You may not be following this thread these days, but if your cable will fit inside the 8020 channel, I’ve found that cutting up some small squares of foam packaging will work great as a pressure clip to hold the cable inside the channel. If you ever need to pull the cable out, it’s easy peasy.

What ever happened to Rico. I forgot his channel name

Never cared about this before but, is Than looking rather svelte these days?

I lost it at 'Thank you for watching my tedtalk' xD

Rimless looks really cool on KZbin, but mine has been a nightmare to keep it clean because of slashes. Really looking forward to my new innovative marine with euro brace. Adding a screen lid, even a clear one, made the rimless one pointless.

I am one of the volunteers at AquaZoo Leerdam. It makes us so happy to see this video! Reviews like this make our input definitely worth it and it gives motivation to do even better. Thank you 🪸🐠❤️

Can you give me the name of the coral food at 5:10 of this video? Thank you.

Yeah my torches, hammers and frogspawn shake off any food I offer it. But my fuzzy mushrooms curl up like an onion. My palys and zoas seem to take in the food too.. gonis... I'm not too sure. They don't give nothing away..

I love my Isump!

When you mentioned that the roller filter only advanced enough to keep the water level down my first thought was that would lead to a stinky filter as there would be a continuous film of gunk all around the spent filter roll, great for efficiency but I would have expected that would keep the decomposition process going. The fact that the roller filter doesn't smell even when you are up close is really surprising and makes me wonder how that is even possible. I'm not doubting, just really curious how they managed that. Seems to me that the outgoing filter sheet would need to dry out in order for decomposition to stop, not sure how you would manage that. Do they use some sort of non-wicking material? do they have fans blowing air past the outgoing roll? It makes the engineering side of my brain confused. Just out of curiosity, is the spent filter roll dry?

Sadly, it looks like their live guarantee is only 24hrs now. That's basically just DOA which is the industry minimum. Their prices are so high to offer no guarantee.

Love this after hours series. The new building is awesome.

If you want to replace those stainless steel Unistrut clamps, I found some fiberglass ones through a company called Unistrut Buffalo. They are a little pricey but I spec’ed out all my plumbing support with their stuff and it’s nice quality. I recommend their rigid pipe clamps and not the adjustable ones as they aren’t as heavy duty. They’ve got some nice industrial plumbing support stuff available that is well suited for marine environments.

I agree with you Phan. I don't like ocean nose either. I wish someone could quiet the ocean too.

I would imagine the filter rolls would increase odor exponentially. Given that you now have a large surface area of damp bacteria/food/waste/etc. Maybe everyone who uses them is just so used to the general odor of aquariums that you don't notice it. Would be interested to do a comparison based on the senses of someone who doesn't keep tanks.

I have had an MRC Sump with Built in UV since 2020 I did notice the acrylic start to chip in the UV chamber after a year or so.

Super interesting, I really am interested to try and find one of these for my own system.

You should put a controller on the Pump and UV, so that if your main flow pumps stops, it turns off the UV Power supply. UV's can heat the water inside them to the point it melts PVC and Plexiglass. Having a controller controlling them both makes servicing your pumps easier, because it will shut off the UV before any damage happens.

great video Than. Thank you.

I would love to see the before and after microscope slide of those dinoflagellates. Not necessarily a scientific sampling, but it would be cool to see them disappear from the water column.

I like the giant aiptasia tank 🙃😅 That tank is so full of anemones.

What micron is the filter roller I was running a 50 micron my skimmer basically stopped working so i switched to a 200 and it has actually made the whole tank function better. thanks again for another great video.

Thank you for braving through your cold for us. It all looks amazing.

simping for sumps 😛

Its a really interesting method to use instead of large filter socks.

It looks like the water goes through the roller then through some filter socks in the lower sump. Any reason for that?

very nice systems, love it!!!

I want the slow growing Clove Coral.

Thank you so much. The film algae had been keeping my Zoas closed/ barely open for two weeks. I was scared it was a nudibranch but now I noticed it is probably a film algae problem. I used a brush and hopefully they will heal it fixes the problem.

Awesome place and tanks! But I hope they reconsider the Mbu-Frontosa tank cause I had the same combination and it looked awesome until one day the Mbu thought its fun to catch the Frontosa in the middle of their back and bite them in half ...

My nutrients are not terrible. My latest phos is 1.11 which is not nearly as high as I have seen it and I wouldn’t say many would see my phos at that level and fall over dead at the sight of such a number. My alk is low(I forget the rest of my numbers right now) and so are my other areas having a direct effect on coral growth, but nutrient wise my phos isn’t terrible and my nitrates were actually undetectable which is strange since feed friggen dirty pellet food more often than not. So I have a 50/50 ratio with a tank just over one year old and I finally got cyano. It’s not terrible. It’s more stringy garbage all over the place than red slime on the sand. But it’s still nasty and making my coral upset. I bought some chemiclean and microbacter 7.

Very nice, informative, easily digestible content

Also always Thank you! 🙏 I just got some alveopora and looking for some more wavy motion.

Put on a couple of wrassess red Coris etc. something with a little bit of an attitude. But nothing super aggressive

Good Video

Heavy water change every week.

Thank you for giving me something to work on. I am a literal beginner, I've had my aquarium for a little under a month and I'm trying to work out what will look the best for it.

Alex is amazing people!

It was awsome meeting you!

Love his videos. Very nicely put together, informative and easily digestible.

Helloooo. My alk sits around 8.3-8.5 without kalk, but my corals aren’t getting enough calcium and they haven’t made any visible growth in months. I was planning on using kalk to fix this but you mention if your alk is already high to not use calcium hydroxide. Do you think it’s a bad idea to use kalk or do you think there’s a chance it’ll work?

I had a big frag of pulsing xenia in my grandparents tank but when he broke his down we put it in mine. The coral is not doing great and not opening up all the way. Does anybody know why or have an idea?

what’s the name of the one at 9:00?

Excellent advice

You helped a lot. Thank you

What a show! Thanks for bringing us along.

Whatever happened to this tank?

Again some highlights of new wave... My experience unfortunately with them is not as pristine as their tanks. The tanks are indeed well made but if you tend to do a custom project they are not going to be really helpful to avoid any mistakes that anyone can make when designing an aquarium! And tanks can become as mine unpractical. For such a price this is really disappointing and I can't believe that my case is just an isolated one. Sorry if I had to do that again that won't certainly be with them.

Pleasure meeting you 🙏🏼🙌
