Glad to see the tank's progress and everything looking relatively well. Once things stabilize, you might consider moving a few of your higher light loving sps into a higher PAR and flow area. I have noticed my Walt Disney frag for example have definitely gotten a brighter canary yellow with higher PAR (above 400). With the lighting u have, u can definitely partition the light how u like to accommodate what the corals need. btw thanks to u, I also got a frag of Marvin the martian. love how shaggy it is. can't wait for it to explode. im with you, milli and tenius are those I then to gravitate towards.
Thanks! Yeah. Plan is to start increasing par and moving frags around to get corals in their ideal position and give some nice color contrast to the tank
What up azul.. nice tank 👌. Love the new additions to your tank . I've always been inspired by you and Abe from coral euphoria. Watching Both your videos got me interested in sps. So I recently picked up a pc rainbow because I liked yours so much and a miaggi tort. I also picked up a small peice of Walt Disney. It's actually doing very well surprisingly. Lol . I say that because I keep it at around 200 par. And I know it could use more light definitely. So as you know I have the same red sea reefer 250 you used to have. So I built my tank as close to yours as possible. So far it's doing well. I'm glad your new tank is doing well too. Felizidadez a ti mi amigo. Can't wait to see how your new tank progresses over time.
Really like the lighting on your system and setup alot to be said for utilising the full spectrum lighting and not blasting the tank out with too much blue to the point you can't even see the true colours of the fish and corals 👌
New subscriber… long time lurker lol. Just wanted to say thats for taking the time to make these videos, very high quality. Question.. where did you get you par meter?
@@TheBioReef okay, i got a lot of Red cyanos as i run AB+. Now i run it cool white at 90%, the blues at 100%,green at 12%, Red at 0% and warm white at 20%. The cyanos are away, but the coloration is not very well. The corals looking more brown.
I had this issue happen to me. Corals loosing color and becoming opaque. Nutrients are good. Nothing drastically changed. You think too high of par can do it? I raised it up slowly my kessils 62% to 76%. Back at 62% my par mapping showed the sps getting 170-240 par. Think I have the same issue?
Hard to tel Tommy as sps can brown out for multiple reasons. How old is the tank and any recent changes in water chemistry? Have you had a good period (6 month or so) of the corals looking nice in your tank, or are we talking about frags that look good going in and then browning out in your system ?
@@TheBioReef yes 10 months old. Chemistry was good. Consistent especially now having a DOS finally. I put the corals in and they were bright and happy for a while. Month or two then went south. Greens and reds in the coral turned opaque. I also was upping the light 1% per week. But also my ICP test said low iodine and maganese( which I corrected) but I have high tin and aluminum. Thinking from my aluminum diy aquarium screen
Still getting used to the intro to your new channel. Yours is one of the best in the biz, but I still miss AmroAzul TV! I don’t think you have enough lights on top of your rig… 😂
@@stellarlivingstoned also, the gray only really stand out early on, eventually corals encrust and all you see is sps jutting from the rock work. Makes removing colonies for fragging super easy as well!
Nice stuff, u almost completely filled already! About ur par, makes you wonder why u bought another xr15, probably didn’t need it? And what about the new G6’s, now u have to spend more money to upgrade ur G5’s! Wish they would just reduce their prices!! I would be dosing a bunch of bacteria, to help with algae and color, u filled up really fast and I believe it takes like a year to get the bacteria really going, dump the water changes till ur levels go up, save some money!!
not sure, in my redsear reefer 250, snails, starfish and sand dwelling wrasses were always disturbing the sand, which i think helps with detritus removal.
Unfortunately no - he went carpet surfing literally two days before my net top arrived (the net was supposed to have come much earlier but a series of unfortunate events delayed it by 2 month!). 🤬

So that RR magma is a beauty. I’ve been growing it for a couple years. Advertised as milli but I’m say it’s a spath
Looks awesome. I'm super excited about this new journey
Thanks Gabe…. Me too :)
Definitely get that WD frag acclimated to light. 450+, imo; gives it the best color and growth. It loooooves them lumens.
Thanks for the tip Mike!

Awesome - thanks Marcos! Good luck with the Reefer 250! It’s a great tank👍
Very nice my friend!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Dave
Beautiful. 💜🐟
Thanks Eddy
Just the video i needed! Thanks Amro :)
👍
Everything looks so good even though you just went through a major move. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Arrick!
Looking great
Thanks Sunny
Nice update!
ICPs getting lost in the mail?! I thought the USPS was bad. 🙂
Thanks Abe! Yeah i was so bummed. It happens around the x-mas mail rush

Amazing 😻
Thanks man!
Oh, maybe a fish tour sometime? The ones I see in the video are very healthy looking and adorable
Thanks man! I am trying to close the deal on a really special wrasse :) hopefully I have her for the fish tour!
New subscriber… long time lurker lol. Just wanted to say thats for taking the time to make these videos, very high quality. Question.. where did you get you par meter?
Thanks and welcome Jac - the Subs help a lot! My par meter is a Seneye reef. I really struggled with using leds till I got it!
What light schedule are you using at what point intensity? Please and thank you
Beautyful your new tank. Wich lightschedule Do you run at the radions ? It looks so bright.
I run the sps ab+ program, but when Filming, I switch to a more white spectrum to help my camera white balance
@@TheBioReef okay, i got a lot of Red cyanos as i run AB+. Now i run it cool white at 90%, the blues at 100%,green at 12%, Red at 0% and warm white at 20%. The cyanos are away, but the coloration is not very well. The corals looking more brown.
@@holgerkoob9339 interesting - haven’t noticed this issue on my tank.
Awesome! 13:06 looks like a hellfire millepora? Great tank. Keep the updates coming. Any plans to replace the trigger?
Cool, thanks for the name!
Amazing tank, what wave mode are you running on those mp40?
Thanks Luke. It’s the short pulse mode at 70% power and 0.25 s pulse
Can you do a video about your Sump with Skimmer return pump etc. I’m thinking about getting either this tank or the size under thank you
Will do!
@@TheBioReef thank you my friend have a great day!

@@tommycristaldi9037 odd - how is flow ?
Can you share your light schedule? Really digging the whiter spectrum
I use the sps ab+ program from the ecotech templates; I only turn it into a 10K whitish spectrum for your tube

😂 thanks Roli! I need to add another xr30 somewhere!
What are all those gray ceramic plates? I've never seen them in a reef.
Check out this vid to see how I make my custom modular frag plugs ruclips.net/video/DgVvkndGIiY/видео.html
PS, it allows me to move frags and colonies really easily
Interesting 🤔

How do you keep your sand so pristine looking?
not sure, in my redsear reefer 250, snails, starfish and sand dwelling wrasses were always disturbing the sand, which i think helps with detritus removal.
He likely Never vacuums more than half of it. That’s how, this way the bacteria and life in the bed can do some overnight magic
Which direction are your MP40 s blowing?
Back to front
I’m still trying sps but can’t seem to get growth or pe
Very nice tank. Do you still have the trigger fish that I saw in the beginning of the video?
Unfortunately no - he went carpet surfing literally two days before my net top arrived (the net was supposed to have come much earlier but a series of unfortunate events delayed it by 2 month!). 🤬
@@TheBioReef ohh nooo!! Ugh I feel your pain!
@@ismackherbiehind yeah man it really sucked to make all the effort to qt fish, only for something silly like that to happen :(
i still cant believe folk pay for one inch frags, thats like buying a one inch cutting from an oak tree
Hahaha - welcome to the world of high end sps :)
