Reef Beginner Trying Acropora! - Becka's Tank Series: Episode 10

[@bthefountain]

That’s an interesting way to fix that problem! Genius!!!

[@dereks3207]

DIY Screen top with the Innovative marine rimless lid clips is always what i've used.

[@carminecarlone2869]

What he said^^

[@Ellery-USA]

I just 3d printed some corner braces and used the aluminum window frame screen frames to drop flush with the top lip of the Rimless tank or even framed tank. It's fine if you don't have alot of wires coming out of the tank. if you do making a bunch of openings can be a pain.

[@albe4853]

This is also what i did to my tank and i love it.

[@carminecarlone2869]

Do you sell the 3D printed tabs? I super glued plastic washers to mine but it looks tacky haha

[@abitsalty7603]

Reef crystals is the culprit with the high mag. Check the forums. Always tests over 2000 right out of the bucket!

[@carminecarlone2869]

I want to say that there are plenty other lps that take up more magnesium faster than acros and are much easier to keep and fill space. My personal favorite is caulastrea, add one or 2 frags as there are 3 different types. My candy cane (caulastrea) has grown extremely quick and ever since adding it my magnesium depleted very quickly. I also want to mention that high magnesium is more helpful than most think. I ran at about 1250 for the longest time. One day deceived to shoot to 1500. Since then I’ve noticed GREATLY improved stability between alkalinity and calcium (less fluctuation and battling) magnesium is a binder. Not only has this helped me spend less money on dosing alk and cal, but also keep a more stable tank. Corals also love magnesium and for some reason it helps them adjust and adapt to changes better. So I wouldn’t see magnesium in the 1500 range being harmful to coral as long as they are adjusted. However if you are extremely past 1500 as high as the salutary test goes, I would lower it just because there’s no reason to be that high up in mag levels. Not a pro reefer, just speaking from experience and trying to help you achieve your dream tank. Hopefully you read this and learn from my experience.😊😉

Custom lid all the way. Kraken Lids or ClearView Lids are two of the best out there. I have a ClearView, one of their basic models on a 100g tank. If I had know that's who the LFS I got the lid through ordered from, for what I paid I would have just gone direct and ordered one of their better models with the individual removable sections. What I have is nice and does the job, but I'd recommend one of their better model for your tank (or really any large tanks).

Becka…Becka…Becka , Do not chase Numbers Becka, Trust Your eyes.

[@Cosigner22]

Chasing numbers 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@andibandi1190]

Since you asked, there is the adjustable net D-D JumpGuard Pro, for example 180x90cm. You can make it smaler if you want. And there are accessories for creating outcuts in it if you wish so.

[@jjmccloud]

I can not keep sps for nothing 😢 lps do great for me but sps nope lol

[@ronaldlambertson2624]

Looks like Dinos on that last piece of SPS.

[@leerose6257]

Does becky have her own channel

[@cornflakeblaked]

Come back to tiktok. Please.

[@fishpony1211]

I want the neptune sky lights on my next build. Please update on what u think about the lights in a future video👍

[@KnarBurger]

It’s all over now lol. The bug has bit and once you get the satisfaction of seeing success with acros you will be hooked.

[@deiniou]

The red Sea or similar screens that can fit inside the rimless tanks are great in my opinion...

[@kuraimaho]

I like a simple screen top. The Red Sea kit comes with little tabs to use on rimless tanks that will hold it up.

[@Juju-ch5it]

yeah I have little tab clips on my rimless that hold up a screen perfectly

[@bishintheface]

Love the video but thought I saw something... Around 4:21 to 4:31 you show a video of a coral. Was that from your tank? Looks like it has red bugs on it? Could be wrong, but I had them eat my corals. I needed interceptor from a vet. That would kill a coral or two also. My 2cents and like the enthusiasm you put into the tank!

[@ms.reeferfoxx9172]

Certainly something crawling on them. Hard to say red bugs though.

[@baaa4698]

Ok…I’ll bite. What salt are u using that has the really high mg?!

[@makeocean]

Wow

[@kayjoe7237]

Hi Becka

[@philcavallini9657]

U can get glass canopy clips from Amazon, just check it's width. U can also get eggcrate in black

[@carminecarlone2869]

Glass lids aren’t the best idea for a system like this as it traps a lot of heat and reduces gas exchange which leads to low pH

[@anthonyhernandez7582]

I'm a fan of Top Lids, their clear lids are a bute and they have evap covers as an option

[@travertinepico751]

A couple Monti caps would help increase your magnesium consumption.

[@飛雲-o7g]

😘🐠🐠🐠

[@projectsoup]

Episode 11? You kinda left us with a cliffhanger there.

[@ArrickthaRed]

I like my Sky's but had to add a Kessil for a little shimmer. It helps the tank look like there is some movement even though it isn't much.

[@rolisreefranch]

You dropped a good light for a SKY?!?!

[@travertinepico751]

Brs screen mesh top kit is very nice. It’s a clear mesh screen so it doesn’t block the light much at all.

[@eddyortiz8110]

😂😂 that was good. I noticed a big Orange shoulder in there.🧡

[@ou812reefing]

Great video thanks for sharing and very informative and inspiring

[@lifeofskittlesthekitty247]

Whats the water hardness in your area?

[@Big-Cat27]

The among Us sound tho 😂

[@jyoung11]

Love the suspense at the end 😅

[@MicrobiusBlue]

Epic Ending

[@jamesrecon14]

You had us! 😆

[@passivcube5680]

Hello Becka would you be so kind to tell me what name is the coral at time 4:00

[@tidalgardens]

That is a Koji Wada Nephthea.

[@passivcube5680]

@@tidalgardens thank you very much

[@kaotichell12]

God imagine having all that space to work with, and...you know...people to help you. PLUS all the free crap. Sigh, living the dream. I have to budget my reef. And its sad, SPS is literally off the table as the lights im using arent powerful enough, which is something i didnt realise when I got into this hobby, but i can't afford better lights, least not in this day and age, so I'm kinda stuck with what I have.

[@baaa4698]

Find some reef buddies to trade with. Cuts coral costs significantly

[@kaotichell12]

@@baaa4698 I mean....you realise that doesnt help.....well, anything i mentioned
