[@fragstoriches4431]

Beautiful corals! Your tank is really coming together! Keep it up! & Sorry for your loss 😭

[@BlueReefTank]

Thank you! 😊 I love working on this tank a lot Bobby didn't stay long with me unfortunately 😔 RIP Bobby

[@lorenzospina3174]

I love soft and lps corals 😍.

[@BlueReefTank]

[@jordancrocker939]

the SPS bug is right around the corner. lmaoo, im trapped

[@christineschultz3176]

Bobby had it good I guess he found out that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

[@DadHD]

I lost two fish this week too from. PH crash. Poor Bobby. Keep the content coming great chill vibes.

[@BlueReefTank]

Sorry for your loss 😔 losing fish is one of the worst part of this hobby

[@DadHD]

In my case it was using nopox without a skimmer essentially. It caused a reduction in oxygen, suffocating my fish.

[@brandonbaru5179]

The view is very cool!

[@BlueReefTank]

Thank you! :D

[@mariobenitez6778]

Sorry for your loss. Greetings from Mexico City, extremely cool vids.

[@BlueReefTank]

Thanks 🙂 Hello from Australia! Glad that you enjoyed the content 😁

[@youronlycow]

love the cinematography. well done. Could you show your chiller setup for the tank?

[@BlueReefTank]

Glad that you enjoyed it 😁 I actually don't use a chiller for my tank. I just keep my room temperature stable

[@borinvlogs]

Anyone reading this comment may have a great time and successful reef tank. 😊

[@BlueReefTank]

You're such a kind soul 😊

[@semisuccessfulreefer220]

Very nice!

[@BlueReefTank]

Thanks 😁

[@paulshockley8632]

Sorry to hear about the green clown goby! The same thing happened to mine last year in November! They can slip through a small tiny opening 🙁

[@BlueReefTank]

Thanks man! It sucks to lose a fish 😢

[@Sugaree43]

Sorry about Bobby.. I found your channel cause I did a search to see how green and yellow gobies get along. I have a yellow a few years ago my favorite fish, he passed. I got a green about 8 months ago super shy.. Anyway I've been wanting another yellow and after seeing your videos I'm going to do it. The tank looks great, new sub 🤙

[@BlueReefTank]

I'm sorry for the loss of your yellow goby. I have been told that clown gobies can go along together as long as they are of different colours. Good luck in finding your next yellow goby - Thanks a lot for the sub!

[@jamesorr1200]

Your tank has easily become the inspiration for mine. I think I've watched all the videos in this series but haven't caught the name of the coral at 5:05. Is it a toadstool?

[@reptiaquatics7379]

How do you like that a360x ? And is it strong enough for sps ?

[@paulshockley8632]

Hey! I just saw your tank on waterbox Instagram 😅 I’m like I know that tank!

[@BlueReefTank]

Hahaha Is it the back led light that catches your attention? 😂

[@paulshockley8632]

@@BlueReefTank lol your back neon light but also your brand new coral! Hey by chance what settings did you set your light too? If you don’t mind doing a short video on that? Or send a picture? Thanks!

[@BlueReefTank]

Hey man - Sorry for the late reply. I haven't forgotten about you! I was trying to make a video of it but it's just too awkward to put in my normal video 😅 I will just put it here for now. I basically run mine the same as what BRS recommended - Purple 100%, Red 20%, Green 0%, Colour 60%, Intensity 30% and I run this for 8 hrs with 30mins ramp up and ramp down. I hope this helps and if you want me to send you a screenshot on IG, I am happy to do that 😊

[@paulshockley8632]

@@BlueReefTank no problem! Thanks for getting back! I’ll give it a try with that setting. Thanks again!

[@BlueReefTank]

No worries Paul! It depends what corals you have I suppose? Mine's mostly LPS and soft corals that don't need much light so I can get away with 25% to 30% intensity 😊 They started to bleach when I turn it up to 50-60%

[@tedblack2163]

Sorry for your loss, you have some very nice looking tanks.

[@BlueReefTank]

Thank you 🙂

[@jeffhenderson5695]

What adhesive are you using to stick these babies right in place? Thanks! Jeff

[@BlueReefTank]

Hi Jeff, the brand that I use is only available locally. You can use any thick gel glue that's specifically designed for saltwater tank 😁

[@RaptureSniping]

Would you be able to give me a quick list of what you dose and how often? My tanks are starting to get their first healthy corals and Id like to make sure they get what they need. Currently I dose coralline algae once a week and phytoplankton twice a week. What else do you recommend? Thanks in advance

[@BlueReefTank]

You can try to dose Sodium Bicarb but before you dose that, be sure to get an alkalinity test kit :) Apart from that, I didn't dose anything else. If you're good with water changes, I'm sure your fish and corals will be happy :D

[@RaptureSniping]

@@BlueReefTank Thank you so much for the reply! If I may, How about your phytoplankton?

[@BlueReefTank]

For the phytoplankton, I usually dose 5 capful 2 times per day :)

[@lorenzospina3174]

Poor Bobby 😢.

[@BlueReefTank]

Rest In Peace 🥲 I'm sure he's in a better place now

[@GoLeafs03]

Your tank made me buy same tank. Lmao. Thanks a lot. 😜

[@BlueReefTank]

No problem mat. Glad that I help you made the decision :)

[@JDMzEj20]

whats your lighting scheduel ? 🙃🙂

[@BlueReefTank]

Hi Jay - My lighting schedule is as per the below: Color: 60% Intensity: 20% Duration: 10hrs Purple: 100% Red: 20% Green: 0% I hope that helps!

[@celblau5336]

I have my WATERBOX 20 GA tank, but not the lamp.

[@BlueReefTank]

Probably a bit overkill but I am just future proofing my tank 😅

[@stevecole2216]

What torch is that?

[@BlueReefTank]

That's Ultra Green Torch I believed.

[@giorgiostarace8980]

La lampada che marca è? Grazie

[@BlueReefTank]

Hi Giorgio, the light is Kessil A360X :)

[@mruuu3230]

Can you tell the names of vitamins you dose

[@BlueReefTank]

It's AF Vitality, AF Amino Mix, AF Energy and AF Build :)
