@@SeanLaughs yep! Do what you can naturally but if that’s not working just take it out with chemiclean. The hobby is meant to be fun, it’s not worth it to be driven crazy.

@@Saltyrootsjax Very true man, trying to enjoy it lol

I never used chemi-clean or any other chemical fix. If it’s killing cyano then what else is it killing?

@@gregorykarapetian2822 unfortunately, this strain is prorocentrum which stays in the sand bed and lower rock. It doesn’t naturally go into the water column to be sterilized. However, I’m hoping as I continue to siphon it, and move it around, I will make it go into the water column a the UV will help!

Keep up these videos man! As a guy who also is about to have a newborn I just sold my system and regret it so bad. I got the itch bad. Watching these videos gets me really motivated to start a new system. Might at least start cooking up some dry rock in a 100 gallon Rubbermaid tote so I don’t have to battle this as bad.

@ great idea to start seeding some rock. I have a decent amount in the sump on the bigger tank and think it’s a great idea to always have some live rock on hand. As they say, the hobby can be as expensive or as cheap as you make it. Plenty of ways to have a successful reef tank on a budget. I’m enjoying the 20 gallon way more than I thought I would and it’s super easy and inexpensive to run. Appreciate the support. Comments like that definitely make me want to keep making the videos!

@@samlevine1114 thanks, Sam. Really appreciate the support!

@@thereefaholic this was over a year ago and I haven’t had any issues since. That said, both of my mp40’s are pretty old. I honesty need to replace them at this point. They have served me well for many years tho!

@@queencityreefs no, I can’t say I’ve ever seen it extended too long so maybe that’s what’s going on. Very helpful and thank you!

@@Saltyrootsjax anytime

@@manuelsanlucar_ No, not necessary. The return pump is plenty of flow for the coral I have. If you had SPS corals in a small tank, you would likely want to add an additional small wave pump or 2.

@@Saltyrootsjax thanks 👍🏼

@@15JDMRuckus on this setup, I was running a Neptune COR 15 and two mp40’s but he mp40’s were turned way down.

@@MikeLemming Thanks, Mike! This next one is looking pretty gnarly so far.

@@moereefer just cut it right at the base of where the colony starts and glue that right to the rock, correct? Just get rid of the current single support stick lol

@@BankersReef love it, thanks for the support!

@@michaeltuminello8173 yes I do recommend their tanks. If you are picky about the stand finish, make sure you understand the Prostar tank stands have a shiny gloss finish as opposed to a matte finish. Personal preference thing.

@@jtdr2023 thank you! Means a lot and keeps me creating!

@@g-reef Waterbox

@@Saltyrootsjax quick question what is your settings on the Ai prime for your desktop tank

@@g-reef UV -66%, V -66% RY -72%, B -72%, G -6%, DR -6%, ML -0%, CW -36%. Run it for 8.5 hours with a 30 min ramp up and down. Those percentages are from an old BRS video where they made recommendations for LPS tanks.

@@kimblepik awesome!

@@MikeyColon yeah man, I didn’t want to bother him too much. He was hosting our local club meet up, asked him last second if he could say a few words about the tanks. Wasn’t necessarily there for a true tank tour, otherwise I would have got more info.

@@samlevine1114 thank you!

@@Saltyrootsjax please keep it up. Great content.

@@trapshooterlam right but if the top of the emergency isn’t high enough/close enough to the teeth of the overflow, even when you raise the water to slightly lower than that drain, there is still too large of a drop from the tank to the water level in the overflow box on this tank, causing the slashing sound. The drain needs to be raised higher so that when you raise the water via the gate valve, the water comes in and has a very minimal drop to the water line.

@@Luxuriouswhite 😂 probably would have been the smart move in hindsight. I was pretty confident with at least one of the methods, I would get them off tho and I really would have preferred to get them off even if they went away with water. Still should have checked it out first like you said tho!

He does sell his zoa’s but unfortunately, he does not ship coral. Only sells locally.

@@davidcastonguay2069 what are you keeping? SPS, LPS, mixed reef?

Im keeping LPS and leather coral ! But i only have 5 coral for now im ont the " keep your time with everything " 😅 and im always scared to add something new in the tank .. im on the project to setup a frag quarantine !

@@davidcastonguay2069 if you have the space, a coral quarantine is very nice to have. Definitely best practice but don’t get too worried. Over worrying takes away from enjoying the hobby. Over the years I’ve learned pests are inevitable. Nearly impossible to 100% avoid them. Instead, do what you can to prevent them without driving yourself crazy and when they do pop up, don’t panic. There is always something you can do to take care of the problem.

@@Saltyrootsjax i close my last tank because of aptaisa ! So i dont want this crap again ...

@@gsxrfire8310 didn’t notice that. Thanks for the tip!

Um but if you take a shot every time he says you know

@@reefs363 yeah at the end of the day we just have to remember the most important thing is to put more focus on the trend of the results than the specific number. Stability is king in this hobby! I would just do 3 tests once a month and take the average.

@@johnbrand1893 I suppose that’s a possibility as well. Never had a clownfish jump but I know all fish can and will sometimes do it.

@@Inkmice I’m not sure on weight but I would say definitely 3 people. I had three to lift mine. All three of us very average size and were able to do it pretty easily. I think it would be tough with just 2 tho.

@@iansmith2847 correct, that is what the gate valve helps with. However, if the emergency drain isn’t tall enough, it doesn’t matter how much you tighten the gate valve for this particular problem. The noise is from the water coming into the overflow box. The water in the box is too low, causing the water coming in to splash. Again, you are correct in needing to tighten the gate valve to raise the water level but because the emergency drain isn’t tall enough, in order to raise the water high enough to eliminate the noise, you would need to tighten the valve so much that the water is then completely covering the emergency drain, which you don’t want. So, the emergency drain needs to be raised.

Doesnt help, Ive tried 200 times. The tricking sound can get incessent

@@MrLeoxlim awesome!

@@g-reef definitely agree. Really happy it worked out and they are getting along!

@@Greg2385F loving mine so far. Good luck!

@@nhathuynh1574 first link is the y fitting. Second is one option - flare nozzles.

@@Saltyrootsjax thank you 🙏

@@CorgisWineAndNails haha I was cracking myself up with that music but your right, it really is how it feels. Especially when it’s the actual WB truck and not FedEx.

@@boosterman7023 No, I have a big tub of extra rock. Used that for the new tank. Let the old rock dry out then put it into the tub.

@@francescodivincenzo5765 nope! They didn’t come back. I think chemi clean works very well. While general advice will tell you to find the cause of the cyano, I personally don’t think we know enough about it to really be able to pinpoint the real cause, so just take care of it and move on!

@@Saltyrootsjax how your No3 and Po4 level?

That’s great! Makes such a difference to have a quiet tank.
