Red Sea Reefer G2...How are those 1 inch frags doing a year later?

It has been 1-year since I obtained my first coral for the Red Sea Reefer G2. Progress report incoming...

[@queencityreefs]

Wow! Great job! 👏💯🙌🔥✌️

[@josgraha]

incredible growth

[@Geoff-jn4jn]

very nice indeed. the timeline is so interesting and it can see the growth of each coral over a year.

[@zburnreefing]

Thank you!😊

[@fletcherwright7042]

Nice growth for a year and good colors 👍

[@mrschnigglepoo]

Fantastic growth! I’m at about half of that and honestly happy with my growth. Yours is next level!

[@zburnreefing]

Thanks for tuning in and checking it out!

[@jackson6745]

Really exceptional growth on the BC pieces! Well done. Nice recap!

[@zburnreefing]

Thank you! Patiently waiting for my darn pearl berry to grow, thanks to the inspiration from one of your past tanks…there were a few select pieces I didn’t highlight in this video because they just don’t want to grow for some reason. Maybe year 2 right? 😅

[@jackson6745]

@@zburnreefing We all have those pieces. These days I have to nurse many of these stunted small frags into an actual healthy growing frags first. Slow process and very frustrating. Getting a healthy growing frag with growth tips is key! Not always available though.

Really incredible growth just 1 year in with that tank! I'd love to hear you recap to your challenges to get here and what you have plans for next.

[@zburnreefing]

Appreciate the feedback! There has definitely been some ups and downs. I’ll get a video up describing those downs for sure! Not getting too down mentally and pushing through may just be the key.

Everything’s looking good. I just picked up an ORA red Goni from Cherry Corals at a frag swap. It’s doubled in size in like 2 months. Yours is huge.

[@zburnreefing]

That’s awesome; great choice! One of the most bullet proof gonis out there for sure. Mine seems to enjoy occasional feedings of reef roids.

[@Dibilibix27]

I love your videos so much! Big thanks from Brazil!! 🇧🇷 please dont stop. Inspiring on you. Where have you got this MH? Is there some place in the US lilke a marketplace that i can buy used items? Thanks

[@zburnreefing]

Thank you for your kind feedback. Yes, I need to get some more videos ready! :) My MH fixture I got off Reef2reef. It’s a great forum and they have a selling goods section. You can still buy them new from Germany, but they are quite expensive. Sometimes eBay has them as well - it’s a Giesemann Spectra.

[@Dibilibix27]

@@zburnreefingthank you! Have you changed your feeding method? You do once a week?

[@zburnreefing]

@@Dibilibix27 no real changes. Feed fish heavy each day - pellets, nori, and mysis. I also feed coral particulate foods about twice a week to keep nutrients up. Usually reef roids and benepets. If phosphate gets too high, I’ll cut back on the coral foods temporarily. I also will feed some oyster feast a couple times a week as well.

[@Dibilibix27]

@@zburnreefing Nice! Last question, could please send me the link or name of your two part with traces. Is the ESV, but I didn't find all together.

Great! Balling? Calcium reactor, what are you using to replace macro and micro?

[@zburnreefing]

I'm dosing ESV Bionic 2 part (which has some trace) and water changes.

[@jchan11202000]

NICE!! What salt do you use?

[@zburnreefing]

Thanks! I have been using tropic Marin pro reef salt. Seems to keep my parameters stable. I also have used reef crystals for years but don’t love the high alk when doing larger water changes.

[@adamsreef]

My tank was devastated with velvet. Its so hard to see my tank fallow

[@zburnreefing]

That is terrible; sorry to hear it. Keep your head up and persevere!
