Red Sea Reefer 250 Update! New Corals and Lessons Learned!

[@Wenyi108]

Definitely do a video on Blaine's tank! Also I'd love to see a yellow submarine favia and euphyllia in the 250

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Got to get it together 😂 more euphyllia no doubt! Thanks for tuning in and dropping a comment. -Blaine

[@3highlands]

Nice info, great

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Thanks for the comment and tuning in! -Blaine

[@aquamates-sa5452]

Would love to see your personal tank!😊 Some Octospawn or Hologram hammers would look great in the tank 250.

[@TopShelfAquatics]

It's on the idea board! I can see some cool hammers in the 250 for sure! -Blaine

[@bradytrulove4826]

Yes Blaine... lets see a tank tour of your personal tank at home.

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Alright y'all keep asking for it! I gotta get Kevin to hook me up LOL! -Blaine

[@johnjr47]

Yes I want to see your personal tank !!!

[@TopShelfAquatics]

It’s going on the idea board! Glad people want to see that! -Blaine

[@Semper.Reefing]

I had a Dino outbreak in my mature tank. It really went away after adding a rock from my other tank! And dosing a ton of tetra phyto

[@TopShelfAquatics]

These things happen in reefing! The fun never really stops LOL! Thanks for tuning in. -Blaine

[@Semper.Reefing]

@@TopShelfAquatics plenty of twist and turns that make the hobby fun!

[@zacharyarnett6653]

Did you buy that rock arch or make it yourself? Looks incredible

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Was custom made in house by Kevin one of the co-owners of TSA! The Aquascape King! -Blaine

[@devachapman6315]

I would add a meat coral to the right front of the tank. something like a big acantho would balance the scape out.

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Third comment for an Acantho! It just might have to happen… -Blaine

[@AlsFishBarn]

How are you going to keep the zoas in check? I imagine that with so many so close that one will end up taking over.

[@TopShelfAquatics]

The hope is to build out a nice zoa garden, and we chatted about this in our Zoanthid highlight episode on the channel; having similar sized polyps, similar growth rate, and contrasting colors you can have success with it! -Blaine

[@paulrod53]

We want to see all your personal tanks🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Second comment for it! We shall see!!! -Blaine

[@blaineboone6765]

Bang-a-rang alveopora deserves to be in this tank

[@TopShelfAquatics]

This is very true my good friend ! -Blaine

[@fishstix1988]

What's the trick to getting the acans so fluffy? Mine tend to be a little closer to the skeleton, but have been in the tank for over a year in the same spot no change in lighting (around 70ish par)

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Low flow, lower lighting like you have them in, and I think present phosphates and nitrates encourage them to be a little more fluffy as well. Some reefers say feeding helps maintain them being fluffy too! -Blaine

[@clintbaker736]

What are the LED's percentages set at?

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Honestly fairly low! We are running the Blues at 30% and the Whites at 10% for 8HRS a day! -Blaine

[@The_reel_archer]

Are you guys seeing good sps growth with the Red Sea LED lights?

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Will be excited to get more in there and get you a better idea once we have them in there! For the Dragon though it seems to be doing great for it! -Blaine

[@ReefontheCouch]

Yo I wanna see your tank Blaine!

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Think I might have to make it happen now after hearing all these comments! -Blaine

[@pete_stewardson]

How does that work with multiple filefish in the same tank?

[@TopShelfAquatics]

The firefish actually do well in this small group since we have added them in! Feel it's important to make sure that during feedings everyone gets a bite! -Blaine

[@SeanLaughs]

i have a cyano, hair, and bubble algae outbreak, green and red. Tank has been going for 7 months with no issues now boom B**ch slapped all at once lol. What did you guys do?

[@TopShelfAquatics]

We threw the whole kitchen sink at it! Blackout periods, phyto dosing, torching the rock space with a butane torch... we went all in on it! -Blaine

[@paulrod53]

Your chalk bass needs more food to look more like a bass🎉 I seen them fat they look better that way😂

[@TopShelfAquatics]

You’re not wrong Paul! Something about a chunky chalk bass that warms my heart LOL thanks for tuning in! -Blaine

[@roxannealexander2386]

Acantho

[@TopShelfAquatics]

I can get behind this idea!! -Blaine

[@roxannealexander2386]

@@TopShelfAquatics Talk to Frank! See if there is something "fire" left that I didn't buy from him :)

[@barrypontbriand2462]

Need some meat!

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Second comment saying this! I can understand that too! -Blaine

The wife just wants an IM 80…
