[@JonesIsHere]

absolutely the best reefer 250 i have EVER seen.

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers mate 🙂 I also think it's the best too... But I'm biased

[@Algaewarrior]

I really like how the space invader chalice (I think) perfectly fits inside of the semicircle between your 2 millies on the right side when you're looking top down. The tank is looking amazing!

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers dude. Yeah I tried to place it somewhere that gets full light with no shading. It was a perfect fit down there 😁

[@fernang4220]

its wonderfuld the acro gray with pink tips, good job!

[@richardportelli1983]

Love that Pikachu, its on my wish list for sure. Just transferring my scape into my reefer 250 this weekend. Got the tank second hand and did some custom plumbing with a gate valve.

[@NanoTankReefer]

Pikachu is a stunning coral isn't it! I'm hoping the wolverine will colour up to the same standard but only time will tell. Nice! Yeah the standard gave valve isn't that great... Good shout on updrading the plumbing

[@IMGbaugher]

Great video man. Your tanks are looking amazing.

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers dude!

[@darthcon34]

Looking lovely mate

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers dude 🙂

[@ukm120]

Awesome tank.

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers dude 😁

[@aaronhoy9965]

great update video, hopefully the wolverine and the sunset millepora will color up, such a stunning tank

[@NanoTankReefer]

I hope so mate. The sunset is definitely bouncing back and the wolverine is still just settling I guess

[@stevemunn367]

Great update the tank is looking amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers Steve

[@PracticalReefer]

Stunning tank mate, some amazing corals! 🙌 Sure if you ever need a Kidney, Jay's Real Reef might consider a swap for that Pikachu 🤔😂

[@NanoTankReefer]

😂😂😂 I think you're right!

[@PracticalReefer]

@@NanoTankReefer 🤣 always good to have an insurance policy 😅

[@jaysrealreefuk]

Your tank is absolutely stunning. Definitely something to aspire to. My favourites are the red planet, Pikachu and obviously the torch. Some beautiful colouration on the SPS. Really enjoyed this type of update. 👍.

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers Jay, the red planet is a nice one isn't it. I thought you'd be a fan of the torch! It's not as nice as your OG Grail but it's a nice torch none the less

[@chrisb1798]

I really like the mix of colours. Great update mate. Your tank is AMAZING

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers dude! Yeah I've tried to place contrasting colours next to each other so I don't have big blocks of certain colours. It's not perfect but I'm very happy with how it looks

[@skysurfer79]

amazing job man, bravo !

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers dude!

[@BeardedReef]

Brilliant update mate, some really stunning corals in that tank! I really love your rock flower nems, some amazing colours!! The new torch is awesome too!

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers Ross, yeah the rock flowers add a little pop to the bottom of the tank. I'd get some more but they rarely come up for sale 😭

[@BeardedReef]

@@NanoTankReefer I'm still on the lookout for one!

[@NanoTankReefer]

If I find any I'll let you know bud. I feel like they are seasonal as when 1 shop has them they all do. But it only seems to be 2 or 3 times a year 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@BeardedReef]

@@NanoTankReefer I'm going to see if Nessies lair can order me some, will let you know!

[@NanoTankReefer]

@@BeardedReef good man!

[@rob21974a]

Stumbled across your tank while searching for ION Director videos, tank is fantastic - I really struggle to get my SPS colors to pop

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers mate. Yeah I had alot of SPS issues in the past, crap colour and stripping acros. Stability of the biggest factor, I've stopped feeding coral foods and gone back to basics and everything seems happy

[@rob21974a]

@@NanoTankReefer had more colour and growth in my 170, now they are in a custom 550 litre, parameters are stable just wish I had the ion director to monitor ca more closely, it’s been a long wait assume you’re a beta tester

[@cyprusreefers6030]

Awesome RSR250! Interested to know about your parameters, especially No3-Po4 and feeding/filtering jds.

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers dude. Here's a full list of parameters: NO3 - 5 PO4 - 0.03 Calcium - 410 Magnesium - 1285 Alkalinity - 7 Potassium - 398 I feed the fish twice per day vitalis platinum pellet food

[@richardportelli1983]

Man that hirsuta is pretty also, gotta get me one.

[@NanoTankReefer]

It's a very underrated piece. It's super cheap, it's a good grower and the growth pattern is pretty cool

[@oliviergillet3203]

Very nice tank, would it be possible to have a video of your decantation?

