There are many ways to maintain a reef tank. What works for one hobbyist may not work for another. I will be following along to see how this progresses and wish you the best. I’m an old time reefer. 43 years as a hobbyist. I typically don’t post comments on forums, but will say thats alot of product on hand. Over the years I’ve learned not to chase numbers. From my experiences performing regular water changes with a good quality salt mix helps with the other elements. As long as Ca, Alk, Mg are in their acceptable ranges the other elements should fall into place. Wishing you the best!

Great insight as to what I will have to prepare myself for eventually… 5 months in with a display tank a week away from receiving my pair of clowns from my QT… diatoms coming and going so waiting longer before starting with soft coral options… Loving my hermit crabs, 1 blue legged and 2 Halloween plus a conch who is an interesting creature…. Fish out of QT then new fish in QT… The dosing seems a tall ladder to climb on the learning to application, but you grappling with it makes it seem a possible and doable mission to take on… Thanks for your videos… ; )

Hey man, love the channel and I’ve been a subscriber for a while now! My question is, why so much dosing when you’re corals aren’t really that demanding. You have amazing gear and knowledge, you should definently give a harder effort at SPS! In my personal opinion, you’re putting way too much effort and money with “beginner” level corals. With the same effort, you’ll grow beautiful SPS colonies just fine. Thank you for everything you’ve taught us and wish to see you continuing to evolve the channel and your reefing skills. Ohh and please organize you’re corals more. I respect your style, but everything seems so scrambled. Lots of love man, will continue watching for a long time to come!

Go for it, I run 2 nanos and both are super simple to deal with. Watch "Reef Builders" 1 day nano set-up. Only thing I do to my Reef Nano is 20% water change weekly and Amino Acid dosing.... Other is more a Macro Algae tank and it gets dosed with freshwater plant products and just a 10% water change monthly when i clean out the filter. Truthfully probably dont need to do water changes on the reef tank but I just enjoy it.

@@tranquilwaters917 So for a nano reef tank, are water changes super necessary? Im really just wanting a simple tank with a couple clownfish, a shrimp, and a couple corals, just basic stuff, and sense you have experience how much does it typically cost to start one initially and how much does it cost to maintain it on a monthly basis??
