My 75G Reef Tank (Update)

[bottlenacan]

This is a tank to die for

[hugonicollay]

i had an madarin fish , it's vary beutiful , but your reef need somethings more , has many fish and anither lifes but don't have estructuri

[italiansexmachine]

Amazing tank bro! good song too, keep up the good work, im in the process of cycling mine.

[AweSomo84]

wow

[The1Dragon1]

nice setup....

[candyraver69]

I really love your tank. It must have taken a lot of time and money to get such a gorgeous result. Too many people have reef tanks with a couple bleached out pieces of rock and a couple tiny coral and it just looks so barren. Your reef tank looks ALIVE. One of the nicest I've seen.

How can i Clean The algae From My Sand?

[CunningStunt123]

@2424Anthony You can't really clean it as such, but as long as you turn it over regularly it should be fine. I started using a gravel vac and found that this was enough to keep it looking whiter. essentially your just moving the unexposed substrate to the surface, while moving the algae to the bottom where it dies off.

[PillBoy305]

@2424Anthony i just found this vid, but anyways i just got a purple tang and had several types of algae on the sand, kept re growing and would constantly be there... purple tang... fucking destroyed all the bad algae in the tank. also bullet gobies can help with sand problems

[TheReef009]

very nice  full of colour

[sgtbarone]

absolutly beautiful. what amazing colors. your live rock looks fantastic

[louieboy1974]

i also have a 75 gallon sw tank. what is the ideal wave pump should i use. currently im using a seio 1100 wave pump -- just gave this to me by a friend of mine. not sure if it is a correct pump for 75g.

[eblocker1016]

the black glass is dark. is it painted or tinted? whatever it is it looks great!

[moofdebowl]

Cunning stunt are you on MASA?

[MrTiger36544]

@moofdebowl I was wondering what type of lighting your using along with filtration...IT LOOKS AMAZING !! I have a 75 gallon that I am just starting up and I cant seem to get rid of the Diatoms and now ALL my rock is turning green. Any Ideas?

[robnlibby]

I think this is my favorite tank on You Tube. I want to live in your tank. Color color color!

[samuelwaynefoleyjr]

CunningStunt123 i'm new at coral and i know mushrooms don' tneed a lot of light but how much light for a 29 gallon do you think they need and for traceelements anythign?

[AcanLord]

I am inclined to say they will survive just about everything short of Being Eaten by a Predator. I have a few, some of which have migrated into Dark recesses, These ones lost there Zooxanthellae And don`t photo synthesize. Yet they Still persist regardless.

[rsputin12]

sweet tank bro!! btw wats the name of this kick ass song?

[UVZombie]

wow this has got to be the most beautiful tank i have ever seen.

most tanks arnt so colorful.

[666psychadellic]

how much does everything in the tank cost and how much a month to keep it up i have the tank and filters and power heads etc. i just need to stock it

[Rodsfam]

Beautiful colors !!! nice job ...

[moofdebowl]

thats nice. With mushrooms do you buy them in different colours or do they change colour under certain lighting conditions?

[CunningStunt123]

Thank you. The Mushrooms look brighter under some light, but dont change colour. If they're blue when you get em, they stay blue!!

[mundegus]

2 thumbs up for me, took me many goes to finnaly maintain elegance corals. yours look very happy! they are a tough coral to keep. congratulations! continue the good work pls post when more stocked!

[grapple69]

love the song and the tank!

[charzarg]

such an amazing tank :D

I've just got a new tank pretty similar to yours what arrived today, hopefully it will look a little something like this in the end :D

Keep up the good work with yours!! :D

[cesar333]

Wow very nice tank. I have a 75 gallon too. What are your specs?

[leemc814]

yes i say it is a very beautiful tank bro,i see quite a few people comented on your choice of putting a sailfin tang in your tank.i have a purple tang in my 75 gal and i am now wondering if it was a bad choice,you can check my video if you like it is karlee's 75 gal reef and i just upgraded the video please tell me what you think.

[CunningStunt123]

Thankyou, I checked out your video, your tank is amazing. Well done! As for the tang, well I think you may have made the same "bad" choice as me. Enjoy it while it's small, then talk yourself into upgrading your tank if possibl!!

[palmbeauties]

Hi can I ask you what kind of lighting you are using pls. I MEAN all you corals etc. are huge and open really well. Thanks

[ralphyralph71]

great tank bro... but i feel bad for the sailfin tang because they are big swimmers and they need a minimum of 130g to be in a perfect environment.. awsome tank though !!!

