I've just found your cannel - and I have a new series to watch, wooo. :)

[@BlueReefTank]

Welcome to the channel 😄

[@ayvakacir208]

Beautiful fish! excited to see this tank grow :)

[@BlueReefTank]

😁👍 I am excited for this tank too!

[@xXFUZZYMONK]

That build up in the back chamber will coke from water level being too high. I noticed the same and reduced mine a little bit until I could see the water flowing in the 2nd chamber. Hope this helps

[@BlueReefTank]

Thanks Sammy 😁 I will definitely try that

[@youngjoke81]

Would like to see a video on exactly how high to run your water level in one of these tanks!

[@RaptureSniping]

My gramma made it into the filter section of my tank last week. I still have no clue how how he managed it. The tank is an aquatop 24g all in one. I am thinking he made a jump for it but still, it was beyond surprising to see him back there.

[@BlueReefTank]

Luckily you found him! Sometimes when they got scared, they can bolt out of the tank. I always try to keep the lids on all the time haha

[@kevinjavellana8051]

I have my Royal Gramma too, my fav fella in my tank

[@BlueReefTank]

They are so cool! Can't wait to be able to see him in the Waterbox Cube 20

[@andrewaxel]

I haven’t seen mine ever since I introduced him earlier today, swam straight into a crack in the rockwork

[@BlueReefTank]

Yeah they are very shy and love to hide. Mine hides all day long and only comes out for food 😐

[@andrewaxel]

@@BlueReefTank Haha I hear you, i’ve been looking for one for over 6 months and when I finally saw one at my lfs I had to get him. Can’t wait to see him grow with my tank

[@bizzfo]

Water level should be an inch below the glass. If chamber 1 or 2 gets clogged and the return chamber dumps all its water into your display then it won’t go over.

[@BlueReefTank]

I agree! but I love the looks of it though when the water level is high. Just gotta keep an eye on the back chambers and make sure they don't get clogged up I guess 😅

[@bizzfo]

Also at an inch maybe a little bit less than an inch all the water gurgling sounds should go away.

[@ACMDevils]

00:47 remember the fish guard, it has been reported to mince anemones and fishes that get sucked from the back

[@BlueReefTank]

Thanks for the reminder 😅 I am definitely going to put the fish guard once I put the fish in there. It's a pretty big hole for my clown goby

[@ACMDevils]

@@BlueReefTank :D

[@psychoseth7928]

Another happy Ozzie reefer

[@BlueReefTank]

😁😁😁

[@jacksonsparrow8865]

Can you have two clown fish and a royal gramma in a 16 gallon ? Will they get along fine?

[@Peterrdee]

She’s gorgeous 😍😍😍

[@SindangRaja]

You Are Not Using A Protein Skimmer, How Do You Know Water Parameters, Did You Test It? Or You Only Rely On The Water Change Method For Stable Parameters?

[@lorenzospina3174]

I love Gramma loreto 😍. I'm a new sub from Italy 😉. Name: Jerry

[@BlueReefTank]

Thank you so much for subscribing 😁

[@ceedagee1276]

How is your RG doing in the 20 gallon? I want one of these so bad, but Ive heard conflicting opinions on tank size.

[@BlueReefTank]

It is doing well! It mainly just stayed in its hidey holes. I don't think they need a big tank 😅

[@techtrader9858]

Hey, what’s the rock you used called?

[@BlueReefTank]

Hi mate - It's called the Marco rock :)

[@paulshockley8632]

Hello! Just subscribed! I’m getting my Nero 3 soon and replacing my hydor pump. Would you think it’s a better idea to put the wave pump on the back of the tank if it’s too powerful? I currently have 2 clownfish and a royal gramma. Plan on getting a clown goby down the road as my last fish.

[@BlueReefTank]

Thanks for subscribing! 😁 You can put it at the back too. I would set it at the location where the corals are the most happy (if you're keeping corals). If it's fish only, I wouldn't worry too much. The fish can figure out where to go if they want to getting blasted by the pump 😄

[@paulshockley8632]

@@BlueReefTank hello, yes I have some corals. It’s my first saltwater tank! Keeping it simple with softies and lps. Do you think 5 fish is too much for a 20 gallon? I currently have 3 but adding a clown goby isn’t much bio load. I was also considering a cardinal fish but that would be pushing it! Also how long have you had the toadstool coral? I didn’t get one because it gets big. Great videos!

[@BlueReefTank]

That's awesome! Once you get into saltwater hobby, it's hard to switch back to freshwater haha. That should be fine as long as you don't add too many at once. I think you will get away with adding the cardinal. At the moment I have 7 fish in my Nuvo 16 but I'm going to move 2 of them in the Waterbox once it's cycled. I bought my toadstool probably 1-2months ago. They don't grow that fast in my tank but you can always frag it once it gets too big. 🙂

[@paulshockley8632]

@@BlueReefTank yep, I was into freshwater for 20 years! Now I’m loving saltwater...wished I went with a bigger tank lol. But I do love the waterbox cube 20. What fish do you have in your nuvo 16? I saw a clown goby, 2 clowns, and 1 cardinal. What are you fish are you planning to have in your cube 20?

[@BlueReefTank]

Small tank has its own beauty too in my opinion. When you have big tank with lots of fishes it can feel a bit too crowded 😅 I have 2 clowns, 1 cardibal, 1 Clown Goby, 1 blenny, 1 royal gramma and 1 more which I will reveal soon 😁 I am planning to move my gramma and goby to the cube 20. They go along really well

[@rdmpyros1066]

Let the back chamber flow down little bit and should help out alot

[@youronlycow]

Hello. How long did you drip this one for? I’m thinking of getting one :)

[@BlueReefTank]

I usually drip my fish & corals at least 1-1.5hrs. For invertebrates at least 3 hours 😁

[@jordan9503]

why would a tank with no life in it contain amonia and nitrite ?

[@Peterrdee]

Btw they are all born female just like dwarf angels until paired up with a larger one

[@OneToothTwoFish]

But damn you spend that much on a wavemaker? Stay bless

This hobby is getting more and more expensive 🥲💸💸💸
