What an incredible skinny-long build. I know those challenges that come with the restrictions of your real estate… but spot on for what they had to work with and I love seeing the risk takers out there going large on what they love! Thanks for going on this adventure!
Troy this is amazing and look awesome. I thing I caught was the UV should be flipped around to maximize efficiency and to ensure to air pockets or have it vertically with the in flow at the bottom and out flow at the top
Nice work Troy! Maybe if you try to clean a bit that back wall of Caroline algae the Alkalinity conception would be less and easier to stabilise. Keep up the great work it's looking great, would be nice to see it in the 3 years mark . Thanks Sam!
Great job! Did the UV sterilizer fix the disease outbreak or did Troy pull his surviving fish and let the aquarium go fallow? And does he quarantine his fish now or is the UV sterilizer keeping disease under control?
Hi, I am about to set a tank here in Melbourne and I am also new to the city. I heard at somepoint you said that someone sells pre mixed water named "Bruce" also that is cost effective? How I can contact him? Thank you great videos and just excited to start a new project here in Australia
Exciting times! Bruce is my water delivery guy and he is amazing, however he is a Geelong local and rarely delivers to Melbourne. You want to reach out to a guy named Anthony Jeffery who does water delivery in Melbourne :)
Hey man i just got 2 baby clowns and 2 baby yellow and blue tang. Hiw come they never ever swim around the tank ? They are always hiding and only come out when i throw food in the tank. If i would of known this i would of never spent 1500 on all this.....i am frustrated any advice ?

Thanks for watching!
i like your two'ers but also like tours ;)
welcome to Australia :)
Troy has done a great job with his first reef tank. His corals & fish look vibrant & healthy. Thanks for the tour Sam!
Thanks mate, appreciate it!

Thanks for the tips!
Great job for such a young tank. 👏
agreed!
Been watching this tank flourish since they got it, cant wait to see where it goes in the coming years!
They’ve done an incredible job!

Thanks mate, hope you’re doing well

Yeah great question. After losing quite a few fish, Troy then added the UV and restocked. I don’t believe the system ever went properly fallow
That crazy my coral beauty is harmless wow
Every fish is unique!!
@@ParkersReef just like people
@moereefer indeed!
I love Kessil light ❤, i didn't know there were white.
Kessil sure make a nice light

Hey mate would you recommend switching to natural sea water? I’m using Red Sea bucket atm 4 foot tank.
I would, but only if you have access to a high quality natural sea water
@@ParkersReef would aquarium stores provide that?
yes usually
What color AI Blade? Very nice
Grow :)
Nice setup, great video..
How long can you store Natural salt water before it deteriorates?
In the right conditions, forever

Yes, give it time. The fish are new and a little scared. They will settle in soon enough 👍🏻
Love the video, beautiful tank. My $$ is on the Purple in 3 months… yellow knows it or I’d be more of a jerk now. :)
Hahah yes fair call
26 cold 🥶
Celsius, that’s fairly warm
I’m having the same issues
Which ones? Troy has his tank cranking along now :)
@@ParkersReefdetritus in the sump
@RicardoRodriguez-bt9in yeah we all do. Filter socks or a filter roller will help, but ultimately you will need to give it a clean out now and then
Yep yep
Yep yep
Pretty sure having the UV plumbed like that doesn’t allow the whole unit to be full of water.
It does, as the water had to go above it to return to the tank 👍🏻
@@ParkersReef perfect.
Yep yep yep
You bet
Looks like your old tank.
Certainly has some resemblance!!
Go big or go home I guess ;)
That’s it!
