Ever wonder what is in your salt mix. Watch this video and see how it truly is! I have been filtering my salt mix for about 8 months now with filter floss/pillow stuffing. This method has reduced my replacements of sponges drastically! Before it was every 2-3 weeks and rinse it every 3 days before replacement. Now I replace the C4 sponge every 2-3 months and rinse every month in between replace...
Red Line Wrasse aka H. Biocellatus
Просмотров 9324 года назад
Here is my new Red Line Wrasse. He had quite the journey to make it to my tank, but now after a week. He has settled in quite nicely and is coming out earlier as the days go on. The first 30 hrs he stayed in the sand bed. This is very normal for wrasse that bury themselves in the sand. He is eating Hikari blood worms, mysis, and brine w/spirulina for frozens. He is also enjoying the pods that i...

I have never done a how to cycle a tank and how everything works for the nitrogen cycle video correctly. Sorry if you already know, but at least you can see the update on the Reef Nutrition Tigger Pod tank. Population is starting to thrive again and cycling process is on its way.

I decided to add a sponge filter. Let's see what happens in the next month! Hopefully there will be a big explosion with a healthier tank after it cycles🤞
Reef Nutrition Tigger Pods in a 13g tank
Просмотров 2814 года назад
I decided to start up another colony. This type of pod is great for Omega 3 for the fish when they eat them. Which will help with their slime coat. The tank is so simple to set up . Watch the salinity to make sure it does not get to high. No heater needed, because this type of pod is collected in the tide pools out in California where the temperature of the water can reach up to 100F no problem...

Vibrant Liquid Aquarium Cleaner after 3 1/2 months. Dosing 2x a week now.
Просмотров 2,8 тыс.4 года назад
I took into consideration that a viewer had mentioned about starting off with dosing 2x a week. It was recommended to give it a month. Then introduce dosing 2x a week. I have patience and went 3 months. So follow along on this little journey with the dosing every 4 days. This is my schedule for it. Let's see what happens. Thanks for watching!
Reef Chilli

Long story short. I was exhausted from giving someone a ride to the airport this morning. Slept 2 hours. So while I get some more sleep. Figured why not whip up a batch of chilli and have it cook while I get some more sleep. Only problem is. I lost my easy to make chilli recipe and I just wanted to document it. Sorry this has nothing to with my fish tanks for once. We all have to eat and if you...

I feel as though the bubble algae will not be an issue in a few more weeks. I am highly considering dosing 6.5ml every 4 days. Hopefully this bag of Phosguard brings down the phosphates in the tank and weakens the algaes chances of survival. I am still not trying to do anything to drastic to have a serious cyanobacteria outbreak, but I feel as though the Vibrant has not worked with the regular ...

For my tank I can honestly say this has been a 100% reef & fish safe product. It definitely has not been an overnight cure to the 4 algaes I was dealing with, but I will personally take the 2 that I have not seen come back. Possibly gone for the remainder of the tank's life. Thanks for watching 🙂
Vibrant Liquid Aquarium Cleaner after 1 month 2 weeks. 2 algaes down. 2 to go!

I feel that this product has definitely taken care of the turf algae that had taken over my tank. The bryopsis I will never trust to be gone, but it is for now. GHA has thinned out. Bubble algae is still going strong which is surprising, because that seemed to be the one algae that everyone had success with while using this product after 2 weeks to a month. Thanks for watching and I hope you ar...

