This is gorgeous tank man! It's nice to see some people still appreciate the movement and beauty softies provide. I could stare at this for hours. If people would appreciate corals for the beautiful animals they are instead of being obsessed with the tank full of sticks I think a lot more people would get into the hobby.
I totally agree that softie tanks are out of this world beautiful and prefer them myself, but I also appreciate SPS tanks. SPS are really pretty and interesting when you look at them up close.
Love softies I think they are very underrated although some LPS in this tank which I also like. Personally it’s all I keep, never been a fan of sticks. Love how the tank is visible both sides .
After keeping softies for awhile, I decided it was time to try sps. I have since realized that I enjoy the movent softies provide. After watching this I am even more inspired! Most beautiful reef tank I've ever seen and I go back to it quite often.
@@mikecreeftank2560 if you don't mind my asking a few questions, I have a sinularia that is deteriorating and the substance is like spraying fiberglass. Next question, where would someone find the tracy Morgan gorgonian? I LOVE that thing! I want to get a grubes too.
@@donnahacker43 not sure on the sinularia without seeing a photo but they do shed every now and then sometimes it takes a week or two to start looking good again. Tracey Morgan? You're not on Long Island NY by any chance? If not you can try www.marinefarmers.com Pablo can ship to you.
@@mikecreeftank2560 cool, man im so impressed for your reef tank. I got a reef tank too, a little more than 1 year old and the major is soft corals. Check my channel i got some videos.

MikeC REEFTANK Hello and beautiful tank actually my favorite. I am looking for some info on the 2 corals seen at 1:05. I know they are probably finger leathers, can you confirm this? Thanks
No! never! I feed DIY Blender Mush Some variation of this : I blend these separately in a quisinart for proper texture of each and use fresh not frozen Shrimp, clams,silver sides,and some kind of fresh fish(cod). I try to stay away from bottom feeding fish like flounder. I then mix this in with AmericanReef HPD food PE mysis, Fish eggs,Reef NutritionOyster Feist, Norie. Put it in a few large zip lock bags and freeze it. Every 2 days When I'm ready to to feed i brake of a small amount and put it in a hair color application bottle I got new from my wife (she's a beautician) with RO water and keep it in the refrigerator. I feed multiple small amounts throughout the day.
Is there something wrong with phytoplankton? Would that even feed softies? I thought you might feed it because you have feather dusters but I guess those are just eating the meat?
@@jimmygreenspan8832 Every time I tried photo I got a bad alge break out for that reason I don't use it. This DIY has worked for me for the last 6 years so I have no reason to try something different.
AMAZING TANK!! May i ask how old is your tank? Also have you noticed any drops in any elements in your tank? I heard iodine is usually one of them in a soft dominated tank. I'm currently redoing my 220 and love the movement soft coral provide
First thank you for your kind words. The tank is about 4-5 years old the rock came from my previous 2 year old sps tank. I say this because I believe seasoned rock is important. I don't test for elements I use coral life salt and I'm going with the premise that my weekly 40gal water changes and what is in the salt is giving whatever elements my tank needs. For every internet article you read on softies needing iodine, you can find that same amount saying you don't. Myself I have never had a needed to add it.

Thanks Brian I appreciate the compliments.
Brian Rinehart totally agree the movement makes the whole tank look alive but very relaxing at the same time

Nice!!! Your tank is packed. Great color
Your tank Mike! Everything is stunning!
one of the most colorfull tanks I have ever seen ....AMAZING
Fantastic stunning reef!
I just love this tank! And I’m not even a soft coral guy. I mainly like sps and euphyllia. But this tank is something else!

Beautiful reef tank
nice video ,i love it
Sometimes we make it too much about the fish ... this does show the way to go.

I know what you mean I started a sps tank in addition to this about 4 months ago and I'm so bored with it lol

Hello and beautiful tank actually my favorite. I am looking for some info on the 2 corals seen at 1:05. I know they are probably finger leathers, can you confirm this?

What about amino acid supplements?
