As always thanks for watching and for your kind words 👌🏻👍🏻🙌🏻

If you mean manganese it is difficult to judge as ICP’s struggle to measure it. I usually dose about 5ml per week and I get a low reading on an ICP. I could dose more as you would have to dose a large amount to overdose and I believe if you dose too much then it precipitates. I also dose All for Reef which contains minor elements and also do water changes of about 20% each week so all elements are topped up.

@@fishpalace can you share your tank water capacity?

100litres or 25 gallons. I do have a large Goni and 2 small Goni’s

Thanks for watching paul, appreciate it 👌🏻

Thanks for watching and hope your well. Totally get doser only 👌🏻🙌🏻👍🏻

Thanks Jay. It is probably the best looking tank I have had where so many corals are thriving. Loving it. All about routine and keeping on top of it, which you have done for years 🙌🏻

I think your right, time to improve sound 👌🏻

Thanks for sharing. So I am not alone dating manually as it is often frowned upon 💪. Much easier to do in a smaller tank as we are dealing ing with small amounts of dosing

Thanks for watching. I have kit sitting there waiting to be set up too but now closed down that tank so will sit there until the next venture 😡

@@adamwright2477 Red Sea test kit but also low on an ICP, within 25 of one another

@ tank looks mint

Thanks for watching. AFR imo is a brilliant product and adds what your corals need. Short term I think you can manually dose but longer term it is much easier to set up a doser and let it do it’s thing As for an ATO I would say get one. The Red Sea 3:1 is great as it also acts as a tank monitor for temp and a leak detector too. I uploaded a video to review this product when I first got it and also did a 12 month review.

​@fishpalace I just had a look at the red sea ATO, they do look really cool but I don't think that corner magnet bracket it comes with would work in my nano unfortunately 😢 I was thinking about the Tunze nano 3 ATO

🤣🤣🤣. I think they are still on for all 3 tanks. Thanks for watching 🙌🏻

@@MJSGHK thanks for watching. Acrylic is stronger than glass so went for that option. As for sticking to wall it depends on what you are sticking it too. Mine is acrylic onto a plastic weir so not an issue. Acrylic onto a glass weir would have been an issue as using the adhesive I did would not bind the 2 together.

My understanding is that some Zoas can release palytoxins therefore I do not take the risk with any, just in case.

Thanks for watching and great choice 👌🏻

Thanks for watching 🙌🏻. Am I right in saying DD is 6 foot and RSR 625 is 5 foot. Both good choices although the DD is rock solids and will weigh a tonne and then some 😳

Thanks Paul. Easy to make as such a great tank 👌🏻

Thanks Jay. That 8 foot tank at Aquah was a beast and whilst Jill would def want one it ain’t happening. 😳🫣. The T-shirt will be making more guest appearances 🤣🤣

Great video, where can we get the t-shirt ?? 😁

For sure. If you are looking for a well built tank that will last the rest of time and you want a shallower looking tank then the 900 and 1200 is the perfect tank

Crimbo present from daughter in law although the boys and Jill are not overly enthused by it so gets plenty of use 😎👌🏻💪.

🙌🏻 it does speak for itself and a tank that is hugely overlooked in UK

The Red Sea legs 😡. So difficult to level with unadjustable feet

Thanks for watching. Does what it says on the tin and more 👌🏻💪

@@WhatTheCluckChickens thanks for watching and for your kind words 👌🏻

@@adamwright2477 it is a top product and your corals will love the addition of minor elements. IMO it adds colour touch your coral 👌🏻

@ 👍🏻 can you add redsea kh alongside all for reef? Cheers

Thanks for watching. So far so good 🤞🏻

So far only the Goni has suffered and the rest seem ok although you can get a delayed reaction. Totally agree with reagent degrading although mine don’t last more than 6 months or so as I test 3 tanks weekly 🤷‍♂️. Thanks for watching

I have done that before but not on this occasion for this tank. Once RZ had double checked my results I was ok with that. Since then I have tested with 2 different home test kits and getting consistent results so I am ok with where the tank is now

@@ReefRondo thanks Ron 🙏🏻. It is full of twists and turns along with stuff that you stumble across after being years in the hobby. Whilst it is a pain I ❤️ this hobby despite the 💩

Thanks. There is always some obstacle that comes at you when you least expect it, especially when you have been in the hobby for a while and did not expect reagent to go off but when you look back it is obvious. Use it 3 times a week, exposed to air and I put unused back into the container. 😢🤷‍♂️

@@NorfolkReefer thanks for watching 👌🏻 a few reefers I know use hanna but like you say for me would be ongoing cost. I am happy with using Red Sea and NYOS as a back up. I should have spotted the spike in the alk and done an ICP or double checked the reading earlier but hey hindsight 🙌🏻.

