Here are 2 short videos showing the fish, reef and shoaling tangs......





An amazing tank you're creating here - I've just found the thread. I really enjoyed the videos, even though I was wondering why you hadn't recorded any sound until there was a faint noise from somewhere else in the house - impressively quiet!

Hi and thank you, and thanks for stopping by and saying hello

The tank is very quiet as you heard, or didn't. The Abyzz a200 is absolutely silent and the NYOS Quantum 300 is also nearly silent. The most I can hear are the fans on the Radions but overall I’m very pleased with it.

In think the faint noise was me trying to be quiet whilst shuffling my feet access the floor trying not to fall over ! Lol

Everything is looking beautiful! Glad it seemed to work spreading around the aggression a little bit. Hopefully it'll hold and you can keep the nitrates in check relatively easily, as well.
Thanks. I’m trying to avoid using Nopox if I can. I’ve added 8 litres of the Seachem Matrix and I’ll test again at the weekend but everything is going to plan so far (hopefull!y!)

Hey Shaun... with all that superior brain power and prowess, I find it difficult to understand how you have not incorporated music into your videos. I mean, at the very least, one can put on some music through a stereo, or even a TV, in the background. :D

As for trying not to fall over; if you're not falling over you're drinking the wine wrong! ;Hilarious

Matrix is great stuff. I ran it in a canister on my 125 before i drained it and drilled. Kept everything solid. Under 10 no3. For 6 months. It will work :)

Sorry to hear u have a rogue YT. They are toughies.

Save water, drink wine. ;)

Shaun told me the video was for only a select few to see. Apparently, you weren't on the list! Lol ;Hilarious
Well then... I'll take my grey puppon and head to the next thread.

Lol!

It was available for a limited time only, and the select few ! Lol

I didn’t like it, the lights weren’t right, the yellow tang complained it made him look fat, and told me to do a better one, so I ‘accidentally’ deleted it.

For those who missed it and anybody else here’s a coral picture instead!
