isn’t this overstocked

Rogue Stomper - 7 years ago

what do you keep your temperature at and what salinity do you have in the tank

J B - 7 years ago

wow

Rogue Stomper - 7 years ago

Can I ask how long you waited before you added the fish

Chris Clemons - 7 years ago

Do you run all colors at your settings you posted or run mainly blues? They seem low from what I've seen others posting running blues at 100% with uv. Love the tank props on keeping it looking so clean.

Doug Tham - 7 years ago

beautiful tank bruh! :)

Max Winter - 7 years ago

good video nice tank and set up

Luke Suder - 7 years ago

what stand is this?

Angelinabug - 8 years ago

Very nice setting! How much live rock are you using? I have the exact same tank running for a little less than two years and I'm starting to think my LFS made me buy way more live rocks than I need.

Francisco Perez Gil - 8 years ago

Amazing Setup, i have same tank, and same Light, you cand send me your config for Ai Prime HD?

EDK ReefMeister - 8 years ago

Sek Ranger - 8 years ago

Do you have to feed tuxedo urchin? How long he has been in the tank?

Rico Reef - 8 years ago

EDK ReefMeister - 8 years ago

great reef

Hristo Trichkov - 8 years ago

What lighting you are using for the 10 gallon aquarium?

Erik - 8 years ago

i dont have this tank anymore but it had the ai prime hd.

T. Hunt - 8 years ago

I just looked up the dimensions for this. No way it can hold 10 gallons. Seems like I could fill it with a 5 gallon bucket. I was looking hard at getting one, but not if the company is lying about the gallons

T. Hunt - 8 years ago

+Erik
That's what I was thinking. 7-7.5 gallons swimming space. Still nice looking tank, but now I'm looking at the 20 gallon version and debating between the two.

Erik - 8 years ago

well the aquariums will never truly hold the stated amount of water. you would have to factor in the inch of space at the top not holding water all the way around, the overflow section and the return section, plus the amount of live rock being used all taking up space. i would say i have about 7 gallons of available water in here. but i don t really know.

very nice

Kurt Scoville - 8 years ago

tank looks great. are you maxing out your intensity of the prime at 40%? thanks

Kurt Scoville - 8 years ago

Ok great thanks. the new tank is nice

Erik - 8 years ago

Kurt Scoville I've upgraded tank, i no longer have this one but i max primes out at 87% gradually increasing intensity by 1% every couple of days

Manny Gardner - 8 years ago

Did you have any issues with your pygmy angel picking at the coral? Any aggression towards the clowns?

Manny Gardner - 8 years ago

+Erik Thanks for the response. I'm actually going to be setting up my reef tank today.

Erik - 8 years ago

Manny Gardner the pygme angel might pick at stony corals of they arent fed.

RvFlip19 - 8 years ago

Thanks for posting your vid. Wondering, what stand are you using?

Reefing with Reefer - 8 years ago

Ron Srnsky - 8 years ago

Timo Graupe - 8 years ago

Northwestern Reefer - 8 years ago

Nice tank! I have subbed to your channel.

brinks128 - 8 years ago

do you test your alk and cal?

Erik - 8 years ago

i do sometimes, not all the time because of laziness. but parameters dont change really stays same as im pretty consistant with water changes

maxxis - 8 years ago

Very cool. We in Russia are not able to contain such nano aquariums with Acropora

Erik - 8 years ago

i would love to see your 5g sps tank. because i really want to do a pico tank full of sps but seems a bit difficult

Awesome tank bro! Subbed!

Alan Parr - 8 years ago

Hi Erik..., great little tank and really like ur whole setup. I was trying to think of another fish for my Evo 12.., but after seeing ur beautiful Atlantic Pygmy Angel.., I know what I'm getting. I think it will be fine with my two Percula Clowns and Yellow Goby. Any tips or special care for the angel you can tell me? Ty

Reefer Nanoman - 8 years ago

Why do you need a surface skimmer when your tank has an overflow? I just point my nozzle towards the surface so that I can get rid of that scum.

Squash Man!! - 7 years ago

Reefer Nanoman hey he’s growing sps in a 10gal so does it really matter

Shur Wee - 7 years ago

Reefer Nanoman lo
lol

Reefer Nanoman - 8 years ago

Yeah that's too much work honestly. Also, it's less stable (salinity wise) to be doing it manually.

Erik - 8 years ago

Reefer Nanoman no i dont but i refill evaporated water 3 times a day. or my wife does. i do plan on getting one its a bit tedious continually doing so. i really just need a better return nozzle like the ones on solana aquariums but for nano size. maybe when theres more money

Erik - 8 years ago

Reefer Nanoman - 8 years ago

+Erik Hmmm. Yeah I also lowered my water level too. Do you have an ATO?

Erik - 8 years ago

thats what i did too but for some reason film collects at that one spot so i put in a surface skimmer in the mean time until i figure out another solution

Birleanu Cezar - 8 years ago

Nice setup man, its amazing how u can grow sps in a small tank like that. How u control the nitrates and phosphates? And what is the name of u pigmeu angelfish?

Erik - 8 years ago

well its not easy, but consistency is key, i do weekly water changes religiously, have a skimmer and reactor in there, ro water goes in there in the same temperature, light feeding, good flow and lighting. and above all is patience. it wasnt always this beautiful. and its a cherub pygmy angelfish

Reefer Nanoman - 8 years ago

I have so many SPS in my fusion 10G, that just water changes aren't enough to keep up with Alk, so I have to dose 2part from ESV (automatically with a doser).

Reefer Nanoman - 8 years ago

Nice tank! I have the same tank as you. Check out my nano reefs in my channel. Subscribed.

MIKILOFF BADFISH - 8 years ago

very cool setup i subed.

Erik - 8 years ago

i might upgrade to the red sea 65 gallon next year

Nicholas - 8 years ago

What kind of stand do you have? I'm thinking about a similar setup.

Erik - 8 years ago

i dont know actually, i bought this stand from some one off craigslist, i bought the tank used aswell but not at the same time

Erik - 8 years ago

Feroz Reef i dont dose in this tank just weekly water changes with red sea salt 2.5 gallons
