BRILLIANT!!!

how often do you have to clean your canister filter?

can you also include the names of the items so we can find it

@mikeymikemike czcams.com/video/9Q_sh42NNd8/video.html One of several videos on the testing for vibrios. Eco balance may provide some benefits battling vibrio imbalance.

Hello Mike which model macro algae reactor Thank you

is there any specific vinegar brand you are using? TIA

I need info on how to plumb canister filter to reactor. Don’t they also pump water? I’m brand new. No set up yet, just a tank and a can filter

Where are your nitrates usually around ?

I started with a CAN on my first tank setup. I made that decision after watching this and many other videos on running CAN's on reef tanks. Honestly this kind of setup is very niche, such as having that particular CAN with the heater integrated and doing all your piping in glass or acrylic. I ended up just being over whelmed with HOB equipment that would normally be down in the sump area. I am now planning on migrating my current tank to a larger one that actually uses a SUMP system. I honestly wish I had just went the SUMP route to begin with.

WE NEED MORE UPLOADS BRO

hey Dude where have you been???

One mp40 🤯🤯

You don't miss a skimmer?

what kind of media you run inside that canister?

I am about to run my first saltwater tank. I was thinking of using Glass Lily Pipes! Thanks for confirming for me.

Too bad that you stop posting video on CZcams

Why no new videos?

No updates in 2 years. Is the tank still running?

I have never heard of using calcium carbonate , good video, how would you make a batch for a 10 gallon tank

Currently setting up a dual canister filter reef tank, learning so much from your videos, any updates on your tank?

I'm thinking of getting a 60x24x24 565 litres with 2 oase biomaster 850's. Would that be okay?

you can cascade two or more🤡

Can you update ? 2024

Love this tank and how you’re running it! I also have a 4 foot tank that I’m wanting to turn into a reef tank. I want to keep things as simple as possible; also wanting to use a canister filter, power head, and iwagumi-style approach.

mike where are you. been 2 yrs. what no more videos. I was enjoying them

Hey Dude why did you stop to create videos?

What canister filter is that and the phos unit. Can someone tag the product

Hi mikey. thank you for 2:34 all the info I just adding life source wondering if I should turn off my skimmer for few hours or not

Hello, i'm going to use a canister filter on my 19 gallons and i'm kinda lost about flow rates, which could be a good number for this one?

How loud is that filter compared to others?? *Beautiful* tank!

I need help. I have that same lily pipe but it’s 3/4 from my old topfin canister filter I have the fx6 now, the hoses are a weird size in metric " 1 inch" but not quite 1 inch I can’t find a surface skimmer anywhere that fits the factory hoses so I don’t have to do anything redneck Tank is in living room “center piece”

I love your tank, Mike.

Interesting, as I’m thinking about converting my 90 gal. Discus tank to a fish only tank with my FX-4. Now I don’t have a pre filter like yours so I have to figure out an easier way to do it, but beautiful set up!! BTW what lighting system do you use and the flow of that wave maker is pretty awesome!!

Hello, is the background of your aquarium light blue or are they a gradient? the color looks very pretty

Personal develompent and aquarism... nice baby.

Smart guy and marine tank is a perfect conclusion of this shit of "hobby-adiction"... Congratulations.

FUCKING GENIUS, THANKS.

Hey just stumbled across your channel and I'm in the middle of getting all my gear to mirror your setup. This will be my first aquarium, so alot is going to be trial and errorl Just wondering how your setup been going? Wouldn't mind a list of all your equipment you use. Setup Im looking at 5" Tank (400L) x2 OASE 600 Canister Tunze 3181 Algae Reactor What ATO and Dosing system do you use?

Chemiclean is the answer to cyanobacteria, used and recommended by the best reefers, icluding Marc Leverson and Jake Adams. Cheap, easy,reef safe and super quick results.

You can never beat it. You just keep the cyano clear. Its in all drinking water, bathing water, rodi filters. Everything. It even lives inside your body. Best of luck to you

chemical exchange? i cant see anything braking the surface of the tank. oxidation of the water? i large part of a sump refuge is putting oxygen into the water . removing ammonia. and extra bacteria and CUC

Can you make a video of replacing the media in each of the baskets?

I’ve been at this since I was 7 years old. Grandfather gave me a 10 gallon tank for my birthday. So almost 50 years at this. For me it’s about filtration flow and dedication to cleaning. I invested in cleaning tools and a set schedule for my aquariums I currently have. 20, 75, 90, 180, and two 225 gallon tanks. I only speak for myself but I use canister filters for all my saltwater aquariums. I water change each aquarium every other week, on a rotating schedule since I have several lol and clean every filter once a month. My levels are always perfect. I also use a lot of live rock, a large team of cleaner shrimp and I oversized the canisters because the flow ratings are marketing hype. The ratings are based on zero pump height with no media basically setting the pump next to the aquarium and empty, how much water can the pump push. Setting a water pump under an aquarium (as almost all are except for custom setups) makes the pump work harder. Basic physics. All filtration media also make the pump work harder, further reducing flow of gallons per hour. With all that said, a properly sized canister, cleaned regularly, more than gets the job done. A lot of guys with CZcams channels show you that they clean their canister filters once every 3-6 months or longer. You have a beautiful setup by the way.

what wavemaker is that?

I know I'm late to the party but I just purchased the exact same equipment. How did you attach the filter to the reactor? The Hoses are totally different sizes. Thanks!

The new auto top units have such small optical sensors. They do not interfere with the style of the tank. And they are safe enough.

Great video. Well explained 👏 I've been doing the same, adding very little 2ppm nitrate every few weeks. As nitrates sitting at 5ppm phosphates always trying to head down to zero from 0.02, I'm adding elos phosphate 4ppm every 3 days to keep this at 0.02ppm. Testing now with the smart tester by reeffactory as super accurate.My gonipora likes a little dirty water and struggle when lower levels.

How is it going? I am interested to join using the canister filter for my saltwater tank, and how do you use auto top off for the water? if not using a sump

Hi Mike, Marvelous video/s. I run an Oase 850 with the heater, and I love it. And I run a twist 9 watt UV. Where and how would I hook up the Tunze Algae Reactor? And those wonderful clear glass pipes going into the tank. Maybe you could do a video just showing how all that is hooked up and installed? It looks super! Thanks

Do you have a skimmer? I was always told you need a good skimmer to Carbon Dose.
