- Update #2 on the Red Sea Reefer 525 XL known as the Natural Reefer. Heaps of new coral and livestock this episode!
Tank has been running for over 4 months now from pre-cycled media moved over from the 120 and everything has settled and become stable since the move.
Parameters are 1.025 Salinity, Average of 8.1ph (cycles through the day but refugium running when display lights are off seems to keep it from going below this), 9dkh, 420ppm Calcium, 1400 Mg, 0.00ppm Phosphate and 0 Nitrates.
Dosing has increased as colonies continue to grow. Both Alkalinty and Calcium are now 50ml/day. Have also started to dose AcroPower in addition to the target feeding of all corals. Will see over the new few months what improvements this makes.
The addition of new tangs with existing ones proved troublesome as you will see. Next update we will cover how the reintroduction of Don Mecca goes. The Blood Shrimp are a very costly addition in Australia, they are seriously cool and can't wait to see them set up a cleaning station.
Just want to say a massive thanks to Cam, Ania and the team at Gallery Aquatica for their continued support in trying to learn more in this rewarding hobby. All equipment has been purchased exclusively from them and has continued to work without fault.
A link to their Facebook page if your interested in any of the hardware in this system.

Amazing tank! Very well laid out and everything looks very happy, can't wait to set my 525 XL up! You have given me some inspiration!
Thanks Kevin! Everything seems to be settling in nicely. Let me know how you go with your 525.
Tank is looking great! I love all the caves in your rockwork :)
ReefDudes Thanks heaps dude! Tried to keep at open as possible for flow but still have enough structure to look at. ☺
Awesome 👏👏👏👏 we are watching from Brazil! Congrats for the amazing biosystem ❤
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed!
Looks great. Really like how you have the rock scape arranged. Corals are popping w/color. Sub'd your channel. Cant wait to get my Red Sea reefer going as well. 👍
NW Marine62 Thank you. Our next reefer is hopefully arriving today! Wait until you see the next update on colours!
Bad ass tank!!! Please keep up with the videos, awesome reef
Andres Ramirez Thanks heaps. Heaps of time has been going into the xxl 750 at the moment. Make sure to check out the progress with that tank also.
Absolutely mind blowingly beautiful!!!

Thanks heaps Mike! Cheers for the Sub too👊👊👊
No problem man! I enjoy watching the vids and always support other youtubers!
CJ's channel led me here. Nice setup man.
Stunning tank! You've got a great eye for aquascaping! You Got my sub
Thank you very much! Glad to have you on board
Greg Tredo mine too
You have set a very high bar that i'd like to reach with my future build!
Thanks Dude. Look forward to seeing your progress
Great looking aquarium.
sweet reef, thanks for posting
Thank you
Beautiful tank man you should look into getting a lock line for your return nozzle and split it I did it to my tank to give it some extra flow
Stunning system 👍
SUPERYELLOWTANG Thank you!
omg that torch on the far right hand side is HUGE
Hey awesome setup I am currently looking at the Red Sea 525XL or the Cade Australia Pro Reef 1800 can't decide they are both beautiful tanks, I would be happy with what you have great job!
gorgeous tank man
great looking tank!
Thanks!
great tank keep up the good work
Thanks! Will try my very best to 😉
wow...awesome tank!!
Cheers!
I know you can never be to careful but man you take it to the extreme. There is no need to be that cautious fella. Nice structure you made in the tank though 👍
Wow wonderful 😍😍😍😍😍
Outstanding 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!
absolutely amazing
Thank you!
CJ sent me. This tank is awesome!
Brian Thank you!
Holy shit that looks amazing! I'm surprised the one gyre powerhead is enough for that size tank.
Thank you! The Xf150 is actually overpowered for this tank as it turns out. Only running at about 40% with a 1 second pulse. Any more and it starts to damage euphyllias. Tried running the newer Xf250 on this tank and had to change back as the xf250 on pulse mode only ramps down to a minimum of 10%. As a result of this the combined flow meeting in the centre of the tank excavates the sand bed quite rapidly.
Uau ...Fantastic Reef
Thank you
CJ sent me...great channel!
nhall00195 Thanks! Hope you find something of interest 😉
An amazing tank!
Do you ever have trouble with fish jumping out?
got sent over here by CJ channel, that is one badass thank
Thanks man! Thanks @CJ'S Aquariums
sweeeeeeeet tank !
Thank you
Awesome tank! Could you tell me that Nyos 160 will be good for 600l mixed sps lps and fish? or I have to go for 220?
When you add new fish, tape a mirror to the outside glass of your aquarium....the tangs will get super pissed and attack their reflection....ignoring the new fish almost all the time. I do this always.....
WOW! What a great video! To me it looks like a million dollars and you are running out of real-estate. I can't wait to see how things mature in the next 4 months and on.
Larie Walls Thanks! It's going to be interesting watching it all fight for room now. Next 4 months should be good.
Such an amazing system man :) the new addition.. Damn!! I can't find any decent micros atm, that scoly is noice. Purple shouldnt have been a dick and he would have still had this amazing home.. shame haha. keep up the good work
Rookie Reefer Thanks dude! They are cool Hey! Purple will be going back in about a week...fingers crossed!
what kind of starfish do you have in there? amazing setup!