@@fishpalace We live and learn!! Use what your used to, especially around cost but regular ICP are only a good thing confirming what we think is going on or a isolating a potential issue we can't test for !

That’s a fair point as I asked my LFS to test ALK too as a 2nd opinion. Not done that before but gives you peace of mind. Thanks for watching

I usually dose about 5ml per week but I will increase to 1ml per day as added an additional large Goni

@ Thank you for answering. I asked you because of goniopora which I have. I have some problems but with only one of 3 I have. The red one. I thought that AFR will deliver everything or almost everything but not. AFR works better then others balling. Corals look happier. Thank you very much. Ps. Sorry for my english 😂

@ ask away. AFR is great until you have a coral that feeds more on one element hence the need to dose other minor elements. Your English is 👌🏻

Thanks for watching. Who knows with any test kit especially as we pay £20 to £30 and run our tanks on them although I have trusted them for 10 years and been good until now. That is why i asked Jose to double check. I now have a nyos and Red Sea so I can double check and as long as they are similar I will be happy with that

@@fishpalace same I have a Hanna and a salifert to double cross a dodgy reading. I certain can vouch for when reagent is close to end of bottle to just throw it and get a new reagent bottle as the readings go abit AWOL with Hanna. Salifert I never get towards end of bottles to confirm as for £10 I would rather replace on a yearly basis. I agree but I also when I get a random icp result with no actual issue within my tank I will certainly query it. I also had a very suspicious icp reading on salinity once. Again I'm glad at this point I didn't panic. Seemed weird alot of my levels were good but salinity tested low. Alot of people would panic and add salt. Icp lab said they had a issue and issued a free icp to retest so I couldn't knock that 👍

It is sooooo easy to knee jerk when you spot something or even worse do a number of things. Nothing wrong with questioning an ICP and to be fair reef Zlements were on it quickly to confirm an accurate reading. This hobby is a bloody minefield 🫣

Thanks for watching. With 3 tanks and £1 per test I have stayed away from Hanna due to cost. this is my first test kit issue in the 10 years and I think I have now resolved as getting consistent results with nyos and Red Sea Alk test kit. Good idea 👌🏻🙌🏻

My LFS said don’t buy a Hanna unless you’re colour blind! Cost and inaccuracy apparently

@@troubleshooting114hanna by far better than most phos test kits.

@@troubleshooting114 100% correct not bad for phosphate

@@fishpalace Hanna Alk reagent cost £8 for 25 tests .. wouldn’t use anything else

You can shorten it but they say you shouldn’t extend it beyond the length received. I think it is 9 foot long but I am not 100% sure

Tha ms for watching and yep there is a lot to take in when starting a saltwater aquarium. If you have any questions then you can message me on Instagram 👍🏻

Thanks for watching. Always easier when you can see how to do something. 👌🏻

Thanks for watching Jay and no need to apologise as I know how busy you are 👌🏻

Thanks for watching. I really struggled with this tank starting with dead rock and sand. Has taken a long long time to get it where I want it. Take a look at my last video as tank is now where I want it to be 👌🏻👍🏻

@@revZ098 thanks for watching. I have both and never givin it a thought but just had a look and get what you mean 😢

Thanks for watching 💪👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻

Thanks for watching and your kind words. The AI Nero 3 magnet is safe to use in saltwater and when i clean the powerhead I check to make sure all ok. Fits snugly just under the return nozzle 👌🏻🙌🏻

Probably the number 1 thing you need in this hobby. Thanks for watching 🙌🏻

Thanks for watching Jay. How often have we said on livestreams be patient but also regular maintenance 👌🏻👍🏻

Thanks for watching. It was only after I had looked back at the video from 3 months ago that I realised how much better the rockwork, sand and corals looked. One of the reasons why I make these videos as a great journal

Thanks for the ❤️, appreciate it 👌🏻

Thanks for watching and for your kind words. I have not fragged an alveopora before but always a first time

I would say about 4 inches or 10 cm’s. Thanks for watching

@@junietisdale1074 thanks for watching 🙌🏻 and your kind words 👌🏻

I think there’s a lot more to it then that 😂

@ I agree there is other stuff you need to do such as good husbandry, make sure your salinity is 1.025 and keep parameters stable but this can be a simple hobby and the 3 tips work for me in this tank. Thanks for watching

@fishpalace no problem. I'm actually a horticulturist, so that is something that interests me even though not really a plant

A lot of corals show similar behaviour in terms of light, nutrition and competing for space with other plants when they grow out

Many thanks for watching and for your kind words. Fantastic, your first reef tank 🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Message me on Instagram if you need to discuss anything 👌🏻
