My Old 55 Gallon Coral Reef Aquarium

This is an old video of my 55 gallon, hope you enjoy. In the past year I sold this aquarium and started a 30 gallon, but I had to sell the 30 gallon because I am going off to college.

I currently have an 11.4 gallon in the works. Here are some links to my builds:

@MrReefguy It is hard to pinpoint an exact problem in a reef tank since corals require such a broad spectrum of specific conditions. The problem could be anything from high nitrates, low calk/alk/ph, high phosphates, over or under feeding, excessive or not enough lighting, salinity levels, or something like not enoughor too much flow. If you could provide me with a brief description of your tank's specifications and parameters, I am sure I could help you further.

A very informative and useful video. Thanks! Do you feed your calustra? If so what with?

[Jruberti]

@Hythe1000 Oh, you were throwing the scientific name out there lol When I had the tank up and running I fed them a mix of mysis and marine cuisine with some garlic like once a week. I bought them as a frag of 2 heads, and I had them in my 30g before I sold it and ended up with 30-40 heads.

[Jruberti]

[Jruberti]
