I don’t have this system set up any longer as I moved, but it worked well! Good luck with the build

@6jdhd I have personally never heard of other companies doing this where you can literally automatically download your exact local solar/lunar cycle for your region, anywhere in the world, and mimic this down to .01 % of lighting for the lunar dark cycles. They might be doing something similar, but not to that extent.

@@AquaristExhibit Yes echotech has this. It's a hidden feature and got exposed when Spawning coral started happening and everyone wanted to know how they were doing this. So one breeder posted a video on how to get this feature activated on mobis

I believe Reefi also has this feature

I don’t have this tank any longer :)

@@AquaristExhibitwhy tho

@@killswitch0sama I have a brand new 5’ custom tank coming in a couple weeks. Stay tuned for some more videos about the new build!

That same system is not installed anymore as I have moved from that house unfortunately.

@@AquaristExhibit oh. That's unfortunate. No plans to hop back to the project?

@@macrick I’m starting a whole new system which I am going to start a series of videos on very soon actually. In the next week or so!!

Terrific!!! @@AquaristExhibit

@@macrick will definitely be hopping back in, just a whole new project. First video incoming within the next week or so! Stay tuned

Thanks for the comment! You can buy switches that automatically turn off the pump when topping off is done, or alternatively you can use an reef controller like GHL. I just put more pressure back into the supply water than it runs at so it backs up into the city system

Yes 100%

Thanks so much, I really wanted it to look natural as possible but still something that works for the fish and corals. I’ll actually be doing another one soon! Stay tuned!

Ha! Sorry tim

Not quite sure yet. Is being installed currently

Stay tuned for pt.2 where I have it installed 🤓

@@AquaristExhibit will definitely do.

Yes I was, it was a little tight, but with a 3D printed pedestal, I was easily able to mount the clarisea sk5000

@@AquaristExhibit Your build looks awesome. I want to get a redsea reefmat 500 but I’m worried it won’t fit in the first chamber. Which sump size did you choose?

@@kupcake8299 please take a look at my Instagram @aquaristexhibit . Tons of pics and descriptions there, you can also send me a message if you have any questions! Thanks for the support!

I typically feed PE mysis and PE calanus

Got it from Orphek! I really like their products!

@Aquarist Exhibit was it 300 or so Usd?

Hey thanks so much! Hit like it if you really enjoyed the vid, also, might as well subscribe as I’m gonna be doing another full scape in a short time for my new custom build!

I’m sorry but this was a few tanks ago. If my memory serves me, the pump comes with a couple of different sized adapters, I just downsized until I was able to fit on the stock nozzle.

Hi there, thanks for the comment. I got the adapter at a Canadian reef retailer it’s called reefsupplies. Hope this helps. I’m sure brs has them as well.

I would love to help you out with this but I don’t own this tank anymore. Also, that is a coral, there are no plants in the tank. Sorry

Roughly once every 2 weeks

Please check out my Instagram page for a video of the rock in the tank. Thanks

Please see the light settings video on my channel

not too bad with the built in hood. I think in my region it was somewhere around 1L per day.

Yeah you can do that

Yes,

PlEase see another video in my playlist regarding the use and install of my eshopps skimmer.

Please see another video in my collection that shows the schedule. Thanks

White light is not actually white, but is a “broad spectrum” which includes all wavelengths of the sun, whereas pink is a combination of blue and red, and Red light is not very useable for coral growth.

I think you should be just fine. Be patient. One thing I found with my tank was that some corals never really took off until the tank was more matured. Soft corals should be no problem.

I chose to go with the eshopps nano skimmer and I loved it! I made a video about it and the install. Check it out!

You can call the city water department and ask them how many tds is in the water, also find out if there is bleach, chloramines, chlorine, or other toxins or disinfectants in the water supply. Also you can easily check your own water supply beforehand with a tds meter. When it comes to De ionizing resin beds, I wanted to get the most effectiveness and longevity out of mine, so I opted for 3. A negative charged bead, positive charged bead, and a mixed bead. I typically would always recommend this DI setup as it lasts much longer, extra initial setup is negligible, and nothing can get by.

I utilize a booster pump to increase the pressure in the line, which is higher than the pressure in my house’s plumbing manifold.