Neo-Caridina shrimp 5g tank setup w/ important tips.
Sorry, but I believe you are reading the phosphorus line. You really have 0.25 phosphates.
Thanks, good tips!
For my tank it worked the first time the second time I had a cyano breakout it didn't work it eventually went away on its own but never hurt my corals, now I have a dino breakout and tried other things but it's not going away so will try this red lime remover once again if it doesn't work then I'll try anything else for another months if nothing changes that's it for me I guess.
It's been a while, but if my memory serves me right. Dinoflagellates usually only comes out with ultra low nutrient tanks. Same with cyano. Try to keep your nitrates at 5-10ppm after a water change. Bottoming out at 0ppm with get the cyano or dino juices going.
hey idiot dumb fuck.. sometimes equipments can broke its normal fucker
scary
When you say that it's lost the spots do you mean the spots in the dorsal? Thanks
mine eats pellets lol
and frozen to
Do you add cooepods? Do you have a good supply of them?
That looks to be a topaz puffer/ceyclon , but still brackish to full marine, they are really cool fish.
Definitely not a Topaz. Definitely a Figure 8 that lives in brackish 1.008-1.010. It is a euryhaline fish. It can go back forth between fresh to salt without having an issue with how they metabolize. They are 100% a brackish water fish.
Thanks for video. This has to be the best detailed description of how to let our Dragonets to thrive in our tanks.
So where the update video
Did you have to dose this weekly or just 1 dose?
@@40BKnasty Thanks for the info☺️ do you let your skimmer run still w/o the collection cup, just for aeration?
Do you still use this method? Also would you recommend doing this method and keep coral and Anemone?
@@40BKnasty Oh okay! That's awesome, I plan to look into doing this as well as to not have to purchase a rodi system, I have three fish right now but I wanted to add an anemone inside. So I think I'll be doing this in the future
@@40BKnasty Also how long does your zero water filter last when your running so much water through it?
@@40BKnasty Oh okay, makes sense 👍🏾
7:19 Evil laugh. Made me lol. Thank you for the video, great info.
Really smart idea how to siphon the water out. Thanks for sharing!
Do u still have him?
Gave up my 125g Reef some years ago du es to personal issues. Now dying to get back in the Hobbie but it will have to be a nano set up!🤑$issues. What's the smallest tank you think I can keep one of these guys in if I follow your regimen???
Why does the right tank look like the color of phyto? Left looks more like spuralina color?
Plants remove nitrates via growth
Dude, great success. 👍. Ever tried feeding just phyto? Gonna get some spirulina powder.
I gotta ask I’ve noticed all your videos in the past years you have been battling GHA bryopsis and cyano what are your nutrient export methods? Did you end up finally shutting it down and re starting?
You say the rock isn't doing anything or any filtration but I'm pretty sure it is lol its gonna be full of biological bacteria eating up ammonia keeping the tank water filtered
Is it possible to keep saltwater tigger pods in fresh water? Just curious.
Will he be fine in a 10gallon tank or do I need to upsize?
and water changes
Where u feeding phyto or spirulina powder. I failed with phyto. Never worked for me. I'm thinking of trying powder
@@40BKnasty thanks .. ordered BRS 99% spirulina.. how much would u guess. a teaspoon mixed in top off water every 4-5 days..especially on a fresh new small culture..
@@40BKnasty I'm going tisbe for my mandarin. Otherwise I wouldn't even do this lol. I might even do fresh brine every couple days too just in case and 3f print a feeder iffff I have too
@@40BKnasty well shiiiii. Tigger don't those free swim and not crawl like tisbe. I thought tigger free swimming wouldnt work. Hmmmm
@@40BKnasty well thanks for the info and help. I guess I'll start with tisbe and go from there. Atleast I'll flood my display. I guess it doesnt hurt
Hey is that a 65gal aqueon tank by chance? Ive been wanting that tank for years but heard they leak and or explode brand new. Good video thank you!
Had a tall tank and I am only 5’2”! I felt like I was snorkeling every time I had to reach in there! Never again! 😺
Thanks for the info pal I just started.
ur definitely why they look healthy ...
Quality information. You have given me some great food for thought.
Hey 40B, any updates on this tank. I"m having a series of failure trying to get a copepod culture going? But I've been just dabbling in smaller tanks like 2.5, feeding them phytofeast. Any experiements on a fool proof method of culturing them. Cuz I'm a big fan of your copepods videos.
Idk who told you can not have live plants but you can. Java fern grows in brackish waters along a few other plants. Thank you for tips. Never said how gallons the tank is and if ya did I did catch that.
How do you change water without losing some of them out?
Can you house both kinds together in one tank?
I bought 2 f8 4 months ago and still can't stop them glass surfing any idea how to stop them doing it
@@40BKnasty thanks mate 👍
What do you do with sump
I have a 36 gallon 136 liter bowfront tank which o w would work best in that? I don't want it to strong and I want to be able to keep the controller down to around half thanks
very cool i plan on adding a 1inch baby mandarin to my seahorse setup hopefully he helps with my "over feeding problem" (seahorses eat 2-3 times daily & only want live brine or tisbe pods) cheers
Please tell it is kill coralline algae
Hi! I know this video is a couple of years old, but I first wanted to say thankyou very much for giving such a clear explanation and showing it! I also wanted to ask, did it take him long to get used to this feeding station? Did you have to try different places in the aquarium?
How often do you feed your pods. Also how often do you change water?
@40b knasty dude you gotta update. i am currently here. only no bryopsis but TON of GHA. thinkingnof going reeflux or vibrant
