United States
Registrace 1. 03. 2016
My passion for the hobby of Aquaria has been one for over twenty-five years and counting. I starting with freshwater aquariums then afterwards the introduction of the wet/dry filter systems and finally reef aquariums. The purpose of my channel " Eddie's Reef Aquaria" has been a vision I have had for a long period of time in which I want to inform and educate the fellow reefers of the trails and errors I've made so as to save time and money in this hobby whether as a beginner, intermediate, or advance one.

How Reef-keeping can be less expensive
I just got this tank, where do I put water in the back?
Hi @malloryorchard.5642, when you start to fill the main display tank you will notice the water will start to enter the back chamber as it reaches the level on the display. Eddie
Will, this stuff increases PH
Hi @84latinray, to be honest it will not as per my testing. Eddie
Just gotta get a few berghia nudibranchs. They would have a field day in here! Im actually looking for tips on how to make my aptasia tank grow more so i can feed my berghia! Its the only thing they eat.
How to get this gorgonious and. Whatis the price of this
Hi, first thanks for contacting me for info. These Gorgonians are found in most LFS, but I would get the ones that are photosynthetic, because when it comes to these you have to feed them a lot. When it comes to feeding this could raise your NO3 and PO4. Eddie
Howt earn this gorgonious
Hi I have 3 of these coming in and one already. I am worried that I wont be able to keep alive but coudlnt resist cheap bid I won them for! Anyway the problem is I dont think I have strong flow towards bottom of tank because wavemakers are on top and low flow on bottom. Looks like your tank is set the same. Most people set that way especially if they have sps H0w are you keeping them alive if they need a tank set like that?
Hi karennation3580, first I don't have them anymore, but when it comes to Gorgonians always get the photosynthetic ones. These which are non-photosynthetic are hard to keep and you must feed them a lot thus raising your NO3 and causing issues as a whole. Eddie
Eddie!, where are you? Are you still at it?
Hi williamlinegar695, I'm still reefing, simply I haven't done videos for quite some time. I have a leak on the Nuvo 40 so I decided to purchase a Red Sea Reefer G2 300. When I start I'll start shooting videos on the build. 👍 Eddie
@@EddiesReefAquaria brilliant! Looking forward to the new build!!
👍
Does esv 2 part have magnesium
Hi 84latinray, Unfortunately no you would need to buy it separately. Eddie
I am moving over zoas from my main tank to a new frag tank. They will be the first frags going in there! I am not sure how to handle it matching the lighting ect. I f it were shipped it would to acclimation but my frag tank has pretty much the same par everywhere because of the rack! I am in a big mess. I have to many corals coming in and not enough room in my tanks! I idint even consider that this is a new frag tank! I am only moving zoas though so hopefully it wont go as bad!
Hi KarenNation3580, when it comes to corals and acclimation the new data is to placed them where they are going to go no matter if PAR values are different. What I would do is; 1. Place them on the substrate for a period of time 2. if you have lights that have an acclimation mode use for say 30 days. COMING SOON: My 40 gal developed a leak on the bottom front panel so I decided to purchase a Red Sea Reefer G2 300 in which I will be back doing videos on the new build. Be looking out for the start 👍👍Eddie
What about having high nitrates around 45
How Big Is That Tank?
40 gallons
These are beautiful but boy can they take over a tank they break off pieces and spread like green hair algea lol😮
Hi mrsuarez430, Yep, they can take over a reef. I presently don't have it anymore and are planning to move into a bigger tank. I'll let all of you know in advance when this happens. 👍 Eddie
Mr Eddie I hope all is well. I just started reefing and I can't tell you how much your humble, kind, and approachable knowledge has taught me. With your expert advise, I feel like I can do this. Thanks Eddie
I appreciate that; if you need advise let me know either an email or other mains. Eddie
How long would you run it for ?
I run the UV 24/7. Eddie
I have just reef roids at the moment for my nps blueberry gorgonian. Would phytofeast or reef snow be a better next product to aim to get?
Hi rajgill7576, basically, I would say that all powered foods are good for gorgonians. I personally like reefroids. Eddie
Looks like you have better polyp activity and extension
It seems like that, but remember each reef tank behaves different to different conditions in your aquarium. Eddie
Do you still have the set up going?
Sure thing. I've just haven't shot videos for a while. Eddie
Can I add this to my Waterbox 25 peninsula aio tank..? Help
Yes, but you must check and look for a lower watt due to your tank is 25 gal vs mine which is 40 gal. Eddie
Thank You Eddie ✊🏾🙌🏾🪸🐚🐠
You are so welcome. Eddie
Thanks for the video
No problem! Eddie
great thank you
You are welcome!
