Im finding this guys videos so informative and entertainin…….im researching first before starting this hobby and ive been benchwatching his vids…..Love the content 👍🏽
Keep the videos coming! Im looking for a tank as we speak so im in the do my homework phase, watched pretty much all of your videos and find them very informative also helps you have a good sense of humour ‘sit back and watch its polyps hang out’ 😂 Keep up the good work Alex 👍🏻
Another great video. I have decided to give up on goniopora and alveopora (yes even dosing manganese didn’t work) and got my first acropora in trade for some cheato. No idea what it is though. Seems to be dark purple with cyan polyps but it’s far from happy yet.
Would you mind elaborating on how your regal angelfish is comtributingbto reduced polyp extension? I was considering a regal angel myself and was under the impression they really only nipped at LPS or softies.
It's not that he's contributing to reduced PE, he's almost certainly the only cause. Not uncommon from what I understand - you can always catch and rehome him if it doesn't work out for you though...
Do you have tips for polyp extention on sps aside from stability? My montipora forest fire wont open it is growing. I dont have any non reef safe fish. Amd my other monti digitatas are open i got three on 3 diffrent places so thats not the problem.
Hi mate! I’m looking at getting a fluval evo 13.5 as my first reef tank however I just have a question about going on holiday, would the tank, corals and fish survive if I was to be away for 1-2 weeks? Cheers
Hey, I also had a high salinity swing, some of my sps just stopped growing and lost color. What can I do about it? iIthink it has been half an year since then

My favorite acropora are the SC orange passion, TGC cherry bomb, and yes, as ultra-common as it is, the og bali slimer
Part 2,3,4,5… You get the
gist😂. Heading back to China for 6 weeks, gonna miss RUclips and the show!
All great choices for sure 🔥💯✌
Part 2 please 👍
Great results please now share your lights philosophy, spectrum par, etc. Thanks in advance.
Salinity swings should be avoidable but the probes wear out so fast they're way too common. Happened to me as well
I think you have the pinky the bear correct. I have one and though not as bold of colors as yours it looks very similar
I have two stores near by .. one sells literally so many of corals you get lost in it, Ocean Store in Dordrecht, the Netherlands
how would you choose the lights, in order to make sure that these corals do well at a certain depth? Let‘s say 70-100 cm, I like tall aquariums.
Kessil a500x is designed for deep tanks
I found a nicrew reef light for soft and spa for under £28 nicrew classic led marine

I now only buy gonis that I know has been in someone elses tank for a year or more.
Please part 2 and three and four for lps

Nice video! Is the intro missing on this one? Apologies if I'm wrong!
Not missing, just went without...
@@ReefDorkperfect decision

Water quality is everything but kalkwasser made a big difference to my SPS polyp extension
Here's one for all Reef keeper's what's better for a Reef Tank pulsating mode on a wavemaker or just the normal flow mode

Probably, 2 weeks is a bit long especially if you're not feeding
Hey Reef Dork, I'm wondering how your Reef Flare pro lights have been going I'm trying to decide on buying them or radions etc?.
I like them - app is great and they're supposed to be mounted high which gives me excellent access to the tank.
Very niceeeeeeee
how long it takes a newly added acro to do polyp extension ? I added one about 4-5 days ago and the polyps are slightly out but not really
Generally pretty quick but they're fussy sometimes
Hey, I also had a high salinity swing, some of my sps just stopped growing and lost color. What can I do about it? iIthink it has been half an year since then
As long as you've corrected the salinity, there's not much more you can do beyond maintaining good water quality
@@ReefDork I am struggling with maintaining kh, the rest are ok. Thanks for the reply
What par do your acroporas get?
3-400 mostly
I cannot keep strawberry shortcake, the longest I've had one is a couple of years.
Me too!
Second installment, please.
Strawberry shortcake and Bali shortcake are completely different corals. Just a heads up.
The one in the video is a Bali shortcake right? Is the strawberry the Aussie one?
Part 2…. 3 etc lol
No intro ?
Nope, wanted to try getting stuck straight in
