Unfortunately, I have had to shut down the Red Sea Reefer 350 but I have set up a new 45cm x 45cm x 45cm sumped nano reef tank in its place. In this video, I explain why the Reefer 350 was shut down and show you how far I got with it. I then also show the new nano reef tank and discuss the channel going forward.
Are higher End Protein Skimmers Worth It

In this video, I compare a Deltec DC Protein skimmer to a Bubble Magus AC protein skimmer. As you will see the quality of the plastic and construction is worse on the Deltec than the bubble Magus but the performance of the Deltec is better due to its more powerful pump.

An update on the progress of the Red Sea Reefer 350. Things have gone from bad to worse. The tank was infested with Dinoflagellates so I dosed Dino x to combat this. The Dino x worked but it also appears to have damaged a lot of my corals and generally upset the tank.

Welcome to The Opinionated Reefer, An introduction to me and my reefing journey so far.
I would love advice on getting my tank back upto scratch I just think it looks shit lol
Hi. I’m looking to import fish myself. Do you acclimate them or bring up to temp and release straight into the tank ? Thanks Terry
I just bought my uv to start this battle thanks and i hope it will helps to get rid of
I may be wrong on this, but I think this is intended to address algae in the water column, not algae growth on surfaces.
Buenas tardes for Acuarium 130 gal what side need?or watts need?
Thx!
Just found your channel recently. John, has your set up been created for the purpose of selling on/fragging or just purely for your own enjoyment? Either way fantastic set up. Good luck to the both of you going forward.
Nice. Subscribed
Brilliant 👏
Nice 👌
So nice when a shipment arrives good , some lovely specimens there too, all seem settled really well, see you on the next video .
Love everything Scottish and reefing so this must be the best channel on RUclips
Amazing set Will play a lot of sweat and tears if whent it the set up will done guys Andy the electricity bill in the house will be crazy 😂
Brilliant Andy and John looking forward for the content.
Looking forward to future content.
Stunning set up guys. Great introduction to the channel Looking forward to picking up tips as just back into hobby a couple of months after a 30yr break. The equipment and technology these days is amazing. I was confused when you said your salinity in the new section was 0.026. Did I hear right? All the best
Love it it’s gonna look amazing when it’s full well done 👌
Looking good John , nice to see it up and running
Wow what a system , so unusual too & defo a stand out one compared to our normal square/ rectangle boxes most of us keep. Will John be shipping corals within the U.K./ England please? Ross is a great guy too, always was happy to help out & answer questions, hopefully he’ll be back one day soon. Good luck guys, look forward to the next video 👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼 .
Hi will be yes 😊
Grateful to you guys for sharing your knowledge, also great to see a local channel. Keep up the great work.
Well done guys good start to the channel keep it up.
Excellent, I’ll keep on watching when content is released. 👍🏼
Looking good John, well done bud - what a set up, cant wait to see it all finished and stocked up. Not a bad effort for the first video also! Keep it up lads!
Love the video, known John for a good few years, guys one of the most helpful reefers I know, I'm glad you've set this up because now I have my regular go to guy for stunning corals! 👍👍👍
Great video, was down getting some corals off John. Exactly what Scotland needs someone who is reasonable with coral pricing and full of knowledge. Will definitely be back getting more Zoas and Torches very shortly. 🎉 great first video
Great first video as a rebrand. Always watched your old videos. Good luck going forward hope to lots of content. Good to see fellow scottish reefers creating content . Even if yous are from falkirk 😂😂😂
Thanks mate. Yeah I'm from Falkirk, John's in Whitburn
Amazing can't believe our first video 😍
When i had dinos, i had 70 ppm nitrates LOL
👌
Your right I started with caribsea, then real reef and it was dry upon delivery and then back to Cari sea with a UV sterilization all tanks start with Dino and then go to cyano using red sea nano wither LED 50 do I need a different light source and live rock from the ocean ? I'm just about done with the hobby 😢
The light is fine, what you need is to add a small bit of live rock to seed the rest and if you have dinos a powerful uv should sort that.
Is it good for 13.5 Gallon Tank?
Yes
Will my g6 blue grow sps in my nano I hear the par is low
I imagine it will grow them in a nano no problem
I used dino x and killed 17 fish lps corals look terrible this was last night I dosed it and by the morning all dead
