Hi Josh, got to meet you at RAP Anaheim this year - I was the lady with the list of corals on my phone asking questions -lol. I’m glad that you, as an expert in your field, are sharing this. You are human, just like the rest of us and life happens! This is important for us new reefers so we don’t get discouraged. This is not a causal hobby, it is difficult, but the results are magical.
When experts and vendors/companies acknowledge that they also make mistakes with their own tanks, it bolsters many of us not to quit in that first or even second year; and understand that this is just a part of taking on this incredible hobby. IMHO.
And the in-depth walkthrough on lights was so easy to understand!!
I'd like to do more of this kind of video as long as it continues to be helpful that's why we love the feedback. Keep it coming it will help us get you guys the content that you ask for.
You made Mobius so easy to use after this. Thank you my brother💯💯💯💯💯
You are so Welcome!
This video is the absolute best I’ve seen on a the breakdown of proper lighting. I wish this video was out two years ago😂😂. Great info
Thanks for the tutorial! I would like to see a video on what all you need to test for when starting a reef tank. You see alot on maintaining one but not starting. Just how to cycle and what to test for during that process.
That's a good one.
this is a great tutorial on setting light on mobius and his reasoning behind it
It can make a world of difference for sure.
This is such excellent and valuable info. It was a pleasure to speak with you at Reefapalooza in TX.
"You can go down quick, but they gotta go back up slow". Great information that I wish I knew when I started. Great video, Josh 💪🏼
So true
Sweating from all this heat!
Thanks for the little tutorial, tank looks awesome 👏
Thank you so much!
Still cant belive that the tank Filtration is that easy ❤
Hi Josh. Your videos are always so helpful. I have a question about the difference between the schedule and point intensities. I have never really understood the difference in what they do. Could you explain that for me? Also, I have an innovative marine 25 lagoon. What would be a good start point for these intensities for such a shallow tank?
Dropping overall intensities will impact all colors and points unanimously. Changing point intensities will only effect that plot.
If you need more guidance you will have to provide more equipment info.
I needed this video! Thank you, Josh!
That Ultimate Blue Stag is absolutely gorgeous! Timeless classic now.
It is a beautiful coral!
Tank looks awesome ❤
Incredibly helpful video
What was the reason that you put the schedule to 100% and scale down the points percentage ?
If I were to put the overall at, say 50% that would mean that my blues that I like at 100% would be cut down by that 50% and all other color selections unanimously by the same 50
What is the least photoperiod i can give? I run 3 1/2 hours of white then the rest blue for total 12 hours.
What is the least amount of photoperiod i can give. Im struggling with the amount of algae ive got.
In the past I've had to resort to all blue all day in one of the worst cases. But don't forget you can also reduce the intensity of whites and that reds will also grow algae when you are fighting that fight.
Hey Josh!
Great video.
Thanks for helping me out at RAP Tx
Can't wait to put in an order with WWC.
Any time!
This video is awesome 👏🏻 thank you
Walt Disney is decently hardy. The coral I find to always go first in my tank if something is off is Vivid Confetti.
One of WWC best videos with true knowledge not bro science , sorry vic lol
I love the shimmer of an old halide bulb… but love the coral coloration of the old blue actinic fluorescents. We use to could have both at the same time. /sadface
Now that LED is the thing, I can have both! Hooray for LED! 🎉
Honestly, if it weren’t for the fish… I’d be blues only.
Since you’re running the cool white, you could probably go zero on the green (since you don’t like it). The white probably has enough green in it. The whites are just a mixture of all spectrums.
What kind of lights are you running now?
I'm curious to know why the switch didn't go well to ESV b ionic 2 part? I am noticing that AFR is not keeping my mag at an ideal level, so I was going to switch it out tomorrow. please give me some advice on this switch. Thanks!
How do you test the alk I’ve tried kalk and tested with hanna, doesn’t matter how much I add the alk just drops with hanna test kits. Do you experience this ?
Looks like you need a copper band in that tank that aptasia next to the micro Musa was huge.
There is some real monsters in there!!!
Tank still looks great!
Thank you!
Thx Josh
Thank you!
What are the point intensities on your light schedual 70% daylight period and 60% blue period.
For the Gen 6 blue model where there is no green channel would you raise any of the whites higher than 10 and 20 to compensate for no green?
Quick question. So, If I get in a bunch of SPS (stags, etc.) from WWC, what PAR (roughly) should they start at in a persons tank for acclimation for a while before slowing ramping up par / moving the SPS up in the tank? And, how long generally would you leave them at the lower PAR prior to ramping up gradually?
We would start at the 150 par range
@@WorldWideCorals Thank you.
There is a reason why you switch to B-ionic, AFR is good alk,cal,mg but is to much for trace elements I was dosing AFR and I found out was to much and switched to b-ionic and my corals are more happy them before I dot. Why but there is something in afr this is my opinion 😀
B-ionic is surely the OG of 2 parts. It's been around for a long time for a reason!!!

Kalk should have kept the tank stable?
It does but it has its limits.
What kind of tang is that?
mimic tang
Hello, which brand of amino acid do you use? do you replace trace elements or just ca, kh and mg? I love wwc.
Historically it's always been Brightwell coral aminos. This time around I have been playing with Fuel from Seachem.
How much par are you giving those acros ?
The top of the tank where the two radions intersect is just about 350 ish I believe that gives me about 200 on the floor. Honestly that's a bit hot but I kind of like it that way.
Your sps died most likely because of ph. When your DKH gets that low if ph is around 8.2 to 8.5. 4 to 5 dkh won't phase the coral. I tested this theory. One tank at 4dkh with ph at 8.3 to 8.5. And coral was happy. Other tank same dkh and in a matter of days it started to stn. PH is key when it comes to DKH. And I really believe STN and RTN has to do with low PH.
I'm sure it was, I only say alk because that's the cause. The effect was was easily ph related. However, I wasn't intending to adjust ph I was adjusting alk. Either way I should have never let it get to that point
Hey Josh just curious, why did you switch to bionic?
In order to continue use with All for Reef I would need to target calcium and buffer the ALK with a secondary product. Due to the fact that my calcium and magnesium were off the charts. The product isn't really designed for a demanding tank. Two part just seemed the most practical since I have years of seat time with it.
So you going to grab an alkatronic ?
Interestingly enough there is something cool coming.
Josh my guy💯💯💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Thanks for the love.
❤️
is there any chance you could help us AI Prime users with the same thing LOL.
Josh why don’t u just attach your mobius template to the video description please 🙏

Hello. Did I Win the Casper challenge?
??
Is that a waterbox frag tank?
It is a tideline 62 gallon
Josh why the schedule int in 100% u never explained
So much going on in this video, why is there no lid on your kalkwasser vessel, your ruining it's buffering capability exposing it to air.
This is the reason why I only use 3.5-4 gallons of solution per refill. It actually has very little to no change, I have already tested this. What else is going on and how should I be doing better??

I’m so sick of the beard FAD
Why don't you tell me how you really feel.
Probably cause you can’t grow one. 🤷🏻♂️🤡🤡
Why don’t you try this instead instead of everybody trying to find Casper which I think the videos go to certain people faster than others don’t know why but that’s how I feel and from talking other people I feel the same way. Why don’t you pick something easier like this week the 30th person who likes the video Wins tell anybody what the number is you can make it 500 you can make it number five or whoever that number is that washed and light is the winner of the coral pack because I truly believe the video isn’t hitting everybody on RUclips at the same time but I’m probably wrong
