here's part two of the update on the 75
gallon i'm going to get into parameters
i'm going to show you the feeding
technique what i feed how much whatever
i didn't get into in the first one i'm
gonna finish in the second one did i do
dosing pumps last week i think i did
have i thanked you guys enough for
subscribing and you guys you regulars
that come back leave comments i really
appreciate that thumbs up help too guys
you know if you want me to keep making
videos i have to earn a little doe
on adsense so the more views i get and
thumbs up and comments
that helps let's get right into it no
messing around
[Music]
all right parameters so let me start out
by saying this guys
there's definitely a range of parameters
that are good to know about but every
tank is different i've said this in
other videos i've said it a million
times
[Music]
what i strive for
is around 9 9dkh
calcium is about 450
magnesium is usually around 1300.
8.1 to 8.3
ph
and nitrate is usually zero i've been
experimenting with nitrate this time
around on this tank
i'd like to see what happens if my
nitrate gets around the five parts per
million range
my concern as always
is unwanted algae
[Music]
and phosphate i like to keep that
under point one
[Music]
all right for my auto top off i'm using
two auto aqua pumps and sensor
to service the 75 gallon and my 20
gallon as you can see i have the days
set up there i get five days
out of five gallons
in the return compartment you can see
the sensor to the left and when the
water level goes down below it it comes
on and triggers the pumps and fills it
back to level i use two little fishy's
kalkwasser a quarter of a teaspoon per
gallon okay here's my food and my
feeding tools if you want to call it a
couple cups some plastic bags
and this is what i use to feed the fish
i use a san francisco bay brand marine
cuisine
the multi-packed has a variety of food
and i also use the emerald entree since
i've gotten the tang
that's for omnivore fish so that has
some algae and a mixture of different
things what i do is i cut these larger
cubes into small cubes like this and i
separate them out into different bags
it's kind of hard to tell which is which
when they're all mixed together so i put
these and keep those frozen i thaw three
of these small cubes in a cup of
aquarium water and i feed once per day
here's s a
hatchery diet this is from sustainable
aquatics and these are slow sinking
pellets this is the 0.8 millimeter size
and i use these prior to feeding the
frozen food almost as a vitamin they're
really good i've noticed in the past
that my fish are a lot more colorful
when i feed these so i do feed these
once per day also
[Music]
i put the food in these small cups and i
let them thaw so while the frozen food
is thawing i feed the hatchery diet
here's the slow sinking pellets and the
fish really go nuts for this they really
like it i like to use the turkey baster
down in here so i can get the food right
in around the fish they're used to the
turkey baster i let them eat a little
bit of it and then i'll go back in and
feed more i also did this initially
because the yellow tang was very
shy didn't want to go near the other
fish and he didn't go up near the top so
the turkey baster allows me to get the
fish food down towards the middle of the
tank
i feed the rock flower and enemies the
same thing
once per week i'll shoot some down in
their area and they'll close up on it
i wanted to point out too
that daily they get a little bit from my
fish feeding you know the current brings
it down and they get a little
[Music]
i do the same things with my duncan's
paleos here and my zoa's once per week i
direct feed and then the other days of
the week they usually catch some from my
fish feeding
[Music]
so
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
