hey guys
sorry about the
this video last week i had the serious
cold and cough you could probably hear
it
so anyway today
we're gonna go visit carl about two
years ago i think
i did a twin 20 gallon budget hang off
the back video
[Music]
where i featured his and we're gonna go
over there today and check in
and update you on what he's got going on
he says the tank is looking perfect i'm
gonna show you how he saves some money
some hob stuff
and all sorts of stuff so let's get
going we'll go right over there now
ready
all right i'm here guys let's take a
look at the hang off the backs first
my brother will be right down
all right the hang off the backs are
fluval
these are for 20 gallon
and this one here is a 50 gallon this
one for carbon or gfo
and this one is carbon or gfo i think
this looks like it's the carbon
and then this one here
this one here is gfo
all right
you'll have to fix those the hang off
the backs run between
30 and 75 this is the nano glow
over
the 50 gallon
for refusium hang off the back refusium
all right and this is the same on this
side this is a larger hang off the back
so he's got gfo
and
carbon in the same container just
separate bags and that's okay to do that
there they are it's like by spreading
these two out if you're
mechanics of it
what he did with the sensors on the ato
to make them work in the display let's
start out with the atos
what he's done i've gotten questions
about this in the past can you use an
ato
in a rim tank and in the display and if
you notice he's got it in an area where
there's not too much
water motion and he's had these up for
about a year now and the way he's
attached it let's keep in mind guys
diy
means do it yourself and any way you can
do it that you're satisfied with it
doesn't matter what he's done is he took
a piece from the overflow box this is a
piece
that holds the
filter media and he cut off the top and
then from that he attached the sensor
the magnet goes behind it so you can see
that it extends out over the rim
and then the magnet holds the sensor in
place and then any way you connect it to
the side of the tank is the way to go
that's the ato aqua light by the way and
there's the container and then he's done
one in the other tank obviously it's the
same
and there's the container down there so
that's the ato setup what i want to show
you is the lighting all right show me
the lighting in here all right so the
finex lighting
this is like
149 bucks for this
okay a little bit more but it's got a
remote
and
uh what now your photo period on this is
the lights come on when i set it for
noon time okay noon time show me the
noontime lights when they come on
okay that's noon time all right now if
you want to go up a little bit like a
little bit brighter
what would be the next okay so this goes
up so you can see it gets a little more
manually you're using the remote to do
that with this this is finished
four levels
awesome
okay and max so now what would be the
next level up from here there's the max
absolutely yeah you can see that that's
that would be bright enough i mean i
can't guess par
but my guess is you're up near the top
you probably are at about 300 par and
this is the sensor
for the remote for the phoenix
light
so if you guys want a decent light
for 150 bucks
in that range that's
programmable
24 7.
this is the way to go
just remember guys this is
only filtered by the live rock and the
hang off the back filters alright let's
talk about the refugium now this is what
the refugium looks like
[Music]
[Applause]
really nice
and new viewers these really work
they really work you just have to
not over stuff them
and they work really well and you have
this on reverse photo period it comes on
at night goes on all night long and
comes off during the day
there it is and then flow
what kind of flow pump is this
the one in the back right on the right
hand tank well i see they they uh have a
magnet on the outside that holds them in
place
oh you did that
another diy what are they called aqua
need okay so 17
for two
right so this is 425 gallons per hour
and you got it flowing
on the back which is a good idea and
then obviously you're hanging off the
backs are adding quite a bit of flow and
obviously the tanks you're saving so
much money they're just all glass brand
tanks probably 30 or 40 dollars all
right here's a quick look at the tank on
the right remember these are two
separate tanks great coraline growth
the mushrooms are looking awesome
[Music]
this is either frog spawn or torch and
then you got some zoanthids he's only
got one fish in here which is fine a
nice big fat maroon clown
[Music]
and he's got the blood red shrimp
this you said you had a mishap things
fell
so you're a little
things aren't opened up as much but this
side is this one's looking really really
nice
and the heater
and it's probably a 75 watt maybe 50
to keep this 20 gallon
right at 78 degrees
that's the twin 20 gallon setup
yeah that's really good well so a lot of
complaints though yeah well how much are
those three weeks are freaking 17 bucks
for the both of them for both
see and how long have you had them hold
on oh okay so 17
for two and you've had these how long
now there's one over here too
ah only a week so i have to cut that off
i thought you were gonna say like uh so
what i want to show you
is
i want you to
what i want to show you is the what i
want to show you is the lighting
you
