectinia and a frogspawn. Puts me in a bad mood hate the idea of trying and trap him. Hope I can find coral he will leave alone and sleep can find peace again. I feed 3 times a day plus some nori...

      Hi Nick, angels aren’t really reef safe. It will continue to pick😏 you may have to use the trap I used to get my fox face out of my tank.

    Hi Tom! Are you just doing water changes in the 20g? Still using kalkwasser in top off for that tank?

    • @TOMReefer
      @TOMReefer  9 місяців тому +1

      Hi Scott, I’ve been changing water more in the 20 gallon. 20% twice monthly. So no kalkwasser in the top off. I will test weekly to see what calc and alk are doing. Then maybe some kalk. or possibly start up a two part? 😊

    • @TOMReefer

      Hi G reef, I’ve had great success with ChemiClean. I keep it on hand. It’s completely reef safe and works really well. Just follow instructions. If you want to tough it out, and try natural, it’s siphon it off daily and wait weeks. ChemiClean usually takes 48 hours. My guess is you have a low flow tank, which encourages cyano.

    What is the best liquid coral food that I can add to the powerhead?
    I want something that will kick up the growth. I don't want to manually feed them. I would like to pour and leave. Thank you.

    • @TOMReefer
      @TOMReefer  9 місяців тому +1

      Hi AOG, not all coral require direct feeding/food. They get their nutrients and trace elements from the water. So as far as coral food you would have to tell me what coral you are trying to feed. 😊I personally don’t feed anything into the water column. But my corals don’t require feeding

    • @AOG_ETH
      @AOG_ETH 9 місяців тому

      @TOMReefer lol I honestly don't know what I have. I have 2 clowns and 6 chromis. I suppose their waste is sufficient enough.

    • @TOMReefer
      @TOMReefer  9 місяців тому +1

      @AOG_ETH yes, you really don’t need to feed most corals. Some that may require food, if you have them we’ll get that from the food that the fish don’t eat.👍🏻😊 watch more of my videos 😃

    Hey I have a 15 gallon tank and my clowns can’t sit still because of the wave maker and I was wondering because the tanks built in filter is powerful enough but will it get all the degree and stuff in the tank, and also I got a Kenya tree today and was wondering why it’s flopping down? Thanks again

    • @TOMReefer
      @TOMReefer  9 місяців тому +1

      Hey Cookies, you should be able to get away without the wave maker. Or get a lower flow wave maker. Kenya Tree, do not always stand straight up. Flopping down is normal. Over time it should grow and stand more upright. 👍🏻

    • @cookiescards4937

      oh and one more thing is it okay to add shrimp to your reef tank if there’s corals everywhere, since they like the rocks and stuff

    • @TOMReefer
      @TOMReefer  9 місяців тому

      @cookiescards4937 it can be hit or miss. They will climb on, and pull any food that lands on food eating corals. But they won’t eat coral. I’m talking about peppermint shrimp. Not sure about the others.

      No plans yet. I’m in a phase where I really like the school of BG chromis. The large omnivores in 75 gallons tend to nip at coral. It’s not really big enough. But I can’t say I’ll never try again 👍🏻
