[@1977logan]

Billy Pipes I’m doing well, keep the videos coming those tanks are phenomenal!

[@brokereefman45]

Looking so good Billy! I ended up ordering a UV sterilizer so going to give it a try, never used one before. Your water is crystal clear!

[@BillyPipes]

Thanks man, this is my first time using a uv and ill always use one now for sure 👍

[@YouLoveRyanSeacrest]

Great looking tank, hope all is well my dude.

[@BillyPipes]

[@racingreefer]

[@BillyPipes]

[@careysoutherland8291]

hope your doing good man. would love to see a update on the tanks.

[@jasmineb.3514]

How cool! The yellow fish followed you around the tank. What kind of fish it that?

[@BillyPipes]

Yellow mimic tang

[@bonnieandrade9447]

Stunning colors & all your corals look SUPER healthy! Fantastic overview of your awesome tanks Billy. Love your lil skunk fish. Not a lot of folks have them. Can you give me any tips on keeping a healthy frogspawn? I have the same brown & white one as yours but it just doesn't really thrive. Some days it looks bushy & full & some days not. My 2 torch corals are consistently growing new heads but not the frogspawn which I've had for a year & a half.

[@BillyPipes]

My frogspawn seem to like lower light and medium flow👍

[@fishguyny2505]

the people need a new vid! looking forward to seeing your progress

[@BillyPipes]

Thanks man, getting through this pandemic then ill be back👍

[@MHoran86]

Hope all is well, always enjoyed watching your videos. Needed some motivation, I'm about to upgrade 2 tanks, so thought I'd go back and watch some oldies and enjoy the view.

[@BillyPipes]

Thanks, I doin well👍👍👍

[@Henolonil]

Billy Pipes Great scape. How did you stack those arches? 4 on the left and 6 on the right. What are your tank dimensions? Really want to do something similar to 125 gallon. Did you brake some of the arches?

[@Henolonil]

Do you have pictures of it?

[@BillyPipes]

Thanks, and yup..4 on left 6 on right. I didnt break any. Its a standatd 75. I used super glue gel and instset. I did a video on the rock in my nano tank that might help👍

[@Henolonil]

Billy Pipes thanks

[@dekon70]

Tank is looking great Billy. Hope everything is OK since you have not uploaded a video in a month.

[@billshreeveable]

I love this reef and all your updates, gives me hope.

[@BillyPipes]

Thank you so much bill

[@reefbliss2344]

Billy, What camera do you use and what filter if any? Im using a 15k filter but wondering if there is something better. Keep it up!

[@BillyPipes]

I used my galaxy s10 phone. I did a video on the orphek lens kit which I think is the best available

[@Reefkpr1]

Great video. Best both tanks have ever looked. Amazing!!!!!!!

[@BillyPipes]

Thanks man, im starting to understand this hobby finally lol

[@kennymac8341]

Hi Billy, tank is looking amazing, keep up the good work, love the gold hammers not common in the UK for a decent price, stay safe 👍

[@BillyPipes]

Thanks Kenny. You stay safe too👍👍

[@anthillpestcontrol9985]

mate love the tank and love how you have just basic set up on that tank and love thuos waterbox tanks

[@BillyPipes]

Thanks Jason, i like to keep everything as simple as possible 👍

[@borinvlogs]

this looks stunning. how do you set up the wavemakers to get this moving effect?

[@BillyPipes]

On which tank?

[@chrisshuman2930]

Do you have your goni mounted to your rocks? I have mine on the sand bed and they seem to do fine. You have an amazing tank! Hope all is well.

[@BillyPipes]

I had them down low as well

[@neilsreefaquarium9530]

[@awalmancing1270]

Wow, very nice and beautiful, ok friends, nice to meet you 🙏 here to listen

[@BillyPipes]

Thank you

[@garrettkeller3681]

What sand did you use in both your tanks? I like the look of the grain size.

[@BillyPipes]

Caibsea seafloor. Not the caribsea seafloor special grade👍

[@okelliesfarm]

Hay Billy what brand do you use to drip ,I'm using kalwaser and not having good luck with it could you help .my corals are not likening the kalkwaser. Thanks Odile

[@BillyPipes]

I use the BRS brand 2 part👍

[@justinwwwalin]

Are you still using vibrant a year later ?

[@BillyPipes]

Been using it weekly for over 3 yrs👍

[@joeymerrell8585]

[@justinhua82]

Miss following this tank....

[@screwydrewy7027]

What are the actual dimensions of your tank is it a standard 75 and what type of tank is it I guess I missed an earlier video it’s very nice setup. I’m about to jump back into reefing but not sure what size tank I want I have limited space

[@BillyPipes]

Its a standard 75👍

[@screwydrewy7027]

Sorry I posted that a while back and isn’t ever see anything pop up now I see it doh

[@screwydrewy7027]

Your tank is beautiful what are the dimensions of this tank and what kind of overflow do you have is it a custom tank. Reason i ask is I’m about to come back to the hobby after a 5 year Hiadus and i here so many people saying 18” tanks don’t work but then i see yours and I’m like yes they can work I’m just not sure on your dimensions though. Also please share what king of overflow and tank thanks awesome tank.

[@BillyPipes]

Thank you, and its a standard 75 gallon tank. I used a acrylic overflow box i got off ebay for $25👍👍

[@screwydrewy7027]

Billy Pipes very awesome to see people not using all the best of the best crazy expensive equipment and stuff and being so successful

[@devindoeseverything1764]

Can’t wait for an Update! I Hope everything’s going well.

[@BillyPipes]

👍👍

[@brayanmatamoros4231]

New to the channel your tanks are amazing! Thanks for the video series on the nano. Makes me want to start in the hobby with a waterbox 20.

