Nice ReeferGil - and of course that is the slickest looking mud tray I've ever seen! : )

[@ReeferGil]

[@regentsaquariums5692]

[@katehalle407]

Gosh everything looks great!!

[@ReeferGil]

HAHA, thanks Kate!

[@EduardoC]

Oh nice tray! maybe I need to give it a try to miracle mud.

[@ReeferGil]

I really think it does work and benefits the overall system. Thanks Ed!

[@callmenemo491]

looking good Gil !

[@ReeferGil]

Thank you Wissam!

[@AcuaTV]

I would not setup a new aquarium without Miracle Mud. I've been using it for 5 years and I love it. (And just to be clear, I change it every 2 years or so lol).

[@ReeferGil]

I agree! Loving your videos man, keep them coming!

[@adnailsupply]

Do you still need to dose if you use miracle mud? And can you dose kalk also?

[@sylvesterreef2637]

Hi sump looking great mate I love it great video 👍

[@ReeferGil]

Thanks Sylvester!

[@darrensaquaticsworld]

Love this sump, top notch 👍

[@ReeferGil]

Thank you Darren!

[@Davelembo]

Good stuff Gil. Your sump and plumbing are beautiful. Mans even got a nice lookin mud tray lol

[@ReeferGil]

LOL, wait till next Sunday. OCD is full effect!

[@DLJFunk]

good info really like the way your system looks my next build I'm gonna follow your plans

[@ReeferGil]

I can't wait to see it Darryl, I know you'll kill it! Thanks so much too.

[@Wavy_Aquatics]

interested in the mud tray, is this still something that can be purchased?

[@davidshownuffwilliamson4626]

Where can I get mirical mud trays? I'm using it right now

[@ReeferGil]

If you want a nice one, check with a plastics shope. Otherwise a lot of folks use Tupperware containers.

[@SCReefer]

Nice mud video. I need to get some.

[@ReeferGil]

I think it does help out, just based on observations, nothing scientific.

[@skillz_311]

i need a mud tray for my trigger 34 sapphire, where i can get one designed like yours?

[@mrkleinreef]

When I would change my mud on my 29g tank I’d lower the water level in the sump by pumping water from the return pump section. Since the water level in the fuge section won’t drain all the dust would stay in that one chamber. No filter floss or anything. Then I just dumped the water back in. Cool video tho!

[@ReeferGil]

Hey Klein, great way to get'r done! Thanks for sharing!

[@joshuameadows1972]

What's your dimensions of your sump

[@arileandro]

What’s your skimmer? Is it overrated for the size of your tank? Do you plan to do biopellets ?

[@ReeferGil]

Hey Ari, it's a Skimz Skimmer and yes, it's rate for more gallons than my system. I don't do biopellets. Thanks.

[@garrettling909]

how is your chaeto section so clean?! my chaeto always gets covered in brown algae and the whole section where the chaeto is is covered in brown algae and im using the H80

[@ReeferGil]

Oh, it's not always clean. If I let it go, it would be covered in GHA. I clean it out every week.

[@bertotorres336]

How often does Miracle Mud need replacing?

[@ronaldevans1618]

Hello my i say why didn't you put the mud in a nylon bag this way it wouldn't go all over the place

[@christiancarey8230]

great video as always Gil. Can you put marine pure in with the mud aswell? forgive me i am still an apprentice in between tanks right now. thanks in advance

[@ReeferGil]

Hey Christian, I took all my Marine Pure Blocks out of the system. Way too messy for me and I suspect it helped grow some green hair algae I'm currently fighting. I have enough rock that will house the bacteria.

[@PRFishGirl]

I tried MM in my 75 and it was just collecting shit on top of it.. didn’t see much difference..idk maybe I should give it another try

[@ReeferGil]

Sounds like maybe not enough flow? Maybe, IDK. Not everyone is as thrilled with MM as I am :)

[@ericwilmoth395]

Can I buy your ruby red tray and stand? Or can you tell me who made your new one?

[@ericwilmoth395]

Or how to order one with info to reach him

[@ReeferGil]

What state are you in?

[@ericwilmoth395]

WV

[@AmericanReefing]

Great video Gil! I will definitely be looking into miracle mud. How do you like the lid on the tank would you still recommend getting one from that company? Thank you

[@ReeferGil]

I love this lid. The only complaint is the condensation build up, but they have a fix for that already. Otherwise a 4 foot long lid like this can be somewhat cumbersome to take on and off. In the end, I would recommend it.

[@AmericanReefing]

ReeferGil thanks buddy appreciate it

[@pelphrey]

Great video!! That sump and MM tray are top notch!! How you liking that COR?

[@ReeferGil]

I'm really impressed with the COR, took your advice and dialed it down to 60%. No more sand storms, lol.

[@915Mang]

The new Tray is pretty nice. I looked at the chart id need 40lbs of mud :(

[@ReeferGil]

40lbs sounds insane, especially how expensive this stuff is.

[@Vdeez]

I had to delete my comment Gil. I was thinking of advanced acrylics, not acrylic creations. I've heard pretty good things about acrylic creations, though I will say that the frag tank that I have from them has some blemishes in the seams. To be honest it was only $100 or so for a 28x18x8 or so tank so I'm not complaining.

[@ReeferGil]

Chad Hutson Hey Chad, thanks for the correction. Glad to hear their customer service is on point.

[@frontrangecoral9626]

you need to fix that rock stack to allow more flow through

[@ReeferGil]

Joe Camilli Time will tell, but there's plenty of space for flow. Lots of crevasses for fish to hide and water to flow. 👍

[@sheemkhaa9933]

Hey man great video next time just get bio spiro to cycle the tank faster or better yet go to your local store grab a bottle of ice tea than stand over top of the tank and piss in it. That's old school bro I've never done that but have use bio spiro to cycle my reef. Sea hares be caution as they will die without hair for food it's all they eat If they die get them out asap

[@ReeferGil]

LOL, heard of the pee, but not the tea bag. I like the added flare. Bio Spira works great too, my LFS carry the Dr Tims, so went with that out of convenience and reputation. Pulled out all but one Sea Hare today as the algae is lightening up, hopefully a good sign.

[@robertvega2114]

I would love to purchase your mud tray that you had for your trigger system please message me if you have the opportunity.

[@ReeferGil]

Yes we can work something out, email me at [e-mail]

[@MASSAquariums]

Damn. How the hell was I not subscribed to you. My bad

[@ReeferGil]

MASS Aquariums Lol, all good. So many channels nowadays. Thanks Mass
