Awesome vid!!! This hobby tests the crap out of us at times. The challenges and coming out the other side is a reward few outside of the hobby understand. I often reminded myself, I bought the animals with the understanding they are under my care. They are now my responsibility and it's up to me to care. Lessons that translate outside of a glass box of saltwater.

@@aquaticbobs I have a tip that may help you. I use Brightwell revive on my sick coral and started dosing reds sea AB+ in my tank and my dying hammer and frogspawn did a complete turn around and regained a ton of flesh. I took a syringe and squirted 4ml of the revive daily to it. It has healed a lot. I don't think its will help SPS coral mainly LPS and soft coral recover. I realized I wasn't feeding enough so I dose AB+ daily and I am getting great growth on everything. The corals that were dying looked horrible and I am happy they came back.

great words there man, corals look insane! 🙌🙌

Great work on getting rid of the cyano bob! That stuff can definitely be destructive once it gets onto some of the lps corals especially chalice corals in my case from some past experiences. It seemed like as soon as the chalice just slightly receded exposing some skeleton the cyano just rapidly started killing off more and more tissue. Really sucks man I hope those jelly bean chalices you have make a quick recovery! I respect the outlook you have on reefing and just in life and how to deal with others properly. Hats off to you man the tank looks beautiful

@@aquaticbobs i do need advice though cause I’m struggling over here lol. But before I got the memo I was running SUPER LOW NUTRIENTS like UNDETECTABLE no3 & no4. I started my journey raising the nutrients not by over feeding or adding more fish but just by dosing NeoNitro and NeoPhos 5 days ago. Thus far I’ve got a reading of 5.6 No3 and 0.030 Po4. I understand that as I add them of coarse some algae will consume them like the little cyano that I had , has exploded !!! Now the sand bed has a slight red tint to it and I want to nip it in the but before it’s out of control WHILE I’m getting my nutrients up. WHAT SHOULD I DO ?

@@Dariusdoesreefing Yeah great question, everything will react slightly different. Before my cyano got better it got really bad 1st. I would say set a goal of what you want your nutrients to be and maintain that goal for 2-3 weeks at least before making any changes no matter what happens with the cyano. Worse case scenario try using chemiclean as a last resort but 1st give it some time to readjust. It's hard waiting I know that but it takes a while for the beneficial bacteria to re populate after having such low nutrients and most likely being starved out

@@aquaticbobs I agree about the chemiclean I’m using that as a last last resort but that’s one thing they don’t tell you right there…. That it will get worse before it gets better . But I’m glad you touched on Beneficial bacteria cause that was going to be my next research topic. Do you use any bottled bacteria to help fight on the battle field as everything plays out ?

Just sucked a ton of cyano out of my tank today. Nitrates were at 0.4! Phos 0.02. I'm more afraid of bottoming out on phosphates because I've had dinos a couple times when that happened. Not so much withe the nitrates.

Yeah those numbers are pretty low, every tank is different but generally speaking maybe it's time to bump them up a little bit with some extra feeding and less nutrient export?

bro I notice that a lot of drivers don't turn their blinkers wtf . yo great tank I gotta get my p04 in check thanks

how long did yo wait before adding coral into your tank? what where your first corals? how long until you were able to keep acros?

@aquaticbobs

I'm going to say this with a grain of salt because every tank is different, I added corals pretty much right away, my 1st corals were acans, zoas, and digitata. A week or so later I added a few others and within 2 months I probably had close to 100 corals. I was keeping acros a few months in but they weren't coloring up the best
