Highlight of my day when I see a notificaion from your channel Abe! Thanks for the great info as ALWAYS!

[@b0rXu]

Your videos are pure art, you are definitely the example we all need to progress. Congratulations on your work and thank you for sharing it

[@ricardocarneiro7797]

Kudos for not hiding the little nuisances, theres always something going on when youre a reefer...tank is alive, there will always be other creatures living in our tanks

[@aarondus]

Abe, this was the highlight of my day. Relaxing and educational. I’ve been scratching my head why I can’t lower my po4 and you solved it - the nori might be to blame. I use 1.5 sheets a day. Many thanks!!

[@aarondus]

Abe you’ve inspired me to test 1/4 sheet of nori in 0.00 PPB po4 RODI. After 1hr of soaking, the po4 was 200PPB. I would have never guessed. Thanks again.

Hi Abe! I just want you to know how happy I am finding your KZbin videos/channel. I and my brother is desiring to start Acro tank, one because it’s cool and two because you made us want it so bad- because of your beautiful tank. Been in the hobby for two years now, from softies, and now to mixed. I can’t wait to get it started.Thank you again for all you do and the knowledge you share and repeat. We’re learning so much. Now I just need to find where to get good frags to start with. And maybe from yours?

[@raul7644]

This is an amazing tank, I have a 120G and just watching this video made me set a goal to have a beautiful tank like this one (not exactly) but at least something that has a WOW factor!! Hope I make it.

[@lazyreefer9930]

Holly cow that’s a lot of detritus. I was laughing my ass off when u put the music in the beginning because of all the detritus being launched. Beautiful tank keep up the good work!

[@jestronixhanderson9898]

15 years reefing, almost 6 months of T5 and all I can say is T5 is amazing, led for shimmer and your set. Corals love T5. After looking at some incredible tanks in Germany , I realised T5 grows and colour SPS like nothing else. Of course all the other bits of the puzzle need to be there.

[@CoralEuphoria]

Yeah in my experience, T5 makes the best looking corals with vibrance in daylight (balanced) lighting.

[@ryangonzalez2142]

How did you come across that corroded magnet? I've been grappling with a tin (Sn) problem for approximately a month. After conducting numerous ICP tests, I stumbled upon a screw that had somehow made its way into my sump. Subsequently, I removed the screw and utilized Cupisorb and several other products. Unfortunately, I lost several SPS due to slow tissue necrosis (STN). In an effort to mitigate the issue, I've been performing water changes consistently. Additionally, I switched out all tubing with food-grade silicone. Currently, I've initiated another round of ICP testing for all potential sources of incoming water, including Tropic Marine salt.

[@1itoasif]

WoW awesome video.. now subbed cant believe i havent come across your channel before.. what cycle do you run your MP40s?

[@TheTimSargent]

I’ve got the elephant in the room in my tank as well.... in the process of cycling a new QT tank so I can start moving over coral and then do a complete over haul of my DT. I was going to just leave them be until they started growing on my coral! They’ve taken out my purple stylo, and have grown up through my monti, and are currently growing on a few colonies. It’s really frustrating... hoping I can figure out a solution for the future.

[@skeptics_reef5575]

Absolutely amazing tank 👏 true inspiration right here

[@giuseppegattuso7876]

Amazing reef tank! why do you use this combination of very blue light? what are your levels of no3 and po4?

[@CoralEuphoria]

The 6500K bulb is very yellow so it cancels a lot of the blue resulting in a nice balance

[@giuseppegattuso7876]

@@CoralEuphoria Thanks a lot for the answer. do you think there are LED lights that can replicate your light and can make corals grow and color like with your t5 bulbs?

[@CoralEuphoria]

@@giuseppegattuso7876 No, not in my opinion. You won't get the same results, but you still can get good results with LEDs if you have enough coverage

[@MrDiddyDurk]

Hey, you should try a powerfilter from tunze. It basically is a powerhead with cotton wool for collecting detritus. It will do some maintenance for you

[@diego11571]

What salt do you use? What temperature do you use?

[@stefanomoroni7568]

New wonderful video, the same wonderful tank! I’m your fan and I saw more or less all your videos (many times :) ) and I have a question about the salt that you are now using. I remember an old video (2018) where you posted these parameters. Alkalinity 8.0 dkH Calcium 410 ppm Magnesium 1350 ppm I think they didn’t change so much during the years and I know you are a fan of water change and stability. Here comes my question: you are now using Red Sea Coral Pro that is a bit far from your parameters, mostly in the alkalinity component. Aren’t you worried about the “jump in alkalinity” caused by each water change? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!Stefano

[@CoralEuphoria]

I dont worry about it 🙂

Hi, do you have a video on flow settings you use on your MP40s?

[@CoralEuphoria]

They are on tidal mode and reef crest mode

[@bobbyknox9258]

This reef is insane. How often do you do water changes on it?

[@CoralEuphoria]

Every two weeks at this point

[@g2del]

One more question for you... if all we can afford is black box LEDs with two adjustment knobs, one for white and one for blue, how would you say we should start off balancing them? Should it be 100% blue and maybe 10% white? At first I was running 50/50 and thought that I might be giving my tank Too much white light. Just not sure at this point.

[@CoralEuphoria]

Hard to say. I had the viparspectra over my frag tank. I ran it at 100/20ish for 6 hours, the rest was 100 blue, but that was just based on appearance. I eventually replaced the light for ATI T5s
