I have only found this channel in the last few days and i havent stopped watching. Unreal work guys keep it up!
That’s great to hear😊 Thanks so much for watching! Cam
It’s taken me a while, but I’m finally starting to understand the appeal of these gorgeous, colourful acrylic sumps. Those lids on almost every section - that alone makes me want one. That sump you just put in is beautiful! 👍🏻👍🏻
Really love your videos. Very practical, self explanatory and no over the top stuff. Thank you guys
Thank you for watching. We’ve got some great content lined up for the next few months which we can’t wait to upload. Cam
Great sump video . Thanks for taking the time to make these videos when I know it slows you down from getting your work done. It's appreciated 😊👍
Thanks Rick. It can be difficult sometimes to stop and film these jobs. When I get on a roll I like to keep going until the job is done, however I do enjoy doing the videos and hope to keep doing them for a long time to come. Cam
Beautiful. Just shows you can have a great looking tank with mostly easy to keep soft corals. Another expert installation from Cam too.
You guys make the most epic videos! Subscribed from Houston, TX US. Keep up the strong work guys! 💪🏼 🔥😉
Awesome, thanks so much! Cam
One of the two best channels on youtube about marine aquariums!
Thanks so much for the encouragement! We hope to keep getting better😊 We certainly have some great unique content on the horizon... Cam
Outstanding approach to your task and towards us viewers! You are very brave and knowledgeable... Excellent service-business concept. Thank you!
Thanks mate😊
Awesome modification enjoyed watching
Thanks so much! We have a few more similar jobs we’ll be filming coming up in the next few weeks so stay tuned😊 Cam
Nice work love that sump
Thanks Daniel😊 Cam
great video again, great content.. I would like to see a video on dosing in the future especially on a tank like that one with softies and LPS
We totally have that planned in the next few weeks. We kinda forgot to cover the dosing on “Epic Tanks no. 1” so the plan is to go back and look at the dosing in detail. Cam
Great video, I just purchased the same ATO and should be in the mail when I get home.
I been using them heaps lately, very reliable and neat little units. Cam
Hey Cam, great video mate, I used to have the Aqua Reef 300, great tank but the sump as good as it was had a major let down and yeah you’ve guessed it was the G220 skimmer, I hated that thing... seemed no matter what I did to it, it either flooded the cup continually or the noise it made really got annoying. I got rid of it to the tip, and replaced it with a BM Curve 5, much better and efficient. It’s a shame really that even though Aquaone do great aquariums but then let them down with poor equipment to run them... but hey as you well know us reefers will spend spend spend on bigger and better equipment to make the aquarium go better... lol I’ve stopped adding it up, and least of all dread telling the wife that I need something else 😂👍👍
I’ve always been into the idea of buying the Aquareef for the tank, then changing all the componentry. It just happens that this is the first one that I’ve installed an acrylic sump into, however we already have an order for a new AR400 with a Hmahli sump that we’ll film in the next few weeks😊 Cam
Seriously... Stick to it... This is a top 3 youtube channel for marine aquariums... And its only getting better... I like every single video. and sub on multiple accounts. STICK TO IT!
Thanks Joseph, that really means a lot to us😊 We certainly hope to keep the videos coming, in fact we have so much potential content coming up in the near future the hard part is going to be deciding what NOT to film. Cam
Seriously tho cam you deserve a million subscribers this is absolutely the most informative and exciting content I’ve ever found on the reefing and saltwater hobby
GREAT VIDEO 👊👍
Thanks, appreciate it😊
Nice
Waited till the end to see the color change
Seems so lush there in Australia hope I can visit someday.
We’re pretty lucky here in Australia, and Brisbane and the Gold Coast is particularly lush😊
Dobra robota mam nadzieję za kiedyś odwiedzę Australię i Was 👍
jatoja22s Dziękujemy bardzo. Fajnie! Australia jest piękny kraj, myślimy że napewno by się Tobie podobało!
Nice video thank you for sharing. If that sleeve on your main drain doesn’t workout, hard plumbing a proper union might be better. 👍
I would definitely have used a union if I could, it seems the Aquareef drain pipe is not a standard we use here in Australia unfortunately. Cam
Why not a union or coupling to extend the feed line to the sump with hard tube?
great sump I need to chat to you about one for my redsea reefer 525 xl
I’d love to be involved in a custom sump for a RSR525 XL😊
Loving the work. Those sumps look the part. Instead of metal hose clamps check out a product called "plasclip" (you can find them online). Plastic hose clamps that are ultra strong, don't rust and are cheap.
