I have a question that I've been searching for that I cannot find answers too. I have about 5 pieces of rock that was pulled from my buddy's tank. A couple of them had aptasia on them and as far as the other ones they did not however I was looking for a way to kill everything on it so I can reuse it which I came across your video. My question is If I follow your steps with what you did with that old rock how do I introduce it to my tank which my tank is fully cycled with sand and a couple pieces of good rock already in it. Can i just add the rock straight from the RODI bath that its been soaking in?

you can call Bulk Reef Supply bulshit Reef Supply

I'm so thinking doing this, Dont know why more people don't do it, Much better then Filter sock or even Filter Roller, Do you have any issues with P04 using tap to clean?

I like in uk . And have a 450l reeftank.what fose would you recommend plese .and haw often

Thank you Love this video ❤

Horanje shoulder tang 😊

Does this not just tell you the glass temp tho and not the water temp?

Can you control your cell phone ?

24.3 can be good or bad depends on how your tank corals are doing

Good recovery 👍

I just got one for $10. I'd love to know if and how to clean it.

Bristleworms do not kill corals. They may steal food or eat dying ones but even a billion is no threat to a healthy coral of any type.

I hated bristle worms when I had a reef!

Torches can be picky already as it is but sorry you had corals die that sucks

Thank you for sharing I've been to this place twice and now going for my third trip back to the occidental xcaret. Chichenitsa is huge and spectacular a must see. Thank you for sharing with others that have no idea what's out their great filming.

i dont see any coralline algae. it seems like your tank is not consistent enough for coral. thats most likely why your torch is dying, not from the bristle worms

Get a Coral banded shrimp they eat bristle worms

Lumi lights now? What happened to Nicrew

Sorry about your corals dying off. Ive had a few dye and i narrowed it down to my foxface.

its not the bristleworms

Good to see Mr. Steve.. How your well.

Looking much better

Rocks are looking really clean .. bristle worms are a nightmare i had a problem with them years ago and made my own traps i have a video of making them

So ein Mist

So everything is off between 10pm-8am?

way less powerful than the black box leds i use for my softies, testing out 2 of the 150w atm

Is posible to use HR even to test low nitrates levels ?

So after 6 months hows it going? Im building a 75 gallon reef tank, i considered 2 FX6's but your running 2 on a tank almost double mine.

I agree to the conclusions of this video for the most part. However there are exceptions. I have a newish 80 gallon tank with 2 ocellaris clowns and a small goby and a corisse wrasse. There are 2 powerheads in the tank mixing the water continuously before it can go down into the sump, and I have a UV steriliser connected to the sump that is rated for a much bigger tank. I change the UV bulb every 6 months when it’s rated for 10 months. I know there is still Ich in the tank, but surely the UV has kept it too such a low level that its not too much of a worry for such a small number of fish. I think its easier for the free swimming theronts to find the overflow outlet leading to the sump than to find the fish. And even in the ocean there are Ich theronts everywhere, just in such low quantities that it doesn’t affect the fish. I think anyone with such a small bio load of fish and an overkill UV with overkill water flow might be able to get away with the ich in their tank. Maybe?? Nothing is for certain. I run the UV 24/7 and also do a 25% water change every week. I certainly wouldn’t do this if I added just a couple more fish as that would increase the Ich food source markedly. Anyway tank is still newish, so maybe I will get hit by ich to wipe out the tank and to prove me wrong. I do plan to get a quarantine tank soon so I can do it the proper way with copper power.

I feel protein skimmers can take out good and bad nutrients... so I have never ran them on any of my tanks, and I use 2 cannister filters 405/6 fluval and 2 internal u3 filters on my current 180ltr tank

I enjoy my marine predator tank and community tank way more. Less maintenance and I like watching fish a lot more than corals. I have lost many coral over the years. I think It's a combination of having young kids and being too lazy to maintain a pristine reef. I still love all of the hobby and have a small reef with easy corals in it.

Oh man I wouldn’t be right in the head if I didn’t check on my tank and enjoy it when I am awake and home. One thing I learned after many years….I keep my tank where I am around it family around it etc… the joy for me is watching my fish and coral grow and it’s so beautiful watching it happen. I will never forget Anthony calfo. He said great tanks take a lot of finesse. That’s keeping eye on tank anytime possible and often getting to know the quirks and habits of that system. The hard work pays off when the tank tells us love that part also. Cheers great video 🤙🌊🍻

You're very discouraged clearly and understandbly so. A dog is not a pet. A dog is family and should not be compared to a fish. The reefing scene can be very frustrating as we are constantly trying to fix problems to get it to look pretty instead of actually enjoying the aquarium. The best solution for this I'd think is just to stick to a fowlr aquarium, minimum lights (4 hour max) and stop stressing out. There won't be algae or aiptasia or bubble etc.... I kept a fowlr for a long time with just 4 hours of minimum lighting and the water was always prestine with white sand and minimum stress and maintenance. Of course it's less colourful and more boring compared to a reef, but for a large aquarium like yours, you could keep many beautiful reef fishes! Don't give up!!!

Switching to Bolus has my tank on autopilot. My pH barely hits 8, my tank is full of SPS and alll are growing quickly,, now I spend 80% of tank time just appreciating the animals.

Came here to see if I should get a FX6 for my saltwater, left knowing we live in the same town 😂😂 definitely getting the fx6 tho😎

I put it in my room, I see it every day and night.

I sit in front of my aquarium all the time as int`s next to tv

I enjoy my reef every day! I got burned out on it for a while though. What I did was I revamped it, got new fish and coral, and watch rottertube reef! I’m all into it now. It is special and super bitchin that we got reefs in our homes, thousands of miles from the closest natural reef. It’s amazing.

Half the enjoyment for me is the journey and testing/ maintenance of my systems. Its therapeutic for me.

Idk bro I sit down in front of my tank every free minute I have it’s like my obsession. I love my tank and I love working on my tank and bettering it in any way I can 🎉

I sit in front of my aquarium every night before I go to bed. Even though it can be totally frustrating at times. It's just so satisfying troubleshooting and playing biologists at times to only reap the beautiful benefits that this hobby can and will bring if you just hang in there and remain patient.

I love to see my fish swim on straight line from my sofa while i am eating, watching tv or in the computer ,they are my pets.have my reef tank 4 years now😊

I sold my tank couple of years ago worst mistake i ever done but am looking to get another one soon i cannot wait, wish i never got rid 😢

Always man. I finally got a powder blue that's healthy and big.

I spend more time rectifying and maintain it than sitting there watching it sadly

I spend at least an hour with mine a day.. if your asking these kinda questions you probably don't have the patience for this hobby ..

I sit and watch my tanks a few hours a day really helps me to destress … great seeing the dogs .. i cant believe i have been watching your channel for 8 years now time has gone so fast i learned loads from you when i first started

I look at my tank every day, during and after maintenance. If your not enjoying your tank 🤷🏻‍♂️
