Feeding My Fish and Snowflake Eel
Inhabitants of my 310 gallon reef aquarium include:
Desjardini sailfin tang
Purple tang
Powder brown tang
Flamefin tomini tang
Orange & white ocellaris clowns
Black & white ocellaris clowns
Blue reef chromis
Lyretail anthias
Royal gramma
Coral beauty
Melanurus wrasse
Snowflake eel
I broadcast feed PE mysis and brine shrimp mixed with pureed shrimp, scallop, cod & squid. The eel gets large chunks of shrimp, fish and squid. Dried nori rounds out the tangs' diet. They also get pellets from the auto-feeder twice a day to keep the anthias healthy.

Setting Up My All-In-One Nano Aquarium (in under 4 minutes)
Переглядів 2 тис.6 місяців тому
This is a quick tutorial on how to set up an all-in-one nano saltwater aquarium - aquascaping, mixing saltwater, adding sand and preparing equipment. It’s easier than you might think. Come back soon because I’m really excited about what I’m putting in the tank. Thanks to George from @coralfish12g for sending me this kit to try out. You can learn more or buy your own here: www.coralfish12g.com/p...
Tour of Dream Aquarium Fish Room
Переглядів 6 тис.8 місяців тому
I built my dream aquarium fish room out of the unfinished portion of my basement. It’s 15 by 10 feet, with mold-resistant drywall covered in FRP. Most of the controller systems are mounted on the wall or controller board, and I have an iPad for accessing my apps and aquarium log. My custom-built acrylic sump contains my filter socks, UV sterilizers, two-part dosers, protein skimmer, refugium, h...
My New All-in-One Nano Aquarium
Переглядів 1,4 тис.9 місяців тому
So many things to be excited about. This is my first all-in-one system and my first nano tank. It was sent to me as a gift by a very prominent aquarium UA-cam channel - more on that later. I’m going to use it to show how easy it is to set up a saltwater aquarium. I’m hoping to get suggestions on what to put in it!

Not Your Typical Auto Feeder Setup!
Переглядів 1,2 тис.9 місяців тому
One of my goals for this tank was to keep a large shoal of lyretail anthias. Unfortunately I lost several of them in quarantine, which I now know was from an infection with mycobacterium marinum ("fish TB"). Before I could even build my shoal I needed to set up an automatic fish feeder. I use the Eheim Everyday Fish Feeder, which has worked great. I keep it filled with a mixture of pellet foods...

    Thank you for sharing! I had no clue until last week that you can catch an infection from your fish/ tank!

  • @AoDAzrael
    @AoDAzrael 25 днів тому

    So I have read about this happening before, but I believe the case I read about was about a freshwater tank that someone broke down after their fish died. Did you have any open wounds or scratches on your hand/forearm at that time or did the infect get through your skin?

    Great information! I often dip my hands in my tanks for maintenance and often notice an unusual amount of dryness and discoloration of the nail beds. Working with many Hand Surgeons over the years have led me to believe the tank water was causing this. I’ve seen advanced cases of tenosynovitis and it’s nasty. Nowadays I use gloves worn up to my elbows.

    You should look into maxilla deformation on your daughter & get that corrected asap or she'll have lifelong complications. It's very likely diet & thumb-sucking related (I also had issues as a kid) & it's easier to deal with as a kid before the bones permanently set as an adult. Encourage eating food that's hard to chew like carrots, jerky, steak & whatnot so the kids will have a strong, healthy smile & no sinus issues.

    One of my coworkers got this. We clean the bottom of ships in the marina and he cut his hand on the bottom on one. We're usually under water most of the day.

    • @BaconCove
      @BaconCove 4 місяці тому

      I've heard that second to aquarium keepers, the most common place people get the infection is cleaning barnacles off the bottoms of ships. I like to watch videos of people doing what you do -- you probably think it's boring, but I think it's super cool!

    I have a fresh water tank. I always check for cuts or sores on my hands and arms before putting them in the water. If there’s anything, I will avoid touching the water. Then I sanitize my arms and hands really well before washing them very well. I want to avoid any weird diseases or infections.

    Very cool to know about, thanks for the info. Glad your doing well. I'm surprised you had never mentioned to any doctor that you constantly have your hands in aquariums. Maybe a good thing for everyone else to know is mention they are in the hobby or professional when seeing doctors. Again, glad your doing well, that's a crazy surgery to go through. Reminds me of getting cellulitis, but worse!

    I just recently got into the aquarium hobby, like less than a year ago. Your video came up randomly in my feed, I watched it, and thought, well, that's interesting, but it's super uncommon and definitely won't happen to me, since I'm always wearing gloves when I'm working with my tanks. A few weeks back I accidentally sliced my finger open. A few days later I have these red bumps crawling up my arm, then both arms. I think to myself, well, this seems familiar, but no way, can't be. So I go see a doctor. Apparently can be. Now I'm on Doxycycline. Thanks for making this video.

      Yes, it's more common in salt water environments but lives in fresh water as well.

      @BaconCove 4 місяці тому

      Nope -- typing with it now. Just can't fully extent my fingers fully when my wrist is bent back. The tendons are a bit scarred. It's a minor thing and it could have been so much worse. I'm grateful every day it got treated when it did!

  • @stoneneils
    @stoneneils 5 місяців тому

    Prednisone and other steroids and lifesavers. My hearing was restored AND my nasal passage a few years later. They really do supercharge the body's immune/healing or whatever the hell it is. I am grateful as hell. If anybody reading this losing hearing one day..run for steroids.

  • @ManuFortis
    @ManuFortis 5 місяців тому

    Just something to note. You shouldn't say the dominant hand is infected, but rather 'the limb exposed to the environment/water/etc'. The only reason is simply that while it may seem like common sense what you meant by that, there are some people who will take you very literally, and so because they used their non-dominant hand that one time; won't think anything of it. I know, I know, pedantic. But seriously, this will be the difference for some ninny out there.

  • @beauxhanson7479
    @beauxhanson7479 5 місяців тому

    This is so crazy for me to hear because I went through this too and I’ve never heard of anyone else getting it. I caught it early thankfully. It took about 8 different doctors over a couple months until I found a hand surgeon who asked the same thing. “Do you have fish tanks?” After that I went to an infectious disease doctor and then I got sliced open a little bit to get it tested. I went on the tuberculosis meds and some other one for about 6 months. I hadn’t had any losses recently before but I had gotten a mudskipper a couple months before the cyst things started showing up so I assume I got the infection from him. I just got off my antibiotics a few months ago. Yours seemed bigger than mine. I had about 15 small ones on my hand tendons and then 3 on my wrist and 3 big ones on my forearm tendons.

    • @BaconCove
      @BaconCove 4 місяці тому

      Wow, glad you got treated early. I've got about 2 months left of my antibiotic regimen -- looking forward to putting that behind me. Hope you're fully recovered. Thanks for leaving a comment!
