I've been in the hobby for almost 6 years.. This has been a fun journey so far. There is so much to learn and experience in this hobby. The learning process is endless. I have tore down my 75 gallon reef tank and started a brand new 100 gallon rimless, with a brand new stand and sump. The system's color scheme is orange and grey to match my new Apex 2016, which is mounted in an Apex cabinet to the right of the aquarium. I'm also building a Nuvo Fusion 20 nano tank, right next to my 100 gallon system. My videos cover my step by step process. as well as, how to deal with most common types of aquarium related issues.

Saltwater Aquarium Wyze Camera Monitoring- Vacation Prepardness
ReeferGil
Thank you once again for tuning in. In this video, we will go over a very promising camera monitoring system to monitor your precious aquariums. I will be covering the Wyze Pan Cam camera, which I found to be very easy to setup via the Wyze phone app. Set up one camera or multiple cameras, and monitor them all on one app. This camera sells on Amazon for $40 and has a great deal of features and rivals much more expensive cameras. This 1080p full resolution picture is a great way to keep an eye on your aquarium. I will go over the unboxing of the Wyze Camera, Wyze Camera setup and much more. Hope you enjoy it.

Velvet Killed All My Fish!

About one years ago, my tank was coming along as planned. I was in the process of introducing the final phase of my fish into the DT, the Tang phase. After a one month QT, the Tangs went into the DT with the rest of the community fish. A short time later, I had signs of what I thought was fish ich. A few weeks later, all of my fish were dead. What I had was not Ich, but rather Marine Velvet. I ...

I regret purchasing the Neptune Auto Feeder. The design is flawed, especially when it comes to removing the container. The lid is the part you have to pull on to remove the container, which is a disaster waiting to happen. Every time I try to refill or clean it, the entire container tilts or jerks, inevitably spilling food everywhere-right into my tank! This poor design causes more mess and stress than convenience. It’s incredibly frustrating and completely defeats the purpose of an auto feeder. Save yourself the hassle and avoid this product.
Did the black plastic part around the UV light start braking apart or melt on urs? I bought the same one and it melted and killed majority of my fish as well turned the water black. I noticed it very late, i was confused to what was causing the water to go black despite trying everything
Buddy your story so suckS, IM SO SOR4Y FOR YOUR LOOS. MY HIPPO is liKE A DOG OR CAT, SO SORRY it was absolutely horrifying to watch the purple Tango
Links to buy the small stand camera plz
Thank you
I just did this, I’m not sure it was necessary but it worked out fine. I had my tank in storage for 10 years until I had a living situation that worked for me. After bleaching and drying there was 0 traces of chlorine.
I feel you :( Happened to me, also 2 clowns (also my pets) and many more fish...funny enaugh I also delayed getting blue tang out. Very simillar story.
I have a pair of clownfish that would not go anywhere near my nem .One day, I shot a load of brine shrimp into the nem. The one clown rushed for the food accidentally and touched he nem .Now the one clown doesn't leave it alone .
Watching this in 2024
What is the pink and yellow that hanging with the melanarus wrasse? Beautiful! Tank is so lively! My fish hide all the time in my 2o gallon!
Mine all died yesterday and today because of this
Hey Gil, still actual to this day!
I must admit that I simply am only a barely good enough freshwater aquarium breeder and plant farmer RN.
You have a affable tone delivery.
Well thank you.
Thank you! I very much enjoyed your presentation and information.
Exciting news! The inclusion of Rose number [262] beautifully symbolizes our collaborative efforts in this creative garden at CoinEra. Let's continue nurturing this shared space together! 🌹🌷🌼 Thank you for being an integral part of it! 😊💖
This is an old video, but has great info! I thought I had it with my first fish lol. It ended up being ich which I’m treating for now
Glad it was just ich, thanks for the comment n
Really sad for your loss, curious i noticed you dont have any corals in the tank. Could you not treat the main tank with medication ?
Nice video thx. Saw ur review on Amazon. How often are you changing the mud
I'm confused why corals in sand would cause issues if there's stray voltage
I am going through this right now. I have 2 tanks, 180 and 210. They both run from the same sump in the basement. My 210 is a replacement for a 265 that was leaking. When it started to leak, i moved all the fish i had (about 25) into a temporary 55 gallon tank. The 210 replacement was supposed to show up 2 days later. It did but the company sent a non reef tank by accident, so i sent it back. Took another week to get the correct reef tank. During that extra week, the fish in the 55 started dying. I took what was left and put it in the new 210. I turned on the system which connected it to the sump which also fed the 180. 2 weeks later and i lost almost all fish from both tanks. Its been very difficult to go through. And its not over yet, everh morning i wake up to more death. I tried copper in a seperate qt tank with my 13 inch naso and watched him take his last breath after 30 mins in there. I feel better knowing that i found this video and im not alone. I too wanted to give up, but i have strength now to hopefully regroup.
I’m new to this hobby letting my tank cycle right now but I was told you can’t hold an anemone is that for certain kinds?
Not while it's cycling.bis that what you were asking?
interested in the mud tray, is this still something that can be purchased?
Im sorry for your loss. i hate losing my little buddies, God bless, happy fishing!
Beautiful dog😢😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢
He is missed greatly.
Just vacuum the affected area. Then add your new cleaner crews, because it probably will comes back same place.
E - NeN - NEM - MEM - E
could you please recommend an excellent heater for this tank in 2024? Appreciate your video !!!!!
I feel like I have dinos but the cleanup crew seems to be ok.... does that rule out dinos?
Hello, are the cameras still working with apex fusion?
Seeing the clownfish die after 8 years like that i cant imagine how horrible it must felt. I just lost both my clowns and im sad and worried about my other fish......
It was super difficult man.
@@ReeferGil i bet it was man. I really got into this hobby because it helped me get by the pain i went through when i lost my bulldogs max and lady. Worse pain i ever went through. Max, hit by a car infront of me. Lady, got very very sick to the point where she could walk anymore. Killed me.
Sounds just like my experience. I was on my last fish to put thru QT and into my 300G fowlr. It carried velvet into my tank and killed all but 4 fish. I had to treat the DT. Remove all inverts, take them fallow for 70 days, and now im starting over. I don't know what I'll do if it happens again.
Sorry to hear. It's horrible and definitely bruised my love for the hobby.
🍊👍
I thought the anemone hosts the clown fish
3 days change is best
Indian Dan!!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Are you afraid of snow?
😵💫
I must say that yours is THE BEST video I've watched regarding the use of DWV. I will buy some, ready for my next clean up. It will (apparently) get rid of lime scale on the top of the tank and lighting tube. Just DON'T put the tube in it, just wipe over with a towelling rag and a bit of elbow grease. Job done.
❤
The host is the Anemone not the clown fish
Your big mistake was not to seperate the clownfish. What you could have done was set up and cycle a smaller tank, just life rock with or without their anemone.Move the clownfish pair into their own tank. Then you can add anything you want (except clownfish) in the main tank. After everything settled (a year after the last animal addition), and everything is fine. Slowly acclimate the clownfish back into the main tank, if there's any aggression use a container for fish breeding. Very noobish and impatient mistake.
So this plumbing setup has 3 individual drain lines?
Good video
Going thru the same situation right now and took the same mistake not getting them out quick enough. Video is a big encouragement and to know this hobby has alot of ups and down.
Looks great! 🔥
Hi is safetoplids still around? Was trying to compare them to Kraken.
