    I’d much rather watch you do maintenance than actually do maintenance myself😂😂.
    Keep em coming and miss the beef with you two.

    Very interesting to see the day to day of a pro aquarium maintenance person. These videos are mostly basic maintenance, but I wonder if you also tackle more complex issues like in tank antibiotic treatments for brown jelly outbreaks, treating sick fish, dealing with pests like eyphillia eating flatworms, red bugs and others?

      A lot of that I don’t deal with very often at all in client tanks. My clients are not the type of people who add things into their own tanks. I control all of that.

    Oh man. If Ben serviced my tanks I'd have to sterilize the entire kitchen when he was done😁

      @@CaptiveAquaticEcosystemsCAE spraying off the sock in the sink splashes bacteria all over the place. Not to mention touching the faucet handles with fish tank hands.

    I see you are using the same or similiar magnetic glass cleaners and skimmers on each of the systems. Care to share what they are?

    • @CaptiveAquaticEcosystemsCAE
      @CaptiveAquaticEcosystemsCAE 6 месяцев назад

      Magnetic cleaner: Tunze strong +
      The skimmers aren’t all the same but I do like Reef Octopus skimmers.
