WHAT LIGHT DO YOU USE, AND WHAT BULBS

915Mang - 6 years ago

TheFreakingMurphyShow TheFreakingMurphy For T5 I’m using ATI Coral+ ATI Blue+. This light is the AI Prime

#Rossy's Reeftank - 6 years ago

what do you do about your protein film that builds on on the surface if you don't have a overflow box?

915Mang - 6 years ago

I have a power head that keeps the water moving pretty good. I aimed it up so I dont have that problem, thanks Rossy

Mr. Gilly - 8 years ago

Hey buddy, do you think 1 prime is enough on the 20L ?

915Mang - 8 years ago

Gilly's Reef Yeah you would have some serious Shadows on the ends, not to bad but you'd need 2, because the AI mounts don't raise it high enough to get more coverage

Mr. Gilly - 8 years ago

915Mang thats what i figured. i will just stick with my biocube for now

915Mang - 8 years ago

Gilly's Reef You can but ideally you'd need 2

How long did it take your clowns to host your anemone? Mine are just babies so i'm wondering if they have to become older since they are tank bread. My Clowns have been in the tank for 6 weeks, the RBTA has been in the tank for 4 weeks.

Candace A - 8 years ago

+915Mang tank is an Innovative Marine Fusion 40 Nuvo

Candace A - 8 years ago

+915Mang my tank is a 40gal and the anemone is approx 2.5" in diameter.

915Mang - 8 years ago

I have had good luck with them. I got my clowns when they where babies and they went straight to the Nem. How big is your tank?

Reefer Nanoman - 8 years ago

How's your DP4 doser working out? I need one for my tanks.

915Mang - 8 years ago

The Dp4 is doing good. No issues so far

Appreciate the support!

Rotter Tube Reef - 8 years ago

cool vid man. i like the pic idea. that kalk is crazy! too much buildup. i don't dose anything but calcium once a month when i make water, if needed.

915Mang - 8 years ago

It was a big mess, I even had a pump in there to stir the Kalk, but didnt really help. Im using the BRS 2 part, I like it so far. Have a good one!

915Mang - 8 years ago

Thats cool, I like Rayans videos

Reefgrrl - 8 years ago

I used kalk briefly and found my calcium would get sky-high so I stopped. I was manually dosing by dripping a strong solution using an acclimator overnight. It worked great but was a PITA.

I also got the DP-4 and I really like it. It's been running for about a month now. I use one pump for the top-off in my 29g, delivering 80ml of fresh water 10X per day. For alk, I use Reef Carbonate and put 25ml into 8 litres of the top-off water in the large water container that originally had spring water in it from the grocery store. So my 29 gets about 8-10ml of added carbonate per day. This has been working perfectly, keeping the alk at about 8.3.

The other 3 pumps on the DP-4 are used for calcium, magnesium, and potassium in the 20g nano. I scored some plastic food storage containers on aliexpress for about $8 ea. They are square and stackable, have flat lids, and hold roughly 2 litres of liquid each. So they are perfect for dosing.

I had my doubts about dosing but I'm a convert because it seems to be helping keep things stable and I can keep the water changes smaller. I guess we all find what works for each of us eventually.

915Mang - 8 years ago

For sure keep me posted. I think its best to under dose, start slow and adjust form there. I like that acropower but I use very little. A capful makes my tank break out with cyano. And I actually see benefits from just using a small amount. I may look into the coral plus, just so many things and options to go with. For now I just want steady alk ca mg. :)

Reefgrrl - 8 years ago

.....and I'm happy to say the potassium was dead on at 400ppm so for the current amount my tank is consuming, this is working perfectly.

915Mang - 8 years ago

Im like you, Im liking the dp4. What potassium did you go with? I hear it really brings out colors, which is cool. IM glad youre feeling better now, im gonna refer people in my next video to your video. A lot of people should know. I knew about it, but didnt know it was that bad, mainly just read about it. Have a good one, and im thinking about a 2nd doser for my 24g AIO. Alright, have a good one, enjoy the weekend!

NYCity Cichlids - 8 years ago

Looking good Mang.

915Mang - 8 years ago

Thanks NYC, cant wait to see your tank, I hope they gave it to you brother!

SGT Torres - 8 years ago

A lot of plans going on huh? That's cool, good to see everything is working out! I've been out for awhile man. My tank is in bad shape, slowly turning it back around.

915Mang - 8 years ago

Hey Isaac, you have been MIA. Bad things hit us all, just stick with it! Glad to hear from you man, cant wait to see your update. Take care brother!

Young Tank - 8 years ago

Nice lookin tank

915Mang - 8 years ago

Thank You Young Tank, I got another one 24g

Al Gaming - 8 years ago

I am getting close to redeployment back, looking to get the SC 150 or 100 gallon tank.
I will build the sump myself with 3 filter socks 7" rings open concept.

