A lot of the newer reefers don't realize this but this is very much an old school Frankenstein style tank you used to see on Reef Central. You really can only do this with decades of experience. Every single thing he does has a reason and contingencies to get a small benefit over something available off the shelf. NOT recommended for an inexperienced reefer! The night time air sparging in the sump with old skimmer pumps and bubble traps is *chef's kiss*

Not the Moonshiners method. But when I do ICP tests, I’ll use their elements to make corrections. I do use Rubidium, iron, Maneese, Chromium and molybdenum on a daily basis

Another great video and an amazing tank! I’ve hesitated getting into Acros as I thought my nutrients are too high, but his nitrates are 30-35 and phosphate 0.8 - 1.2 and his Acros are stunning! I might have to start dipping my toes into the world of sticks!
@insideout5183 ай бұрын
My waterbox cube nitrates were 20-40 with acro's and they were fine. Start with a digi or mili and you should be fine. My newer tank I'm still working the kinks out my nitrates are super high 30-60 and they are still good and my Walt Disney frag is in there and looks happy
@hurricaneaquatics3 ай бұрын
@helenchambers169 That's actually not true. Your nitrates and Phosphate is ok for Acropora. You'll need to have good flow and good lighting and they'll do fine with what your levels are. They NEED nitrates and Phosphates.

I'd say go for it. We run our nutrients high with acros as well(a little lower than Ronald though). Just start off with some bulletproof acros such as green slimer and paletta pink tip.

Skimmer pump aerating in the sump, never heard of this, I wonder if it works to increase your ph
@RonaldOlivier-qs6zz3 ай бұрын
It does when you control it. You have to feed it with air drawn from outside. Either put it on a timer to only come on at night, or on a ph control of some kind. I use the hydros controller combined with a Hydros power strip. Then tie it in with PH probe dependencies and set the PH parameters to turn on those power outlets when PH drops below 8.25. You have to control it somehow, cuz if it runs all day, PH WILL climb more and more with each day until it reaches dangerous levels. This of corse depends on size of tank, other factors that lower PH, and also how large of an aerator pump you use. You should also devise some way to capture the bubbles not allowing them to get back to the display, or at least minimize as much as possible.
@RonaldOlivier-qs6zz3 ай бұрын
Special Note: if you have a mosquito truck passing your house on a regular basis, program the hydros NOT to operate or engage that particular outlet during their spray schedule. So if they usually pass between 7pm and 8pm. Tell hydros to schedule it NOt to come in between 6pm and like 9pm. Ya don’t want Mosquito spray contaminating your tank. If you’re just gonna use a programmable timer, then obviously You know to program it NOT to come on until after the mosquito truck passes

Growing all that algae may be the cause having to dose nitrate and phosphate?
@RonaldOlivier-qs6zz3 ай бұрын
You want to have nutrients/nutrition in, and a robust nutrient export system. Refugium also supply’s a safe haven for pods, and algae scrubber releases oxygen and other beneficial elements back into the water column
