@@paulsmith744 thanks for the comment. The UV is not the best but works for me as I leave it alone. I should probably change the bulb. Red sea products are ok but overpriced so plenty of alternatives

@@bencedeak9609 yeah it is 150cm x 61cm x 61cm

@@fatttymcladThank you! 🫡

@@New_Zealand_rugby the big green one is green star polyp (known as GSP) started from a 1cm square piece. Nice to see another rugby fan!

@@fatttymclad it looks lovely is it reliant on good light what do you feed it. Yes the family love the rugby

@@New_Zealand_rugby just whatever is in the water, been lazy with water changes and all my soft coral seem to grow well. I tried it a few times lower down and this time I put it high so it gets lots of flow and light and it's gone mad

@@fatttymclad ye look great and grown well from when I did one of your other videos going in to town tomorrow see if they have any and gonna get a pulsing Xenia

@@Zokkii it has been in like a year and still seems to work fine. I need to change the bulb but moving house soon so will do it then. Might even plumb the tank return through the uv

@@bullet7866 PTFE is always a good idea I find. Also just trying to get the screw perfectly aligned before tightening

@@fatttymclad Thank you for your message I just rang TMC they are going to send out a seal kit replacement. I didn’t use the PTFE tape but I will give it go as they are sending out a replacement seal kit I have aligned it up so many times but it’s not having it won’t stop leaking. Seal is not cracked the thread on the pipe all good.

Hi, it's 5ft x 2ft x 2ft

I would highly recommend them, my brother has just got some as well. For the price I don't think they can be beaten as the closest competition was around £100 more per light by the time you get the brackets as well

⁠@@fatttymcladthanks for the reply i have just ordered the same tank in white coming in June I have the reef flare bar atm but didnt realise it was blues only I like some white in my lights personally the maxspects can been changed to white right? Hopefully I can sell my old tank to raise the funds for these lights 😁

@@fatttymclad I have just ordered those lights mate 😁👍🏻

Yeah my purple was a bit of an arse. That one has now died for now apart reason but was fat an no signs of bullying or disease. I am moving house this year so will introduce one when I redo the tank

Hi, unfortunately I found it dead a few weeks ago. No apparent reason, as it was eating well and swimming around well with no signs of disease. I will try again with another as I don't think I did anything wrong, it was just one of those things. I am potentially moving house so not putting anything new in until after that to save on aggression and risk of loosing stuff etc

@@fatttymclad I’m sorry man. I’m fighting the same thing with one right now myself and refuses to eat everything I throw at it.

Try the paste and brine as it worked really well for me, also if you can get live copepods or brine etc they will happily go through the tank eating that. Also aptasia was good, I had mine for like a year until it died but not sure how old it was and how long they live, but might not have been that

@@fatttymclad yup. Ive already tried blood worms, mastick, brine, and copepods. He certainly goes around eating those all day. He was eating live brine but the last couple days now all he does is spit it back out. I’ve got black worms on order so I went to the LFS today and picked up a bunch of pods so hopefully that’ll hold him over. Dude literally swims though a cloud of brine shrimp and looks at me like where’s my food lol

Yeah I am potentially moving house this year and I am changing my job so should hopefully be able to collect and store enough to go back to natural

@@fatttymclad ahh nice one! It’s definitely the way to go. I never stored it (stupidly) as I thought it might go bad or something 😅 but this time I’ll fill a few 20l jugs. I only have a 20g so that’ll keep me going for months. Good luck mate!

Cheers

Yeah I need to dig one out next time I am faffing in the sump

Yeah I am really liking it. I cleaned it out yesterday and adjusted the flow to clean the sanded better

Yeah they are doing well , I have had a few of them 4 years now. Great cheap fish

Hi, not sure if they eat frozen and pellet but I would imagine they do. I feed mine on frozen but I have an auto feeder put a tiny bit it twice a day to make sure the fish get on. It doesn't seem to eat huge amounts so wouldn't have thought it would make a lot of waste

Thanks, it's called Phils Corals facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063496815685

Yeah I put some leathers in that are growing well so quite happy to let them all grow out and add more mushrooms and other softies

Yeah it works really well. New they come with a flex pipe for easy installation but mine is hard plumbed. Could be a pig to change the roll if it goes all the way through so I just staple the new roll onto the end of the current one and pull it through

@@fatttymclad in that case its either this or the clarisea gen 3 🤔🤔, i like the reefmat but its just to big lol

I would look at what has enough capacity and what will fit. Would be worth looking up some more reviews for them. I am sure either would be fine

@@fatttymclad i am making my own sump i have already cut my baffles out as it was a sock style sump and will never use the ato so customising it as I type lol, si either will fit but i just want to try have enough room left for a skimmer section, small ref section and then my return section but also want best value lol. Its hard 🤣🤣

Yeah I might do at some point but the little lifter part doesn't bother me. Was more info for people about to buy that tank that they might have to do something about it

Yes mate I do. I know a lot of people really love the kessil but for the money these are great

I usually just collect it and let it settle for a day. I am also on. Orth Kent coast. If you want to just buy natural water then Phil's corals in Margate sells it

@@fatttymclad brilliant info thank you. I'm also on north coast of Kent myself and about to just set up my first marine tank and was in 2 minds if to use sea water.

Hi, it's a bubble megas one and it's suitable for tanks up to 600l. It's pretty big in the sump

Thanx buddy

What is your tank size?

Is it bubble magus ARF 1(size-large)

It's a 5ft X 2f5 X 2ft tank. Book says 425l on top and 75ish in the sump. Yeah I thinking it's the mark 1 large. I got it second hand in my local shop

Mine got a bit hassled by my purple tang but I saw no aggression from my regal tang when I added it

Could you have it in a bedroom?

Once you get the pipes tuned with the return pump they are very quiet. I have mine in the living room and I have slept int there a few times. I would say more noise comes from the return pumps and skimmer etc than the pipes

Great video.. what have you got sticking out of your skimmer?

A big system like that then the ATO putting some extra water in wouldn't matter as it never does in mine. It would all depend on the flow rate for if it's big enough. Only ever used this roller so not sure how other ones would perform

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks. I am sure I have heard maroons can be aggressive, my brother had some and they got territorial over his nem

They are great, seem to grow things well. Got a bit noisier then when first brought but it's just because I need to clean them out

I cycled the tank with natural sea water and some Dr Tim's and put the fish in the tank within a couple of days of it being set up as the previous tank cracked. I have gone away from the natural for a bit as I did a big water change and the parameters were different but I am planning to do a mix of natural and mixed together to make sure the salinity is right

I run about 40% yellows and one of the blue channels has white light in it but still looks blue on camera so I had a DD lense on the phone. Makes the video pretty much match how it looks to the eye

I will post up video going through my settings in the next couple of days

The tank is 2ft X 2ft X 5ft and lights are around 10 or 11 inches off the surface

I think adding them together and regular food. I feed frozen in the evening but have some flakes or pellets go in at 9am and 9pm. Also I am a fan of swimming room for the fish

I liked the idea of going pro with sps but unless you have loads of cash or loads of time it's very hard to do

Yup, just make sure they never find out how much you spend

It's 5ft X 2ft X 2ft. Spec sheet says 425l on top without rockwork etc. I have the Maxspect jump 165leds 2 of them. Might be a bit under what I need for a 5ft but with careful coral placement they work well
