I’m going to have to look into that, I saw it could be from being to close to the dosing lines but I’m worried about how far it sticks into the tank. Still haven’t opened it yet but my wife was very excited to buy me that one so I guess I’ll see for myself

@ yeah see how you like it there’s always some bad apples with any product hope yours is good

Thank you!

A bunch of sand snails! My issues are getting better now I had some phosphate swings which caused a huge Dino outbreak. I also didn’t siphon my sand bed for a long time, then did too well and caused a huge swing lol I should vacuum it tho

Thank you! I do agree I made a mistake going for gold right away, everything I add I do plan on waiting about a week inbetween to avoid too much change too fast. I do plan on doing a heavy cleaning as well, I think I overdosed GFO which caused some swings but we’re back on the road! Great is on the way!

And that’s all that matters! The price build up over time is crazy, but Atleast we get to stare at it all day!

Hmmm I should!

Thank you! and that would be awesome! I’m definitely going to start moving in that direction and would love trying something like that

Thank you!

Nice, iv never done too well with sps but I really enjoy this frag

Thanks, I’m worried but I have hope

Thank you! You have an awesome tank!

@ thanks

It’s almost all gone thanks to him! He even took on a an appetite for Dino’s

I usually mix my own salt using Fritz salt with RODI, but lately iv been lazy and buying premade, the tank is looking much better now!

@@505Aquatics I would switch back to making your own RODI water, and self mixing. Just to eliminate any potential for unwanted contaminates getting in your tank.

Perfection is on the way!

Thanks! It’s coming along nicely and all the algae is fading away, a lot of nice stuff being added soon!

A nicer power head would be nice! Iv had GFO running for about 3 months now, I guess I need to start going after my light! (Alr down to 6 hr light periods)

Might have to look into it!

Currently on day 6 of my Fluconazole treatment for bryopsis and hair algae. I can already see patches melting

I do regular water changes and didn’t have a Dino problem until I started using GFO, I currently believe my tank is going through the same thing and am just hoping it goes away on its own like the first time

Always!

Interesting about the Dino’s, Big things coming soon!

Thank you! Really thank you I never really thought about it like that. Big things coming soon!

Perry, maybe you could learn a thing or two. For one, there’s no such thing as a “saltwater filter”. They make filters with protein skimmers, but most people who run saltwater don’t use those. A regular old HOB filter works just fine for saltwater.

Late response but I actually got a test done and my phosphates were at .09, I have been running GFO and it helps but I haven’t found my “cure” yet

I think I could get away with a 55! I’m hoping for just above that so I could also add in a few fish my tank couldn’t hold now (like a dragonette) and some coral that get too big (like pectinia!)

@ alright nice

A coralife seascape, the one from petco. Grows coral great but also grows algae even better

Yurp

Thanks about the coral! I think as a juvenile it would be fine for a few years, I wouldn’t know for sure but I would do it only if I had plans for upgrading. Iv never had a hippo tang but I would shoot for just above that 55 mark! I plan on upgrading to either a 65 or a 75 in the future, maybe bigger!

@ same but I haven’t even got my tank yet 💀 but Black Friday I will get it soon

Southwest reef! They are both great, I just find more selection and hospitality there

@ I agree, licious is also good, but Rob has been very helpful and I’ve had good luck with everything I’ve bought there

Might have to look for one! Definitely want another 1 or 2, thank you! The hair algae is still winning the battle but we’ll get there

I have been using gfo, I don’t think iv been replacing it often enough tho. Burque strong!

Ich! Got it when I added the tang, then it killed everything but the tang

They can but tend to work on larger fish in the wild, and my shrimp (boxer shrimp) is a bully. I still love him though

Won't work in a reef aquarium like it would in the wild, the problem is the aquarium is a closed off ecosystem and in the wild fish will usually swim away from the place they got the ick and the ick parasites will drop off hence will probably not re-infect the same fish twice, however in a reef tank this isn't the case. They just keep multiplying.

Iv thought about it! I do like my coraline algae tho

@@505Aquaticswell that’s good maybe you should get a sand sifting goby next there a good cleaning crew for sand

Thank you! Hopefully they start to split again soon!

On your last video I hade more questions

Every day, I get away with once a day but in a perfect world twice a day

@@505Aquaticsnice I think I buy a 55 gallon long tank at Petco because the bio cube tanks suck apparently and I may get a Tomini tang so he can live there for his life

I am! I recently did a water test and my parameters were great, I bought blackout curtains and stopped feeding nori In attempt, so far the algae has stopped growing further

I think I was feeding way too much nori, once daily and the tang would only eat a 1/4 of the piece I put in there. Hopefully thinks keep on clearing up in the tank now

@@505Aquaticsjust buy 30 hermit crabs

Yeap, that's the problem, nori contains way too much phosphate. I usually try to avoid feeding nori in tanks with weak filtration @@505Aquatics

It’s a 29 gallon from petco! I chose this size because a weekly 5 gallon bucket water chance is about 15%, any larger and you might have to start messing with two buckets. That also means 2 buckets of saltwater going back in too! I would start anywhere between the 20g to the 40g range, and smaller and top off swings will be too much, any larger you start to largely rely on testing and correcting parameters. Whatever you pick you got this! Don’t give up through the ugly phases and learn from your mistakes!

@@505Aquaticsalso will you move your tang because they do grow big but I bet you know am just a really smart beginner. sense am getting a 32 gallon bio cube tank I may get a baby powder tang or baby yellow tang or baby hippo tang. then give it back to the pet store when it grows fully

@@505Aquaticsalso if I get the 32 gallon bio cube will I have to top off 5 gallons off fresh water or do a little like 2 gallons so the salinity stays at 1.025

@@505Aquaticswith the tangs I was going to get I will Probly give the tang back when the tang is 5 inches or 6 inches but Probly when it’s 5 inches

In a year or two when the corals grow out I’m hoping to have a larger tank! If your looking for a baby tang the powders and hippos may grow too fast, something along the yellow tang would give you less issues

Thank you! Its comment like this that make me keep uploading and putting effort into my tank! It’s definitely a lot of work and money but you should! It’s only going to get easier as things get better

Ooh some Mollie might work!

29 gallon from petco

I believe $75

I definitely need a new light, the one I have has to be turned down manually everyday, I’m not sure which light to get, the AI prime was the plan but I don’t want to buy two since I’m not running a cube
