Oldest Reef Tank in New Orleans! | 220 Gallon tank

Today, we visit Charles Cheneau, a hobbyist with a 220-gallon tank that is 10 years old! Charles is a man who makes modifications and has made this tank stand the test of time. With a mixed reef that has an SPS dominance, Charles has a great tank that still has something for all kinds of reef lovers. His dedication and meticulous care have allowed his tank to flourish for a decade. Do you think his tank has another decade, or is it time for an upgrade soon?

SUPER nice tank! Cool to see a tank that's been maintained that long, with such success. Happy coral makes for a happy aquarist!

[@WorldWideCorals]

It is a labor of love

[@erikallen81]

Super nice tank. Consistency and understanding what YOUR tank wants and needs. Super important... Also, i like that when he said he changes the UV bulb when it goes out... Tounges were bit. 😅

[@WorldWideCorals]

Consistency is the biggest key! Each system is different so its that much more important to know what the tank needs 😁

[@scottallan6770]

[@WorldWideCorals]

Charles had some really cool stuff!!

[@revZ098]

That crooked hood is giving me OCD 😅😂

[@WorldWideCorals]

😅😅

[@craiggeauxtreaux5862]

It’s a 10 year old tank man. It’s seen a lot. Give him a break. It’s epic to have a tank in Louisiana that long with the crazy weather we experience. Most tanks around these parts get knocked out by hurricanes eventually. Ask me how I know! It’s the main reason that I run only sub 10 gallons. It’s absolutely heartbreaking to lose 10 thousand plus dollars in your tank that you’ve nurtured for years. I can’t do it. During hurricane Laura I lost an entire cad lights 45g shallow and an entire collection of dart frogs along with a collection of some rare rainforest plants. Along with my home.

[@AA-zv6yo]

Humidity its high....

[@A.R.C.77]

😃🤘

[@WorldWideCorals]

Lets goooo!! 🤘🤘

[@megability]

Nice tank 👍🏼 but 0.17 phosphates seriously?

[@WorldWideCorals]

There are some that can keep numbers a bit higher, Just have to keep an eye on everything

[@user-tk7gf4by9e]

Sorry man, you lost me on this one. You need to vet the tanks a bit better.

[@WorldWideCorals]

We'd have to disagree with you on this one, but thank you for watching!!!!

[@user-tk7gf4by9e]

@@WorldWideCorals it's just a bit hard to understand what is being discussed. The amount of contradictions was unbelievable. You asked what they dose and they said nothing and then went on to say he doses kalk and other stuff to maintain levels but then he said he doesn't dose anything lol. I meant vet the people you are speaking to

[@WorldWideCorals]

@@user-tk7gf4by9e It sounds like more of a miscommunication to me. He said that he does not dose anything(meaning using a doser), but said in the same sentence that he uses a calcium reactor and kalk stirrer. He was pretty transparent on the fact that he uses a calcium reactor and kalk. I think he did a great job. It's not always the easiest thing talking on camera knowing that possibly tens of thousands of people will be watching you.
