    Beautiful tank. I see you're using my method of keeping your LFS in business single handedly. When that grows in, it's gonna be amazing

      Lol. Yes actually a few lfs around my area. Different lfs have different corals. Thank you. Sometimes it's hard not to buy any more corals.

    Beautiful tank. Hard to believe it is on tap water. You ever tested your city water? Or measured the TDS of it?

      thank you, yes I know took me a while to test what corals do good on tap water, I'm currently testing acropora in the tank, have success with some but not with others.
      no never tested tds. all I do is treat the ato with safe.

    Looks great. What is the hammer to the right. Is that called a specific name? Kinda looks like a hologram if I had to guess.

      Thank you. Appreciate it. I believe it is a type of hologram, but not sure exactly which one. It does stand out because of the color difference.

    Nice looking tank future goals for me, How many gallons is your tank?

    • @DOTReef
      @DOTReef  6 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you. This is a 100 gallon tank.
      You can definitely get there. As long as you learn from all complications, research, research and do more research. Aside from that reefing can be expensive but one coral at a time will soon fill a tank.

      @@DOTReef I have a 40 gallon breeder at the moment with 6 Fish and a lot of dry rock it's been running for 2 months now

      ​@@Marvel_vs_Capcom84 nice. As long as you don't have ammonia and nitrites, you should be fine to start adding corals. Just make sure you get into the habit of testing for dkh, calcium, and magnesium. Once you get those tests down you should be good to go for lots of the nice corals. But like I said before, research lots on corals before buying. If you ever need help with guidance I would be happy to help.

      @@DOTReef Thanks, I will be honest and say I never test my water I usually let the fish be a guidance of letting me know if something is off in my tank , I am also dosing stability and quick start for when I add anything new to the tank or small water changes every two weeks or so , I know I should get in the habit of testing for my own good , I'll get my water tested at the local fish store as needed, How many fish would you recommend for a 40 gallon breeder? The biggest fish in my tank is a 4 inch coral beauty and a 3 inch Nemo clown fish , I will name the fish I have currently and the fish I want to add which is no more then 2 or 3 because I know overstocking/ bioload equals disaster
      1. Coral beauty
      2. Nemo clown fish
      3. Midas blenny
      4. Blue and yellow demsel 3inch
      5. Dragonett
      6. Blood red shrimp
      Fish I would wanna add
      1. Flame Angel
      2. Fairy wrasse
      3. Fire fish
      Basically fish that won't outgrow a 40 gallon breeder, I spent a lot of money on equipment for it , I run two hang on back filters rated for 75 gallons and two wave makers , Fish feeder and plenty of dry rock

      I will keep it under 1/2" of full grow fish per gallon.
      If you add more fish just try not to add too many at once as you can create more bioload than the tank can keep under control. Slow and steady is always a good way to go
