Just wow!! Awesome tank. Tank crashes are literally the worst, so disheartening, looking at it now you would never be able to tell there was ever a problem, true skill

[@leehempson9408]

Reef looks fantastic- keep up the good work!!

[@brianredban9393]

Your tank is unbelievable. I wish I had the money to make mine as nice. Great job

[@CarrFam5]

That has to be the most amazing home reef tank I’ve ever seen

[@Reefkpr1]

Thank you. Really appreciate the nice compliment.

[@atfinthehouse8631]

Tank looks great! Don’t sweat it. Best wishes for a better 2021!

[@Reefkpr1]

Thanks ATF. Happy New year!

[@Val_Halla777]

Man..sorry to hear. Totally sucks to lose that many acros..ouch. But wow...your reef’s looking absolutely killer still brother. Here’s to a much better new year ahead!

[@Reefkpr1]

Thanks Val. Appreciate you stopping by.

Glad to see everything turned out ok for ya 😎👍🏻

Phil knows what hes doing. You recovered really well. Actually looks better in some ways. Stay Reefing!

[@Reefkpr1]

Thanks Mel. As you know, crashes can be heartbreaking but you can always bounce back. Thanks for watching!

Awesome as usual 👍 Happy New Year Phil!

Thanks Dwight. Happy new year to you too.

[@ArrickthaRed]

Honestly it looks almost like you never missed a beat

[@Reefkpr1]

Thanks Arrick. It was looking rough for a couple of months but it could have been way worse.

[@northernreefer1614]

Tank looks awesome, nice job caring for it while it recovered. Heartbreaking to see the skeletons, but at lease you have all the corals. 👍

[@AlanHuiRealty]

Holy moly... that's tough. I'm frightened to start an all SPS tank due how fast they crash from any fluctuations. Love the torch on the right by the way!

[@Carlos23reef]

Happy New Year. Glad you bounced back, can't wait for the new build.

[@Reefkpr1]

Thanks Carlos. Happy New Year. I'm excited for the new build. Tons of work to do before it goes up.

[@Reefahholic]

Glad that thing recovered man. Tank looks full and healthy. Happy New Year! 🎆

Thank DanO

[@Arie_Idaho_Reef]

Looking good bud, glad it bounced back and excited for the new build!!!!

[@Reefkpr1]

Thanks! I'm excited too but have tons of work to do before getting started. I'll be cycling the rock for months hoping to get a nice good head start.

[@richardportelli1983]

Your tank looks amazing, I dream for a tank like this!

[@Reefkpr1]

You can do it!

[@StNovaSt]

Hey Phil. Im trying to emulate your tank, as this is factually the best mixed reef on KZbin. I dont think ive seen a par video. Is there one?

[@Reefkpr1]

Thank you so much! I haven't done a par video. I have my readings and happy to share with you. Send me a message on Instagram @CC_Reefkpr or on R2R: Scubabum and I can send you a screenshot of my Par values. Thanks again!

@@Reefkpr1 Wow that was a fast response. I just did that and came back here to scrutinize your reef then saw you answered. Lol. Kudos

[@akvasvet]

👍 :)

[@GM0971]

your tank once again looks spectacular, it has bounced back really well. For your flow is it just the 2 mp40's you have in there?

[@Reefkpr1]

Thank you! I have the 2 MP40's and 2 Sicce SDC Xstreams in the back left and right corners.

[@GM0971]

@@Reefkpr1 thanks for your reply, keep up the stunning work with your tank

[@bfgbfg6515]

As far as I know , a juvenile vlamingi tang would wipe out a tank full of bubble algae . I personally experienced this myself . Nearly gave up if not for this fish .

[@Reefkpr1]

Great information. Thanks for sharing.

[@angryowlaquariums40]

Looks awesome! That fight with aefw sounds horrible, but to have that growth despite them is incredible! On a side note why do I feel like everyone's videos are clearer than mine? 😭🦉🍻

[@Reefkpr1]

Thanks! The AEFW really do suck. You start to see the acro losing color then see the bite marks and layers of eggs. Seems like a never ending battle with acros that have encrusted to the rock.

[@maverickreefer3255]

How much iodine were you dosing?

[@Reefkpr1]

4 drops of Lugols weekly. It seemed to be the perfect dose for many months. Verified by a few ICP test. Not sure what happened.

[@maverickreefer3255]

@@Reefkpr1 that’s strange, Do you have or did you use to have a refugium?

[@Reefkpr1]

@@maverickreefer3255 No I use an Algae Turf scrubber. From research some say since I was using KZ Flatworm stop it could have increased the Iodine. Many others using Flatworm stop have reported the high Iodine.

[@cloud9reefing503]

Hi I dose iodine too but half what is recommended for my tank size, did you do the same or exactly as instructed?

[@EDKsurly]

Glad its back Phil. What did you do to reduce the iodine>?

[@Reefkpr1]

Back to back to back water changes and Brightwell Erase CL. I think I just went WAY too fast. Panicked and should have spread out the water changes over a few weeks vs days.

[@Messier87_M87]

Interesting to hear the Walt Disney acropora was affected the most.

[@Reefkpr1]

I had it in 3 different parts of the tank. Small clippings off the tips of all acros survived except the WD. The cuttings continued to strip in my frag tank.

[@lineatus]

Do you still use ATS to control nutrients? If yes do you tun it 24/7 ? Thanks!

[@Reefkpr1]

Yes, I'm still running the Santa Monica Rain 2. I run it for 18 hours.

[@iMemphis-118]

Such a beautiful tank. Sorry to hear about the tank crash, but looks like everything is back on track! For your RSR525XL, flow wise, are you only using 2 MP40s? What % and mode are you running them at?

[@Reefkpr1]

Thanks Kennan. I'm running the 2 MP40's that switch from Reefcrest to Expanding pulse a couple of times per day at 50% and in the back left and right corners I have 2 Sicce SDC XStreams on 100% Impulse mode.
