Great video as always Tom every tank you feature is beautiful

[@TOMReefer]

Thanks OU812! 👍🏻😊

[@Bruno_Amaro]

Hi Tom! All your corals are in great shape 🤗 Have a nice week

[@TOMReefer]

Thanks Bruno! Thanks for watching! 😊👍🏻 you as well

[@breinert]

Great video! Question - you mentioned that your Australian leather was stretching to the light. I have a green toadstool that is really stretching - same situation? Give it more light?

[@TOMReefer]

You can if it’s really stretching. However you don’t want to move it if it’s attached. Give it time first. It may reach its desired light, then the top will expand. 👍🏻😊

[@xCaspow]

Tanks looking clean! 🔥

[@TOMReefer]

Thanks X! 😊

[@rhombifer566]

Looks great 👍🏻 as normal

[@TOMReefer]

Thanks, Rhombifer!

[@xXCALLUMXx02]

HI tom, i was wondering what setting are you using on this tank, i have the AI prime 16HD as well, but i have fluval sea evo 52l, thanks (your corals look like they are doing amazing)

[@TOMReefer]

Hi Callum. This is an Ai prime Sol. I run it at 50% CW and 45% BL and Royal blue. Only 3 colors on the Sol.

[@SheepLock]

Tom, your AI prime on the 10 gal, the setting is at what power 0-100%?

[@TOMReefer]

Ry and blue are 45% and CL is 55%

[@marcweiner2899]

What wave maker/pump do you use for nano tanks (

[@TOMReefer]

Under 10, just a return pump that will give you a nice flow. Anything else might be too much.👍🏻

[@unwired]

How often do you clean the glass?

[@TOMReefer]

When ever it gets coated with algae. Every 2-3 days 😊

[@tonycloseukreef3799]

Nice 🔥

[@TOMReefer]

Thanks Tony!

[@PedroIsidoro1]

Great video! Btw, any chance you can share you ai prime schedule for that tank? I have a 14.5g cube tank but my bubble tip went brown and lost the fluorescence it had from when I brought it. And i'm wondering if its too much light or too little light... Thanks in advance!

[@TOMReefer]

Hi Pedro, 50% Cool White 45% blue and Royal. Make sure you are feeding your anemone. 2-3 days weekly until they gain color. It’s probably not the light.👍🏻

[@PedroIsidoro1]

@@TOMReefer Thank you!

[@cookiescards4937]

What’s up Tom should I have kalkwasser in my ato and dose all for reef at the same time or will it overdose calcium or other elements, I think I’m just gonna just go to basic risk water and dose all for reef, thanks!!

[@TOMReefer]

I would use one or the other, not both👍🏻😊

[@christopherbraxton7289]

[@Botzz28]

All of a sudden my 7 gallon nano isn’t going well. All my corals are closed and shriveled up. All my tests are pretty much within range. This is the tough part about the hobby. Maybe a big water change to reset everything?

[@TOMReefer]

Not to big. 50%

[@scottkaiser7685]

If you keep a 5 gallon reef tank without fish Would you still feed the tank

[@TOMReefer]

Great question Scott! If you have live rock, and corals, that can feed the tank. You could actually feed a small amount without fish.😊one fish would work too. 👍🏻

[@hairiffinhasan2016]

Hi Tom! Can u share your ai prime preset for this tank?

[@TOMReefer]

Hi Hair, sure! It’s a prime Sol 3 colors. CW 50% BL 35% RY 35% 😊👍🏻

[@hairiffinhasan2016]

@TOMReefer thinks tom! Really appreciate 🙏... I have 3 gallon reef bowl use ai prime 16hd..

[@Coral-reef.]

Hey can i grow sps with 2 ai prime 16 hd in a 75 gallon standard aqueon tank ?

[@TOMReefer]

Probably not on the outside edges of the tank. Possibly directly under the lights

[@Coral-reef.]

@@TOMReefer ok that makes sense. How about lps corals ? Will they grow on the sandbed of the tank with the ai prime 16 ?

[@TOMReefer]

@Coral-reef. LPS don’t need a lot of light, so they will do fine on the bottom 👍🏻

[@JerfryOlivares]

Hi tom, i did my water test everything is good, do you recommend do water change ?

[@TOMReefer]

What is this in reference to Jeff? 😊

[@JerfryOlivares]

@@TOMReefer well i do water changers everything sunday but all parameters are good, i was thinking 🤔 if i do water change maybe affects the nutrients in the water, or change 5% of the water in the tank

[@TOMReefer]

If you’re doing weekly water changes, then 5% could work and not decrease your nutrients to low, but it will keep your trace elements up. 👍🏻. If you want to experiment, try 10% every other week for a few months.

[@JerfryOlivares]

@@TOMReefer thank u tom👍 i will try it, u mean do 10% of water change every weeks?

[@TOMReefer]

Every 2 weeks

[@jibe4781]

Hi Tom. Sarcophyton could cause some time cloud water. Nice video

[@TOMReefer]

Oh! I did not know that? I will research 👍🏻😊

@@TOMReefer yes. I was a cloudy water one time with his change of layer. A kind of slime got out it and mix with the pump.

@@TOMReefer really great! I'm new at your channel, did you filmed it? Here in Germany you rarely see indoor overflow boxes and mostly technical pools. And when, they are very expensive 😭

tom are you all done or justoff for now? johnny

[@TOMReefer]

Hey Johnny, I’m not sure John. I’m definitely experiencing burnout. But I’m still here to answer questions and comments. Hope all is well, happy to see you have your own account finally😃

[@jeremy87turbo87]

It's your pump needs either cleaned or it's getting too weak and it can't pump enough water out of the box. It can intake as much as it can Pump... You definitely should never have cut it. Change the pump or clean the pump.

[@TOMReefer]

I’ve cleaned it and have another on order. What you say makes sense
