You will need flow but the filtration can be done I don’t like to see cans food You can’t even store them for next weeks you open they are spoiled such a waste They do that with purpose to rip off the reefers it’s an awful way to distribute food for corals

You are talking about food in little can, like cat food? Not sure to understand but there's 0 waste, it's all use within a week.

I can confirm that it is totally possible to have a reef tank as simple as like this one. My tank has been running for almost 3 years with natural filtration such as live rocks and beach sand for biological filtration, a circulation pump and a hangon filter for mechanical filtration (it has added in the last year) and sometimes chemical medias (carbon and GFO). No skimmer, no biomedia. 2 clownfish, 1 pajama, 1 watchman goby, some hermit crabs, turbos and astreas. Soft and LPS corals dominated tank. Recently I added 2 Montiporas (Digitata and Setosa).

I understand you very well, I am a very meticulous person. It has been four months and the reef rule is twenty gallons and I could only add fire shrimp. Actually, I want to feed shrimp goby but I am afraid that they will eat my shrimp, I can't even add Okinawa goby because they will harm my shrimp, so I am doing crazy research but I can't be convinced. I guess I will allocate twenty gallons only for shrimp, especially after this video, thanks.

There is no such thing as full balance in a marine aquarium. There is only The Cycle. The Cycle is constant and neverending. Tanks that look amazing at two years old look might look awful at five. If they still look good, they won't at six, or seven... or ten. Each passing year is another tick closer to some kind of massive crisis. Even Julian Sprung himself can't keep a tank forever - I've seen two videos of his massive living room tank taken maybe five years apart. In the first one the tank has a whole middle section with SPS. In the newer video the SPS is all gone. Eventually, you will come to embrace The Cycle and the Constant Change. There is always a crisis. The aim is to keep the crises small. And always, there lurks the spectre of Old Tank Syndrome, which means you need to pull everything out and rearrange it as if you are a typhoon or hurricane hitting the reef. When should this occur? It all depends on your Cycle. How can you tell it's time? It depends on your Cycle. Source: Me, a reefer since 2003.
@AquaSplendor2 ай бұрын
Well, I completely disagree with this but I understand the point you raise. The tank live as long you put the work in it. The only major difference in long run is the trimming, and reshuffling of coral because of lack of space, reducing down. But that's the gardener's job, and in reefing not many people do this. There's no such thing as old tank syndrome, it's an old human syndrome with a lack of discipline, being too lazy and conplentive. But life gets in the way and you must do something about your tank, which includes shutting it down for most people. Source: Me, a reefer since 1999.

thank you! Question: my aquarium is fully of bioload, he was doing great until yesterday! I added 50 small hermit crabs • for a sudden growth of brown algae around the tank, this morning some corals were looking with white spots and stressed. This is not the first time after adding a new organism, that's why I don't like to add any other animal to my tank but some people recommend me add more hermit and was only a cleaning crew. I did a water change 50% like I always do when this issue happens, 1 shot of nitrifying bacteria and activated carbon. Any comments regarding this issue?
@AquaSplendor3 ай бұрын
Adding more hermit crab won't change this. Keep your nitrate and phosphate at a steady level and with times a balance will form but you most keep maintening your tank, clean it when you can. For example, I don't let the algae grow on glass too long, it take my phosphate which is needed for the coral, and I do my best to keep the phosphate a steady level, manually. White spot on coral could indicate some infection but leather for example will get the upper hand generally speaking with time. you can add bacteria, but before adding, you most know what is inside, make search verification on internet if the bacteria in the bottle are good. Avoid companies who hide their stuff.
