What are those red tetra that you have called? They look similar to the colombian tetra but are all red.
I believe you are talking about the harlequin rasbora. Let me know if that is what you’re talking about!
a wrasse might take care of those bristle worms for you.
I was thinking that too but I think my tank might be too small for a wrasse, maybe I could for the short term🤔
My big 17year old has the same thing since i put in a new 1 year old but hes starting to stop so i think u shouldnt worry
Whats the name of the coral where the clown is in 6:35
That is a Frogspawn coral, part of the LPS family
I like your tank setup. It is very similar to mine here in the UK which I have been running for 8 months with similar fish and corals. Very interesting information about how your tank is running which helps me to compare mine with yours. The Coral Banded Shrimp is defiantly now on my shopping list! Thank you. Greg
Hey Greg, thanks for the comment I appreciate it! You will love a coral banded shrimp in your tank for sure 👍
@@fishwateraquatics Thanks. I am just about to message my local store to see if they have any! 😁😁
Tank is looking good!
Thank you!
The toadstool or any leather will start to move by attaching to nearby surfaces of rocks towards light. I’ve got a 20 gallon just like yours setup for my son
The coral banned shrimp will destroy the Bristol worm. Love watching them. I’ve just got a new one myself
Sweet I’m glad to hear, I can’t wait for mine to start eating them!!
Update on the Toadstool leaning over, it just needed more flow:) I would still like to separate it from the Kenya tree rock though
It took me about a couple years to pull the trigger on using pool filter sand for a couple of my smaller tanks, weighing in on the pros and cons I'm glad I did. I haven't found any reason not to use it over "fish store sand", it's the same density and granule size, and looks natural to me. Cost wise it's around .20 cents a pound where fish store sand is anywhere from $1-$1.50 a pound.
Yes I agree! I think it is worth it for sure unless you want some crazy colors or “crushed coral sand” to raise your PH. Other than that I’d for sure use pool filter sand. Thanks for watching!
What brand would you suggest? Thanks!
I used HTH because it was the first one I found, it’s been great but I’m sure any brand of pool filter sand will work👍
Got it, thanks!
I converted my 20 high fresh to saltwater and it’s all inspired by your videos. Fluval canister, nicrew classic led strip, heater, cheap wave maker and a lid. Thanks again for your videos!
Awesome I love to hear it! Make sure to do plenty of research when it comes to starting a new reef aquarium, knowing how to cycle it is important as well as understanding the different stages with a new reef tank for the first few months. It will be lots of fun, best of luck!!!
@ thank you!
they going to breed soon look how the male is cleaning the rock just under the anemone
good to see the tank bouncing back
Thank you!
What do you have as a cleanup crew? I don't see any snails or hermits? I'd def add some as they're excellent to clean up food the fish miss that's adding to your dino -> algae issue. As you mentioned dino's are from a lack of nutrients and often too much light, however balancing out the ecosystem is usually what I've found works best over my 22 years in the hobby. Also, look in to carbon dosing, that also will help if you're feeding a lot. Obviously water changes and a skimmer will also help out massively.
Hey thanks for the comment I appreciate it! As of now I have a ton of bristle worms which I am trying to cut back on, but they basically are my cleanup crew. I do want to get some snails to help with the glass! I will look into carbon dosing, as of now I’m doing a bi weekly water change so that is helping :)
@fishwateraquatics yeah the bristle worm debate has dragged out for decades. I personally dont like them. They are great detrivors but can become extremely problematic as they get larger in some systems so that's a good call. You can make bristleworm traps fairly easy with soda bottles that do the trick, in the past that's what I used. I'd try to do that to put a dent in them. Then I'd look at getting a conch...fighting or tiger. I suspect your sand has a lot to do with your nutrients issue as you don't have anything technically stirring it up which can lead to tds... why nassrius and conchs are excellent for that. I'd bet adding a few + carbon dosing and your biweekly water changes would make a massive difference in a month or less.
Nice video. I have almost the same coral and lighting setup as you. I have a bunch of Mushrooms, toadstools, finger leather and LPS.. ua-cam.com/video/UMyw19KCoPY/v-deo.html My finger leather is growing like crazy, literally by the day!
Thanks, that sounds like a good setup you got! I’ll have to check it out:)
Good show
I bought 2 severums last week ... They were sold as Gold Severums , though they don't have red eyes ..they have a bit of yellow on their eyes and tips of their fins ...but they look white for the rest if the colour... Will they change to yellow or are they sounding like a hybrid? Thank you
Where did you get the scary drift wood great video.
