cant tell where it ends and where it stops. dont make sense
Its impossible to keep sea life in a tank for very long. Too many things are missing to sustain sea life contained.
Limpet snails don’t knock my frags over like my turbos. Just takes more of them.
Oh very Nice, very cool , yeah sometimes the clean up crew goes wherever they want lol.
I got snails. They reproduce in hundreds so fast. Caught me off guard and had thousands of them in my tank, not even joking 😂 (edit: miss type)
Snails are great. My favorites are zebra turbos 😁
Where can I find the files?
My bubble coral is not with bubbles anymore, I don't know why
How am I supposed to leave it for six hours when trying to fill up my 75 gallon? I’d either need 1 million buckets or take 1 million days.😂
I’ve a sand sifting goby in my tank for almost 4 weeks and it never come out during feeding time . I am lucky that I’ve a small tank to spot feed the fish on an opening on the rock it hides . Definitely a pain in the ass , very skiddish fish
Try Fluconazole for your green hair algae issue. I usually double the dosage and it wipes it out in 2 weeks.
Try normal dose first though.
Hydrogen peroxide.
Keep up the vids
Thank you so much for the support.
Why do you think the GHA is growing? I have the same problem..
One reason was My skimmer and filtration wasn't working properly for a few weeks and I was away a couple weeks during that time so things began to build up.
@@Simple_Reef too many nutrients. If your N03 is high, odds are that they’re higher than tested. Problem is, GHA is uptaking most of the nutrients if your test results are within spec. On R2R is a thread called Donovan’s nutrient destroyer or something like that. It basically a measured tube for volume of water which is filled with media which houses a certain bacteria that “eats” N03. Kinda like carbon dosing does. Works really well. Kept my N03 in the single digits and I did no water changes.
@@TheCoralReefTalk ..ok! Thank you!
@@rcwrecker78 ..ok! Thank you!👍
Mine keeps all the darn algae away lol
That's awesome! It's such a funny fish to watch.
I always dripped, but WWC knows more about corals than I ever will so I'm going to follow their advice.
Mexican turbo snails are beasts at eating GHA. Blennys don’t really go for the tall stuff but are fun to watch picking at the rocks.
Yeah I need to get more Mexican turbos
For some reason mine just like to leave trails on my glass lol, I have to basically manually clean all the gha. I might have to resort to this guy, but I only have a 20 cube I could put him in atm
Hello, Why did you get rid of the HMX pro fixtures?
Hello, Do you still have these lights on your reef? Wondering if you could do an update on growth etc. I just purchased the XC 120 for my IM 20 AIO mixed reef mostly LPS. Thanks
what is the zoom X of the microscope you use ?
I can't really find fish for nano tho.. It seems like to have a good fish u need a big giant aquarium..
Good for you! Congrats!!
Thank you so much! Let me know what you think if you grab a copy!
Hey there are you having issues with the app this is not letting me save any settings at all.
i have a hydor koralia 240gph and its too much for my 5.5gallon pininsula. im having trouble finding something that will provide the right amount of flow. This one is 530gph so obviously too much still. Would i be better off just getting a powerhead/pump that pushes something like 100/150 gph?
I have a 160 gallon, 10 month old reef tank. I have green hair algae issue, mild to moderate. I have lawnmower blenny, foxface, blue spot rabbit, blue hippo, sailfin tang, and chocolate tang. I feed nori every day to keep them healthy, and they are super happy and healthy. I was considering stopping or reducing the nori to see if I can get these fish to eat the hair algae but have been worried I'd get them stressed or sick. I had an Ich outbreak about 8 months ago. Any experience with getting this herbivore gang to start to attack the hair algae?
Nice, Those are some great fish! I would recommend picking out as much of the long stringy strands as you can as close to the rock work as you can. They will be more likely to go after the shorter areas of hair algae. I wouldn't reduce the feeding. How have things been since the ich outbreak?
@@TheCoralReefTalk Thanks for the advice. I have been doing as much manual removal as possible and my chocolate tang and sailfin seem to do okay with picking at the short stuff. As far as the ich is concerned, I have taken the path of ich management rather than eradication as I prefer to reduce stressors as much as possible. My first outbreak was when I impulsively added a powder blue as one of my first fish (not quarantined) when the tank was about a month old. It probably had velvet and died. I waited a couple of months and then added a 13w UV sterilizer (small but easy to put in sump) and put got the blue hippo and foxface. They ended up with lots of white spots but I used metroplex, lots of nori, vitamins, and polylab Medic/hydrogen peroxide. After about a month the ich cleared up and then I added the sailfin, chocolate tang, and blue spot rabbitfish. Also a watanbei angel was added. All of the fish other than the powder blue are doing great. I do not have any real evidence of ich at all. I am just keeping them fat and happy. My LFS uses copper in their tanks but they don't quarantine.
