Просмотров 1,9 тыс.19 часов назад
Sorry I haven’t posted a video in awhile. My life has been crazy personally and in the reefing hobby. Some of my favorite fish died recently and I reflect on their losses and the losses of some of my favorite corals over the years.

Hygger Saltwater Aquarium Light HG-107 50W Unboxing, Par Testing, and Initial Review
Просмотров 5974 месяца назад
Hygger sent me an amazing LED light to review. I will be honest, I was not expecting much from the light as a 502w light isn't that powerful, but this little light packs a punch and has an amazing spread! They kept the light simple to reduce costs to the consumer. I think Hygger overdelivered on the product. Definitely worth a look. www.hygger-online.com/product/hygger-saltwater-aquarium-light/...

Vibrant Chronicles- Final Review-Why I Stopped Using it!
How long did that walt disney take to grow out like that? I would of loved to buy a frag off of you
Took me a little over 4 years to get that big
Let me guess. Zak? I could only imagine what he’s building. Guy is buying up the East coast!
Ask him to send a video of his tank. That would be awesome.
He’s still building it out. The corals will be in QT for 60 days. I may ask him for a video. I got a pic of it. I need to see if he is cool with me posting it.
Just ordered two of them. I see you can pair the two up but do they communicate with each other via bluetooth or some signal? Going into a 120 gallon OCEANIC Low Boy tank. 4 feet deep wide almost 2 deep.
I bet it stopped working by now huh?
Just get some chemo clean .. follow directions.. welcome
Check my videos on Chemiclean
That mandarin 100% had bacterial fin rot.
Probably. What do you think caused it?
Something seriously wrong, suggestive of bacterial infections, running a UV? Wondering also about tang aggression… fins looking really chewed up on your fish. Purple tang going postal?
I’m not running UV currently but it is definitely a thought. I’ve been watching the fish and I don’t see any aggression. But that doesn’t mean that they don’t get aggressive around night time
Hey men, tough time for you guys. But just wanted to say that your reef is one of my favourites. Love how natural it looks. Looking forward to seeing your future plans. Keep the videos coming!
Thank you! I appreciate the positive words.
Geeze man, im sorry for what your going through. I hate when ppl say its just a fish, its a family member to me. I hope things get better bud
Thank you. I will keep you guys posted.
Aqua Biomics if you truely want to know.
I have done tests before. Check out my other videos. Everything seems fine.
@was the video from 9 months ago? If so that is a long time especially if you have been adding things like corals and inverts without qt.
@@CrakencoralsI haven’t added any fish since then and only added one blasto coral from Danny Deez corals in the last 9 months after dipping it and inspecting it.
Sorry about your fish losses. My Flame also passed around 8 years from what I think was natural causes. Spend as much time as you can with Benji. Having just lost a dog a couple of years ago, that is going to be tough. Wishing you and your family a merry Christmas.
Thank you for the warm wishes. I’m sorry about your pets. We all go through it. But that doesn’t make it any less difficult. Merry Christmas!
Have you had any Zoes die? Maybe their toxicity is in the water. Because, those fish are around them constantly.
No zoas have died. I’m running carbon too so I’m not sure. I may switch out the carbon and see if that helps
I suggest you rebuild the tank clean the sand check the fish for parasites and set up corntin area
I did an aquabiomics test. Check out the videos of before and after bacteria dosing. And check out the EDNA test
definitely looks bacterial.
I have a smaller tank and my jallbrakers are going bananas I will definitely try this . Only been reefing 2-3 years
Beautiful tank. Sorry about the recent downturn.
at least two of them fishes eat from the sandbed, and ur sandbed is full of cyano. I think the toxin from the cyano is your main problem here. Torn fins isnt always aggression
Man what tough and sad couple of days for you. Hope it turns around for you and yours, hoping 2025 brings health and blessings. Reef on.
I have a large 800 gallon Fowler tank and ran into this same problem had to treat the aquarium for the bacterial infection. I also cherish my expensive two foot large fish so hard to see man hope everything gets better god bless!
It looks to be a bacteria infection as the fins are getting beat up like that
Do an ICP
is everyone else eating? I would try running carbon. Sometimes if a zoa gets supper pissed it can throw palitoxin into the water can kill some fish.
Sorry for your losses, god bless you
Thank you. Trying to get it real and letting people know the ups and the downs of reefing
This is so depressing 😢 At least our human babies are okay!!
Lost a Blue Throat trigger last week randomly I think from a bacterial infection. Hopefully things get better from here. The wrasse may have had internal parasites/worms looking at its stomach.
It might be a bacterial infection or a random parasite. I’ll never know. I did an aquabiomics EDNA test and it didn’t look like anything bad was in the tank. It’s hard to lose your fish. I’m sorry about your trigger.
Nice, thanks. FYI. It’s pronounced KEE-to, like the diet. KEE-to-MOR-pha. In taxonomy (and probably everywhere else too) “ae” is an “ee” sound. Same in “algae”: AL-gee.
I just lost over 20 fish I think my tank had velvet all mines act the same way sorry to hear that bud
Thanks man. I’m sorry for your loss. People don’t understand that in our hobby they aren’t fish. They are our pets with unique personalities that we grow attached to.
Hi, would you recommend the 150 or 180 size model for a 130 gal tank ?
Go bigger if you can. You can always turn it down. But the 150 would be fine
My experience: Have 2 small Hygger wave makers; 4years old and 3 years old. The basic Controller options are where they fall short compared to the higher end stuff that I lm using. They have more than adequate control options, nonetheless. Another issue is they don’t offer very many larger tank device options. Hopefully, they will one day. Regardless, mine were worth every absolute penny I spent on them. If one of my Hygger flow mules breaks down I won’t think twice to replace it with a newer Hygger model. After watching this, without hesitation it will be a part of my newest 60g build. Should be perfect for my needs. Thank you for the great content!
Glad I could help! It's nice to see Hygger expand their offerings to larger tanks, they've really been nailing it with their smaller pumps.
I just saw this video after having my mandarin for about 60 days he’s losing weight I normally dump some pods every two weeks but it’s getting pricey . What kind of acclimation box do you have ? I’m interested in one with magnets to hopefully place in my display tank and try some blood worms.
Mine was a DIY acclimation box that I made. You can search for it on my channel
Bro where did you buy show a link
Nice I use some of their light for freshwater. Only have 1” Durso on 180, have Sicce Syncra 3.0, Sicce 3.0 SDC retuning through AC, and Neptune Cor 20 at 30%. The 270 ordered with 3 1” trains so hopefully can close loop the UV and and turn up the Cor 20.
Struggling with exactly the same right now, our dory is just like yours, same size, we’ve known her for 10 years. Shes currently laying on the sand and floating upside down after acting just like yours in your videos, feel so sad, they do become pets. The situation is exactly the same down to the floating, rubbing, getting stuck on heads, brown markings around face, redness under mouth and on tail, stomach sucked in etc. feel so hopeless. Thanks for videos
She just passed 5 mins after writing this 😔
I’m sorry for your loss. It’s really tough. All fish eventually pass but it’s hard when it’s your favorite fish. I still don’t feel the same about my tank after Dory passed. I even got a new dory, but it will never replace her.
Have a 180 for a 2-3 years with curve 7, got the Elite INT 200, managed to shove into the sump Trigger Triton 44 V2, ordered a custom 270 gallon yesterday 96x27x24 I think about as big a tank I can fit to replace the 180. Running ozone so to me having the ozone intake on the Elite was the deciding factor.
I do wonder about long term reliability and power use-35 watts is quite high. How does that compare to your varios pump at the same flow rate? How’s the noise and vibration?
Varios goes up to 98 watts. It was drawing roughly 42 watts at step 3. I have silicone tubing on the pumps so it is definitely quiet for both pumps. Obviously the $450 pump is better. But this budget option is great. The prices in the hobby have gotten out of control and I appreciate companies trying to deliver entry level products to help newer reefers.
Ich habe die Aminosäurelösung im Laden gekauft und verwendet, aber diese Lösung hat keinen Geruch und ist klar, weil ich andere Aminosäurelösungen verwendet habe, hat sie einen Geruch und eine Farbe.😊
Very inspiring! Now you have me thinking what i can do as well. Time to brainstorm. 💯👏👌🙌🔥
Hook up with a maintenance company and see if they have any clients to donate to.
SLAB( sealed lead acid battery) can't be recycled only destroyed...sadly
I didn’t know that?!? Dang
Godbless you and your family thanks for supporting the troops.
Thank you! It always feels good to give back to the community and help some veterans out! ❤️