[CunningStunt123]

Agreed, except for the "perfect environment". I would still say their perfect environment is the ocean, but why split hairs lol! The sailfin was a bad choice for this tank, but I can't get it out of there. I've tried various traps and netting techniques to no avail. Perhaps it was just meant to be. Thanks for your comment.

[politirel]

Yes the sailfin is a mistake I'm afraid, it looks really out of place in there, the other fish look a bit scared of it too, just keep trying to catch it that's all. A flame hawkfish would look great in there, (really amusing fish) or a couple of sexy shrimp, nice and cheap too.

[CoonBabble]

sexy tank

[xy781227xy]

Your tank looks amazing the lighting looks really nice with the mushrooms and the cataphyllia, well done. Do u have an update?

[mareklittlebritain]

i will get there one day!!! amazing.:-))))

mine is not a patch on yours! but at least i am trying if you care to see it on here titled: marek's reef aquarium

[obiethepimp]

a homes i have a water melon chaclice and a black scoripian acan homes and i have some hard cord shit up in my aquarium siiiimon

[CunningStunt123]

Water melon chalice looks awesome. I wish I could have some hard core shit like that, but my lights aren't strong enough.

[AhSiang32]

Stunning man! Wow! I love the reddish purple colours of your corals. By the way, how you manage your huge Elegance corals? Are they hard to keep? May i know wat you feed them with?

[obiethepimp]

whats the name of this song esse?

[CunningStunt123]

it's called "So cold" by Breking Benjamin. It's an awesome track.

[scyber2]

hey just wondering how much did this cost you? cuz i'm your tank is amazing and I"d love to have one one day. but the price seems to dwell into the 4k+ is that the case here?

[jayson11345]

with all this guys corals in the tank

its easily around 4k

[CunningStunt123]

I guess thats about right. Over 2 years though... not in one hit. I used to add it all up but soon discovered that this practice was not a great idea, especially when the wife sees how much it cost!!

[scyber2]

[CunningStunt123]

Thank you! I checked out your channel. Some awesome skill there!

[hardrockerjkt69]

Stunning...beautiful fish tank indeed.

great job mate !! cheers

[FSUNole05]

Nice tank man.Coraline Algae looks good. I hate those chromis though, so ugly!

[CunningStunt123]

G'day, lights are on for 10hrs everyday. 10am to 8pm. I have them come on a bit later in the day, so when I get home they are still on for me to enjoy the tank. Cheers.

[cutietwo22]

how long do you leave your lights on a day? beautiful tank btw:)

[Devilsfan123456]

What is that coral highlighted in the video at 0:27

[CunningStunt123]

Is that a trick question?? he he he, there are three! One is a Brain common name is moonstone brain (bottom left). There is a Frogspawn (top right) and the one at the bottom is a mystery to me, but it's growing beautifully! Cheers.

[anarchyclayman]

i agree with riseandfloat,

absolutely beautiful.

[sh4ll00w]

beautiful tank!!!

[riseandfloat]

this tank is simply phenomonal. the obvious popping of the contrast in colors certainly adds to the visual aspect but not so much (in my opinion) as the variety of specimens you have successfully housed. awesome job my friend.

[CunningStunt123]

Thank you so much. I have been Lucky!

[lakerchiva1]

fuck you

[CunningStunt123]

Thank you. You're too kind.

[lakerchiva1]

how much money did you waste on the coral?

[akareefkeeper]

waste? what an idiot!

[CunningStunt123]

he he he, thanks for your support. Everyone has their own opinion, though most people don't seem to understand that others often don't care what it is!

[extrasuperpowr]

Man, I really really like your color scheme in here. So well executed. I think I may lean in a more overall red theme into mine.

[deeone82]

I 2 have a 75g reef and it's not half as nice as yours good job

[CunningStunt123]

Hmmm, not in this tank. This setup is coral only. You may be confusing the Cataphylia with an Anemone. Thanks for stopping by.

[tooled101]

Awsome tank, got any live rock setup pics? Just got my 75g setup and looking for ideas for the design. let me know

[CunningStunt123]

G'day, I don't have any pics of just the rock stage. but as a rule when I'm setting up a new tank, I pick a big piece of rock, put it to one side of the tank towards the back, then just try eack piece at a time to see which ones fit together in the most stable way. I couldn't say I've ever gone for a specific design, with the rock at least. I dont really have a lot of rock in this tank, just enough to place the corals where I wanted them. Good luck with your setup, post a vid!

