Thank you for taking the time to watch the channel. I'm so impressed with the little Pico reef for the money. In a few weeks I will add a few easy to keep corals. 🤞 Hopefully, it will look nice.

The Pico is a superb looking tank. Just letting it cycle and settle, no rush and then add some easy to keep corals, if they exist 😂😬. The max nano has hit its stride now and corals are growing well, with some beautiful colours. Those Rasta Zoa's have taken over 😂. I think it's the amino acids and iodine dosing. Love the school holidays, it gives us all time with our families and reef tanks. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment mate 🙂👍. Hope to see you on a live again soon.

I've just started a tank a couple of weeks ago, and following much like you did in your red sea nano.....I've also used tmc eco rock, but I've since read a lot of forums declaring that it was responsible for leaching cobalt, silicates and phosphate. Have you experienced this? (I know in one of your videos you did a triton test and I remember you had elevated silicates).
@jaysrealreefuk2 жыл бұрын
Great to hear you are on the max nano journey 🙂. Such a brilliant little tank. How is it coming along? Is it cycled? Have you added your first livestock yet?! I've not had any issues with the Eco Reef rock in the nano tank as far as I'm aware of. I put the elevated phosphates down to my use of 'spotless RO water'. I should really make my own RO water, but it's the convenience and low cost that makes me go back. I have heard the stories about Eco Reef rock though.
