I have just one question for you... WHERE THE HELL WERE YOUR VIDEOS ALL THESE DAYS!!! Loved the video! Had a fowlr tank before but will be setting up a reef tank in a few months hopefully. Loved the video and subscribed as well!

Amazing tank

[@docforestal]

awesome corals on that tank, kudos for doing so well in a nano; love to hear your parameters and testing alk different times - i have not done that - i am just back in after 10 years and hard to find agreed on parameters to shoot for; also hard to test other than manually due to cost;-cheers

[@hcaquaticsreefing]

Thank you 😊. It's been a very exciting journey with this tank after the rescape. Yeah testing always and now keep po4 around 0.1ppm and no3 at 10ppm . More stable now. Hope all goes well with your tank

[@so_so_reef]

Love this scape and acro collection. Are you going for the bonsai look? Looks really great!

[@hcaquaticsreefing]

Thanks 😊

Looks lovely mate! I’m battling GHA and not winning 😢

[@theideaofclips5481]

What’s your nitrate and phosphate? Let me take a guess phosphate zero, nitrate high and climbing ?

[@c3dpo]

@@theideaofclips5481 was the other way around, now both 0 on hanna but assumed the algae is just eating it up? I’m lost been trying to battle it for couple of months with good husbandry but no joy Salt is Red Sea one and used for year and half no issues?

@@c3dpo whats your clean up crew like?

[@hcaquaticsreefing]

@Derek S, hope this gets sorted asap mate. Having GHA can be stressful at times

[@c3dpo]

@@dereks3207 good mix of snails including a couple of giant turbos and a tuxedo urchin. Its so depressing 😢

[@theideaofclips5481]

What salt do you use ?

[@hcaquaticsreefing]

@The idea of clips. Tropic marin pro coral, but havent done a waterchange for a few weeks now

[@spicyreef]

I have not heard of that doser, looks robust?

[@hcaquaticsreefing]

Very good doser based on the Komoer. Allows for adjustments off site too

[@dereks3207]