I use plastic hose clamps on 13mm and 16mm tubing, but haven’t seen them in the other size tubing I use. I’ll check out those ones, I’d love something better. Cam
@@GalleryAquaticaTV - these worm drive clamps go from something like 15mm all the way through to 200mm - you hand pull the tail through, insert the worm drive screw and tighten. Very versatile.
I just looked them up, EXACTLY what I need. I’ll use them in the first video after they arrive😊 Thanks for the tip!
Great video.
Sorry for asking but what is a good Australian saltwater aquarium forum? Im looking to start a saltwater aquarium next year, Gallery Aquatica TV has great information but i dont think it's the best place to ask questions and have an in depth convertion.
The biggest Facebook page is Marine Aquarium Fanatics Australia. Cam
@@GalleryAquaticaTV thank you
If the chiller takes from the return section and returns to the skimmer section. Then you will have in efficient cooling as the cool water goes almost straight back into the return section. Is it not better to go Vectra to chiller to tank return? You can then get rid of the chiller pump that adds heat to the water. You dial the Vectra to the perfect flow. This is how I have run all my previous chilled tanks ina very hot country!
You can definitely run the return through the chiller, however I prefer a dedicated chiller pump. The main reason is that the optimal flow through the chiller is generally far less than what you’d want for your return. Also I like being able to keep the chiller going and water moving through the sump whilst I do the service. Cam
Where did you get that sump
I have a Red Sea 250 65 gallons is that one you will fit into my tank??
This sump is a custom Hmahli acrylic sump. You would want to have one custom built to suit your requirements. Cam
The clear sleeve..is that large tubing? I like that just because you can see if a snail clogged.
It’s (soft) CVT. I sometimes use clear rigid, but in this case the soft tubing was the only option that fit. Cam
@@GalleryAquaticaTV Fantastic. I want to add it just for the viewing panel.
I like it 🤤
Thanks Patrick😊 Cam
Hot damn I love this upload schedule!
Good question, flexible hoses are easier. I prefer to hard plumb drains mainly because it’s neater, and it easily allows for dismantling when barrel unions are used. Cam
@@GalleryAquaticaTV Yeah I was curious, why the extender on the drainage line instead of gluing in some hard pipe?
It was easier than trying to find the exact same size pipe. I don’t think the Aquareef 400 drain pipe is a standard Australian pipe size.
@@GalleryAquaticaTV oh okay, thanks. So there's not more noise or anything liket hat in flexible hoses? (I only have all in one tanks, so I've never tried the plumbing part of the hobby yet)
@@GalleryAquaticaTV Ah I gotcha. Never used those before. Interesting. Keep up the good work!
What happened to Mr Tangs dorsal????
👍👊
What about all the biological media. Wont that crash levels. Dam. I'd put a 2x4 brace closer to right side, you guys are nuts. I'd be scared shitless removing that brace with all that salt creep. My heart is skipping beats. Sumps are such a biological creature it's so nice to see people exposing them.
Are you in the u.s.?
We are in Brisbane Australia😊
Wtf happened to that yellow tang
It was attacked by a deranged blue tang in a previous tank. I can’t believe no one else has mentioned it😂
@@GalleryAquaticaTV fair enough, hope its all healed up. Just stumbled upon your channel (doing an ea reef pro 1200 build soon). Pretty cool guys. Not alot of channels like this, watching your vids kinda makes wonder why there isn't. New sub from me guys, keep the vids coming 👍
Particularly like the vids you do on what you might call the more common tanks such as your reefer 250s and 350s etc. Lots of little things I'm picking up which are more applicable to your average reefer like me and interesting to see what you guys do with maintenance, spruce ups, aquascaping etc using tanks more people can afford.
Your average reefer, I've think you've just given myself a great idea for a channel 🤣.
Really good guys keep it up 👍
Thanks Sam, that’s great feedback. We work on heaps of “average reef tanks” so you’ll definitely see more of them in future😊 Cam PS the Yellow Tang is definitely all healed and otherwise a perfectly healthy specimen, however she will never compete in another beauty competition.
Nice
Thanks Bala😊