Lindo demais. Parabéns
Muito obrigado!
there is a bunch. just above the impellers. how do i twist it outward
How much money do you think you spent on this tank including coral?
Do you turn off the lights for all your new additions?
Tank looks awesome! I now use Coral Rx. I used to use seachem reef dip but it let in montipora eating nudibranchs and acro eating crabs even when they were in the dip for 30 mins😡. How many gallons is your tank?
They probably came in as eggs which coralrx can do
Thanks for the feedback. Have been thinking about CoralRx. Lots of people seem to use it. With the ato converted to an extra fuge it is about 540 liters or 140 gallons.
Is that a single wavemaker your running?
Wow amazing what settings are your lights at?
Thanks you. Have been asked a few times, going to do a video on that very soon. Stay tuned!
What kind of salt do you use? Thanks
subbed from CJ aquarium
Thank you. Hope you enjoy some of the videos :D
I use coral rx but we only deep them for 5 minutes more will be risky business
Model tank , Congratulations ....I own a Red Sea 34 and 250 ....I am seriously considering the Red Sea XXL , what extra modifications have you added besides the stock equipment ? ...Your answer will be vital in my purchasing decision ....Thank You !!!
Thank you! 11 days until we get out 750 XXL! The ato converted to a fuge has been the only modification to the standard system.
Hey what light are you using on the refugium?
ReefingwithO The light over the Caeto section is a Fluval Sea Halo and over the Caulerpa section is an aquaone eco glo 45cm.
If you don't mind another question - Do you have the caulerpa in a contain or is it just anchored to the rocks?
i have no movement at 40 percent not sure what angle to put the powerheads.....
What size tank are they on?
powerheads were dirty...
Cj's aquarium sent me here
edgardo alimagno Thanks! Thanks CJ. Enjoy!
what angle should i put the impellers...
This one is close to the surface and slightly upwards to maximize surface agitation but still move water from one end of the tank to the other.
Niiiiiiiiccce!
sub'd
Tha Bizness Reef Tank Cheers man. Was chatting with you the other day in one of the streams 😉
im at 80 or90 percent for good flow....return keeps surface moving...
That would be great flow!
Name of the Light pls
an u help me set t up....sir?
40 constant or 40 alternating
40% pulse mode
what is the maxpect set at i have one....
40% with a fast pulse.
40 percent alternating ... pulse ... solid stream
what kind of rock. are u using...?
Real Reef Rock
tonga figi...?
amazing. how do you keep it so algae free?!
jord rougvie So far, with clean up crew and keeping phos and nitrates u detectable. Have just tried to keep the system as clean as possible also.
Natural Reefing ok cool, my nitrates are around 10 at the minute.
jord rougvie What are you using for nutrient export? Do you have some algae atm?
Natural Reefing got rowaphos & caulerpa, however the caulerpa doesnt seem to be doing much, im going to increase the flow in the fuge to hopefully get better export.
Have a look into the Redfield ratio. Have always used that with planted tanks to achieve algae free systems. Have to maintain enough nitrate and phosphate in the right ratios for both of them to be consumed. Maybe because you are using an artificial substance to reduce phosphates the macro cannot consume your excess nitrate as there is no phosphate left to grow with. Let me know what you find. This is one of the reasons i try to keep it natural 👍
i have a 130 maxpect...
how much
on my red sea 350....
Are they xf150 or 130?
red sea 350
man. it was upside down. figured it out. my gorgonians look good...
Oh great, did you have the reverse heads on? They don't generate much flow at all in reverse mode.
no...
Is illustrative but noting informatibe
Thank you. Very new to the hobby so hopefully that will improve with time :D
Nemo
check out my video on the equipment i have I can't remember what coral dip in got.... your tank is awesome!
Cheers man, will do.
Drip acclimation is an absolute waste on corals...
Do you not acclimate your inverts? Have you lost any pieces after transporting them and dropping them into new water at all? It's only Natural sea water, so not wasting to much.
I acclimate certain inverts, yes, but not corals. I just float the bag for even temp and drop them in (probably don't even need to do that much). I've never lost a coral.
Think of it this way, there are people who dip their corals in insecticide to get rid of possible hitchhikers. That's going to cause a much worse shock than putting them in your display tank. With a mail-ordered piece of livestock, the important thing is to get them out of ammonia tainted water into clean water as soon as possible. If salinity and temp match between your bag and the tank, it's much better to get them into the clean water sooner than leave them in increasingly toxic bag water (toxicity of ammonia goes up with pH, and pH starts to rise once you open the bag).
Corals are osmotically passive compared to their environment, and often corals spend time out of the water at low tide, so a salinity shift is generally not going to hurt them (not that there will be much of a salinity shift say, compared to fish, where the sellers often run low salinity to prevent parasites).
magicstix0r Thanks for your help! You have made some very valid points. Surely insecticide would be more of a shock than anything to do with water parameters! Thanks for shedding some knowledge and insight onto the subject, I'm only very new to the hobby :)
Nice tank! Nice porn music lol
Israfil M. Haniff Haha, thanks. Just some of the good stuff on youtube 😂
Wtf is with you adding that many animals at once? Are you just expecting most of them to die? Do you understand what coral species are compatible or are you just guessing and using shotgun as a method? Stop doing what you don't comprehend.
