I just looked at all your videos.
I really like the flow and the way it is setup. What is in the sump besides the skimmer? Live rock? Are you only cycling with the bacteria? A bit worried on when the real cycle begins and everything starts on your rock structure, which is very nice by the way.

I saw that video of them feeding right after you uploaded it. I subscribed to your youtube channel too.
Personally I would add quite a bit of new live rock on there since you are adding the bacteria to make the other live rock also. This will seed it so when the bacteria drop off it will be much less of a issue adding new/more rock for the sump. Thanks for the update.

Nice feeding video. While I do think it is neat to have them eat out of your hand, you might want to consider what is on your hands from soap, cleaning chemicals, bacteria, or other gunk. I saw this evident at a friends once when I was at a low angle and a film appeared across the whole tank from him putting his hands in the tank. Just a point to think about.

Haha so I subscribed to your channel given the links you shared in your thread. I completely forgot about this so when I was watching your videos while I was going through my subscriptions I was thinking, "Man, this tank looks strikingly familiar."
Now I know why. I recently watched the feeding video and enjoyed it. Thanks for the share! |