does dino x kill inverts?
Not generally but perhaps of it get to out of control it could
@@TwoScottishReefers what do you think a kind of brownish rust colored scum on the sand would be? not much on the glass or the rocks, its mostly confined to the sand
@@xisotopex either dinos or diatoms
What is the volume of the tank?
Around 90 liters. It's only a 45cm qube
Cube 🤣
Great update 👌💯🔥✌️
Which ro system do you use and how do you keep your water clean
Just a standard 4 stage Ro unit and I do weekly 10% water changes
I caught one of my favias sending out like 2 inch sweepers at night. Luckily no warfare yet
That’s quite a lot of a setup for a nano, why not have something bigger? No room?
That's a down grade from a bigger set up. The reason is the cost of electricity in Uk. I had a reefer 350 but couldn't afford to keep running it. Check out my other videos to see it.
This fish tank without the hood and rim looks retarded. I don't like it
You don't really get reef tanks with a hood anymore.
Tank looks great.
Thanks ❤
Fantastic video, the corals and thriving. I really like the placement. Couldn't agree more the Gen 5 blue Radion is a great light. What sand did you use? Thumbs up 👍
It's ocean direct live sand. Very natural looking.
Looking great! Do the different damsel species get on okay?
Ah, I see the black and white one is a chromis.
@@so_so_reefyeah but they still bicker but nothing to bad. The Royal Grammer is the bully of the tank.
Your view on old live rock is incorrect. While it had biodiversity, much of it was dead (due to transportation etc). You had to cycle it yourself to deal with the decomposition of the dead organisms. You still got dinos and cyano btw - it's all part of the process. It certainly wasn't an instant cycled tank ready for lps/sps!
It was an instant cycle if you got cured live rock. Your taking about rock straight off the boat.
@@TwoScottishReefers Apart from a greater chance of hitchhikers, what would be the difference between this and buying dry rock that had been cured by the LFS in their holding tanks?
@thehistoriclegion7396 none really, if you can buy that then your basically buying a form of cured live rock. Not many LSF I know of do that these days. When I say insta cycle I mean ready foe fish and easy coral not necessarily sps.
@@TwoScottishReefers So basically given that we can cycle a tank now in a matter of days (Dr Tims one and only , ATM Colony etc.), the older style live rock offers no benefit over dry live rock?
@thehistoriclegion7396 I wouldn't say that. The bacteria in Dr Tim's is no where near the same as the bacteria you would get from actual live rock. Plus all the other biodiversity that comes on live rock.
English version pl
I'm a native English speaker
After years having reefs, no. You adjust PAR, yes the intensity of light. DONT do a WC till its over. Thank me later.
Can you advise please? I have had sand dwelling dinoflagalettes that I have receded completely, providing the lights are off. These are non dimmable T8 styled LED replacements, very basic. Would you suggest switching them on for a short period, and increasing the photo period over a few weeks? I definitely think light triggers them to bloom. I have dosed bacterial sludge cleaners and ran a low powered UV, both I think helped, but the lights are definitely still a trigger.Would you agree and what are your thoughts/ sugestions for a novice reefer? Thanks :)
pretty opinionated dont ya think? lol Just kidding, great video man. Happy holidays!
I think you are correct. I had reef tanks back in the day when everyone sold real live rock and coral pieces, not frags on plugs. Never had the ugly stage. Fast forward to last couple of years I’m back in the hobby again and I’ve set up 5 tanks; I tried fake rock twice and both times was a disaster; I actually tore one tank down and started over. The other three tanks I started with Ocean Direct sand a real live rock and no ugly stage.
Yeah it's definitely the way to go
Tank looked amazing! What strategy did you use to turn it around after the flatworm issue? Pull and dip everything repeatedly? Or just baste and live with them?
The flatworms seemed to only attack certain Acropora and leave others alone. In the end I started dosing some aewf x that was supposed to help and I just pulled and dipped the ones that were worst effected. Ultimately I only managed to save frags of the ones they had a taste for and I shut the tank down while dipping all frags regularly for weeks that got moved to the new tank. That wiped out the worms.
I hope you’re right . Interestingly years ago I ran a tmc uv system. On my power filter since some of the old books said that uv light levels on the reef helped sterilise the water and reduce plankton blooms. . Obviously at see blooms surface at night from the depths. And that can’t happen in a closed system , thanks for your advice. It makes sense.
