For some reason I always learn more by watching how they start nano and pico reef aquariums 👍

What a brilliant nano reef tank for beginners and experienced reefers. Love the look of these tanks and a great video series on the setup. Looking forward to seeing the fish and corals edition. Thanks 👍

Watching this it appears, March and his team at Fragbox tv have put together a good starter tank option, very thoughtful.

Nice looking tank. Does the filter floss sit on a ledge or is it just wedged in? Could you show this in your next video?
@ReefDork8 ай бұрын
The tank comes with a little shelf insert that the floss sits on - probably won't show it in the next video, but I think the Zoa Tank Boys video shows it.

What happened to your budget saltwater aquarium? Would love an update if available. That was what inspired me to start my very first saltwater tank, a 10 gal Walmart with live sand and $25 lighting from Amazon.

Is it possible to have the light go into a deep blue\purple colour before near the end of the light cycle before turning off?
@ReefDork8 ай бұрын
Yes, to a point. Because there are only 3 time points, you can't set the colour channels to ramp down individually at different times. So there'll be a little bit of white in the evening still, albeit mostly deep blue. I'll see how it looks when I get corals in...

I used to have these lights years ago, they're also sold as AquaKnight V2s. I liked them but the fan noise was horrendous. Has this been fixed now? Also if you want a blue period at night, you can put it on a timer and set the last time point to e.g. full blues at say 8pm, and then have the timer turn it off at e.g. 10pm, and back on at 10:30 am, when your light starts to ramp back up. It holds the timings your programmed and so that way you get a few hours of full blues.
@so_so_reef8 ай бұрын
I think you also need your first time point to be zero %, as otherwise what it is going to do is slowly ramp up to 5% from the point they were completely turned off at 10 pm. This means you won't get a full dark period. Not sure if that's a problem, but thought I'd mention.
@ReefDork8 ай бұрын
The fan is almost completely silent - quiter than my Kessil. That's a good idea re the timer. The ramp up to 5% is so tiny you almost can't tell it's on!
