This is one of that very rare occasions where someone give you cristal clear directions on how something works. Thanks a lot for taking time to get that on video and share with us! Good to be someone's hero and you're mine!
Abe we need a video from you on daily, weekly monthly maintenence etc
hope this was made
My goodness! You've got it figured out. The color of your corals speak for themselves. Well done 👏👏👏
1) Polyps moving 90 - 100% of the time. Perfect!
2) Most corals placed not in direct line of the pump grow more evenly, in general.
3) Tabling corals need flow under, besides strong light.
4) Tunze pumps are the most reliable ones!!
Thumbs up, boy!
Wow your sps are F ing amazing! Best I have seen on the interweb.
This is probably the best video about flow out there - going through the settings and working out a flow baseline based on turnover volume and then showing the polyp movement we should be looking at... GENIUS
I also think that getting the tank rocking is important... but I didn't know about the Wavebox till I saw it - I have a Gyre for my build but I've definitely put a wavebox on my list for the build.
Aaron's also said he changed his pumps to aim directly at the corals and got much better results. So now I can put the pumps behind the islands instead of in between them.
So this is super helpful - thanks ;)
👍👍👍
Coral Euphoria Sps need light or water movement strong make me crazy sps?
Wonderful video. Very much look forward to them at this point.
one of the best channels on YT :)
Some of the best info out there on growing acro. Keep it up!
You've become my favorite reef vlogger. Great work. I am just north of you, next time I roll that way I'll hit you up and bring you a frag of something cool! I'd love to check out the system if you ever have guests. Keep up the great content!
Love your confetti especially how it looks with all the flow.
Wow what happened👍 your editing is 🔥 now Really like that looking forward to the next video
Boom!! Another great video. Keep em coming
Stunning reef 😍. Great informational vid 👍🏻
Some beautiful acros you have in that frag system
Beautiful tank! I am a big fan of your corals!
Another quality video great information thanks for sharing
Great Video! Learn something that I can put into practice! Keep up with your good work!
Another great and informative episode from a great channel...Thank you so much for sharing this wealth of information bro..
Your videos are the best! I am about ready to buy my first acros from you. You have so much to choose from and I’m having a hard time picking what I want and what would be the best for my tank. Ha ha
Damn another awesome vids bro! Just keep them coming!
Love the videos you do, I use mp40s and jaybo cross flow wave makers. They have not of power and you dont really get dead spots. Over current and undercurrent!
Stunning tank
Great advise
Great videos, I can’t believe I just ran into your channel, I thought I’ve seen all the reefing channels/videos lol until I ran into your interview with reef bum
I run my 200 gallon mixed reef with a single pump, a Jebao CP-150 and it's not on full power. It's near the surface on the overflow, so I have no pumps on the glass. Just a few stags. Having no visible pumps really makes the tank look very natural.
Great job as always.
I realy enjoy your tips and videos 🤓👍
Love the video acros look amazing 😉
yes I've heard flow is important
I love this explanation of flow! I know you’re wondering why 😁😁 so I’ll tell you - it’s because I too, use multiple powerheads with some directing laminar flow straight at the acros at the top of the tank. This flow intersects with the flow from the Random Flow Generator nozzle from the other direction. Because I have a mixed reef, I need areas of more subtle but still turbulent flow and using multiple powerheads with the RFG does it in spades. But one thing I’ve never done is calculate the actual turnover, so I’m going to do that.....🤓 I always enjoy looking at your tanks, thank you for the eye candy you’ve shown us here! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the comment and stoppong by! As i read that comment i can imagine you in your own voice saying those words hehe 😀. Your videos are having an effect on me lol
That’s hilarious! 😂😂😂 Now I just have to figure out if I write the way I speak or vice versa......I hope it’s that I write in a conversational tone! 😎
Awesome video, im currently trying to tweak the flow in my tank since i want a mixed reef and dont want my lps to get blasted. What i have so far is 1 mp40 on the bottom corner at reefcrest 80% and the front mp40 in pulse mode 60%.
Excellent flow overview for as stated all stick tank.... However, I have mixed reef and it gets tricky ...
Great insight 👍
Going to add a 4th mp40 to my tank. Can’t wait to get those frags. “TX Punisher” keep the vids coming. ~Ryan
Top channel!
Awesome flow demonstration..
Thanks brotha
Hey man, thank you for your videos, they are great! A quick question, do you reduce the flow at night? If you do, how much do you reduce it? Thanks
Me too! Am wondering the same thing!
Hi :) can you say me your tunze wavebox settings ? Great video about flow ❤
There was a BRS video recently where they tested different amounts of flow/pumps (66x/132x, sparsely arranged tanks) on identical tanks with several sps frags: ruclips.net/video/BpBOD_EiDrU/видео.html
They checked for coral growth (alk consumption, coral weight) and visual differences in each tank and found no significant effect.