I Maybe missed this in a previous video but what are you dosing to get such great growth?
I’m doing BRS bulk 2 part with tropic Marin a and k trace. Also doing kalkwasser. After this I took kalkwasser offline and it almost perfectly evened out my levels.
I think it’s awesome that you donated to the veterans home. Now they get to watch them grow and fill out. 👍
I love it. Sharing in the hobby and having a positive impact on others is the best part about it! I love supporting our veterans. ❤️
Just popped one in my 75 gallon. I actually wasn't going to buy it on the blue colour alone. But I went on Amazon and they had grey/black. I bought a Fluval 8 months ago. Died. Total junk. So I dug around and thought I'd give it a try. I've been doing freshwater aquariums for over 30+ years. I know what I like and want. Seems like a solid purchase It has so many settings and that can be intimidating. We'll see how it goes.
Good luck! I’m a set it and forget it kinda guy. I just do random mode and increase the intensity based on how the corals react (or how dirty my pump gets 😆)
I personally use Min S and their reef biotic bacteria. And i have been really happy with Min S. Its very concentrated. Corals love it. Even small size bottle goes a long way.
Fauna Marin is onto something with Min S. It’s soo easy to use and adds particulate to the water that corals need. It really is a great product!
Dope vid man! I’m tryin this tomorrow!
Thanks!
What kind of hannah phosphate tester are you using? Theyre multiple and im confused on which one to get.
I use the ultra low range
Dont use lanthium use gfo
Lanthanum takes out less trace elements than GFO. GFO strips way more traces than I wanna mess with. I keep it as a back up if something bad happens
2:04 made me think I was paranoid
When you bought the 200 did you buy the "base" tank and stand, or the "complete" versions they have on their site? Curious if the plumbing comes the same for both versions.
They didn’t have the sump options back in the day when I bought my tank.
That is one reason why i disliked using filter floss. I had completely moved away from filter socks so i would find this issue much more often to the point I went back filter socks. But now finally installed my reef mats! 🔥🙌👌👏💯
Man I need a reef mat bad to make my life easier. I just don’t want to mess with redoing my sump and messing up my plumbing
Gonna try to train one with both live and freeze dried copepods and rodifers.
