Thank you for filming this in landscape! Much better than some of your older videos, lol

The Halloween Hermit... Start looking for replacement shells now, so there are some available slightly bigger for it. They will only use cone snail shells. They like the flatter opening, since they're flatter than other hermits. I found the shells a bit of a pain to find, in the right sizes. There's tons available that are huge. The reason I say this is because the Halloween Hermit can be in a sea of new shells, and unless there's a cone snail type shell... it will die in it's old shell. Talk about picky!!! Other hermits will use an old shoe, if it's the right size. 😆

Hello. I'm enjoying the Refer Expired video I also run a Goniopora fish tank, so I would really appreciate it if you could let me know what is the most important part I'm using a translator, so please understand the mistranslation Some say manganese is important, others say keep P04 below 0.03, especially if you let me know the ingredients of the water tank and the food you use The number of trillions I have 190L of water po4 : 0.12 po3 : 10~15 aik : 9.2 mg : 1280 ca : 420 two tangs Two crowns One Less I'm raising about 30 chunks of Konopora I didn't measure the rest, but I don't use a sock filter either Please give me some advice

@dana-dc9xs Hi, thank you for your support and kind words. I will try and explain what I'm doing for my main corals, gonipora and alveopora, to do well. My parameters are as follows- Phosphate- 0.03ppm Nitrates- 5ppm Alkalinity - 8.9ppm Calcium- 380ppm Magnesium - 1350ppm Salintiy 1.025ppm Temperature - 78.8f Flow random low to medium Lighting not tested par 50% max on Blues and 25% whites 10hrs ramping only 5 hours at 50% on the AI blades. All gonipora on sand bed alveopora are much easier to keep and grow quicker. Feeding - Red sea AB plus once a week target feeding flow off 15 minutes they love it. I've tried in the past manganese, but I'm not sure if it helped as I need to send off regular ICP tests to check levels. I would say it's not a bad thing to add a little weekly, but it's better to do water changes instead. I think low light low flow and dirty water with levels of nitrates around 5-10ppm and phosphates under 0.05ppm. I hope that helps.
