@@DaveAnderson I gotta come see this setup in person sometime man. And you’re always welcome to come checkout the greenhouse if you’re ever up this way!
@@ALifeExotic I would love to!! Missed the open house but love to some time!! You are always welcome to come see the system too!! I’m down in Utah County… when you are down this way ping me and I’d love to host a visit!!
@@djnolook384 5473 gallons right now with filtration… just pulled some holding tanks offline… internal dimensions are 103.75”x107”x90.5” deep… good eye, we just call it the 5000…
I’ve had that happen in the past as well however with my new tank cheato is growing like a weed and it’s making it hard to keep my nitrates up! Perhaps try a newer light that has dimming control and slowly ramp up the light so as not to blast the algae with too much PAR right away. That’s what I did this go around and it’s working amazing.
@@mattnano thanks for the recommendation. I have a spot where I have grown all different types of algae’s. They seem to grow like crazy then die back (I’m sure due to lack of necessary elements). I should give it another shot… 👍
@@andibandi1190 I had a salt water drum filter ordered and paid for but the builder took the money and faded into oblivion. I do like those ideas… filter socks are too much work for this system
Wow this system is amazing! What a dream to have a tank like this
what i would do to have a set up like that congrats man!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Insane man! Great job
@@ALifeExotic thanks 🙏 love what you are doing too!! 👌

Cool tank but looks a little small for 5000 gallons?

@@mattnano thanks 🙏 that’s a great idea… I do have a dimming light on it now so I will give that a go!
Can i ask you from what material your beautiful tank is made?
Concrete and Acrylic viewing panels
@@DaveAnderson and the blue sealing? Is this fiberglass or epoxy resin? Thank you
@@The_Mothzz it was a two part epoxy over the cured concrete
@@DaveAnderson thank you
@@The_Mothzz for sure 👍 happy to help… you thinking about building one? It’s totally worth it 😆👍
Large refugium will bring down your nitrates and phosphates

you can try a drum filter or a floss filter for ponds🤡

@@DaveAnderson there is now a comercial one, I think Deltec offers it ruclips.net/video/J6YivblVflo/видео.html
