MAJOR Changes on The 1,200G Lagoon | Vic's Incredible 9 Month Progress!!

[@damonried1720]

Watching the challenges that Victor deals with while running this tank reminds one just how challenging this hobby is. The bad and the ugly are part of the journey.

[@WorldWideCorals]

That's correct! We hope these videos will help prevent other reefers from making the same mistakes!

[@Dune74]

Great Update! Luv the honesty and tips. I too started from no life in my reef tank and also at the 9 month mark. Can't wait to add some of those Beautiful Corals to my tank!

[@WorldWideCorals]

Thats awesome! You'll love them for sure! Good luck on your reefing journey!

[@acuariomarino5075]

Another great video 👏🏻👏🏻

[@WorldWideCorals]

Thanks a lot!!

[@petestt]

Great tank Vic. What schedule are you running on the Nero 5’s?

[@WorldWideCorals]

Thanks! Feel free to reach out to us at [e-mail] for more info!

[@ziggo420]

I think it's badass that you showcase your mistakes bro and show that even the pros can mess up in this hobby

[@JuryTM]

Could you show a bit more about how you've got the Kalkwasser set up? I've got the same tank and I'm super interested in how you're set up for ATO and Kalk

This reminds me your 92 corner back in 2005

[@hurricaneaquatics]

I really enjoy hearing about the equipment you're using and the issues as well. Which UV did you go with Vic?

[@pellyinbound]

8:00 casper :)

[@b3tafresh766]

Well done

[@WorldWideCorals]

niceeee!!

[@gmdiaz007]

At what time point did you add your sterilizer? Also which would you recommend for an AF Oceanguard 435? I’ve read UV kills the good bacteria for the tank so I’m unsure, BUT I know I want my fish to stay healthy. Tank is currently 4mo old.

[@WorldWideCorals]

It's fine to add it to your tank now, we added it a little too late. Would've saved more fish if we added it earlier on. The bacteria will adjust accordingly and you shouldn't have to worry, especially if your tank is already cycled.

[@AJ-bi6ns]

Love Versa pumps, super capable and QUIET! Unlike some other brands. That said, the tubing does need fairly frequent replacement.

[@WorldWideCorals]

The switch was definitely worth it!! Loving it so far. Thank you for watching!

[@queencityreefs]

Do yall vacuum the "sand/pepples"? If so, how? If not, any concerns over detritus building up?

[@WorldWideCorals]

Detritus does build up easily, we move the substrate around, clouding up the tank, and then we do a water change. Sucking out as much detritus as we can.

[@terenceclark4108]

Haven’t seen my Miami in a long time. I have a big my Miami chalice in my tank. Definitely my favorite. Mine has orange color in it but I like it.

[@WorldWideCorals]

Sweeet!! Are chalices your favorite type of coral?

[@terenceclark4108]

@@WorldWideCorals LPS is definitely my favorite with chalice and acans probably my top 2.

[@quadlawnmowerman]

How was the UV setup wrong? The flow direction is irrelevant on a single input/output, what else could you have done wrong (other than not putting it on the return line).

[@nkprives]

Hehe I see my sticker :)

[@WorldWideCorals]

Wooo! Thanks for the sticker, you rock!!

[@mteske1]

I bought that exact skimmer for my 120

[@WorldWideCorals]

Niceee, how do you like it?

[@ramesis]

What substrate is that?!? Looks amazing

[@WorldWideCorals]

It's crushed coral like what is used in calcium reactors!

[@ramesis]

@@WorldWideCorals thank you!!!! Looks amazing. Will try it on my next tank

[@jcoffmanrc222]

CASPER ON THE PIC AT 8:01

[@WorldWideCorals]

Sweeet!

[@PhilsNanoReeF-qw1ov]

I put a uv on my tank but it heated up the water too much.. water was a steady 82F which isn't horrible, but i couldn't get it down so i took it out..

[@WorldWideCorals]

Yeah unfortunately adding more equipment to the tank does heat it up some more. You can try adding a fan to the tank or more air circulation :) That usually does the job.

[@high_reefing]

Please give us a few good shots from ur arm reef tattoo!! Would love to see it better

[@WorldWideCorals]

great idea!! Do you have any tattoos?

[@thereefinrican]

Tanks looking awesome.

[@WorldWideCorals]

Thank you so much! What's your favorite coral in the tank?

[@HunterFisherman23]

At 8:02 I saw Casper

[@WorldWideCorals]

Sweet! Be sure to message on Instagram next time for the giveaway!

[@avnerbelisha1457]

What is the size of the sand ?

[@WorldWideCorals]

We use crushed coral on that tank. Like calcium reactor media :)

[@avnerbelisha1457]

@@WorldWideCorals Thanks

[@jcoffmanrc222]

ITS REALLY AT 7:59

[@steevareno2002]

What substrate is that? Thx

[@WorldWideCorals]

Crushed coral aka, calcium reactor media! :)

[@Lilbear2352]

@@WorldWideCorals Wouldn't that have an effect on any elements? or is there nothing to worry about

[@bennysoulz1197]

New ai light ??? 😮😮

[@WorldWideCorals]

Yes!! They can be used as supplements or as you see, stand alone!! We love em!

[@Botzz28]

Why are my GMKs constantly melting on me

[@WorldWideCorals]

hmmm, not sure. How old is your tank and what are your parameters?

[@Botzz28]

@@WorldWideCorals my numbers are spot on and everything else in the tank is thriving. Alk 8 nitrate 10 phos 0.04.

[@WorldWideCorals]

@@Botzz28 Hard to say honestly. Sometimes the person/place where you got the coral from plays a role as well. For example, if their tank parameters are very far apart or if the coral has been freshly fragged as well.

[@bryant026]

This video was more marketing for the larger companies in the hobby..
