RedSea Max Nano Peninsula Update Part 3

Update on the ‪@Redseafish‬ max nano peninsula 9 months in. Paul talks about some of the soft corals , later fish additions and the overall development and chemistry at this point of this fanatic nano reef aquarium, then followed by a water change . Sit back and enjoy !

Couldn't agree more. I don't think I would have had the same success with a different tank. Absolutely, brilliant beginner reef. The softies and NPS....wow, absolutely beautiful. Your nano reef is thriving. Really enjoyed the nano update 👍

I honestly think that if your serious about nanos you can’t beat them . Glad you liked it . . I still feel a total idiot doing these videos not a touch on you sir 👏

Stunning little tank, I'm so tempted to get back into the hobby after many years away after seeing how things have moved on, and for the better.

[@aactv3223]

Well this little tank is a good place to start for sure . Thanks for the comment .

Setup is something special, certainly shows you can have an amazing reef tank in a nano. Really nice to see shoaling cardinals in the tank 👍 Certainly considering one of these in the future.

Another great video, Paul. A brilliant little display. 🪸

[@aactv3223]

Thank you Harry !

Great video again. I love a soft coral tank, always have, but this one is so simple and looks amazing.

[@queencityreefs]

You've done great with this tank! 👏🏻 Great job!

[@aactv3223]

Thank you! 👍

Love it - looks like a great tank and I love seeing interesting softies! I definitely agree with taking it easy with carbon dosing / NOPOX and that it helps with bacteria in the water column that the corals feed on. Lovely to see the pipefish (never had a Janus which is amazing and now on my list - I've had dragon faced pipes which I love) and the geometric hawke (plectranthias or something). The hawke is a great fish in a smaller tank and well under rated.

Great update looks great 🎉 Inspiration for maybe the new 500 ?? Thoughts Paul ?

[@aactv3223]

I’m actually going to be repeating the theme in the new 425 display, low cost , movement and no chemistry to really worry about , just bright clean seawater .

Hi Paul, great series 👍 I’m a new owner of a Red Sea Max Nano (2 months in, never owned a reef tank - yikes!). I would be really interested to understand your bespoke lighting schedule and still a little unsure about the skimmer. I only have 4 fish (2 x clown, 2 x cardinal, 2 x cleaning shrimp, no corals at present) so I’m not sure if my bio load isn’t great so the skimmer isn’t really under stress and not really producing foam. I can get bubbles etc but no foam? Any advice would be greatly appreciated 👍

[@jacklawer6389]

Gr8 video, question please do use a wave maker or circulation pump not including the one in sump ? And are u using a skimmer? Thx

[@aactv3223]

Hi yes we are using the stock protein skimmer and later down the road we added a small jecod circulation pump to support the return pump . Not needed on the Max 75 - but I felt that once full of coral - the 100 needed that little extra flow . Hope that helps you . All the best Paul aac
