I also saw that video on AEFW. I did it for 6 weeks, but not sure if it wiped out the AEFW completely. I did noticed that the concentration isn't strong enough to eliminate red bugs.

WOW, that Bertus Eksteen's 400 gal is very impressive! I'm having a custom 400 gal built to keep sps. I should have it running by the end of august 24, Also, I'm looking for a videos discussions involving ozone reactor for a reef aquarium, how it is setup, how much ozone add to the tank...etc.. Do you have video on Frag Garage you can recommand about aquarium with ozone system? Also, I own a new Neptune Apex pro system. I'm looking for a programming code pages that I can use to set up my system. Do you know if there is any web site that owner of Neptune Apex system publish their coding for their equipments to work with the Neptune? Keep producing your video. It is very informative.

[@fraggarage5922]

Hi Alain, I have limited knowledge and zero experience with using ozone, so I can't weigh in much on that. For Apex code, I think there is a Neptune forum and also a lot of discussion on reef2reef.. Good luck and thanks for the comments!

[@aaabraham14]

Hi, do you run the whites at 100% for 4 hours then ramp them down to 0% in the 5th hour, is this correct. Thanks in advance.

[@gianmarcofaraone]

can you share the schedule of the main tank radion pro?

[@fraggarage5922]

I believe it is just the standard AB+ schedule, but I'll see if I can get Bertus to weigh in.

[@thecoralandfishguy]

What was the microscope Bertum was referring to?

[@fraggarage5922]

I'll have to ask him for the link again.. sorry! There are quite a few on Amazon if you just look up digital micrscope.

[@michaelho1671]

Does it cost extra to select you as a Consultant for ICP lab results?

[@fraggarage5922]

Yes, just a little, as I do value my time. If you're in Canada and buy FM products I usually put the fee back towards the order. You can select me and I'll ahve a quick look at it either way and reach out from there.

Fauna marin aefw x product

[@fraggarage5922]

From what I hear, it doesn’t really kill them, just helps control them a bit..

[@kingofrannoch]

The smallest 400 gallon tank I ever seen. Doesn't even look 6 feet

[@fraggarage5922]

hahah you're right. I just checked and the display is 315 gallons. Maybe 400 with sump, tanks in the back, etc.
