Awesome update, great stuff, thoroughly enjoyed

Looks great, just picked up Pax B C30... Hope to install it soon on my 500g tank... Some say it can replace skimmer!

Well done! It’s great.

My skimmer pulls out a lot of yucky stuff even with the ARID growing chaeto like mad. I think it ultimately depends on your bioload.

I enjoyed watching. It gave me hope that someday my tank might fill out like yours. Thanks for posting.

Great video and tank!

codydemmel4 · 06/29/2018, 07:36 AM

very nice!

How do you keep your walls so clean of coralline. Do you scrap a lot or do you have a certain tool that helps a lot to keep it so clean.

reefkeeper2 · 06/29/2018, 04:14 PM

I use an algae cutter bag from mighty magnets and an old aluminum kitchen spatula. The spatula is not sharp enough to scratch the acrylic but it does a number on tough coralline.

Always enjoy an update from you! Awesome as usual!

cesarjimen · 07/07/2018, 07:41 PM

Always enjoy your updates!

What levels do you keep nutrients at? Do you dose anything?

reefkeeper2 · 07/07/2018, 10:16 PM

I dose iodine and Seachem Trace. Nitrates range from just detectable to 2.5. Haven't tested phosphates in a while.
