You must have amazing coral selection down under mate!

[@sandrag7217]

Such a huge fan of your videos, they help me coupe with some personal issues ❤️👍🏽 they are very therapeutic thank you and please don’t stop uploading amazing videos stay blessed and your water friends

[@BlueReefTank]

I'm so glad that you're enjoying the content! Happy reefing😄

[@eastnjman368]

Watching the flat worms made me itch😂😫

[@leiferik7722]

I’m so excited to see what you do with this tank. I just got the same one but I’m waiting till after I move in March to set it up.

[@BlueReefTank]

Good luck setting yours up, Leif! 💪

[@SaltyJaytee]

Love your videos! I’ve watched almost all of them and have subscribed very recently. Can you link us to the little vacuum hose that you used to remove the bacteria and worms?

[@metamannornelli6252]

i love your vids, i wish i could see everyday a new one. greetings from germany

[@BlueReefTank]

Glad you like them mate! One day (hopefully), I will post everyday!

[@settsreef4164]

Amazing vid once again. Hope the flatworms are gone for good!!!

[@BlueReefTank]

Thanks Setts! I hope so too!

[@innerpeacefindings671]

I would love to see you get Bouncy Mushroom coral for next video.

[@Epilefo]

I had the same trouble with flatworms. However, the way I used to clean them up was using a plastic pipette, very convinient and easy to handle.

[@BlueReefTank]

Thank you for the tips! 😁

[@sergio-dv9kr]

what a beautifull tank!!!Can i ask the granulometry of the sand you are using in the mini 25? thanks!

[@holgermuller2262]

this could be a very very nice tank.. some sps but it needs also some lps for moving... i am interessted in the final result. greetings holger

[@BlueReefTank]

Thank you for the suggestion Holger! 😁

[@BriansAquariums]

Going to add that fwe to my arsenal of pest fighting tools. That stuff seemed to work very well. I've only had fw once when I first got into the hobby but my sixline wrasse too care of them pretty quick. Amazing looking acans btw. Happy Reefing.

[@BlueReefTank]

It's very gentle on other creatures in the tank as long as you follow the instructions 😁 Thanks Brian!

[@aquajunkiejannis2479]

Hi ! Beautiful reed scape you have there ! Could i ask where you got it from ? Im planning to rescape my tank with the same dimensions because im quite unhappy with my very massive rocks atm. Beautiful corals, good work !

[@BlueReefTank]

Hi mate! You can check out the comment section in this video. They are called Living Reefs and you can get in touch with them via Facebook 🙂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/ip7Haoyfm69mkNk

[@KeiTakeshi21]

an awesome plate coral would be possum! :D

[@BlueReefTank]

That would look so cool 😍

[@JakeDogg-RIP]

I like this video! It nice video, shows struggles but also nice and relaxing, I like ur acans! They very pretty! I think u should get some scollys too! And some torches or hammers to add some movement, maybe so sps also at the top, chalice or plating maybe 🤔 whatever has nice colours that contrast the lps 🥰😍🐶

[@BlueReefTank]

Thanks for the idea mate! 😁

[@JakeDogg-RIP]

@@BlueReefTank u welcome! Can’t wait to see what u do 🥰🐶

[@skitf_001]

Gonis would look great! Especially since there’s so much variety in color. Lowkey a Galaxea all the way in the corner of the tank since they have some long sweepers

[@BlueReefTank]

Thanks for the idea Abe!

[@underthec7480]

sixline wrasses are super good at getting rid of the flatworms

[@BlueReefTank]

Yeah I heard many people had success with sixline wrasses but they also said that it can be quite aggressive towards other fish 😞 I had to skip this fish for that reason

[@jaminpetree4541]

I think GSP would look sweet for the entire floor of the tank. Imitating as grass, then any corals you decide on the structure. Almost making it look like a tree in real life yet a coral version of a tree. Something that’ll look unique and not natural might actually end up looking sweet!

[@BlueReefTank]

That's a really good idea Jamin! I like that!

[@daexotics339]

Not sure if you had certain plans with the tank but y not add a six line wrasse for the parasites? Love your videos they are so calming and relaxing to watch. As for new coral maybe a Goniopora?

[@BlueReefTank]

Six line can be a bit aggresive towards other fish. Especially to the ones that I plan to have in this tank 😅 thank you for the suggestion on corals 😁

[@josephposada1830]

This tank is your career lol

[@BlueReefTank]

Not yet a career but soon hopefully! haha

[@jamiecollier9828]

What is the tool you use to mix the coral dip called at 7:58? I think I saw in another video you used this to remove plugs, but can't find anything similar online. Thanks!

[@BlueReefTank]

I got that tool from my local art shop :D

[@jamiecollier9828]

[@chrismacias3543]

Whats your light schedule on your tanks?

[@barendfokke4602]

Nice Video. What kind of lid do u use for this tank?