I can't justify buying from wwc... they're so overpriced.
I was very selective during the live sale and picked up many of these at a lower price for sure.
How do you use this on tanks with a screen over them? Great idea but I don't want to risk my fish jumping for an auto feeder.
That is true, they make plastic feeding covers that can attach to mesh tank lids. Here is an affiliate link to the feeding portal amzn.to/3WYpod4 (paid link) Something like that as long as it's the right size will work, or a custom measured lid.
I should post a video of my orders 😅 that’s nothin
@@brennonlloyd1900 definitely, that would be cool to share. Go for it. What type of corals are you collecting?
GOOD VIDEO
@@eldridgehenry2 Thanks so much, and thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it. Do you have a favorite coral?
@@TheCoralReefTalk I LOVE ACANS
@@eldridgehenry2 Acans are really cool and they come in many different colors. I like blastos as well.
Did all the frags come with hair algae?
@@mckinleytam no the frags were clean! That's just a gift from my reef tank, Check out the previous videos I have some gha in the tank.
In using an 1/2 in bottom
Once again real nice build..I built my first stand also but as I look over it I see some minor mistakes.I want to put a bottom shelf in for tank equipment but I put some bottom braces in already so now I'm going to follow your technique where you put the precut piece underneath the stand to trace out then use my jigsaw and cut out.I would just have to unscrew like two braces so I can get am accurate cut out.

It states that it's not suitable for invertebrates, but would this be suitable for scaleless fish? I would like to add to my pygmy corydora group
Thanks for the question. Unfortunately, Safety Stop is not for scale-less fish.
@@TheCoralReefTalk thank you :)
Are they poisonous?
No they are not
Do you still use this salt? I’ve heard they have been having issues recently, with high grace elements and peoples tanks crashing.
Yes I am using Reef Crystals, I have been ordering the buckets. Everything has been fine. Is there an article somewhere with more information about this? Thank you for reaching out to me.
@@TheCoralReefTalk no not that I could find. I’m new to the hobby, kinda a new I had saltwater years ago but things have really changed. I started with IO Reef then got a new bucket and my parameter’s just went crazy, a FB page I follow for rookies said it was my salt because many people has been having problems. So I switched to Nano-Marine, I have a full bucket of Reef Crystals and would really like to switch back.
Found my channel thankyou im a broke bish 😂
You're welcome, thanks so much for watching and subscribing. Happy to help.
Thats cute
Thank you
do a tutorial on how to program it on Apex Fusion.
I’m having an extremely hard time setting it up to random and max frequency. Can you make a video showing how to do that? I have even emailed the company.
Gotcha yeah with Hygger the random setting also randomises the other settings so the frequency is random as well, I can work on video about that.
@@TheCoralReefTalk I would love that. I also can’t decide if I want it on random or constant flow think it would be best if they showed more of a composition of numbers in the manual.
If you have added live sand and the tank is cloudy is that dangerous for the fish or more of an inconvenience?
More of an inconvenience. It won't hurt anything and should clear up.
all i heard was a lot of yapping
Checked through uploads never did update us on its progress
Thank you for letting me know, I will definitely have to put together a new series.
@@TheCoralReefTalk that would be so cool, it's always interesting for us to see the progress updates 😀
Old post but what vendor had? He had others behind it. He’s got a good supplier for tomgue.
Trash panda corals was the vendor.
File fish to me is to be "rented". After having my tank being inundated with aptasia, I want to my Lfs to see if I can get a filefish for temporary duty . I could, I did, and they did the job. I gave it back after they went after corals.
Thanks for stopping by! Glad they’re doing good work
Absolutely! Thank you, they are doing great! The Zebra snails are cleaning up.
Why don’t these guys do well in the tank? They’re just a throwaway live food which is cool but it’s a shame they don’t seed
Great review! On the hunt for new wavemakers. On the fence for either a Mp40/ Nero7s - will look into the Hygger. Thanks!
Today my sea urchin decided to move my unglued candy cane and throw it down on the sand lol 😂
I have a question what’s the purpose of dusk Dawn day and I can’t remember what the other setting is?
Thanks for the question. The dawn, daylight and others are the Time ranges so that you can program different modes throughout the day. So if you wanted a constant flow in the morning and then more of a pulse during the day you can do that.
@@TheCoralReefTalk ahhh ok. Thank you. I just got this wave maker and I’m gonna set it up now. Thank you
@@jamesbroderick3660 Awesome. You're welcome! Enjoy it.
I found one in my tank, but I've only seen it once. It's about this size.