Montipora is one coral I struggle growing. Ive only had some that survived once for a few months but eventually died also. I think the two main steps are water quality & lighting.
Your on the right track. Also, check your parameters. Eddie
good video, very informetive
Glad it was helpful! Eddie
Hi Eddie - Hope you and your tank are doing ok. Keep checking for new videos every so often
Thanks, will do!
is the reagent dangerous? Im nervous about doing the test
Hi jackfry3990, it's a reagent, but not aware of any, although, like any other test you should always be careful when using any type of test kits when handling them.
Hope you are doing well eddie havnt seen any new videos on a while
Hi my friend, I've taken some time off, but hopefully will resume videos. Thanks for reaching out. I'm cool and doing well. 👍
Thanks for this video help me very much merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you and family.
Love the use of scientific terms
That's Eddie!
What kind of protein skimmer do you have on the back of the tank?
Hi, It's the Ghost skimmer from innovative marine.
my gold lace gorgonian is shedding... I imagine this is its end... just a few days ago all the polyps were out... :(
Hi, check your parameters and in reference to the results either try changing it in the tank and possibly a water change. Eddie. Hope this helps!
I think I have this coral. It is not doing very well, but the green color looks healthy. I think it is being overgrown by either a pink sponge, or coraline, or both. Any tips
Hi, when you see this behavior the coral may not be happy in which what I would do is first check your water parameters and move it to a different position in your reef. Eddie. Hope this helped.
Did raising the temperature work?
Yes it did. Eddie
Thanks for the info!
Any time! Eddie
How mnay head does this guy have now? 7 years update.
I lost it, but now I have another one in which was two heads and now has four!
i dont have any fancy gear or refugium or anything and dont want to use nopox. I don t have an ato so my skimmer is hard to keep working. If I get one will skimming lower from 20? I am buying alot of reef gear now and renting a par meter. Whats a good cheap ato? I read water changes dosnt help much with nitrates
Hi Karen, If your tank is less than say 60 gallons you really don't need a skimmer and can get away with water changes. NO3 of 20 is fine but not higher! always remember every tank behaves different to different parameter's. I have the Tunze, but I really don't have a certain one to recommend for your needs. They all basically work the same. Eddie
Thank you sir. A no nonsense and informative video. My coral is identical to yours. I located it lower down in a medium flow. It seems to be doing well. I target feed reef roids once a week. I will subscribe and look at your other videos.
Good I was of help! Thanks for the SUB! Eddie
Are you sure NO3 Nitrate: 0.05 ppm - 0.07 ppm ??? That's almost the same as ZERO Nitrate 😢
Yes, Although low they are 0. Eddie
Are they good in a soft coral tank?
As long as you put them on the top with a lot of light.
Hey Eddie, hope all is well. Really enjoy your content. I just got my own nuvo 40. After watching a lot of your content , I feel better prepared for starting this thing.
Glad you like my videos! If I can be of further help let me know. Eddie
Thank you brother, I’ve watched a lot of videos about the monti cap but you taught like a true professor. 👍🏽
Glad it was helpful! Eddie
Hello Eddie. I just subscribed to your channel. I like watching your videos and appreciate your presentation on your subjects. I would like to know how much solution you dose into the tank and for how long? I apologize if you stated this in the video I may have just missed it. Thank you.
Thanks and welcome, when it comes to the Kalk solution what you have to do is check your pH accordingly and adjust the dose. I was going by the instructions on the Kalk for my tank, but you should do a slow drip. Eddie
Hi Mr. Eddie. Haven't seen any of your videos recently. Hopefully You're fine and doing well. waiting to see your next video
Don't worry, I'll continue doing them. Simply put I've had some issues and have put making videos on the back burner for a while, but will continue. Eddie
Is that a damsel in your tank or am I wrong
I do have a Blue/Green Chromis. Eddie
Great explanation. Thanks
You are welcome!
Thank you you've just answered my questions I've been searching all over the place for.
Glad to hear it!
We need more of your videos ...
Love your videos.
Thanks! Eddie
Thanks for the solid content. Been watching your videos for almost a year now. Always a great place to learn
Why thanks Victor. Eddie
Just read this coral was recently reclassified with some fancy Latin name that means placement unsure. So no longer considered faviidae.
Thanks for the hook up 🤙
Anytime! Eddie
