Thank you!

I'm amazed they're not talked about more. Real life saver! Thanks for the kind words!

I love the light in theory, but I struggle to recommend it full heartedly because the fan is quite loud. This tank is in a room where it doesn't bother anyone but I wouldn't be able to stand it in a busier living area! It's a shame as other the light is great!

You mean between the sand and front glass? This is really normal to have, I don't think I've seen a mature tank without it. It's not necessarily cyano, it could be beneficial bacteria, like purple non sulphur bacteria. Every now and again I might scrap it off but in general it doesn't bother me. I wouldn't treat for it.

@so_so_reef Thanks for the info...Glad I didn't treat my tank...Man I gotta tell u your tank.is amazing ...What's the name of the coral you have on the back that looks like a super big Gargonia...

@@milkspotscausemetospazzout6813 no worries and thanks! The big green one in the back left is a green Kenya tree, then the rest along the back are all different types of Gorgonian 🪸

@so_so_reef thank you,I have asked people on many videos and could not get a response for the longest time.. I'll be looking for one of these soon

@@milkspotscausemetospazzout6813 you're welcome!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Oh gosh, that's such a big question! My advice would be to use live rock if you can. I set this tank up with live rock and added corals and fish within a few days. I also included a bit of cycled biomedia from another tank. That meant it was cycled essentially straight away. I obviously checked there was no ammonia or nitrites before adding livestock. But other tanks I've done the classic cycle and the only thing you can do is test frequently, go slow, try and get a bit of live rock in there if you're using dry. Keep your lights off for the cycle. You should definitely give it a go. Best of luck!

I will double check but I think it's about 100 on the sand bed maybe 250 at the top? But will confirm. I just rip the macro out when it gets too big.

The tank came with a light that I used for about 6 months without issue. It grew coral for sure. After I added the anemone it was always stretching for more light so I decided to get something more powerful. The K7 is very powerful - at 100% it gave me 4000 PAR at the surface on this small tank! I like the light, the only criticism is that I think the fans are quite loud. Others have said the fan noise is not that bad, so maybe I got an especially noisy one.

@@so_so_reef Thank you for the reply ! I think i will go with the k7 mini. Its exterior will probably fit much better than the k7 on my 20gal cube.

@@ccn5065 good luck! Finding the right light can be a challenge

Thanks! Yes same name as this channel :)

Just from another reefer online. Are you in the UK? Just pulled a load out.

Yes I am in the uk been looking everywhere for some

@@leeandmandybattersby5958 are you on instagram? If so you can message me there or on ultimate reef, I can post you some.

That’s great thanks

About 16 US gallons or 13 imperial.

Thank you so much! So apparently Fiji has opened back up and we should be seeing them much more regularly again. I must've got some of the first to be imported in years.

Bought my first Fiji in years the other month. I'm about to buy my second one. Advanced Aqaurium Consultancy in Harlow UK has been getting then in at around 70 quid. They have a very large range of basically every coral you can think of.

Sorry not sure which coral you mean!

I use a reefloat. The video before this one gives a review of it! I trust it completely.

Thanks for pointing that out, site is closed until Feb. 1, will visit when open again.

Thanks! Good luck, I think softies have more variety than people make out.

@@so_so_reef I'm just looking for less drama out of them to be honest 😅 They seem pretty chilled.

@IndoorEcosystem definitely! This tank is very easy.

I dose 1 ml of reef zlements nitroplus on about 50 litres

Thank you!

Thank youN

I read this too. I was thinking about putting one of the Fiji yellow leathers in my sps dominant tank but was advised against it for this reason.

@so_so_reef i read some more I have 100rds of discoma and rodactis and hairy rodactis I got a tank full of sps and lps I read its the lether coral family Alcyoniidae and others

Reef Keeper moss end. They still had one last I was there.

Yeah I'd love to add a blue sponge! I've got some bright blue mushrooms but they are still tiny and seemingly quite slow growing. Never tried rics but always liked the look of them.

Thanks dude!

Haha, thanks, it is very basic, I have no idea what I am doing!

Noopsyche K7 Pro.

@@so_so_reef how much u bought it for as well

It's about £150 on Aliexpress.

Thank you!

It's a Noo-Psyche k7 pro. Not sure on the spectrum, but I know I have the whites and reds pretty high!

Thanks!

Every now and again I get in there with scissors and tweezers to pull them out!

@@so_so_reef I think at this point I would only keep them in a small tank. They can out compete just about anything in a larger tank. But they are amazing to look at.

Thanks!

Thanks! There are a few about but it's true the big ones are all mostly from the US except reef dork.

Thank you! Cheers!

Not sure...I wonder if the light interferes with it? I previously had a sensor in the tank and I had a 3D printer cover for it because I found snails used to claw over it and set it off!

Thanks! It's in a good groove at the moment. As I say, so far it's been great. You can also replace the sensor for about £19 I think, so saves replacing the whole unit if it does go! Also cheap enough to just have a spare sensor on hand.