My interpretation is, there is a need for sufficient flow for the sps to thrive, but no "the more the better"-effect.
Obviously, a somehow alternating current removes detritus etc better than a constant, unidirectional flow and may be in a way more stimulating for the corals. But having a bunch of different flow patterns over the day seems to be more like a gimmick to me.
Hello, I have a problem, I have a 300L LPS fish tank, I have been trying to large flow, but I found that when I increased the flow to 20-30 times, MY LPS shook in the water very much, I was very upset. May I ask about the amount of circulation required for the LPS tank
Hi, I don't know of any rules of thumb for LPS
Thanks for the video.
24 hour reefcrest mode???
Thank you.
Since getting newer Vortechs, mixture of reef crest, tidal swell and nutrient export
Wunderful Tank and Video, Thanks so mutch. I have a Question: What is your Favorite Modi for the MD Pumps, only the Reef and Lagoon or other the most Time ?
I only use reef crest mode for both vortech pumps.
Thanks
Show more close ups please love your colors
What your opinion on gyres. Why no grye?
nice!
Hi bro. Thanks for the great info.... q is for my 130G sps tank which wavemker is good? & how many heads need to put ..please guide.. fot now I have 2 jebao .25..55 but not enough water movement or can say not proper care.. hope u get my massage & advice me thanks in advance ☺
Hello, I just found your blog, it is wonderful. Please can you tell me which brand is rotary wave generator, thanks.
Hi, it is called a 'sea sweep'.

@@CoralEuphoria, thanks. Regards from México City.
What are your thoughts on the wave box. I have 4 powerheads and considered using the two across the back to create a similar standing wave to the tunze while the two at the front run a more typical mode. Do you think the pattern from the wave box provides and unique benefits?
do you take coraline algae off the flow pumps ? if so, why and how ?
What mode do you keep your vortech pumps on?
Dear Abe how you run your both MP40? You tell 100% at Mode Reef Crest....but do both run at the same time or time-shifted?
And the other two run also at the same time? BR Artur
I like to ask, is flow speed when i on light is same when the the light off?or shall i reduce the flow once the light is off?
The corals don't need it turned down. But maybe the fish might appreciate it
@@CoralEuphoria appreciate about your thought..so is it better when the light turn off i reduce the flow 10-15%?for your tank, did you reduce your flow?
Mega Video, Gratulations from Germany. At 2:26....what kind of acro is it? Millepora?
Oh yes millepora
@@CoralEuphoria
I think, gemmifera looks like an artichoke :) but she is beautiful too. Yes....millepora.....one of the Most beautiful acros
@@Jenson80 im confused about which coral you are asking about. The pink/red one or the green one?
@@CoralEuphoria the green one
@@Jenson80 ah ok. I'm not sure. What do you think?
Seems that you like tunze pumps lol... Are they as easy to clean like the ecotech?
Muito legal 😁
Do you recommend using cross overs or rather use various pumps on different parts of the tank ?
Cross over,l? Like closed loop? I rather use powerheads if possible for simplicity, but closed loops may he necessary for extra large tanks
nice tank! do your vortechs run in sync or antisync? thx
Hi, Thank you. Neither. They are both on reef crest mode and not sync'd. I like it that way so it is as random as possible.
This may be a dumb question but do you have to drill a hole in the tank
Just in general, to make a reef tank?
I have a 40 galon 2 ft long tank, for this particular one, would you recommend to add a Gyre 4K or Vortech M40 for starters?
I prefer Vortechs over gyres by alot.
@@CoralEuphoria Thank you so much
I think I need to turn up my flow
What if your acros don’t have PE 😂 like mine
Hello,I have a 100g reef that is about 7 months old. I was thinking about removing the sandbed, so I can increase flow. What are your thoughts? Would this release chaos and throw my parameters off?
I would do it slowly. Like siphoning out a shallow layer at a time during water changes over the course of 6 months
Much Appreciated!
What do you dose to make your corals color up so brightly?
My method of reefing is basically feeding the fish heavy while keeping low nutrients. Heavy in, heavy out
Coral Euphoria awesome! Thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work and videos! 👍🏽
Hey waiting for a new video 😅😛
Do most Acropora have such extended polyps as yours?
They should 😉
Podrías poner sub español exelente canal
at 2:44 the green polyped acro, what kind is that? :)
That's my garf bonsai
@@CoralEuphoria thanks, I could find it as acropora valida witht hat trade name. :) it's beautiful! I have one that looks similar, but it was brown when I bought it, new growth is purpleish and bright green polyps. So heres to hoping it's a garf bonsai :)
Tunze runs in pulse mode on your sea sweep?
Yup
Coral Euphoria apex control the pulse? Could you pls share what you running?
Do you have them on 24/7?
I just turn off the wave boxes at night for the fish
Man, I bet you have a hellacious electric bill LOL
How much white light. How long...
About 6 hours
i do 1 hour...