[@BlueReefTank]

It's actually a magnetic fly screen. You can check them out here :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqvRlKx5qppgnNk

[@stxyooj]

I love your scape, did you make it yourself?

[@BlueReefTank]

I got someone else to make it for me 🙂

[@kennyy249]

i think some torches would be nice

[@BlueReefTank]

🌳🌳🌳

[@meinriff2704]

with astronomical prices.

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

I can see in your videos you have what appear to be Micro Brittle Stars in your tank. I have been looking EVERYWHERE for these but no one sells them in Australia:( if you sold them you’d be the only person in the country who does😆

[@BlueReefTank]

I hope mine will multiply one day so I can start selling it :D

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

@@BlueReefTank Let me know if you do, I’m in Melbourne and have given up trying to find them.👍

[@CzarnaWroc]

How did you attach these corals? did you use any glue?

[@BlueReefTank]

Yeah I used a normal coral glue 😁

[@Tan_ng]

By looking at this aquascape, maybe Sps dominated for a nano? 🤔 crazy but could be a challenge to break

[@BlueReefTank]

Great idea! I am still a bit hesitant to try sps because I heard they can be hard to care for 😅 But I think it will look great in this tank

[@AaronHendu]

Lots of flowy, long tentacle corals would look with the rockscape, IMO.

[@BlueReefTank]

Great idea Aaron!

[@paranorman1646]

i wanna see some flow in the tank maybe some frogspawn or torch corals or even hammer would be nice

[@BlueReefTank]

Great idea!

[@Moreysreef]

Some torches or gonis for movement 🤙🏻

[@BlueReefTank]

Great suggestion Jose!

[@reeftheseaforever]

Have you considered adding blue damsels As they eat pest

[@BlueReefTank]

Probably not damsels as they are known to be aggressive towards other fish 😅 Thanks for the suggestion though!

[@reeftheseaforever]

@@BlueReefTank don't sleep on them just get them small. I have 2 yellow tails with 5 other fish no issues. They decimate any pest no chemicals needed

[@BlueReefTank]

@@reeftheseaforever That's good to know. I will try them next time if I see more flatworms :)

[@kwajrod]

With flatworms, you have to treat again after 7-10 days to kill off any of their eggs that have hatched. Flatworm-Exit doesn't kill the eggs.

[@BlueReefTank]

Thanks for the tip! I will keep an eye on my tank over the next week or so

[@Exses3D]

If you don't add anything, will they eventually starve and be eliminated?

[@BlueReefTank]

I am not too sure about that but I heard they can overtake the tank if left untreated 😅

[@marcusreaich08]

What schedule do you use on your ai prime?

[@rohaizalmohamad2092]

Sea hare are a much better algae control than snails in that they do not bump into corals and without the shell , no algae can grow on them . Sea hare are constantly prowling and consuming algae just like snails but would not dislocate corals . I chose them over any snails .

[@BlueReefTank]

I heard they need a lot of algae to survive so I am not sure if my small tank can handle that 😬

[@meinriff2704]

i have this in my tank. my platworms look different. they are transparent. are they harmful? ( Amphiscolops sp.01 )

[@BlueReefTank]

Not a flatworm expert but I just did a bit of google and apparently they prey on copepods! I would probably get rid of them if I plan on keeping copepods eating fish (dragonets, pipefish etc.) www.reeflex.net/tiere/3565_Amphiscolops_sp01.htm

I had to feed my nassarius snails and hermit crabs every couple of days with pellets. Hence why it has high nutrients 😅

[@OceansPiece]

I’ve had acoel flatworms in my system for about 6 months. I’ve been hesitant from dosing flatworm exit to my tank because I have heard horror stories from other people about it killing their fish, corals, bacteria, and other living things in the tank. Plus, I haven’t noticed anything bad happen because of them (but you never know) Also wanted to mention, I have a KZbin channel that’s inspired by your channel and a few other channels and it would make my day if you checked it out.

[@uuncebret]

Yes, it will also kill bacteria.. some corals will be stressed like blastomussa, you'll be surprised this flatworms in all over corals like zoas, blasto, euphyllia, crawling on their tissue, and the treatment will took 2 times, some annoying fw will need more drops.. after treatment your tank much likely a new cycling tank..some brown algae will appears, so I'm threatening this with dosing bacteria, wc more often..btw I don't see any harm in fishes..

[@vinodnair3977]

How to care Green anemone in the tank..need advice

[@BlueReefTank]

Hey Vinod, I'd recommend to make sure that your water parameters are stable and as long as you have a good lighting, it should do well. And you can occasionally feed them a range of food such as anemone pellets and shrimps. Goodluck!

[@ralphparker122]

How did the flatworms get introduced into this tank?

[@mrneveradullmoment]

He said snails.

[@peterpan4641]

You dont use as skimmer?
