750 gal reef feeding time

[shmoga]

i have a 6 gallon tank ive spent hours looking into. i couldnt imagine how much time id spend looking into 750 gallons. i feel bad when one crab dies. macro looks alot better then micro.

[dksharktooth]

How do you deal with the noise and water changes?

[Mamboleo1995]

how much did all that cost? sooooo col! :]

[dkvn911]

man. just wanna know how much did you invest in this tank. love it man.

[shortyboi3]

dam how often do you have to buy food

[firebirdude2]

I tired posting a video of an 800 gallon tank, but it wont let me. Search youtube for "paul aqua scaping something" That tank looks like it's twice the size of yours.

beautiful tank

[MrTvshowuploader4]

do u have a caclium reactor in this tank? what does calcium reactor do to the corals?

[SeanoHermano]

Wow! This is a really beautiful tank! :) I currently have a 29 gallon with 1 coral beauty, 2 pacific cleaner shrimp, 2 turbo snails. and 4 dwarf hermit crabs (2 blue leg, 2 red tip). I just bought a 55 gallon and will set it up in about a month when I move. I will add 45lb LR, 3 neon damsels, 1 green clown goby, and 1 orange spotted goby, and possibly a see star. I want one more larger fish after that and another group of schooling fish. Maybe a clam once I'm set up for a while. Any suggestions?

[tywtly13]

Nice! Just curious: what are you feeding here?

[TRUTOKA574]

did all your coral start small and get big cuz i got a 3 month old tank and the coral is small and looks bare. will it grow and fill out my tank

[biggunsar]

uhhhh, why not get rid of 2/3rd of the fish and NEVER have to do water changes. Just make yourself a DIY denitrator. Bam, done. Little to no work for your fish tank.

[morleyrox]

that dosn't look nearly as nice as this tank.

[youmantube22]

yea. then you have to start supplementing a ton after a year or so. strontium and calcium dont last forever

[ctenochaetus]

NEVER have to do a water change? LOL Who told you that you don't need a water change especially in a salt water aquarium. U do need to do water changes but no vacium in a salt water aquarium.

[TheOneAndOnlyProdigy]

Lazy ass. lol It wouldn't look how it is now..incredible. duhhh

[Thiswarisours56212]

nice tank! and fish all i got is my dempsey convict and knife fishes(african brown)

[runescore255]

THAT IS JUST AWESOME!!!

[TimF12345678]

thats a sweet, what do you have for lighting?

[tequestajoe]

first off beautiful tank. and i know its a 750 gal. but i still think you have to many fish it there because they probably can't get there share of food during feeding time. for them to get there fair share of food you would have to feed them like a whole package of food a day. and your biological waste in the tank produced by the fish may be to strong and over time may hurt your corals and you may start to loose fish unless you do constant water changes.

[quader94]

skimmers break all that stuff down

and yes water changes are a must weekly - every 2 weeks

[TheOneAndOnlyProdigy]

This guys obviously knows what he's doing. He's got a 750gal for christ sakes!! The fish and corals are thriving so I highly doubt he's gonna listen to ur 2 cents. Nice try though.

[icemancometh14]

just some friendly advice, you might alleviate some of the congestion of feeding time if you fed them in multiple areas of the aquarium. Looks AWESOME BTW!!!

[longballz84]

he's feeding them all in one area so we can see all the fish....duh

[flyky]

wow thats HUGE. i wish my 100 looked like that

[thatguyfrance]

you sure it's a 750g? because that tank is very small to be a 750... looks like a 250-300g to me...

[dca22anderson]

120" x 48" x 30" are the dimensions of this tank...I checked it out on the reefcentral volume calculator...748.1gal. Thanks for checking it out.

[firebirdude2]

@dca22anderson So you're saying that tank is 10ft long? Doesn't look like it. Pretty deep though. Surely over 300 gallons. Regardless, sweet tank man. An enough fish already. LOL

[damomahon]

god dam how big is your tank!!!!!!!!

i have just set up a 60 gallon and thats big to me. wow wow wow !

[dca22anderson]

750 gal...you can have almost as much fun with your 60! Thanks for checking it out!

[HobbyKing1000]

@dca22anderson I just bought a 55 gallon fish tank off of craigslist and im putting fish in tomorrow ill have video of it up.

[klikak]

beutiful fish

[dca22anderson]

Thanks for checking it out!

[dca22anderson]

Thanks for checking it out!

[Guitar5525]

That tank is absolutely amazing!

A people are shocked when I tell them about my 72 gallon!

Wow, 750.......I can only imagine how much that must have cost!

[dca22anderson]

Lots of clams! Same price as a used boat!

[grader44]

how big is your unicorn fish and how long did it take to get that big? really nice setup.

[dca22anderson]

He is about 11" and we have had him for 2 years...1 year in the 300 gal and 1 year in the 750 gal. Thanks!

[Guitar5525]

my reef has cost me over $2000 in only 1 month and I got the tank and stand for free!

[dca22anderson]

That's awesome...do you have it up and running?

[Guitar5525]

Yep, I have a emeral mithrax and 4 trochus snails in there now, I plan to pick up 7 neon gobies next weekend.

[justinwwwalin]

jeez how much did that all cost?

[dca22anderson]

about 20k clam shells over 10 years! Not really...I stopped counting! :)

[justinwwwalin]

ah. did u build the tank your self? or did u buy it?

[dca22anderson]

about 20K clams! just kidding...not really sure at this point...I had to stop counting!

[Guitar5525]

I jus got a 72 gallon and am cycling it right now with live rock. I plan to put in royal gramma, percula clowns, neon gobys, yellow tang, yellow-tail blue damsels and 5 cleaner shrimp. Some zoas, frogspawn and stuff for corals. Can't wait till it's done!

[dca22anderson]

That sounds awesome! Let me know when you have your video of your tank going...I would love to see it!

[dca22anderson]

That sounds awesome!Let me know when you have your video up and running...I would love to check it out!

[Guitar5525]

Once again very nice tank keep up the good work!

[Guitar5525]

How much live rock per gallon you got in there?

Very nice I love those little black and white striped fish. The ones with the really high dorsel fin. What are those called?

[dca22anderson]

I probablly only have 1lb per gallon. Those are called Black And White Heniochus butterfly fish. They have done great in pairs in our reef.

[tetsu3000]

Wow! Really awesome aquarium! What type,color, and wattage of light do you use to achieve such great colors? Also, what do you feed your fish?

Thanks for sharing your reef with us!

[dca22anderson]

We have 4-400 watt MH bulbs, 2-10k & 2-20k. We also have 4-6' actinic and 4 10k VHO bulbs.

Krill, brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, Nori, flake foods, silversides and some pellets are the main diet for the fish.

Thanks for checking it out!

[Guitar5525]

ok just wanted to ask cause I know some people starve their piranhas and such to whip them up into a feeding frezy for youtube. That's a very nice tank you got there. I got a bunch of freshwater and brackish tanks but none saltwater. Thinking of trying it someday. what would be a good starter reef fish?

[dca22anderson]

I have had great luck with yellow tangs, damsels, and maroon clownfish. The ones on the videos I used to cycle the tank when I set it up. :)

[Guitar5525]

Wow very nice looking tank! Hope you didn't starve your fish so they would eat really fast. Looks like you know what you're doing anyway so good work, very nice tank.

[dca22anderson]

I feed these guys 3 time a day on most days. They always act starving! Thanks for checking it out! :)
