140g Acropora Coral Reef Tank Update | Berghia vs. Aiptasia | DIY Media Reactor | The Uglies | SPS

[@Robert-im5ut]

You have the best videography and editing period.....you’re in a class above all the rest. You’re obviously a master at more than reefing! I love your content, keep it up!

[@kinsey304]

dude the sump sponge shots were art!

[@michaelbain6402]

I be waiting on your videos like a TV series! They never disappoint.

[@glenbuyer8738]

It’s a crime against humanity that you only have 10k subs, you’re videos are amazing and you’re reef tank equally so.

[@matthiasmitra8643]

I just discussed your channel and it has quickly become my favorite you tube reef channel. Your content, videography and music is top notch. Please keep it up!

[@donlewis1275]

You’re videos and coral are on another level. Keep the videos coming!

[@TheNzAuCommunity]

Don’t often comment on videos ( this may be my first!). Amazing video quality. Thanks for sharing

[@RatherBeTraveling]

:) Thank you for sharing this experience with the world. Your tank, your editing, the journey of your adventure with the tank is inspiring. :)

[@martijnvanbeek4387]

My deepest bow to you, not only for your beautiful tank but also your way of filming and scoring it. Love it!

[@anthonyrodriguez2570]

Your tank is the goal dude! So beautiful and inspiring.

[@aljan1aljan2]

exceptional tank, i love how as a viewer i felt involved in your story telling w your creative cinematography, keep it 👌🏽

[@acrogarden642]

You really have inspired me to start my own coral farm in the future. I really love what you do and keeping SPS is such a passion of mine that I am trying to get right. I have struggled recently keeping them but I have done my homework and read a lot of books and gained information from local reefers in Los Angeles. I am shutting my tank down soon, moving to NY and this restart will do me wonders. Great video man!

[@thomawhite]

Man, you are really getting GOOD at making these videos! You definitely have a style of your own, and I like it - keep up the great work.

[@craftaquatic6472]

Another wonderful video. I always enjoy how you always give just a little more, than the viewer expects.

[@rickmiranda8183]

Your acropora collection is absolutely breathtaking and gorgeous!

[@ready2watchit]

Absolutely stunning work. I can‘t decide wether your way of making film or your reef is more impressive. Loved it!

[@calipsosreefs4843]

Love how the fish behaves like they were in the ocean hiding between the acros and only come out to eat

[@natalbreefing5934]

Thank you for taking the time to make such well edited and thought out videos.

[@retroreefs7986]

Just another demonstration of how you master reefing. I can’t tell you how many local guys have stopped by recently and have brought up your channel and your methods to me. Your trending big on Long Island lol

[@007LSV]

your creativity shows from your tank to the way you present your videos, awesome!!!

[@petesreef1891]

Stunning Abe beautiful corals 🔥🔥🔥

[@christopherm.7310]

A master class in video editing. Keep up the good work, Sailor.

[@willc3195]

I really liked your videos. Especially I’ve feeling like backing out the hobby lately. I’ve been doing a lot of sticks like you. I actually almost broke down the tank until I saw this video released. It gave me the feeling of back when I started out in the hobby when I actually will get excited and motivated when I see an amazing piece of coral. This video made me wanted to keep going and keep building for what I always wanted, an acro paradise.

[@deadbrother5355]

Great video. Thank you for your work.

[@SPSSimp]

Quality video as always buddy 👌

[@MrSuperSlater]

Very very good editing skills. My favorite channel by far!

[@richardjordan8373]

Quality again and again 👏 👌

[@captivebredcanada]

Very nice video! Not only have your production skills really improved the flow of this video is very nice for a 14 minute video without speaking. I also really like the simple reactor designs. While I do have a couple of BRS reactors I have more than a couple of tanks that could occasionally use carbon polishing, I'll have to put 1 or 2 together.

[@jluusaltwateraquarium8320]

Super fantastic video and corrals too.... I buy alot of Acropora from you... I wish one day it going be like your Acroporas inside your tank... I wish one I can found someone helping me out.... Thanks again.. In few months I'm going older some more Acropora corals....

[@JustMyFish]

That was a very nice video. Shallow reefs are fast becoming my favourite set up😂👍🏻❤️

[@lavasyst]

Best reefing youtuber ! All your video’s are great

[@grzegorzstepien1399]

I love your channel mate. Excelent shots of corals. I wish you publish video's more often. Greethings from central Europe.

[@TrevorHiller]

Amazing tank and video-subscribed.

[@chaseaaronthomasify]

Great video! Love the style. Corals are obviously incredible

[@neilmansi3718]

Awesome tank, I have learnt so much from you. Thankyou

[@REEFEXCLUSIVE]

Hello, friend! you're cool! you motivated me to create my own channel! i also started to study corals and shoot! I did it! thank you and good luck in all your endeavors!

