Don't mind this CZcams algorithm story 🙂
Sally went down to the seashore to collect seashells. Little did she know that the local fish store, Bulk Reef Supply was also there collecting them to bring to ReefaPalooza Orlando, New York, Chicago, and California to sell as merchandise. Sally couldn't compete with this so she decided to dive into the ocean to collect coral from the coral reefs to sell at the show as a vendor. Aquaculture was now becoming a pillar in the reefing hobby, because all reefers have noticed that Sally was slowly killing the ocean by collecting sea animals to sell without replacing them. Sally also watched this video on how to safely pack and travel with fish and coral to destinations on an airplane. SaltFishTV helped many more reefers in their journey of traveling with live aquatic animals on airplanes, so that they too can purchase that fire coral when they go to coral shows such as Reef-A-Palooza, Aquashella, or local frag swaps and bring it safely home to their reef tank to grow out to become a fire coral colony.
I have the 9w on my 38 gallon. Works really well! Look at that super clear water! 👌
They definitely do the job!
I have the new Fluval UVC In-Line Clarifier up and running on my 38 gallon fresh water aquarium my tank is clearing up
Nice!
Would you recommend just going ahead and adding the Biocube UV right from the beginning? And does it get ran at the same time as the cycling of the new tank?
I didn’t and don’t because you won’t always run into a bacterial bloom. I just set a tank up and I didn’t get the bloom I did like this one did. I only use it as needed and you never want to run a UV sterilizer while cycling as it’ll kill off most of your beneficial bacteria as you add it to the water column.
Hi
Many people say changing water makes the bacterial bloom worse.
This can happen as it replenishes minerals for the bacteria to thrive and consume on.
I am new to the hobby and have what could be a dumb question, are uv sterilizers for fresh water and saltwater tanks? or is there specific sterilizers made for salt and others for fresh?
There’s never a dumb question. All UV sterilizers can be used in any type of aquarium.
@@SaltFishTV thank you for the info, I appreciate it!!
@@andrewmccready6373 Absolutely! You’re welcome!
On one of your 32’s you have a special outlet nozzle, who makes it? Also you moved your wave maker from back wall to side wall?

They are both the same cube! I made a series for each set up if you wanted to watch. The death cube and then this one is a part of the reefing for beginners series, but both the same aquarium just started over. As for the placement of the wavemaker, it’s all about what’s in the system and how the rock structure is made and where there might be dead spots. For the Death Cube it was a solid piece of rock so the back was a prime location to have it hit the front glass and move around the structure and in this video the rock structure is way more open so the flow can make it all around the tank even placed on the sidewall. Overall it just depends how your tank is set up and flow is a factor to always play with when it comes to the corals and their needs as well. The RFG nozzle are made by vivid creative aquatics, but I 100% found that there’s way more flow without any nozzle hooked up to the outlet and it also allows for gentle surface agitation which is what you want in a reef tank for oxygen/gas exchange.
@@SaltFishTV super- thank you. You are head and shoulders above the rest of teachers.
You are an Educator!

@@ronsmith2817 I always try to share the knowledge that I have learned along the way, thank you.
Help my 20 gallon redsea was doing good and it started to have bad bactira bloom and turned green I did a 75% water change and it came back green what do I do!?!?!?
What’s the name of the Uber you’re using???
Green blooms indicate more of an algae bloom and cloudy white usually is bacteria, but I’m using the green machine UV sterilizer. Works well. Water changes only make it worse as it gives the algae or bacteria fresh nutrients and minerals to consume and populate more.
May i ask what is your mini wave maker? Thank you
Absolutely, it’s the AI Nero 3 - amzn.to/3zo1Qlw
I think I got a bacteria bloom because I kinda do feed my fish a lot but I feed them two times a day but I’m new to the hobby but I use tap water but I use a tap of seachem prime water clarifier every time I do a water change but I don’t want them to die so I would like to get some help
Is your aquarium fresh water or saltwater? Tap is ok for fresh but never for saltwater. To help with bacteria blooms you can stop feeding so much daily or do absolute tiny amounts just enough for the fish to eat. Also doing smaller water changes daily can help and lastly waiting it out or adding a UV sterilizer as shown in this video.
How long do you leave it in after water clears?
Totally up to you and if your tank needs more time. You can always wait a couple days and then turn it off and see if it stays clear or clouds back up, if so then just turn it back on.

Dude are you still reefing?
Yes! I’m just currently sitting tankless as we did a big move from Alaska to South Carolina, I’m shopping around for tanks at the moment as we get settled in!
@@SaltFishTV South Carolina is going have better LFS than Alaska lol