I got it from Petco online! It was hard to find, it may be discontinued as I got it many years ago
You don’t cover your heater,filter intake or wave maker? Genuinely curious, I’m planning on getting an anemone and was thinking you had to basically safeguard all these things first.
No I do not cover anything, honestly it can be risky but I’ve never had any issues. Usually my anemones will settle down and never move after that. It is always good to anemone proof your tank if you want to be extra careful, nothing wrong with that!
Your tank looks like ass bro. I have a mature tank with all types or organisms and sponges but you really don’t need to have your tank looking like straight ass
Beautiful tank, but you don’t really have any aggressive fish. Sevs and geos generally do well with anything too big to eat
Yeah you’re right, they are mainly aggressive with each other. I’ve seen some aggression but not much. I truly believe if I put a tiny Oscar in my tank and it grew up with all the peaceful fish, he would leave them alone. Thanks for the comment :)
@ Ya, Oscar’s aren’t really aggressive either. I think they’d do fine with geos and sevs assuming it’s the right size tank. I had a 75 with a group of G. Sveni and a shoal of hujeta, I kinda miss it now lol
Oh wow that sounds like a nice setup! Oscar can be aggressive depending on the individual. I’ve had Green Terrors with the Denison barbs and some bigger tetras and the green terror left them alone. It can be done just depends on the fish for sure
@@fishwateraquatics Oh ok, yes as far as those type of fish they can be a little too aggressive. Sorry, I guess I was comparing them to other stuff I’ve kept lol
@@fishwateraquatics I dig those roseline BTW, one of the few I’ve never had a chance to keep
I'm still working on outcompeting the cyano in my saltwater tank. Phytoplankton helped me a lot with the dinos too! Can't wait to see how your tank grows! Stinks when crashes happen; the less fun side of the hobby. Good luck! 😁
Thank you! Good luck to you as well, it’s definitely a marathon when it comes to Dinos and cyano lol. It’s doing better, looking at getting some new coral from my LFS soon once they get a new shipment:)
Based on your recommendation and scoping out multiple others I finally decided on ordering one. Thanks for this video, hoss!
@@AustinOfAmes absolutely man I’m glad to hear it! You’ll enjoy it for sure!
Thank You!!!!❤❤❤
Nice video! I’m new to the hobby and I wanted to ask what type of filter do you need, there was mention of a few. If you can provide some advice or resources that would be great. Thank you.
There are many filters you can go with, personally I like the Aqua clear filters. I’ve been running mine for many years without issues, theyre not loud, easy to take apart and clean, and have lots of space on the inside to customize whatever you want to put in it as far as filter media, bio balls, carbon ect. I hope this helps! Welcome to the hobby :)
Can the bleeding heart , white skirt and black skirt cross breed ?
That’s a great question, honestly I have no idea. I’ve never bread them so I am not the best person to ask on this. I’m sure on some forum someone has the answer!
PFS is great, I have some in my indoor pond
That’s awesome! Indoor pond sounds so cool
@ I would prefer a large tank, but for the size the pond was $200 vs around $1500 for a tank lol
My reef is similar, I picked up an aqueon 14g rimless cube on sale for 37, I also run an AC50 and the Fluval sea wavemaker and a fluval heater. The only part I spent a little more on was the light which is a kessil a80 blue that I got with the gooseneck for 165
This is an excellent video. Good info, a tank that is more like what most people have instead of the high price rimless tanks like red sea’s etc…with expensive equipment and stock. We need more relatable vids like this Great job- subbed
Thank you I appreciate it!
This isn't an excellent video. He has too high of nutrients if spiroid worms are populating like that. Stop believing everything on the internet. This tank is junk.
I lost my 25 gallon after 4 years due to power failure during Hurricane Helene. I also lost mostly everything in my 10 gallon except one zebra hermit, some GSP, and a Kenya Tree. In regards to the dinoflaggelates, I struggled with them for several months until I finally performed two blackout periods.
Aw man it’s always tough losing a tank especially to a natural disaster:( I’m glad you were finally able to beat Dino’s that is always hard!
I have a 10 gallon tank do u recommend 1 or 2
Just 1 would be good for sure! I have the flow on the lowest setting in my 20 gallon and it’s plenty strong:)
@@JoseMartinez-rs3ns 1 w/return flow for anything under 30 I have in my 32g 2. A larger and a smaller one. Both set to 40%. Together with the return flow flow with create the turbulence or gyre needed
Beautiful, beautiful tank
Thank you!
