Treating Brown Jelly Disease (BJD) in Torch Coral
Hi reefers, this time video explains how i have lost torch heads one by one over a period of 1 years to BJD. And How I Finally Opted for a Serious Treatment of Torch Euphilia Coral with Potassium Chloride (Kcl) + Pyodine (Iodine 10%) followed by a Treatment with Antibiotics. The Video will also show Torch after 2nfd and 3rd day of Treatment n end. Hopefully reefers will get benefit of this video and help them save precious corals.
Warning:- Treat at your own risk. although i have not seen any bad effect of antibiotics at my torch corals and its recovering fast.
happy reefing

Controlling Nitrates (NO3) Successfully in Reef Tank
Great video. I agree with everything except revive. That’s an oil that’s toxic to pests which makes a great pest dip but doesn’t do much for BJD. But everything else is on point
hello, can you tell me can be used calcium reactor without using ph controller?
great job thanks for sharing!
I have a pretty good tank with a few torches that have been doing fine - one dragon soul put out multiple heads and was doing great. Out of nowhere today my knicks torch looked really shrunken, and this evening it looked like it was melting - moving the coral would send little bits all over. I didn't see a lot of brown but I guessed it was BJD and started a course of Cipro I tried dipping the coral but it seemed in pretty bad shape with a very receded fleshy portion so I decided to just throw it away. It was not colored up very well and hadn't added any new heads. Unfortunately it's getting really hard to find cipro!
Is there a update soon???
This is producing some awesome wave effects for the tank! Man I like this so much I think I might just go the diy route also. I think even years after this video was made the diy version you showed will still be cheaper than what tunze is asking for the smaller wave box model.
Go for it!
Great video, helped me a lot too, I was desperate already with the death of many hammers and torches... I just want to point out, you say that ciprofloxacin is affected by light, the solution is put in a clear bottle in the fridge, at some point the light through the bottle, won't that damage it?
agreed, mostly refrigerator light isnt On more then few seconds or minute max and also least bright to make affect for a short opening of door. yet u may keep in dark bottle.
I ran calc reactor for years. Try switching to kalkwasser. I use a reactor and add kalk every 4 to 5 days. It works wayyy better than calc reactor. Better PH, better growth, low phosphates, and great PE.
Thanks for the tip!
I never knew there are reefers in Pakistan. Pretty cool man.
Informative thank you. I have read it will harm clams but how is the clown tang doing? Getting much aggression? I want to get one but on the fence with how mean they can be.
clown started agression on all and finally challenged king of tank yellow tang. next day clown wasnt visible.
@@MQReef Crazy I hear so many say the Yellow Tang is so hardy against other Tangs. Still on the fence I have room for one but would really hate to have a bunch of aggression.
Very interesting idea. I have a 15+ year old Tunze wavebox that has failed. I may try to use it and get one of these pumps in and working. Do you have any way to get the pump out for service?
yes. its back magnet is what should clong pump to back but yes it stucks a bit
Many thanks 🙏😃
Did you get this resolved? I found TIN in my tank from a rusted screw that somehow fell into the sump. A month of battling and some SPS still have STS.
it helped
How is your tank doing now
this torch died but had left few baby torches. one out of them is now multiple heads
@@MQReef you should make a update video of the tank!
Ciao! Ottimo bravo bella idea. Ho trovato il motore, ma per fare in modo che gira dalle due parti va in automatico? Regoli le due viti sotto e basta? Per favore fammi sapere
Do you have a link where to buy that motor mount?
any cctv camera shops
You have to be careful with tropic Marin reef Pro salt mag is over 1500 pH 8.2 dkh9 calc off charts there stats are way off I been using it for 2 years love it but be careful doing such a big change
i never had issues with continuous wacher change 100ml per hour and 2.4 ltrs of fresh elements.
Ciao, amico potresti scrivermi i vari dosaggi e tempo di ogni prodotto in ordine? Anche in inglese dopo traduco io in italiano. Grazie 🙏🏻
naam hi kafi hey!! well done on the diy!
thx
BRILLIANT!!!!
Life saver saved my torch thank you
good to hear that
Good job 👍
Such a nice tank. Healthy!
thx
Hey bro great diy! Can you please help me find one of those camera mounts I tried and cannot, and also how do you make it pan back and forth like that?
any cctv camera has arm mounts
❤
One nice man… i would like to make one like this… Can you let me know what camera you used or the link.. how you do it to rotate without any other settings
Any prescription for bleach on LPS?
check worms, but u can try same for safety, have 6 line wrasse for pests and cleaner shrimps
that magnetic would rust the outside magnetic i mean
i used silicone over it well
How does the box change the function the wave maker already has....?
its pumping action is used . but does slows down other waves being counter waves
Actually the pump should be pumping water from the tank into that chamber tower, that would then increase in water level in that chamber and when the pump stops pumping for a moment, the water will rush back out by gravity and thus create a surge of water that result in a wave. But in that case the tower would be sticking out of and above the aquarium water level. This method seems to work well enough for your tank so it’s great. Thanks for sharing! @2869may : the difference would be then that you create a bigger potential/surge by storing water in that chamber which will release in one big surge. Think of it like a flashlight of a camera, a capasitor that stores small bits of energie to release at one big fast go

Qazi sb this formulla works for my cynerina as well, many thanks for sharing your experience ❤️
good to know that
Awesome man .
Oh that was lovely... Such a submersible intro...
hopefully its a successful experiment. Cause Euphyllia is very expansive coral
@@MQReef I remember its placement really complimented the landscape. Was a sight. Hopefully it will grow back and bigger than ever
@@HasaanFazal yes 🙂
I love this idea! I noticed in your 32mth update video that the sea sweep wasn’t turning. Did the motor on the mount break?
it went to over flow side. few frags of sps tissue loss as gyres flow wud struck down on them. may in few months till frags also encrust well and branch. its working
Glorious! Can watch this thing for hours!
I’ve always thought about it’s possible to make, I just never had the materials and the apparent skill that you have. Bravo. Incredible work.
thx, yes made it easy for reefers
I will follow! Thanks for sharing this great video.
Nice!
Thx for comment , it was Beyond Expectation.
Forget the ICP, the results are not reliable. Waste of money and time
yes to some extant but enough to identify toxicity as explained in previous videos
I cannot find the motorized mount.
seach security cctv camera. mount is integral part if its moving right left
@@MQReef Nowaday, they have 255degree version, it spin almost full circle and with tilting option which is not working well.
Nice video! This is JohnL from Reef Central
Hi. Thx for visiting.
JP seems to update their Program. W1 is not longer a full stop but a slow down. Will this work?
W1 works well at SW-15 , you can adjust length of Waves and break in between with Dial Only. i Run at 80% of Dial power at W1
@@MQReef It did try. It didn't work. As wave didn't stopped, it's just slow down... Which kind of preventing the water from coming in.
@@austinjt4264 Use Wavemaker Controller Mode for Abrupt Wave. W1 s first mode im using for it. @nd If u use a bigger Wave maker then use Center Dial to adjust
@austinjt4264 yeah it seems so. They never totally stop... (App control) did you try a model whit "manual knob control" im about to make a guess and buy one lol
I see the scape has changed since your last few videos. Seems we should be excited for new additions to the tank. Keep us posted!