@@40BKnasty did fluconazole do anything for u??
@@40BKnasty ok, as I said my tank is OVERRUN with GHA (derbesia) am def at go hard mode. was back and forth between vibrant and fuconozole (reeflux). sounds like your voting fluc without hesitation
Hi there, beautiful fish! :). I got mine a week ago, he is quite small yet, juvenile f8 puffer, he eats well, comes up to me when i get home from work, he's so lovely and all except one issue he has. sometimes he just won't stop swimming up and down against the wall at that one spot. I really wonder why, I've researched so much on the net and people usually say its a sign of stress, but he's alone in the 20 gallon brackish water tank, no tankmates, with plenty of rocks and driftwoods. I guess he's just admitting to his new environment? I'd really love to hear about your experience when you first got your puffy. Great video btw!
@@40BKnasty you should make a video on this !! I’m so intrigued into the snail tank process
@@40BKnasty oh wow saw Chris’s comment from 3 days ago thinking thsi video was recently posted but I was wrong lol
@@40BKnasty thank you so much for your comment bro, its helped me a lot, he's not really stress glass surfing anymore, the issue is that he wants to eat all the time! he is a pig lol
@@40BKnasty Hahaha lol especially when they are juveniles like mine, they have that cute smiley face my dad once asked 'whys he always smiling?'' got me laugh hard lol i'm glad puffy's doing fine, how big is he now? anyways.. i just subscribed to your channel as you deserve more subscribers. p.s. I'd love to hear how you do water changes for his tank! how often and how much etc. thank you again 40B. Much love from New Zealand :)
@@40BKnasty thank you so much for that boss. very helpful! thanks again :)
Do you have Chaeto or a refugium of some kind? And if so did the vibrant affect it at all?
Hi, I heard that you have to feed these guys frozen, snails, crayfish, and so much more. Is this costly? I have a saltwater so it’s easy to get mysis and brine, but I know buying lots snails can add up. Any recommendations on what to feed them on a budget?
@@40BKnasty ahhh. Okay, so you don’t have to supplement things with shells for their teeth every week or day. Thank you so much for the tips!! Puffy is super cute!
@@40BKnasty ph okay. That’s so cute! I love interactive cute fish, so I think this puffer is a good one for me. Thank you so much for the info!
Believe it or not I purchased a spotted Mandarine last month because my LSF told me they were good with flat worms🤔. Go figure. Either way I fell in love with her and did my research on diet and my heart sank when I realized they eat pods. So I didn't want her to die and I started buying bottles tisbe at first and then of tigger pods like a drug addict on crack so that she wouldn't die on me. In the meantime I tried feeding live brine with a target feeder and it worked 😅. Then I started to mix in frozen brine till she got used to eating frozen only. I have had her in the tank now 1 month and she looks great . Hasn't lost weight. I've also started to raise tigger pods in a 2 gallon tank and have had success. I'd like to raise more though.
@@40BKnasty thankyou will check it out.😊
Virginia, did it help with your flatworms?
@@super9187 Hi Sergio .Sadly I still have the flat worms. Mandi the Mandarin has no interest in them. It's been a tough battle with the worms and it got to the point my rocks had a carpet of flat worms covering them. I found a way to at least keep the population low without having to medicate my aquarium. I use thin wall tubing with a hose attached to it and at each waterchange I vaccume them out. It is a tideous job to say the least but it really helps reduce them. My rock's look so much better now.
@@4SunnyinMiami2 ah that’s disappointing to hear, Mandi only likes the good stuff then 😂 I’ve been trying to prepare my tank with copepods for a Mandarin and out of nowhere had an outbreak of flatworms. So was really hoping the Mandarin would sort it out!
@@super9187 Sorry to hear that. I have also read that a little blue fish called Springers Damsel is also a flat worm eating machine. 🤔 I'm not sure that I will ever rid the aquarium of them but at least keep them at bay with the thinwall tube. Best of luck to you.
Also Cory are Shoaling fish not Schooling :) its even cooler, it means they just "hang out" along the bottom. (Pygmys swim all around its normal) more conventoonal Corys stick to the bottom mostly. If you get 10 corys they like move around on the bottom like a living carpet its adorable! This is a great little tank, its not perfect but its a billion times better than bowls or cups etc 👌🏻
@@40BKnasty Yep Pygmy Corys will hang out mid/low and be quite active. Conventional bigger Corys will get some excercise at mid level, but 90% time chill on the bottom. Just be careful to do small water changes... temp changes will shock Corys. Where as if it drops 2-4 celcius with a Betta they are like "bruh thats childs play" 😅 Defs do a 25% water change twice a week when that cycle becomes a bit more evident. :) I look forward to seeing whatcha do!
Billion Betta every year just trapped in cups and dying every hour. Internet: HEY WESTERN DUDE WHO PUT 4 CORY AND A SMALL BETTA IN 5.5G... YOU MONSTER HOW COULD YOU!?!?! 😅😅😅
@@40BKnasty I got some Pygmys in 5.5G pro fluval... aquascaped but with swimming space in mind. They love it... got 4 in there with a female Betta. In fact whenever I put her in with the male (in a breeding box) so they can hang out/eventually know eachother to mate... She literally swims back to them and sits around near them. Never strikes at them... they are comforting friends to her :) Dont get me wrong, we are pushing it. But just keep the tank extra healthy and wont have issues. Ive seen Pygmy Corys in like 2 and 3 gallon heavily planted tanks at the Aquariums... Its got to be evident fish are not healthy and happy or haters can fk off ❤
@@40BKnasty My 5 inch Giant Thai Splenden is a bit murdery... but my lil 1 inch female rescue has a very kind lil soul 😅😅
