Jono's Jaw Dropping 5ft Cade - Australia's Best 5ft Reef???

[@subhra_s_das]

Stunning, colourful and thriving , having all those corals from hard to soft and keeping the flow right is not that easy. Thanks for sharing

[@ParkersReef]

It’s an absolute beauty

[@zachary_smith1]

What a great tank. Colors are popping. Awesome acro like cherry bomb and strawberry shortcake and really awesome hammers. That rose one and the multi colored one.

[@ParkersReef]

Some pretty sweet stuff in there for sure and they all are popping!!!

[@LisaJones-s6z]

Absolutely outstanding tank, I love it!

[@ParkersReef]

It's a real stunner!

See you then mate!

No words other than spectacular 💯🙌🏻👏🏻👌🏻🔥

[@ParkersReef]

Agreed!!

[@rtaquascapes]

Well done Parker. You captured jonos beast of a reef perfectly. When I reached out to you a few months ago it's because I knew you would nail the video ! Well done mate.

[@ParkersReef]

Thanks mate!

[@yukimura1sanada]

I've just got the most bizarre and funny experience ever 😂 as I'm a french speaker the audio got switched to french ai voice and man that was something else 😆 it's nice of you to think about your worldwide viewers and include this feature even if it's not perfect 😂 I always lurk on your channel, I'm a freshwater shrimp keeper, I crossbreed and select breed caridina shrimps. It's always fascinating to watch saltwater tanks with incredible corals and inverts. One day I'm gonna bite the bullet and make myself a small shrimp reef tank.

[@ParkersReef]

It’s a new feature in KZbin, but I’m glad to hear it is working for you!

[@yukimura1sanada]

@ParkersReef it's cool, far from perfect 😂 but it's great for people who don't have a good enough English level to follow channels in English. Good feature, I hope it brings you an even wider range of francophone viewers and from all around the world. And thanks for your videos, the quality and passion, is really contagious 😂.

[@ParkersReef]

Thank you, appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment on my videos :)

[@yukimura1sanada]

@@ParkersReef you are welcome 😉 as a shrimp hobbyist enthousiast, I love to share my passion and love to see passionate people, which you definitely are. Saltwater tanks are just a treat to watch and especially when they are so well presented in detail by yourself. I hope you also gonna bite the bullet and get yourself a paludarium or some fresh water tank and also reach the darkside 😂 and maybe get some easy shrimps like neocaridina. One day I'm gonna commit and make myself a small reef tank and challenge myself to breed sexy shrimps 😂

I have added two Helfrichs Firefish to my reef tank. I now have all the fish I want. Cannot believe I have a slice of the ocean in my apartment. Puts it all in perspective I think. Your tank looks inspired by friend 💯👍🙂🐠

Amazing tank! I would love to see his light schedule.

[@ParkersReef]

I’ll see if Jono can share his settings :)

[@HeftyReefs]

Lights turn on at 8am then ramp up till 9:30am during this period whites at 100%, blues and violets at 80%, i run this till 3:30pm. From there the whites drop off from 100% to 50% by 5:30pm, then from 7:30pm all lights start to ramp down till lights out at 9:30pm.

[@Ben-un8bu]

Is that 100% schedule or 100% intensity?

[@roybraden2428]

Very nice system. I would be very curious to know what light schedule Jono is using for his blades. I have three (2 grow + 1 glow over my tank) over my tank as my primary lights. I'm loving them.

[@ParkersReef]

Have a scroll through the comments as Jono has answered this a couple times already I’m pretty sure. He sure has the lights dialled in nicely

[@HeftyReefs]

I'll make a yt short on it tonight on my channel, keep an eye out

Sure is mate!!!

[@Ben-un8bu]

Curious to know his lighting schedule he’s running to make that size growth. But he mentioned he had other tanks, did colony’s come out of that into this one?

[@HeftyReefs]

I commented on another comment my schedule if you wanted to find it. My other tank were a 20gal nem tank and a 20 gal frag tank. All the SPS started as frags minus the rogue milli and strawberry shortcake, they were both mini colonies

[@ParkersReef]

You can see the growth in the tank though, would be a heck of a Tetris exercise trying to fit all those corals in there at even half the size they currently are

[@HeftyReefs]

@@ParkersReef yep, even that stag was the size of an index finger. Amazing how quickly and huge it has become

[@cristianpiccinno3241]

Only one word: AMAZING🎉 whats the name of the green coral on the right side of the bottom

[@martinpace1392]

If you mean the big green one on the sand, its gsp - green star polyps

[@ParkersReef]

It’s so nice, crazy long polyp extension on it

[@mattnano]

Would it be possible to get Jono’s lighting schedule on his AI blades?? I’ve got the same lights and would love to copy his schedule as it’s obviously working well!

[@ParkersReef]

Sure is, he’s shared it a couple times in these comments. Have a scan through and you should find them 👍🏻 Def working well!!!

Can you see? They don't use the word frag, they get corals. We are the only ones who have to pay through the nose for tiny fragments of a coral.

[@chappy6817]

@@jesseberg6183incorrect, the vast majority of corals we get in Australia are frags, especially all these named pieces in this tank and they are not cheap sadly.
