Nothing to see here.....

Hey everyone, been thrown a few curve balls this week so haven't had the time to do the tank interviews and product reviews I was hoping to cover....
But hey, here is some footage of my tank as it sits today, post iodine spike, starting to regain some of the colour and growth it had before.
Enjoy!

I wish I could get my sand bed to stay as clean as yours! This was such a relaxing and peaceful video, thank you

[@ParkersReef]

Thanks for watching!

[@gomisreef]

Wouldn't be my choice of music. But I handed out a very rare like on a video because it's just bloody gorgeous. Serious tank envy here from someone with a shared dream. Great tank. Great channel. Great vid

[@ParkersReef]

Glad you like it, thanks so much for taking the time to watch, like and even comment - really appreciate it :)

[@rw5510]

I really love your videos, Sam. You are a true inspiration.

[@ParkersReef]

[@moereefer]

Damnnnnnnnnnnn.looking hot as fire Sam keep the good work

[@ParkersReef]

Cheers mate!

[@simmo56able]

Great video Sam, I cant believe the growth you have gotten so quickly, are you experiencing any coral warfare yet? A wonderful range of mixed coral and some of your fish are just awesome. So happy to see the Blonde Naso doing so well for you. And the big school of chromis are a wonderful addition. Congrats man, just beautiful

[@ParkersReef]

Thanks John. Have had a little warfare, not too much though. Most are growing into each other ok at this point in time :)

[@Syed5y]

Wow this this the video we have been waiting for....Sam we need to be dosed this regularly !

[@ParkersReef]

ah thanks mate, it was a bit of a "filler" video to be honest, but if people enjoy it - I can def do it more often!

[@Syed5y]

@@ParkersReef really liked the atlantic blue tang! But what is the blue and yellow angel called?

[@ParkersReef]

blue and yellow angel? Hmmm I have a bellus angel and a tigerpyge angel in the tank? One is blue and white and the other is yellow and orange :P

[@Elev8minh]

So inspiring Sam well done 👍🏻 hope my tank can look half as good as yours working on the plumbing now lol

[@ParkersReef]

Slow and steady mate, Reef keeping is a marathon!

[@nicholasgrohn1082]

[@ParkersReef]

Thanks again!

[@richwright2280]

I think your tank is overstocked with cuc 😉 😉 looking great ! Many amazing fish and coral

[@ParkersReef]

Haha yeah a few shells I need to take out!

[@barnsey9170]

Killing it Sam! Making me tempted to get back into the hobby…. The Mrs isn’t going to like this hahaha

[@ParkersReef]

Hahaha come on, she’ll enjoy it this time 😬😅

[@brymac1227]

Looking great! Seems like there’s snails in every corner of the tank lol

[@ParkersReef]

Hahah yeah there’s a few 😅

[@one-armed-reefer5184]

[@ParkersReef]

[@N0r53f1r3]

So beautiful Sam. Do you have a fish list that you’re keeping up to date? Would love to know what you’ve got in there at present.

[@ParkersReef]

It's not something I've consciously kept, but here goes: Atlantic Blue Blonde Naso Foxface Gem Tang Purple Tang Mustard Tang White tail kole 5 Lined Hog Pair of flame hawk Pair of Bangaii Pair of scooter blenny School of Chromis School of Bi Colour Anthias Golden Blenny Couple long fin fairy wrasse Cleaner Wrasse Pair of Picasso Clowns I think that is everything?

[@ParkersReef]

Got a couple more I forgot: Tigerpyge Bellus Angel Royal Gramma Captive bred orchid dotty backs Firefish I think that is all :D

[@billthefather]

Absolutely beautiful Sam! Do you have any regrets with your Atlantic Blue tang? I think the are a stunning fish but I hear they are mean.

[@ParkersReef]

Yeah he is mean, I am concerned about him. But see how we go :)

[@chrish6659]

Just amazing, what a video! What program do you run your eco tech MP’s on? Seems to be great variable flow without getting carried away; and it absolutely works! Maybe a video about the flow? :-)

[@ParkersReef]

Just short pulse with some anti sync, always works well for me :)

[@akvasvet]

👍👍👍 👍👍👍

[@ParkersReef]

Thanks mate!

[@mickdesousa617]

Stunning 😍 🇬🇧 give me a foxface over a yellow tang anyday 😊

[@ParkersReef]

Agreed!!

[@briankavanagh7191]

@@ParkersReef Had both and was scared to put my hand in the tank with the fox, it kept attacking my hand, so took it out and gave it to the LFS, on the other hand my Y/T has no scalpels at the back and comes up to be feed. Love the shoaling of the Chromis never ending movement brilliant.

[@ParkersReef]

Yeah I’ve been lucky with my fox face, he comes up for a Pat when feeding :)

Great video mate. Tank is looking fantastic love the choice of music to! How do you rate the Phillips now you have had them for a fair while?

[@ParkersReef]

Cheers mate! Yeah loving the Philips. Perfect choice of light for this tank.

[@vadius55]

Твой канал вызывает огромный позитив 😁, с любовью из России дружище 👍

[@ParkersReef]

Спасибо, сэр, очень признателен!

[@antoniofaustino2548]

Amazing! Great looking tank! Good to see your fish getting along with each other, swimming so peaceful. Just a quick question, with your dosing of live phytoplankton do you dose it straight out of the fridge or do you leave it get to room or aquarium temperature? Thanks for the video Sam.

[@ParkersReef]

I normally dose straight from the fridge, but I can’t say if that is the best way or not - just what I do :)

[@marcusfessler7082]

How does one acquire that many Trochus snails? Impossible to even get one in the states, so jealous. My guess is you have had good luck breeding? Mine did breed and I had babies....but my 6 line wrasse ate them all. Beautiful tank, btw

[@ParkersReef]

Thanks! They’re commonly available here in australia, but they have been breeding in this tank a lot too :)

[@bopeep7806]

Nice !!

[@ParkersReef]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@gerd2543]

Tank is looking beautiful mate. You've inspired me to add some chromis to my tank. How many do you have and do you notice much aggression between them?

[@ParkersReef]

I’ve got 12. I find they have a witching hour every night where they’ll chase anything and everything but other than that they keep to themselves :)

[@junhualing7696]

Hi Sam, can you recommend a aquarium safe PVC glue that you used?

[@ParkersReef]

any normal PVC glue will be fine. Just give it time to cure before adding to the tank

[@rayrclark]

Beautius

[@ParkersReef]

Thanks mate

[@davelenjan19]

next vid, close up shot of your sps “macro” lens.😉

[@ParkersReef]

That I can do :)

[@waynepickpro481]

How old is your Atlantic blue tang?

[@ParkersReef]

He’s been in my system about 5 months, but came from an established system :)

[@andysze3950]

What happened to the other anthias?(Thought there was more in previous tank updates) I am having problems with anthias dropping suddenly so I am curious with your experience😓

[@ParkersReef]

yeah I have lost a few sadly :(