[@ranchermoe]

Awesome video. love the style of your videos, a notch above the rest!

[@rickmiranda8183]

Very entertaining to watch your video with very nice background music!!!

[@SeekoGT]

G'z man... You're doing a great job here. I'll be watching.

[@luiscaldera5754]

I love your tank and the way you keep it .. love your videos keep it up we missed you

[@afyounie]

The slow flow filter is interesting to me for clearing up the water. I inadvertently did that same thing using a Pentek GAC-5 filter cartridge in a 5 inch filter housing. It has a 25 micron prefilter which slowed the flow down considerably. A couple days after installing it and I noticed considerably clearer water. They are $2.76 each, so I plan to only run them every few months or so when I notice the water getting yellow.

[@theguitarist1977]

Lovely tank and nice video. Mind sharing your parameters? Struggling with acropora all the time!

[@SharbucklesReef]

Incredible video and as always, a beautiful tank. Well done

[@hammy387]

Love your videos man!

[@philcavallini9657]

Beautiful as always brother!!

[@lbdeuce]

what a wonderful video

[@luishenriquefeltrin]

Here in Brazil we use a lot of shrimp that we call a dancer (Lysmata wurdemanni or Peppermint Shrimp) to fight aiptasias, in addition to being a natural, permanent and reef safe control. Much easier to care for and can access places where a copperband does not reach, in addition to doing your job much faster than berghia. You only need to be careful if you have any wrasse in the tank, as they love to eat this type of shrimp

[@the.humble.reefer7230]

Awesome video, like how you put it together.

[@geraldgreauxjr.7106]

Really awesome reef system you got there. Looks amazing. If you ever sell frags just let me know! DIY is always fun especially when you dial it in just right and everything comes together.

I watch the hall thing beautiful well done thanks for everything you do for this hobby definitely learning a lot from u and fallowing along all your advice to have success keeping a acro tank I’m still new at keeping some acros so far good but color still not there any tips I will appreciated

[@sevenoahuhi2279]

Nice ...

[@sunnygoold9449]

Ummm I thought someone would have asked this Abe but don't any of your fish eat the Berghia? I would have thought the wrasse and damsels would. I have peppermint shrimp that I put in early on (and I took out 2 bigger aptasia first with F-Aptasia. I still have them in my sump though - possibly I will get 3 Berghia and put them down there and see how they do but they are not worrying me and I have a dragon pipefish up top and plan on getting a few wrasse (incl a Tamrin and a Pencil. Another great video mate - the DIY part was awesome... now you got me thinking

[@Ichthys_Aquatics]

I added 10 berghai to a 80 gallon system about 2 months ago. 5 to a 29 gallon and 5 to a 50 gallon system, that are connected by a common sump. I have not seen them again. I have seen a couple of the aptaisa in the 50 disappear, but none in the 29. From your experience how long does it take to start to see the aptaisa disappear?

[@shifusreef5313]

is it bad to run the toms aqualifters 24/7?

Beautiful aquarium. How do you get those colors? thanks greetings

[@michaelarmstrong5405]

Hi Abe, going back a while when you built the 140g sump you included a DSB. Have you been able to qualify its performance? Cheers

[@CoralEuphoria]

I took it out since putting in the bucket refugiums. I did notice changes that could be attributed to removing the DSB. So I don't know if it was doing anything.

[@michaelarmstrong5405]

@@CoralEuphoria thanks Abe. I have always been concerned about the hydrogen sulphide building and when disturbed causing major issues. I experienced this a very long time ago. Cheers Michael

Do you know how Aiptasia passed trought your quarantine tank?

[@CoralEuphoria]

Probably through the chaeto but im also sure that i got all those nice sponges from the chaeto too

[@tomascaknakis4676]

@@CoralEuphoria Is there way how clean chaeto from all unwanted guests including aiptasia? In my previous tank aiptasia showed after 4-5 months after I added last corals which make quarantine process very difficult if not impossible

[@Ellery-USA]

Do you have any wrasses in that tank? - just wondering if wrasses will ignore the nudibranchs.

[@CoralEuphoria]

I don't

[@mihaia6026]

@Coral Euphoria How many Berghia did you use in the 140g ?

[@CoralEuphoria]

About 13

[@Rem1061]

The sad part is the berghia, when they finally wipe out the aptasia, starve to death. I think they are beautiful in their own right, and really wish there was an alternative to them dying. If we trade them to someone else with an aptasia problem so of them live, but not many.

[@binarysun_]

Aiptasia? Take my word for it: Peppermint Shrimp all day and night long. Everything else is a big waste of money. Had the worst outbreak years ago and spent loads of money for nothing. Peppermints decimated the problem fast and Aiptasia never came back. Not after years.