Hey there L3, I’m sorry you’re not having any success with your tank and corals. Perhaps there is something not quite right, as every tank is different. Perhaps it’s a flow issue, perhaps it’s the water, or perhaps it’s pests or disease. I actually don’t own this tank anymore but I find consistency is the key. I switch the light schedule up slightly every month to kind of mimic what the days are like in real life. But other than that it’s hard to pin point what might be the issue for you. I truly hope you can get it figured out.

Which tank did you switch to?

I was fortunate enough to learn this beforehand. But the Gen 3 come with the metric and standard adapters

Thanks! I honestly think having a rollermat is the single most helpful, time saving, nutrient removing, clarifying piece of hardware you can add to a reef tank. From here on out, I would never go without one. And I wish I would have used it from the start.

@@AquaristExhibit anything that makes maintenance easier is worth the investment. Maintenance time is the most expensive part of reef-keeping.

@@JonVlogs123 yeah definitely, I would have to agree. I would rather spend more time enjoying the reef than maintaining it.

I plan on raising it once I move, but for now, this is all the noise I can handle haha. Yes! You’re right they come with a North American sized elbow!

What's the difference between the two since it was so worth it ?

@@eraserajm firstly they are literally the same price. Secondly it comes completely built without having to peel protectively paper off 1000 pieces to put together. It comes with a beefier motor and it’s more quiet. It comes with a tool to remove the rolls. The plus that comes out to connect to the power source is a better length. Also comes with “US” standard piping so you don’t have to source a part to use it after getting it. It feels better made more sturdy and less janky. I owned both and wouldn’t ever waste money on a Gen2.

Thanks for the kind words, if you have any suggestions or tips on videos please let me know!

@@AquaristExhibit You’re doing great! Keep it real and you already do.

Can you include the adapter pipe for us !! Not sure why I'd spend so much and then need to go and buy a adapter !

No, I sold my V4 a while back so I could get the updated model ICon when it was available.

@@AquaristExhibit do you like it ? I cant decide between ati straton, red sea reef 160s, or orphek Icon

@@vargagergely152 I do love it, the coverage and the spectrum offering is outstanding. With the dual chip 5w leds and the new variable speed fans, it is much more efficient at heat management enabling considerably longer life for the LEDs. They have also updated the new App to be much more user friendly and also can be controlled from anywhere you have cell service. One thing that is also really cool about the orphek is that the fixture itself is fully upgradable as new hardware and versions are released. IMO it’s the best money can buy. But having said that, I have not used the others you mentioned.

@@vargagergely152 shoot me an email aquaristexhibit@gmail.com

I think around 40-60

Thank you very much sir

It is the L size, and I’ll take a peek for sure, thanks. Mine just has a compact strainer.

@@AquaristExhibit Gen coupe is right-shorten the main drain pipe (or get rid of it, or just put a strainer on it) in overflow box so you get more flow and less/no turbulence in the main drain pipe. Give it a shot and let us know if it worked.

@@MW-ut3dk the main drain only has a strainer on it. The entire length of the main drain piping is only about 2.5’.

I’d second using some 90s on the trickle drain. When I ran bean animal I had 90s on the syphon and trickle drain. Was dead silent

@@Jackal799 I can get it to be dead silent, I just have to adjust it, but I’m thinking it may be the fluctuating water level in the first chamber. I have to do some more further testing to be sure. But I will look into your idea as well. Thank you

thanks !!! I’ll definitely have to look into this, thanks for the tip.

@ketoEDCza I have 4 large trochus in my tank for some time now, and am in the process of adding 5 Nassarius as well as 5 bumblebee. Also the addition of the Blenny. I will be bringing my rollermat online soon as well. Should really take care of it.

@@AquaristExhibit 4 trochus is way too little . My aquarium is much smaller and I have 15+ and also be carefull as bumblebee snails don't play nice, they often hunt and kill other snails and as for nasarius, for your size aquarium I would put 1 or 2 max..

Weekly 5g water changes and I used Polyplab activated carbon replaced monthly. Also used a skimmer.

I have been away at work, and will be installing it soon.

Thanks so much! Appreciate it