You will get more water movement with clean smooth glass
Yes you’re right! Also I had the power head turned all the way down so it had plenty of power:)
I’ve had a pair of each of these 1600g and 2600g HYGGERS for over a year and they are great! In my reef tank. Easy to set up also. I put a set in the tank and always keep a fresh clean one. Swap them out once a month. They are simple to take apart and clean also. Also SUPER quiet. It sits under my feed cup. The fish love to chase the food. I LOVE the auto feed button also because o don’t need to remember to turn it back on.
That’s great I’m glad you love yours too! The auto feed button is super convenient for sure:)
@@fishwateraquatics these were referred to me by someone to use and have been the best wavemakers
Beautiful fish I can’t wait to get some Severums,a question where’d you find that tree decoration??
Yes they definitely are awesome and you will love them! I got the tree from petco years ago online. Not sure if they still have it or if it is discontinued
I'm upgrading my saltwater reef aquarium and I wish I could use this stuff! Such a shame this cheap option isn't an option for a reef; it looks so nice!😩 Another great cheap alternative for freshwater is apparently blasting sand - you can get the stuff made of quartz or garnite and it looks very pretty! Also: non-clumping plain clay cat litter is a great freshwater plant substrate that works as well or better than expensive plant substrates!❤
Yeah it would be nice if you could use it in a salt water tank. Thank you for sharing the info! I’ll have to keep that in mind if I ever setup a planted tank :)
These guys remind me of saltwater angelfish and I love it❤
They do! They’re pretty sweet
That tree is awesome
32 LED biocube coming up on 8 months but been having issues with LPS corals and just started getting more Red Cyano back again. Its been a process, been through diatoms, then red Cyano and some mild GHA. Then had a Phytoplankton spike while the red cyano was taking over, tried a blackout that basically killed the cyano but had to run a UV for a bit to rid the phyto. Then a stubborn Bryopsis outbreak. But my rear glass is about 65% COVERED in purple algae and noticed the sea sponges about 4 months ago. Had tons of those spiral white worms or whatever after about 2 months. Tropic Marin Pro Reef and no dosing currently but prob why im having LPS issues. Starting nitrate and phos dosing in the next few days as 4 fish is not keeping nutrients high enough. Id say I gotta be close to done with the uglies and seems to be maturing....or something
Hygger sent me here, new sub :)
Awesome I love to hear it! Thanks for the support I appreciate it :)
Broke first try
I just found your channel. Thanks for posting this power head unboxing.
Hey Jake I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the comment :)
Everyone acts like saltwater is impossible. I have a hob w protein skimmer in a 55g and doing just fine. I lost a bunch of fish already between moving and such. It definitely isn't super easy but managble I feel like.
Moving definitely makes things difficult! Best of luck to you in the future, it is manageable for sure, just takes time
@@fishwateraquatics thank you! one problem I have is a very territorial yellow belly blue hippo tang
@@fishwateraquatics he shredded his twin and so far two angelfish
Hello I am having pair of yellow severum but male is not fertili so please guide me for this
Unfortunately I am not well experienced in breeding severums so I won’t be able to help you out, I’m sorry :(
Thank you for an interesting video. I live in the UK and have a similar size tank as yours that I set up on the 1st May this year. My first reef tank. What you had to say was very informative and answered lot of my questions about how my tank was maturing. I have subscribed to your channel becuase I am interested in seeing how you progress with reef keeping and hopefully pick up ideas and get answers to some of my many questions about the hobby. Thanks again. Greg
Hey Greg thanks for stopping by man! Glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you enjoy my future vids as well! Welcome to the great hobby of reef keeping!
@@fishwateraquatics Thanks for the welcome. I look forward to learning more form your videos. They are nicely presented.
This being one of my favorite channels, question for you. How do you top off this aquarium and how often?
Thank you I greatly appreciate it! I don’t get too much evaporation with my glass lid, I’d say I top it off once every 2 weeks. I could do a little once a week but I just tend to wait that extra week until I can see that water line drop.
I bought a severum and they told me it is lemon severum can that be right?
Yeah there are Lemon Severums, they are like a bright yellow color. They’re pretty sweet especially when they grow up!
@@fishwateraquatics thank you
get yourself some kind of uv and maybe look into ozone, ozone WILL kill dinos and prevent some algaes but its kind of an advanced thing to do and you need a orp probe. maybe increase feeding to increase nutrients?
I tried UV but I’ll look into Ozone. As of now I raised my nutrients and the Dino’s are gone for the most part. The hard part is keeping them away. I’m trying to keep my nitrates to 5-10ppm if I can from now on. Thanks for the comment:)
How many gallons
20 gallon
raise your tank temp if you have dinos to 82F, it will clear it up. read the reefbuilders article
That’s a great tip, thanks for the suggestion!
