70 Gallon reef on a Uni student's budget

Not my first, nor the largest tank I've taken care of but this is the largest tank I've had sole control of!

I love making videos about my reef on Instagram, so I thought I'd make a showcase post in video form too!

Pretty sweet setup! I like the pod station you have set up, i never had much luck breeding them!

I screw up pretty regularly but its always recoverable. Certainly doesn't help that the culture is tucked away out of sight

Good luck with the aptasia, need some natural predators!

Congrats on the setup! I will be following along. Is it easy or difficult to get corals and saltwater fish in HK?

Super cool! Love the set up and great video!

Get rid of those aiptasia! (Remove them yourself, then get Berghia nudibranchs to take care of the regrowth). Be consistent with your water changes or major elements dosing, and this tank is gonna be ON FIRE!
