*Hi everyone.* Sorry for my absence on social media the past few months, some things happened that shifted my attention away from making content. In June, my 68 year old grandmother was diagnosed with cancer after she went to the doctor for a numb hand. The cancer originated from one of her lungs and had already spread to the brain (4 tumors + a lot of fluids) and most likely to her lymph nodes and thyroid as well. It is treatable, to extend life.. but not curable. The doctors were quite slow with tests and scans and her condition got worse fast, likely due to the warm weather and the brain fluids putting pressure on her brain. Over the past 2 weeks she had her first round of chemo and 5 days of radiation therapy. She seems to be improving a lot, thank god! She’s strong and one hell of a fighter! This all hit hard, given how close I am with my grandmother as I’ve been visiting her (almost) daily my entire life. We are trying to do things with the family like going out for dinners and we recently went on this vacation, that really helps keep our spirits up! We hope to be able to do this for years to come WITH her! All of your prayers are welcome and I hope you understand my absence on here, I am trying to get back on track but now you know what is happening. ~ Danny

Haha thank you!! I try my best!

Very timely video, my tank did the same thing, it went from glam to glum in 4 days, all four sides were covered with algae, I could not even see in the tank and my PO4 is 0.07. So I have cleaned all 4 sides and install a new sock, getting ready for a water change. I like the idea of filter floss around the powerhead.

Filter floss around the power heads is great, gets rid of all the debris within hours. :D

Mixing can be made simple with a wave maker! Constant movement and you don’t have to work yourself out!

Well done and motivated me to do some maintenance 👍🏻😂

No. Phosphate / Nitrate bombs. 😉

Your fresh salt water doesnt have to be the exact temperature when doing A small WC. Corals n fish will be fine. Your display will Maybe see a degree in difference if that.

How often do you do water changes? I’d love to restart my tank using your method.

Yep, tank in the middle was made by ILA. The other two shallows I have are custom.

Fritz definitely likes sponsoring the more popular reefkeepers, though be careful if you use their salt, could cause some problems later on, i like to use red sea salt. Also the tanks is looking good, though didnt you have a nemenzophyllia in there before or am i thinking of someone else?