[riseandfloat]

that is a badass tank. don't get much better than that. everything is spread out nice, not too crowded. awesome aquascaping. this is all under compact fluorescents?

[CunningStunt123]

Thanks! Always nice to hear such positive feedback. Believe it or not the lighting are standard Fluoro's, this tanks been up for three years, and the corals seem to be well satisfied with what most would think is sub standard lighting.

[DitherSwitch]

I like all of the mushyrooms.

[GraffFreak7]

i see your polyps are doing great must mean you have a healthy tank for them to be spreadng like that! great

[jpetrucci05]

Beautfiul reef, excellent color on your corals. Did you use red slime remover to get rid of the cyano? Im very weary of chemicals in any of my tanks, but it got out of control to the point where I tried it and it worked well. No harm to fish or invertebrates.

[CunningStunt123]

Hi there. I too am very conscious of using any sort of chemical remedy. I bought about 15 very small hermit crabs, after siphoning off all the cyano bacteria, I also do weekly water changes of 20L now. Together, these have all helped keep the substrate nice and clean!! The other practice I have adopted is to gravel vac the front of the tank, I never used to, but have found this also helps in keeping the gravel "turned over". thanks for stopping by.

[alextheromanian]

how do you get everything to turn so putpule...i have 2 spots of purpule no bigger than a quarter waters fine plus i dose with purpule up

[CunningStunt123]

Hmmm, I guess I must just be lucky!! I've never really tried to encourage coraline algae growth, but was surprised when it started. I really only add calcium, strontium, magnesium, and iodide, perhaps its a combo of these items that stimulates its growth. I only use a three bar fluro, so i doubt that lighting has anything to do with it. Thnks for checking out my vid.

[lordsimple]

*2 thumbs up* - Great fish, hard to care for in a small aquarium. Not many will eat frozen, you're very lucky!

Great tank.

[lordsimple]

Does that Manderin Dragonet have enough pods to eat with just the rock in your 75 or do you have to suppliment the tank with pods for him to eat? It seems that with your fish load and only a 75, he would starve to death.

[CunningStunt123]

Hi there. Believe it or not she's doing just great. Very plump and much larger than when I got her now. There's lots for her to pic at, as I really only have one fish that competes for food with it (a six line wrasse). I also target feed her brine and mysis shrimp every second day, which she gobbles up very quickly. Thanks for posting.

[pn45]

what can i say "amazing"

[jmfortgang]

if that elegance coral is still alive, you dam man. I sold all of my corals, now i just add r/o water and thats it. too much work.

[eric2k6k]

my bad awesome tank man

[justinwwwalin]

hey i know this has nothing to do with your tank but i was looking for some help. i have a 55 gallon reef tank and i had two anemones in it and they both died now my tank is really cloudy and my yellow tang is dieing. is this from the anemones? or something else?

[CunningStunt123]

Theres a good chance the necrotic flesh of the anemones is poluting the tank. I assume of course they have been removed, but how long were they in there before you realised they had died? Of course the main plan of action would be to get the tang out to a quarantinte tank if one is available, do a couple large water changes and let the tank settle down, the reintroduce the Tang. Good luck.

[justinwwwalin]

yeah one was in there for awhile cuz it really had no signs of being dead untill i moved it and it fell apart. i took the tang out and put him in another tank hes way better now. i lost a copperband butterfly and a plate coral. i did a water change. the tank is looking better

[briannonsmom]

Very nice tank. Did you collect them yourself or are they store bought?

[CunningStunt123]

Their all store bought, its quite illegal to collect pretty much anything from Australian waters unless you have a specific permit (of course fishing is permitted, but regulated). Thanks for stopping by.

[Tjagshi]

I saw Nemo & Dorey!! I showed it to my kids as well and they were just excited to see that are real!!

[LilithOfGales]

Oh and what a sweet little dragonet you have:)

[CunningStunt123]

She is pretty, I'll let her know how impressed you were with her!! =)

[LilithOfGales]

great tank. Love all the colors:)

[beccaanne1]

omg thats gorgeous - love the colours!

[CunningStunt123]

Thankyou so much. I checked out your page, love the goldfish pond. Sometimes even the most common fish can show you how special they are. I loved the Black fantail at the end. Very Cute!

[glenno81]

Updated tank looks sweet mate