[@BillyPipes]

Thank you very much and I really like the waterbox 20👍

[@bownero]

Awesome looking tanks!! You are doing a fantastic job on them! Can't wait to get my Waterbox AIO 40.2 up and running! New to this hobby.

[@BillyPipes]

Thank you, and i haven't seen the waterbox 40 yet but i bet it looks awesome 👍

[@bownero]

It's an awesome aquarium for sure! They make a well built tank! Love the design of the stand also! Glad I came across Waterbox aquariums!

[@abh3960]

how much blue intensity does the blues put out...my ocean revives 35 is 100 in intensity...i have blues at 30...1 which is 17 on whites...

[@BillyPipes]

Im not running ocean revives so im not sure

[@smokymtreefer8480]

i remember the day your last tank busted. it was a sad day.. to see you come back with this success is amazing im happy for u bro.. would you be willing to sell daves nano tank nems?

[@BillyPipes]

That was a crazy day. I damn near quit. The dnt nems are now at reefco. Id hit them up. I know hes selling them as they reproduce 👍

[@smokymtreefer8480]

Billy Pipes I’ll have to check it out. Thanks. And don’t give you you have one of the best looking tanks around

[@taivo1172]

How much did you spend on the amaze ball Billy?

[@BillyPipes]

I think it was $200

[@tonycloseukreef3799]

Spectacular looking tanks can't wait to see how the GSP turns out and by the way the video not long enough

[@robertd1892]

Hi Billy was looking for your Facebook page to see if maybe I could get your AI Prime presets on your 20 gallon water box.

[@BillyPipes]

I dont have Facebook

[@mr.reefing7720]

How high are you lights off the water surface and what intensity are they set at.

[@BillyPipes]

They are 10" off the water at 50% intensity

[@robertmanchester8611]

Your tank is definitely on point, what is you par at where your sps is at? And are you running the sps ab+ template?

[@BillyPipes]

Top of the rocks is about 170-190 par. 100% on uv, violet, RB, blue. 3% red, green, and 10% on both whites. 👍

[@leosaraiv]

Both tanks are looking amazing! I loved that tiny gony and the golden torches. Can share which lenses are you using? I'm having problems taking pictures of my tank. Thx!!

[@BillyPipes]

Thank you. Im using the new orphek lense👍 but for this video its my diy lense from my glasses

[@duncantse]

Hey awesome tank! Just wondering whats your settings for your radions?

[@BillyPipes]

50% intensity. All uv and blues at 100%. Red, green, at 5%. All whites at 10%👍

[@JTReef]

Awesome looking tank! Where did that Roswell landing shroom come from? Very nice. And that Amazeballs Goni, is well, amazing. Been wanting to pick one up, but dang, 400-700 a frag!!

[@BillyPipes]

Got the mushroom almost 4 years ago. It was solid orange for years until a bout a year ago. Then it turned crazy colors and grew bounce bubbles 👍👍

[@JTReef]

Okay, thanks for letting me know.

[@-bassface9953]

Hey Billy, haven't seen you around in a long time. You doing alright still? Would love a check in on the tank after 9 months or so!

[@BillyPipes]

Hey, im doin pretty great thanks for asking. But I dont have the tanks anymore

[@BillyPipes]

Want to focus 100% on my family

[@Random.Thoughts21]

Are you still using Seachem Matrix in the sump? Im thinking to use it. You made a video on that so I wanted to see how it worked out in the long run.

[@BillyPipes]

Im not using it anymore. It worked well but i think the marinepure spheres are better for a saltwater aquarium 👍

[@Random.Thoughts21]

@@BillyPipes but lot of threads talk about how the leach aluminium or other metals so thats why i was considering media other than these bricks and spheres

[@tazccl]

Great video love the water box. I have the same one I have two clown fish in it how many fish are you going to put in yours?

[@BillyPipes]

Ill end up having 4 clowns total 👍👍

[@tazccl]

That sounds good I was thinking about adding some more clowns

[@knels5288]

Hope all is well with you, Billy. Truly miss your videos

[@BillyPipes]

Thank you

[@NEMO20G]

Hey Billy I love this reef! Quick one, what are you feeding the fish and what do you feed the corals and how often?

[@BillyPipes]

Thank you! .y fish get 1-2 cubes of frozen brine and mysis a day. No flakes or pellets. And i dont feed to coral at all anymore👍

[@NEMO20G]

@@BillyPipes thank you very much for your reply! That's awesome mate, I'm guessing you don't rinse it because then the supernatant goes to the coral as food?😁

[@markbudreau1410]

Hey Billy, where have you been? Hope all is well.

[@BillyPipes]

Im well thank you 👍

[@teddy00024]

Your aquascape is amazing! You mind sharing how many pounds and types of Life Rock you have?

[@BillyPipes]

Thank you, in the 75 i used 10 caribsea arches. Im not sure how much each one weighs

[@peterhowells8509]

Hi Billy on what setting are you running the RW8

[@BillyPipes]

The pulse mode. Long pulses

[@ArrickthaRed]

Great video. Both tanks look great. The nano reminds me of my anemone tank. I tried to do something similar and it worked for awhile but the nems beat back the GSP. They got so big and shaded all of it to the point where it does not open much. Tears ago I had the old green bubble tips. But I lost them. Now they are hard to find cuz there is no interest in the basic ones. When I had them the mix of nems looked awesome.

[@BillyPipes]

Thanks, and yeah im hoping the gsp grows a lot before the nems take over

[@steveparker7763]

Awesome! So, for the nano, ballpark of investment? I'm considering it.

[@BillyPipes]

Id estimate around $800-1000

[@steveparker7763]

Thx.... I had a 180g..... before I knew it.... 6k! Wheew.... can't do that again.

[@bushcraftsurvivaljackonly7319]
