Surface agitation is awful on this tank. U should never have pumps facing down. Should either be horizontal or towards surface.

Hi there Primo! First of all, this is amazing setup, simple and it work. Looking at the way you dosing the chemicals with APEX controller I would love to setup my system like the way you do. My question to you is what brand you are using for ALK, CAL and KAL. many thanks

First time reefer and I ran into a few problems mention...I guess I'm on of the few exception that didn't go out and bought a cap load of chemicals to solve my problem...I just asked the people in my reef club and what they recommend...

great vid man , such a great reef tank , shows how easy the hobby can be nowadays if done right.

Primo Reef Acrylics - 10 years ago

Thanks bud. You are SOO right! Doing this hobby 15 to 20 years ago, must have been difficult (knowledge/experience and lack of technology) but now-a-days with all the technology and youtube videos, help it around the corner in all ways possible. But then gain, people STILL mess up! :P

Awesome tank Primo! thanks for sharing, I think i would still prefer the peace of mind of dosing with BRS pumps versus the set up he has, don't get me wrong his math is apparently correct but adds to much trial to the equation, I'm assuming he knows what the tank uses in a 24hr period and has the apex set to dose over the 24hr period correct? the kalk to control the ph is something i look to do in the future, but how is the math with Cal and Alk being done with the kalk if its used to control ph? but i'm assuming that since his tank has such large demand, that it doesn't rely on cal and alk from the kalk...thumbs up!

+Juan's Reef Aquariums hahaha. Your very welcome bud! :)

Juan's Reef Aquariums - 10 years ago

calculations...ughh lol In Apex we trust!!! thanks again Primo

Primo Reef Acrylics - 10 years ago

Yea the BRS dowers are easier to use. At the time this client had the pumps around and decided to use that. There are more calculations that need to be made before telling the apex unit but it works both ways.

bobbonecrusher - 10 years ago

real good vid, over 2yrs ago I'd be what's he going on about, but now I understand everything he said. and looking at his tank most pro tanks have a wall not islands, agree 100% you no your own tank and how it ticks.

Primo Reef Acrylics - 10 years ago

thumbs up! :)

epicnas12342 - 10 years ago

Awesome tank but the background throws it off a bit. Why don't u suggest to him about changing it, it would make it look even more beautiful.

Primo Reef Acrylics - 10 years ago

+Juan's Reef Aquariums LOL it's one of those thing when I'm building my tanks and I will NEVER take a customers recommendation over safety for building aquarium, but little things like backgrounds etc. doesn't really bug me at all.

Juan's Reef Aquariums - 10 years ago

Black on a reef, blue on a FO, but business is business my tank building friend so i understand, do you ever get annoyed when you know you shouldn't do what they want? lol

Primo Reef Acrylics - 10 years ago

I personally like to have a black background as you probably see in all my tanks however customers have their own preference and we can not go against that. Happy customer = Repeat business :P

Juan's Reef Aquariums - 10 years ago

agreed!
