It’s been 2 1/2 months and I’m just now turning my lights on 20% intensity. Wish me luck. 😂

Nice job being able to wait! Good luck!!! I think you'll find it was worth waiting if you've even been through the ugly stage and cycle with lights on lol if not just take our word for it 😅 its not called ugly for nothing

That's the right way and old way. The way I started 26 years ago. Only thing is, did you add ANY REAL LIVE ROCK?

these HNSA aquascapes might be pretty cool to use in freshwater african cichlid tank aswell. specificly lake malawi mbunas then. I know this is al primarily salwater/ reef tanks. but a lot of these solution can be used in freshwater aswell, with some small adjustments from time to time 😜

I think you are spot on… I have been building my HNSA for a while… I do something, then sit and come back and get inspired and do something else… I found that rushing led me to building parts I didn’t care for then taking it apart… What I would add to this and maybe even make a few episodes on would be how to build this when thinking of coral placement… maybe HNSA for coal? Rock is easy to visualize because it’s right in front of you, building rock with coral as part of the fishes habitat is the next level

I like just stacking the rock myself, like you said you will have it the life of the aquarium. If I stack it 2 yr from now I can change it to accommodate coral growth or bigger caves when the fish mature.

Yeah you did a Biome series.......but didn't complete it. Please give us the final outcomes you had proposed. Nice video here though👍

We have something like that light purple mini tunnel on the left. We flipped it upside down and attached a rock across the two ledges going to another rock. The spot designed opening which is now on top is now used to be the opening to a new wider tunnel/ arch and the overhang(which is originally designed to be the bottom) became the home to our clowns. Those premade shapes are great and have some solid unintended uses.

So I could buy a bag of Ocean Direct Live, put it in a container in my sump for a month then take it out to seed my tank?

Has there been any thought that the reason the ocean has such low nitrate/phosphate and corals thrive is bc there’s the flow is always carrying a constant stream of new?

Are they artificial corals on that aquascape

Seems like you missed the fact that most 4" bio blocks have more surface area to grow bacteria than a 6ft tank full of live rock or the fact that live rock just fills full of silt anyways.... Put the right Bio blocks in your sump and skip all the problems live rock causes (which generally out ways all the benefits) and makes it far easier to maintain both the amount of waste removing bacteria (for those suffering low nutes) and ensure the availability/health of those bacteria colonies is always at a consistent level (being able to easily remove and rinse the silt out of the media). Live rock is easily the worst long term solution both for the environment and for your tank, instead use Bio blocks seeded with bacteria and renewably sourced dry rock and use live pods to seed the tank. Recommending live rock is the same as saying "don't chase numbers", it is what you do if you don't know any better.......