915Mang - 8 years ago

Hey Blish BE SAFE Down Range. If you get an SC Aquariums Tank, tell them about me. Maybe I can get a discount or something. Who knows, lol. Steve the customer service rep is pretty cool. I almost got a 150g, but I have to pay some stuff off. Get the Solid wood stand, I like that they use schd 40 now. Let me know man, and mention me lol

Al Gaming - 8 years ago

So what happen with the SC 45 and the coral one, So how many do you have now

915Mang - 8 years ago

Hi Blish its in my Garage, I might keep it and I only have 2 tanks now. I got 3 actually a 20g Long. But Its empty. Good tank though

Trying the 2 part will be a good idea. Nice video.

Tess G - 8 years ago

You too! Happy reefing!

915Mang - 8 years ago

Thanks Tess! I got to finish getting all the other kalkwasser out, and I should be good :) Have a good one!

Tim's Tank - 8 years ago

I think you'll like the results after you start dosing.

915Mang - 8 years ago

Yeah Tim, I still have some Kalk in the ATO, Im going to empty it out, almost done with it.

El Kabong! - 8 years ago

Do you scrape the back of your tank at all. I was wondering if that way you get coraline algea growth. The only thing I dont like is that if you let it grow it gets to hard and tough to remove. I havent done a water change is a while and my corals are thriving and open up. I check my parameters and sugar dose. When I would change the water everything would close up. I have real good mechanical filtration and a dff diatom filter that is the best product that I have ever purchased for my tank.

Soe M Paing - 8 years ago

+915Mang +1 on flipper, best magnet scrubber I ever used.

915Mang - 8 years ago

I have, I wouldnt mind doing it to my 120g. Just I dont like sticking my hands in unless I have to. I love the Flipper, Which I know would do the job, but I cant get behind my tank to do it. Only bad part.

NEMO20G - 8 years ago

damn man you need to sort your ATO ekkkk!!! do an update on that soon :)

NEMO20G - 8 years ago

+915Mang good choice matey :)

915Mang - 8 years ago

Yeah thats why I said I was stopping Kalk

NEMO20G - 8 years ago

nice one mate :)

915Mang - 8 years ago

Thanks man

915Mang - 8 years ago

Yeah Sean, I love it. But youre right, I was using a lot of water. So The 120g and this tank is good. I really like the 40Breeders, but I told myself no. I did get the 24g AIO

californaReefing - 8 years ago

sounds like a typical reefer. i always have plans for new reef systems and I'm always planning and doing research can't wait for your new tank.

915Mang - 8 years ago

Thanks! Yeah the build is a lot of fun, then going a totally opposite direction. Lol, I LOVE IT!

Luis Miramontes - 8 years ago

In the beginning was that inn of the mountain gods?

915Mang - 8 years ago

+Luis Miramontes I hear you on that, lol. I did see one person fishing.

Luis Miramontes - 8 years ago

+915Mang yeah I've gone fishing there. Not really down to go on the zip line lol

915Mang - 8 years ago

Yep, Went to see Fluffy there. They have a zip line too, but Indidnt see anyone go down it.

eric olsen - 8 years ago

"Hey Mang", I mix white vinegar to my Kalk and it eliminates the carbonate residue you are experiencing. after mixing pour right into your auto top off reservoir. Check it out.

915Mang - 8 years ago

Hi Eric thank you. Im going to use kalk in my 20g so I will be doing that. Thanks again!

MileHighReefers - 8 years ago

LOL I was laughing so hard when you said you printed out a yellow tang. I showed it to my wife she said I can get as many printed fish as I want. I'm thinking about a gem tang.

915Mang - 8 years ago

Most def print out a Gem Tang,lol. Yeah I couldnt help myself, Ha ha ha. Have a good one!

jayme alcay - 8 years ago

+915Mang staying inside is a must

915Mang - 8 years ago

Yeah, you gotta stay inside and come out at night. I been to AZ, lol. Noce place though

Jorge Torres - 8 years ago

lol the yellow tang, was like Damm that's a really big yellow tang!! how was the aggression after that method

915Mang - 8 years ago

Seems to help a little. He still chases himself in his reflection. Ive been feeding nori twice a day. My clown had a chunk missing and so did my coral beauty! So far everyone is good to go

Reefkpr - 8 years ago

Can't wait to hear about the Jabeo doser. I'm thinking of switching from Kalk as well. I currently use a 5 gallon reservoir and have rigid tubing about 2 inches from the bottom and use an Aqualifter for my auto top off. I never have a problem with sludge buildup from the kalk.

