Hi! I have the exact same tank, and going through the ugly phase with starting on 3/29/24. I decided to match you and put my wave systems on the sides. What strength in the app do you have them? I put mine at 30% but was unsure if this was too low. I also was curious what you have your main pump set to? I have mine at 56%. Your tank look great!!! I can't wait to see all that coraline algae grow! I have only little ones starting with all kinds of ugely brown algae....hate this phase!!! I truly thank you for your guidance!
Hey Anton, they're both pretty different wave makers really but both good at different things. If I could only pick gyres or neros then I'd probably go with the gyres as I like how close I can get them to the surface. The neros are a much narrower flow pattern but the app control is pretty cool. If I can ever grab another nero at a bargain price then I might try them on some fancy opposing pattern. In an ideal world, I'd have all my wave makers on the back wall to be less intrusive but with the aquascape design I have it's not so practical I think.
Once upon a time I used vinegar and seemed to work well but apparently it can damage magnets through the plastic so I stick to citric acid now. It's still pretty cheap.
@@th3cartershow RODI water. Just fresh water run through reverse osmosis and DI stage filter. You could also use distilled water. It is overkill, though. For cleaning, I’m sure tap water is fine.
I still can't believe what I did to my red monti! 😯🤬😔

Oh my god 02:07 , you look like Wade Wilson (Deadpool)
Anyway thanks for your tips about cleaning wavemaker. I cleaned it perfectly
Subbed keep it up mate I think you could go far with reefing
Hey @indor reef do u like your nero vs the gyres ??

I use vinegar on my Nero 5’s but I run them in RO before putting them back in.

What is RO
