does the rough side of the diffuser need to be facing towards the light or down facing the tank thank you..

I does seem counter productive to be removing nutrients with Nopox and at the same time having to over feed to compensate. Just throwing money away. Surely there has to be a happy medium somewhere? As you say very low dosing to start and watching the corals and live rock closely. I have always used Rowphos and considered switching to Nopox via a dosing pump. Now not so sure.

Apparently there is plenty of organic phosphates even when your tank is zero on the hanna but a hanna is 5 percent out of calibration I use allso salifert check against a vile of test water and fresh tank check the difference in colour you will see slight blue that's enough po4 plus with the organic po4 I found adding z elements nitro plus lowers my po4 bit along as I get a bit of blue on the salifert I happy

what torch at the beginnng?

What is your pH at?

Nice, it's alive! How did your corals react?

I'm removing all my live stock and then am going to try this. Can you send me what brand you use and what dosage?

Mithraculus sculptus should help against this bubblealgea before it get out of the hand.

Biology isnt running, water low nutritiant, sand more nutritions in, so dinoflagelats comes first to „chew“ on that, after that cyanos. Nasarius snails, strombus or conomurex snails and buriing seestars(archaster typicus) will help for cleaning the sand. Higher silicate levels also can show up like this. With barebottom there are less problems, also caribsea livesand tend for this kind of smear…

1. Phosban reactor 2. Carbon 3. Limit food quantities and soak everything in rodi 4. Limit ur hand exposure to the water 5. Lower a bit the lighting schedule

I certainly wish you well with your future reefing endeavors. I just happened to come across your channel from searching for more information about Aquaforest Component 1+2+3+ dosing system. I can understand your logic for not dosing the third component to the system however I don't necessarily agree with it. Reason is this system is designed to be dosed in equal amounts and each of the major elements contain certain amounts of minor and trace elements. Each component with the respective minor & trace elements are to be dosed without any precipitation of the elements as long as they are allowed some time between each of the components. Therefore if you continue to only dose the two components eventually your system will become unbalanced and could potentially crash. With the home work I have done on Aquaforest 1+2+3+. Fauna Marin's Ready2Reef and personal experience with Tropic Marin's All for Reef. They are basically similar products however the Aquaforest product does appear to have something about it that just makes the corals really pop in growth and coloration. I am seriously considering making the switch sooner than later. Good luck.

why not emerald crab? regarding bubble alage

I've been dosing 8ml per day for quite a while. NOPOX just didnt seem to work so I increased to 8ml where I got No3 down to 15-20ppm. Then I see this and the latest RedSea advice on use says no more than 3ml per day. I have a 120 liter system. I have now dropped to 1ml per day. But my NO3 started to rise already. My system is 2 years old with lots of bio rock and skimmer. Maybe my skimmer is not doing the job?

Absolutely beautiful

Looks amazing, you could add a little red coral it will be nice!!

Absolutely gorgeous tank. I love the colorful underwater world in saltwater tanks.

I've not see a good explanation on how it works. Normally in a aquarium you have wastes - Fish eat = ammonia in the water = death - A bacteria that is on every fish will convert ammonia to nitrite = less toxic then a 2nd bacteria again on every fish (you don't have to find it) converts Nitrite to less toxic Nitrate Nitrate = food for ugly green hair algae What eats Nitrate? - Plants - what is thy by product? - Anaerobic bacteria - low oxygen bacteria only found deep in poorly perfused rocks or deep sand beds. How does Nopox help with aerobic bacteria ? What is the name of the bacteria it helps grow? How does this bacteria convert Nitrate and Phosphate to ??? Where does the nitrate and phosphate go? What is it converted to. They never answer this. Its just hey I dump this stuff in my tank and it lowers my Nitrates by magic.

May I ask, is this mountable without the arm thay comes with it. I see you used wires but I don't see screw holes on top of these in pictures on BRS. I found one with no mounting arm and wonder if I should buy it.

Can somebody help explain why my live stocks (frostbite bullet hole clownfishes x 2, fire shrimp, cleaner shrimp) died after dosing just 2 ml on a 40 gallon tank? I followed the instruction. I had my protein skimmer turned on.

amazing tank. what's the name of that very bright torch (smaller than others) on the far left?

Just curious how you have your Nero’s set up and flow shedule

What protein skimmer do you have in this video? Is it turned off? And do you recommend it?

ive been thinking of using nopox just to lower my nitrates down to around 3-5 and then to use some gfo to counter the phosphates, is this a good idea?

Sweet setup. I actually just ordered this tank non drilled. I'm going to do a blackwater south american setup with it. I love the footprint. Yours looks amazing nice job

excellent 👍🙏🔥

Lanthanum phosphate is the term you are blanking out on.

How did you make it rimless?

Those GSP!

Can I know what your lighting program is?

I still can’t find that damn green torch in the middle any where !!!! Can I buy a frag from you

Where did you purchase this tank?

Very nice! Where did you buy the seapora? Im trying to look for one

What flow pattern did you run on the neros

I agree with you 110% tanks with no nitrates and phosphates produces less color less growth I have a SPS dominate Tank my nitrates are between 5 ppm to 7.5 ppm it is definitely the best looking tank with little to no maintenance with exception for water changes

What flow setting do you run

I've no idea if you are still monitoring these comments. But I love the aquascape and am wondering if you have any pictures or video of setting up the scape? Like, building it and shots of what it looked like before you started adding corals? Also, what brand/type of rock did you use? Kind'a looks like CaribSea.

Big ol glove, I always worry about those big plastic gloves (that I see a lot of reviews say have a strong chemical smell) adding more contaminants than my hand

It is starting to look good, where did you get the Vinyl to cover the trim for your 40 breeder? thanks for sharing this video.... Many good ideas...

Very nice!!

I missed it! 😩

I agree keep very low over time. Dose once a month very low dose to keep things in check. I feed heavy for my fish and corals on a daily and nightly bases. I find my tank needs this. Have you heard of Rx product give it a go very good.

I have a lot of touch corals under lot of water movement and do very well. If i put touch in a area of low flow it does not do as well. If i move in higher flow it improves.

Did u use chemiclean with all the torches

Why did you go to glass?

You can’t always follow the directions on the box for things like this. You have to watch your tank and understand a little bit about water chemistry. Also, once you have established a loving, attentive, sexual relationship with your tank, it will let you know what is likes and what it doesn’t

Im so jealous with your torch coral 😩

How's your torches growing on component 1,2,3

Is that pink tip torch in your tank?

I'm in NC thinking of moving to the beach. How are you liking FL?
