Thank you!

Justin Rahn - 7 years ago

what protein skimmer is that. I also didn't notice a wave maker? Just curious I ordered this same tank yesterday!

The Salt Tank Society - 7 years ago

+Justin Rahn It's a Bubble Magus Curve 5 skimmer. I don't have a wave maker. I have 2 Ecotech MP10s that alternate throughout the day. They are placed at different levels as well so they hit everywhere. Good luck with yours! It's a great little tank!

If you cruise through Nano-Reef.com I have a build thread for the tank. I'm under KuruptPixel.

beautiful tank! Why did you change more that 50% percent of water??? i thought you supposed to change 10-20% once per week

The Salt Tank Society - 7 years ago

Every 4 -6 weeks I do a bigger one - 8-10 gallons which was on this occasion. Weekly I do 5 gallons. It's a 28 gallon system and I very rarely dose anything so a lot of my import/export of nutrients good and bad come from the clean water.

Eun Lee - 7 years ago

wow...awesome tank!!
I've seen your tank pictures from last year threads(nano-reef.com), It was a very impressive tank at the time.
Thanks, i'm sure that you're management well.

Thomas Coleman - 7 years ago

Why such a big water change ? You could start a recycle of the tank if too much

faisal shurafa - 7 years ago

Thomas Coleman no you can't, as long as the bacteria is a live take out as much water as your heart contends

The Salt Tank Society - 7 years ago

+Thomas Coleman Nitrate export. I do a 5 gallon change once a week. It's a 28 gallon system. This one I did about 8. It's been running a year and a half without an issue.

mitian - 7 years ago

Thanks for replying, that is so nice of you, keep posting good videos...

The Salt Tank Society - 7 years ago

Thanks! The song is a remix from Aldenmark Niklasson.

The Salt Tank Society - 7 years ago

Yes actually! It will be!! Haha

M T - 7 years ago

Hi, have same tank as you and only change 10 litres per week. Do you always change that much? How often do you do a water change? Do you just clean the substrate at the front of the tank? Thanks in advance and great vlog BTW.

The Salt Tank Society - 7 years ago

I just do a couple small digs into it and leave the rest. I think not touching it at all would work better for a larger tank. Ours might not be able to support the load though. It does get pretty nasty down there!

M T - 7 years ago

Thanks for reply. Was going to ask about cleaning the sand bed. Mines looking pretty dirty so may get a syphon like yours and add this into my routine. I read the sand bed shouldn't be disturbed too much as it can release too many nasties but hope cleaning a little at a time doesn't have any negative affect.

The Salt Tank Society - 7 years ago

Hey! Thanks for watching! I ended up doing a little bit more that day than usual, but not much. I do a change every week and average about 30-35 litres. I tend to alternate vacuuming the front and the back just so it doesn't disturb too much(that whole clean the sand bed debate). I also change that much because I don't REALLY dose anything on a regular basis so I get things under control by just removing it. That's my theory anyways haha.
