    THANK YOU for talking about supporting your LFS. My local coral store closed up Dec 31 simply because the rent/insurance was way high in the small strip mall he was in. He is in process to re-open at an industrial location where it’s less cost to run. It’s only been a month and I already miss the people I would see regularly when I went.

    Coming to you from Australia, only recently found this channel right before you did your tank build series & I really really love your livestreams (not that I actually get to join live due to time difference) I think it’s not just the knowledge your putting out there for me to learn but the way you deliver it is real & relatable, no gimmicks or corny theme music, you speak well & you have a way of explaining things that not off putting if I already know what it means & is in plain layman’s terms if I don’t already know what it means. So I thank you for your content! 😊

    I add a few stainless ball bearings to my f aptasia bottles - mixes nice and quick, the beads aren’t heavy enough to mix and the stick wastes too much product

    Pick up some pods and phyto from algae barn. It wipes out the Dino’s within a week. Absolutely best Strat to rid of Dino’s. Fought them for over 2 years and that’s the only thing that’s helped.

      That’s from Nori Vossen, she often has a booth at events like Aquashella. You should be able to find her on Facebook.

    I've never liked cleaning the front edge of the sandbed against the glass. If it doesn't look gross I think it looks cool seeing the biolife in the sandbed. Seeing micro worms or bubbles from the bacteria.

      Yes. It’s the wrong type for a reef tank, but works in a fish-only.

    I will never understand people using strange materials under rocks against pressure points. Just use a saw and cut a flat side to a piece of rock and use that as base.

    Good tidbits of information definitely stuff to take home, but I don’t get why all these CZcams pendants are saying the economy bad.🤷‍♂️ Economy in the United States is better than anything in the world right now inflations down employment is up average sailors salaries in the middle range are up. Simply saying the economy is bad is not true.
    There are shifts in markets due to changes in the way people make their purchases, and yes, food is increased, and dining out is higher, but those needed to be shifted anyway, those were kept at unsustainable low levels for those industries.