915Mang - 8 years ago

Hey Phillip, If Kalk is working for you then its good. With 5 Gallons its not bad, but mine built up over time. Hard for me to get my hands in there. I had a tunze pump kicking on to help stir it every hour. Just becareful with the aqualifter, I should how the kalk clogged up my ato line.

Ruffles777 - 8 years ago

Very good video man hey what the name that guy is life after college? That's he's channel? He's name is Ryan I can't see hen in YouTube

915Mang - 8 years ago

Hey Thanks, Sorry Here is his Channel www.youtube.com/user/VlogAfterCollege

pelphrey - 8 years ago

Kalk looks like a mess! Haha laminate those print offs and drop them in the tank and let them float around! Haha clowns standing by your side! Can't wait to see how the doser does

915Mang - 8 years ago

Yeah Kalk is messy,lol. The fish is pretty cool, didnt have to QT it lol.

Kevin Wilson and everything aquariums - 8 years ago

love the new paper fish lmao. Thats a great idea though.

915Mang - 8 years ago

Ruidoso, NM not to bad of a drive. Let you see some trees,lol. Inn of the Mountain Gods. Really nice

Kevin Wilson and everything aquariums - 8 years ago

+915Mang thanks man, where was the first part of the video shot at?

915Mang - 8 years ago

Hey Kevin, Lol yeah man. Happy Fathers Day, Have a good one!

T Surro - 8 years ago

I thought that I was always buying allot of stuff to try out, but u got me beat by a mile!! I didn't like kalkwasser either, I'm using BRS also with the balling light additives, just started, I did use two little fishes balance a&b but always kept my alk at 7.0-7.5, which I like to have higher 9-10! Good luck everything looks good!

915Mang - 8 years ago

Yeah T,lol. We gotta at least try for ourselves. Let me know how the Balling additives work out for you. My Alk is 7.0 I wanna go a little higher. Have a good one!

CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 8 years ago

I feel you on the kalk... I never figured out how to measure the concentration of my kalk mixture.. I thought measuring ph of the ATO water would do it but I could never confirm it. Removed kalk almost 4 ago and haven't looked back... Good luck with the doser man

915Mang - 8 years ago

I would only put in 2 tsp of it. Good stuff, but going another direction. Thanks CJ, Happy Fathers Day

Shin's Fish and reptiles - 8 years ago

Awesome! I love that tang idea, it's really clever! Also how old are those clownfish?

Shin's Fish and reptiles - 8 years ago

+915Mang No problem

915Mang - 8 years ago

Thanks again!

Shin's Fish and reptiles - 8 years ago

+915Mang Jeez, that's a long life with a good tank owner =)

915Mang - 8 years ago

Hi Brother, yeah you dont have to feed the Tangs like that, lol. The clowns have been with me for at least 3 years. One of them still has Orange mouth. But they are one of my favorite. I was thinking about getting some maroon clowns if I still had the 10g Frag tank. But I know people who have had clowns for years. I hope Im lucky enough to keep mine that long!

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS - 8 years ago

DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS - 8 years ago

Rad Perez - 8 years ago

What's up Mike.... Funny brother I just purchased the same Jebao DP4 for the new setup. Just got my frag tank up and running yesterday, I may start moving somethings over today... Happy Father's Day, hope you have a great day...

915Mang - 8 years ago

Im liking the DP4, I havent dont the other pump heads, but so far its spot on. I cant wait to see your frag tank and Reef Brother! Happy Fathers Day, have a great one!

Mike Lemming - 8 years ago

Good idea for the voss bottles! I think I'll do the same! Thanks man!

915Mang - 8 years ago

Dude needs to get a better Smart Phone, Lol. $100 would be a steal!

Mike Lemming - 8 years ago

+915Mang you would think he would get back to me quickly since I'm trying to give him $100, it says he's on vacation and he'll get back to me and apologize and tell me to order it when I'm ready. Then, it says I can't order because he's on vacation lol

915Mang - 8 years ago

Cant wait to see it, hopefully he gets back with you!

Mike Lemming - 8 years ago

+915Mang that's what I've heard as well. I've been eyeing this one on eBay but the guy doesn't seem to get back to me

915Mang - 8 years ago

Mike, those Synergy are really top notch from what I can see. Ive never seen one in person.

Mike Lemming - 8 years ago

+915Mang haha ya like this overflow that I can't seem to find! I might have to bite the bullet and get the synergy..

915Mang - 8 years ago

Yeah Mike, I got the tall ones, they have smaller bottles. My first time drinking the water, not bad. A lot cheaper too, save that money for something else

SunCity Reefer - 8 years ago

+915Mang no not yet, everybody gave me the run around with the rastas lol
