Great and clean setup! Excited to see more of the tank

[@MyTube4Utoo]

Very impressive, and informative. Thank you.

[@ou812reefing]

Great job details right on the money

[@CJSAQUARIUMS]

I miss the old music. Nice setup!

[@Newwaveaquaria2k]

Hahaha noted. Figured we'd switch it up to keep you on your toes but we may go back on the next one ;)

[@johnbrand1893]

Sound like he’s on speed when he’s explaining about the backup system. 😂😂

[@queencityreefs]

Great looking tank 👌🏻👏🏻✌🏻

[@IMGbaugher]

Great setup.

[@strat1960s]

Thank you for sharing this system. How much do you trust the Trident to trigger the Alk/Cal/Mag Dose pumps? I have found +/- varriations when I weekly test with Hanna testers.

[@Evil_Genius_888]

Wow! Wish I had that water change system for my basement corner fishroom. lol. I’m probably changing over a 100 gallons a week by hand now.

[@Newwaveaquaria2k]

It's one of those things that makes maintenance WAY more easy. Well worth the investment...

[@RankinsReef1980]

I see the RPM blue box in the video. Is that what goes in most y’all’s tanks?

[@TrevorHiller]

I’m curious about the 3-Way Tee off the abyzz. What’s the middle leg? Really good presentation skills, Hope to see more!

[@bigheadreef579]

@New Wave Aquaria Do you have a video showing how to set-up a water changing station like the one is this video?

[@Newwaveaquaria2k]

Not yet! But we do have it on the list of videos that we would like to shoot in the near future so you can expect one to be released at some point!

[@322sheffield]

On your abyzz return pump you split the 1.5" return line into 2 one inch?

[@charliekahukiwa2552]

The system is amazing, but Im trying to comprehend the concept of the refugium in this system....if there is a need to dose for nitrates would it not be better to just run the protein skimmer for a certain time period so the nitrates build up enough for the Refugium to operate without the need to dose ?

[@thesupercheerio]

Part of it is control. Typically what I've found is over time, the amount of nitrates that needs to be dosed goes down, sometimes to nothing. Rather does just enough and keep the nitrates right where I want them, vs guess and experiment on a clients tanks.

[@Newwaveaquaria2k]

Adding on to what @thesupercheerio mentioned... you also get benefits of running the skimmer 24 hours. You get more O2 exchange which also effects PH. Overall we find heavy-in, heavy-out gives tanks more stability while also providing all the necessary nutrients to our livestock

[@winstonclyde]

Where can i find that sponge switch?!

[@alberttorosyan2747]

Your set up looks like a mess I hope you will clean it up

[@thesupercheerio]

Glad to see you watched the entire video 🙂
