Reef Tank - Red Sea Reefer 250 - 2 YEAR Tank Update - No More Algae - Triton ICP Results

[@Mikeymikemike]

Amazing tank, very nice balance of shape and colour

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers buddy, definitely a compliment coming from yourself

[@snoggful]

Great looking tank looks amazing, top channel just found you. Tank is spotless and your sump was unbelievably clean too. Mate have to say though the zooming in and out was crazy, if you haven't watched it back take a look lol, only thing letting you down your voice overs are excellent.

[@NanoTankReefer]

Just watched it back and I completely agree buddy 🙈 You'll see a noticeable improvement after this week's upload! This Thursday's is just being edited so I'll improve the camera work thereafter 👍 Thanks again bud

[@bradelz]

Hey mate! Didn't wait till the end of the video before asking so sorry if you answered this throughout but what lights are you using? I've got a brand new tank and I'm struggling to find some lights. Love the look of your tank!

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers dude. I'm using 2x GHL Mitras LX7206 and an Aquaticlife T5 Hybrid fixture

[@BeardedReef]

Brilliant video mate, I really enjoyed this one, the tank looks amazing, the new rockwork you added has blended in nicely! was great to see the icp results too! keep up the awesome videos!

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers Ross, yeah I'm really happy with the additional rockwork now it's not covered in algae 😂

[@stevemunn367]

Looking absolutely amazing, have you glued the montis to the back? And the rock flower anemone are looking great, where did you get these? 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 great update

[@NanoTankReefer]

The monti were tiny frags chem I glued them to the back wall bud. They are fully encrusted now and held up by themselves. It only took about 2 weeks for them to have a small foothold on the back wall

[@NanoTankReefer]

The nems I bought years ago. I got 1 from future frags and the other 2 from BBA Atlantis but it was maybe 2 - 2.5 years ago bud

[@liamcochrane7710]

Another stunning tank. I truly think us Aussies, well most of us, set up very similar style aquariums to the UK/Europe scene. I definitely did in the my early years of the hobby, absolutely love the colour spectrum and scape

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers dude. I think tank trends seem to do the rounds. Back in the day it was rocks piled up against the back wall, then it went to arched scapes and now NSA scaped seem to be all the rage

[@solarflare8806]

Beautiful tank, would have loved to been able to see it more, a little less moving so people can see. But keep doing what you are doing!

[@settsreef4164]

Great vid again Tris. The tank looks stunning.

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers mate, yeah it doesn't look half bad this week

[@jason5584]

Beautiful tank! I recently got a XL 300 and can only hope mine looks as nice in two years. Could you give an overview of your flow? It looks like pumps on the back wall, but I'd love to know type, strength and wave settings. Also which return pump you're running.

[@NanoTankReefer]

2x Sicce SDC on tha back wall running reef crest at 50% anti-sync On the top right in running a gyre xf330 on 50% pulse mode The return pump is a reef octopus various running at 100% with 2 VCA random flow generators 🙂

[@rich5649]

Tank is looking great, have you changed your lights from Ai??? Ghl mitras ??

[@NanoTankReefer]

I certainly have, I made the switch in October to Mitras

[@rich5649]

@@NanoTankReefer thought so, be intriguing to hear your thoughts on them? unlike other light brands information and reviews are not as plentiful, it’s definitely a light I’m considering but as stand alone opposed to hybrid.

[@NanoTankReefer]

For spread of light its hands down the best light I've used. It's an even spread of par across the whole tank with no hot spots. Setting the lights up and amending the light schedule took a bit of getting used to but overall I'm really glad I made the switch. I'm covering my lights in next week's video, it's not a review or in depth look at the Mitras but an overview of my lighting and schedule

[@rich5649]

@@NanoTankReefer look forward to it 👍

[@shnicnick9842]

Great video!! What are you using to film your tank? If it’s on a phone what type of filter are you using for the camera? It looks amazing!!

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers mate. I just use my phone (Samsung s10) with an orphek filter

Great looking tank.

[@Algaewarrior]

Seachem cuprisorb will take out unwanted metals. I have used that and purit by brightwell as well as chemipure blue. I think Mogsy is using a special filter pad for the same purpose.

[@NanoTankReefer]

Spot on! Cheers mate 👍 I'll take a look

[@ASBsweet]

Like the intro! Quality update mate, tank is looking Mint! 2 years already....Time is going way too quick at the minute. It would be good to look back on the tanks development since day one, for the 2 year anniversary?

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers Andy, good shout! Time flies don't it 🤯 it doesn't seem like it was that long ago when I was getting all the equipment together ready for the upgrade

[@jaysrealreefuk]

The tank is stunning, especially those SPS colonies. What it the name of the one that is yellow front and centre? Great update mate 👍 take care.

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers Jay! The yellow acro is a 'Pikachu' Acropora microclados

[@jaysrealreefuk]

@@NanoTankReefer I need one of those in my collection - stunning coral 👍

[@bopeep7806]

Lanthium chloride will eventually deplete its self mate, i used atm agent green for a while and it sat around for 3 months after using it, i used an arcadia poly filter pad and it seemed to zero it after 2 weeks the second time i used it :)

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers mate, I've done a few tactical waterchanges to bring it down a little but I'll see how it goes. I've also reduced the dose and added a bag of carbon to err on the side of caution

[@joshpowell8153]

Cellar marine have a nice sunset millie colony for sale rn. And if you're after a frag of sunset mille then Prestigereef has some I believe. Both amazing quality. Great video mate 👍👌

I appreciate the offer dude, I'm in the Midlands. I did pick 1 up today but you'll see on Thursday it didn't go as well as I had planned 🙈😭

[@bopeep7806]

I also love aquaforest 1+2+3+ its slightly weaker than some other solutions but it keeps my acros happy dosing 40ml of each per day and paying £45 for 3- 5 ltr tubs it works out great value for me, mines the redsea 300xl

[@NanoTankReefer]

It's a great product but I'm up to about 98ml per day, I'm refilling the dosing containers way too often (currently every other week) Triton works out to be half the cost and reef zlements about the same cost of Triton. I just feel like I can get alot more bang for my buck, also the other 2 are alot more concentrated so I won't have to replenish half as often 🤷🏻‍♂️ It's not set in stone but a serious consideration switching

[@bopeep7806]

@@NanoTankReefer i adjusted mine with lanthium and maintain it at 0.04 using fauna marin 0.04, the water has never been clearer and the phosphate stays rock solid at 0.04 :)
