Love the hannah Phos, Nitrate, and alk test kits. Advice: Mustache scissors are perfect for cutting open the reagents and if you pinch the package you can turn it into more of a funnel and pour it in rather than shake it. Less spills out.
Pro tip: always face the corvette forward so the 10 is facing you in the checker. When calibrating (C1) place the checker on a table. While it's testing its best to not be moving it around. Mex turbo snails work great for hair algae. AB+ will NOT increase nutrients like other aminos. Hope this helps!
I love my Hanna hr nitrate would never go back to Salifer!! Thanks for the video loving the tank I just upgraded to a reefer 350 and watched your old videos to see and look at some tips to moving it!
That is not how you use the packet. You lost 1/4 of rhe packet. You suppose to fold it a certain way....go check their videos. This test may not be accurate because of user error
I think the fish and sea hare you have is helping to remove the algae from the high nitrates, so there is balance in the ecosystem. How is your refugium? And do you run skimmer 24/7? Wet or dry?
corals like high nitrates but the best way to get rid of them is with a chaeto reactor, reactor grows 5x faster than in a refugium but be careful it will make your nitrite/nitrates extremely low. you can change your lighting cycle to adjust that. otherwise just having loads of filtration and turnover with the biological filtration and a skimmer to what other things don't pick up. finally none of those things will remove phosphates, you'll need a GFO reactor for that (or so i've heard, my phosphates are pretty high unfortunately ~0.3-0.5
rollermat may help with larger water changes or u could even upgrade your skimmer if you want ur nitrates down, but one thing i will say is high nitrates don't affect fish or coral tho I wouldn't go anything higher. but it will help coloration.
Instead of doing a lot of waterchanges just get some MicroBacter7 and dose overnight. 4mL made my nitrate go down 10 ppm and Phosphate went down .05 in a 75 Gal aquarium.
Put a guard on your wave makers... My seahare just got annihilated by mine. Luckily it didn't nuke my tank but when I took the pump out to remove it after it was already dead.... it started shooting out black ink in the bag I had put it in.
Be careful with those aminos. I know a lot of people including myself that spiked Dino’s because of that Red Sea AB+. Also you should’ve got a ton of hermits and pods instead of that one sea hare
Same as me as well… every time I use ab+ my phosphate jump through the roof. I just dose when I know I’m doing a water change the same or following day.
I’m struggling hard with NO3 and PO4 balance Nitrates undetectable, phosphates at .4-.6 Just trying to figure out out to raise NO3 while lowering PO4 🤷🏼♂️ Anybody got suggestions I’m all ears 🤘🏼🤨🤘🏼
If you have no problems with the tank and no algae. Leave it alone. Coral might not like the lower Nitrates levels. One thing I learned is that if your corals are happy, leave it alone.
Another thing you have a nitrate sink somewhere. Maybe detritus that need to be removed. Also if youre feeding too mich, i would reduce it by half. Otherwise this is a losing battle. You may end destabilizing your tank with all these big frequent water changes.
@@watrpologuy4549 the way he is sounding... It sounds like every few days he's doing a sizeable change to control the nitrates. That's good for an emergency... But not in this case. He needs to find the source of his nitrates and fix it ... Otherwise water changes are useless/ expensive and time consuming.
Hola, te conocí por via al canal de Pepenaker., seria bueno que hagas algunas veces vídeos en español., veo personas de RUclips que hacen los vídeos en Inglés y español., por que cuando se pone el traductor, se pierdem muchas cosas por la mala traducción., tendrías más suscriptores ❤, bendiciones
"Nitrates are high, going to fix that". Bam here's some reef energy baby, lol.
😂😂😂
😂😅 he has a trigger finger

child scissors also work great
Love seeing you again, practice makes perfect. Use scissors = easier to separate the packet to pour Reef AB+ made bryopsis go nuts

Super schönes Becken, schaue eure Videos sehr gerne!!
If you want to lower your nitrates then dosing AB+ will raise them
you got me at IO yo the hair is the best thing Manhattan Aquariums put me on Chris

And he’s holding it and moving it around while it’s running the testing lol
Definitely lost some powder lol, test won’t be accurate

How is your refugium? And do you run skimmer 24/7? Wet or dry?
Nitrate HR is awesome. I still wished hanna would make their devices beeps after the timer ends.

Did they change the color of the egg , I think mine is red ?
Please do a update on illusion reef tank!!Fire video btw! Like always!

Can you say Zooted 😂 I knew I wasn’t the only reefing reefer lmfao
Which lighting schedule are you using?
The Hanna checkers don't really get complicated until you use the Magnesium or Calcium checkers.
Hi are you dosing phyto to the tank?

Great Video! how long have you been using the AB+ aminos and what diffrences have you seen?
I get allergies when I’m high AF too.
😂
if you wanna lower it slowly, vodka dosing or biopellet reactor would be the way to go.

Same here. I tossed mine

Weekly water changes is not frequent?

He won’t need to work twice as hard if you learn to speak English.
Normally I press and hold the button for a second and that starts the count down
Algae scrubber
4:32 😂😂😂
4:34 🤣
I love ab+ and definitely notice coral growth. I dose it everyday other day
next time make a funnel out of the corner you cut so you get all the contents inside the bottle
You're using the packet wrong, look it up, it'll change your life 😂. And I can never decide if the ab+ works but I'm convinced it is when I'm using it
What do u mean? This is what came in the checker.
@@ZoaTankBoyz the packet. You fold it a certain way and the powder just slides in , none spills, none gets stuck in the packet.

Dawg, you're supposed to shake vigorously for 2 minutes then let it sit for 7 minutes then check
'promosm'
Feed less and check your ro filter
Still no proof of life video...