[@ceirongreen1676]

Stunning tank mate. Fair play you've put some good thought into the Placement of some of these corals. Really nice tank 👌

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers buddy, there's definitely an art to placement. It's fair to say I've learned alot over the past year or so of keeping SPS

[@NanoTankReefer]

Yeah I had to ditch most of my LPS when I started ramping the flow. There's a few select areas in my 250 that are suitable for some nice torches. I'm really missing the movement they gave to the tank. I plan on slowly adding a few more to the tank and seeing how they get on. I'll have a little read of that thread now... Cheers mate

[@ceirongreen1676]

@@NanoTankReefer I think I'm going to have to go down the same route to be fair mate. I won't ever go for a mixed reef again, way too hard to keep balanced. I find I'm constantly fighting to find that equilibrium.

[@NanoTankReefer]

@@ceirongreen1676 I have to agree with you there. Maybe in a bigger system I'll try a mixed reef again but in a 3 foot tank it's a bloody nightmare

[@kesjohnson6857]

You've got some really nice pieces in there mate

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers bud, I think I can pull a little more colour out a few of the corals but overall I'm pretty happy 🙂

[@AQUAGUYUK]

Doh!! think i need a reef tank now

I'm running AB+ schedule. The light come on at 9am and ramp up for 3 hours and they turn off at 9.30pm with a 3 hour ramp down

Never realised how much sps you had mate.

I have quite a bit now, I think last time you were round it was predominantly LPS

[@settsreef4164]

Great vid again Tris. What a stunning tank you have. What are the zoas with alot of pink on them please??

@@settsreef4164 no worries dude. I am possibly nipping a few polyps off the colony soon. If you want any just drop me a message. If you cover the postage or collect they are yours for free 🙂

[@darktonio377]

Fabulous tank. Total beginner here. Seems impossible to achieve… If you know, what is the PAR measures for the tank top/middle/bottom plz? Also, apart from usual balling KH/Ca/Mg, do you dose anything in particular on a regular basis. Like nopox, vibrant, bacteria etc… 🙏

[@NanoTankReefer]

Nothing is impossible given time, patience and research 🙂 Par values roughy 600 at the top, 400 mid and 200 bottom Other than the main components I don't regularly dose anything to the tank. It's quite a mature system so nutrients are relatively stable 🙂

[@marcosherrera675]

Where did you end up putting that torch permanently? I noticed it's pretty low in the tank.. probably because at the time of this video you just picked it up.. did it do well long term? I have the same tank you do . I'm trying to pick up most of the corals you have. Your tank is very nice. I'm trying to build something similar. I have small sps frags right now. But I see you are running out of room fast. I should have baught a bigger tank lol

[@thereefinrican]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers bro!

[@adrianramirez7675]

congratulations on your tank. what dimensions does the front have, deep and high

[@splee9680]

What species of monitpora has the blueish base with green polyps? We dont have that where Im from

[@NanoTankReefer]

Montipora undata I think. I'm not 100% sure though

[@TheBioReef]

Lovely collection- we have a few similar corals… what is that bank of light on your tank ? AI?

[@NanoTankReefer]

We do have a few similar corals, I noticed when I watched your latest update yesterday 🙂 The LEDs are GHL Mitras

[@TheBioReef]

@@NanoTankReefer nice!

Nice. I'm trying to get new sps back growing. I lost everything in feb winter storm. No power for 3 days. What settings do u set lights too. Blues. Violets. Deep blue. Red green. B whites.

@@NanoTankReefer i had hydra 32hd. But bluetooth won't stay. Took it down. Put my relassy. Back,up. Whites are low. Blues are up.

[@NanoTankReefer]

Do you just have control of the blues and whites or can you also adjust violet, UV, red and green?

[@alexl.9317]

Do you have the GHL mitras lights? How happy are you with them?

[@NanoTankReefer]

I do, I'm using the LX 7206. Setup was a little complicated as it's not what I'm used to coming from AI. Other than that I'm over the moon with them, most of my coral growth has been since I switched out the lighting

[@alexl.9317]

@@NanoTankReefer Do you think they can hold up alone or the extra T5 are needed?

[@NanoTankReefer]

The t5s on my tank are overkill. I only kept them on as I bought them new and knew I wouldn't get much for them second hand. I could have easily got away with ditching the t5s and running just the LEDs
