[@SydneyReefing]

cheers mate!

[@somdreef]

Beautiful tank, my friend!

[@SydneyReefing]

cheers bro! :)

[@slackra3400]

Beautiful tank. My one critism would be you have no algae based filtration. I would never recommend anyone setup a marine tank without some sort of refugium. It's amazing what you can achieve with some chaeto and the right lighting.

[@SydneyReefing]

Cheers mate! Algae based filtration isn’t always needed and quite a lot of large scale coral farms don’t use it either. As mentioned in the video I use the naturally occurring algae as a phosphate sink and it is regularly removed by either me or my fish. I also don’t feed any high phosphate foods. I can understand some people may require it but :)

[@slackra3400]

@SydneyReefing those coral farms are likely using the rapid growth of soft corals to take up nutrients. I just think it's a good idea to have in any setup. Even if I was running a massive fish only tank, I'd have one. Don't get me wrong, your tank is gorgeous, I'd just add a little refugium.

[@EnchantedReefs]

Beautiful reef!

[@SydneyReefing]

cheers mate!

[@WilliamRogers-wm2cl]

Awesome vid mate keep them coming!

[@SydneyReefing]

Cheers mate! will do :)

[@SydneyReefing]

Thank you! :)

[@FrancisGarcia-y7n]

Great job 👏 I wish I could get ocean 🌊 water here in the Sates the trick is loving the hobby if you like fish 🐟 and corals 🪸 you’ll be fine I been running my tank since 2011

[@SydneyReefing]

Cheers mate! It’s such a good hobby hey :)

[@DuzzyDobbin]

Great vid! It’s funny there’s an orange reflection in the tank initially I thought it was a flame angel and I thought "oh cool". Shame they love corals , but it tells me an orange fish would superb in your tank 😜😂🤣 Thanks again for the great vid Regards Duzzy🇦🇺

[@SydneyReefing]

Cheers mate! :) oh I would love a flame angel, however sadly not for the price they are these days :/

[@DuzzyDobbin]

Hopefully with captive bred fish becoming more common they may come a better price. Btw I’ve been in the hobby 35yrs and I’ve never seen a syphon started that way. Thankyou for teaching this old dog a new trick. Regards Duzzy🇦🇺

Clean, crisp. Stealing some tips for my next clean

[@SydneyReefing]

Glad it helped! :)

[@ccalin6592]

I think this is one of the best reef tanks that i have seen in the last time. I want to start an 250L reef tank the next 2 months and you are an inspiration for me... One question! What`s the name of the siphon vacuum?

[@SydneyReefing]

Thanks so much mate! :) I’m glad you like this tank. I don’t don’t think it has a technical name but maybe gravel vac?

[@MrHamburgerler]

Coffee and coral, this is my dude.

[@SydneyReefing]

You know what’s good! 😂

[@acuariomarino5075]

Amazing reef 👏🏻👏🏻

[@SydneyReefing]

thank you!

[@KrayzieRyan]

Love the new content! How often do you clean your glass? It looks super clean with no diatoms. Do you run ULNS?

[@SydneyReefing]

Cheers bro! I spend a lot of time cleaning but also feed heavy and have a lot of snails :)

[@johnnyd614]

Great video. Have you considered using Kalkwasser?

[@SydneyReefing]

I have but everything is so stable I don’t want to risk it 😅

[@GianlucaNania]

HI. I look at your aquarium often it's beautiful. but is there algae in the tank? How do you keep them under control with those tall white LEDs? Thanks you

[@SydneyReefing]

Thanks so much mate! Glad you enjoy it :) I normally run blue light but switch to white for filming :)

[@fujisan5781]

Absolutely beautiful tank. Whats the size of your sump? and your reefmat?

[@SydneyReefing]

Hey mate, i think it is just the medium sized reefmatt :)

Good content keep going man

thank you! :)

[@gospelofrye6881]

How are you finding the Hydras? Mine burned through two sets of lenses in three years. I've switched to X4s purely for the "lifetime guarantee" on the lenses.

[@SydneyReefing]

I really love my hydras and blades. The Uvs in mine have burnt a little bit but that doesn’t really bother me too much. UV does not really add any benefit to the photophysiology of the corals, it just makes them produce more chromoproteins to help them deal with the stress. If I was chasing brightly coloured corals this would be an issue but my tank is headed a different direction:)

[@jaysrealreefuk]

Love this reef tank mate, so nice 🙌 What tank is this? Is it custom? Great video and channel 👍

[@SydneyReefing]

Cheers mate! it is custom :) ill be uploading more videos on it soon!

[@Taladrane]

I do once a week if I remember:)
