Awesome video, thank you!

What wave maker are you using?

What wave maker are you using?

It’s Red Sea reefwave 25. It was on a little bit larger tank but it works great for this one too. I have it set on random flow 10% forward for 2 min and 100% back for 25 and flow is awesome.

I should also mention that I swapped out the filter socks for a filter cup from Kraken Reef and will never look back.

What size filter cup is it, 2 or 4"?

Thanks, I have access to a small 3d printer and may try to make one.

I have been fighting an outbreak of algae, not sure if it's GHA or what but I've been scrubbing off the rocks and substrate and syphoning it out or scooping it out with a fish net. I think I almost have it under control but now I need to figure out what caused it in the firts place.

Here is a full tank shot, everything is growing very well! I'll try to get some individual coral pictures!

New weekly update, took a different full tank shot and got some up-close pics of my corals:

Nice build! I’ve been thinking about picking one of these up.

How’d you end up getting the algae under control? Manual removal mostly? I have a bit of a hair/turf algae problem that I’m trying to correct with Fluconazole.

 

[Thunderrap]

I did a mix of manual removal and a tuxedo urchin! He has been feasting ever since and it seems to be keeping any algae under control.

Small update on my tank. I've started feeding BRS Reef Chili and holy crap do all of my corals love this stuff. I have NEVER seen a feeding response from anything else like I get from the Reef Chili. Also, now I'm going to have to figure out how to frag zoa's as my Pandora colony is starting to get a little too big.

How are you liking your skimmer

 

[Thunderrap]

How are you liking your skimmer

I love it, i will say that the pump started to die on me but a quick email to CoralVue support with my proof of purchase and what wasn’t going on they had a replacement pump in the Mail the next day! I will happily buy their products going forward because their support was fantastic.

As for the skimmer itself, it is a beast of a machine. It produces some quality skimmate and is super easy to clean.

Please pay attention to the traffic cones and slow down when passing

Thank you @Porkenchop for these amazing hats!

What are your AI prime settings?

I will get you a copy of the settings this evening but I use a modified version of the one off of @WWC website for their 24g nano. It’s near the bottom of the page.

Hi
whats the setup for the back section where the skimmer is? Where’s your heater all that stuff a picture would be great.
Did you get the light schedule worked out?

Hey, @jopo4343 I've added the pictures of the back of my tank. How I have it set up is the second chamber is where my heater, protein skimmer, and light mount are located. In the third chamber are my temp probe and ATO. Sadly no I kinda forgot about getting the light schedule figured out but let me see if I can do that really quick.
