ORPHEK AQUARIUM REEF LENSES - UNBOX, TEST, REVIEW
Hey everyone, I've recently brought the Orphek Reef Lenses and i thought i would show you the unboxing, testing and my thoughts.
These lenses are for reefers that use a smartphone or tablet to take photos or record videos, So if you have corals?, if your a reefer?, If you like taking pics and recording videos of your coral reef? And if your looking to buy some reef lenses but not sure what ones to go for? i was in the same boat as you and decided on Orphek. maybe this video can help you make a decision?

      Their tentacles are sticky so a fish could get caught if it's not careful but it's very rare.

    Not sure if you answered this or not, but if you have algae with the pods in the culture would you still need to do water changes? Or at least a lot less often?

  • @Keys3

    Hi! I’m aware that most (if not all) anemones can eat fish, so besides clownfish…what other fish can you have in a tank with them? Will those fish just naturally know and avoid the anemone? How does that work?

    • @TheSaltyLife
      @TheSaltyLife Рік тому

      You can have most fish with anemones they soon realise they can't go near it when they accidently brush into it and it stings them. The only fish that are a big no no. Are fish like coral gobies, dragonets and other slow swimming fish that like to settle on things. Saying that I had a bi colour blenny and he never went near. But yeah avoid coral gobies and dragonets and research compatability of every fish you buy 😊

    Hello, I just got my first bubble tip today. It’s been in the tank for a few hours now and after being retracted for a bit, it is now fully puffed out and accepted some food a bit ago. How long after you introduced your nem did it decide to move?

    • @TheSaltyLife
      @TheSaltyLife 2 роки тому

      Hey 👋🏼 congrats on the new bubble tip! So when I had bubble tips I found it stayed put for about a month and then after that it started going for evening jogs around the rock 😄 once it started moving it didn't stop..it kept moving.. then It eventually started becoming a nuisance touching all my corals and when it started splitting and I had multiple anemones on the move.. I removed off of the rockwork and gave them to my LFS. 😊

    • @TheSaltyLife
      @TheSaltyLife 2 роки тому

      If you could keep the culture going with regular harvests, maybe.. but o would probably run two for a tank that size.. and depending what fish you own.. eg if you have fish that primarily eat pods like dragonettes then I would probs run two or 3 of these.
