How To Start a Brine Shrimp Culture Indoors- raising to adults
Any instructions on how to build?
For a second there, I thought there was a giant clownfish swimming across the tank 😂😂😂
That’s a nasty sand bed to bed talking about maintenance..regular cleaning maintenance.
Here in Australia it's just too easy to get fresh salt water, we have guys who are licensed to collect it from national parks and beaches that are far away from cities. We have companies that will deliver it to your door in 1000L lots (264 gal). It's a good weekly ritual because it makes you "disrupt" the tank and look at it. You can see which fish act weird under mild stress, it makes you notice stuff about corals as the water level drops. It reminds you to check all the equipment over, see if lines are clogged or skimmer is too wet/dry etc. It reminds you that your filter media needs to be changed sometimes. And so on.
Great video ! Amazing tank
Doesn't sound like low maintenance to me!
U probably won’t like my opinion but I personally prefer the hydra lights over the radions haven’t used gen 5 or 6 I know they are made by the same company but the hydras have better shimmer
That is one healthy, happy and BEAUTIFUL Hippo Tang. Any tips? Im getting a baby this week
What is rodi water? Is this a mixture of ro and distilled or just either or?
Rodi is reverse osmosis deionized water bud. Its highly filtered water. I would recommend Bulk Reef Supply for good deals on good rodi systems
Do your water changes people.

1 year later, and those videos still educational. Fantastic tank
One video required for rotifer culture
Also How to harvest and stock it
Please make a detailed video on dottyback fish breeding including live food for hatched frys.
Aww nice fish name Dory😊
Great explainational video and step by step showing you how it goes together 👍
Water changes sounds better than all this dosing and dosing issues
I’m getting water in the water line that i put out the window the window is right where my tank is so the line is short. 2:14
Where's your heater?
2100 for secod hand :D
Yes! Thank you so much for the complete and practical video on how to adjust the Waterbox Sump to contain both the RedSea Reefmat 500, the RedSea Skimmer 300 and have a Refugium altogether. The way you work neatly organized, despite the unavoidable mess it creates. Looks very similar to my situation I'm into right now 😅 this really helps me out, THX again!
Sorry if I missed it, what do you do about nitrate build up? does the refugium take care of that?
Hi Reef Rx, I want to start culturing the phytoplankton myself. What is the salt salinity do we need? and what is the recommend temperature?
Great video and idea… did you leave a gap at the bottom of the new panel or is it siliconed at the bottom also and the water flows from the top only???
Super nice tank man! You have a lot of skill and I hope to be close to that level one day🤞 I am about to enter the saltwater world and I want to start off with an 8ft tank as I know eventually I will want to upgrade. Is this a bad idea and would I be able to run it with similar to your filtration or need more for that size? Also where can I get some of those shelves you have on the inside of your tank? Guessing glued with no magnet?
I’m nearly done with my basement fish room so I’ll share some lessons learned. I did FRP walls and epoxy floor covering. It’s a semi finished space, but I wanted it water resistant as possible. They make nice PVC wall panels you can get. I would consider those instead of drywall. Other products are Fiberglass reinforced plastic panels. I’d also install some dedicated 20 amp circuits with waterproof covers and make sure you have a little utility sink. I wish I would have done a drop ceiling for a more finished look, but I covered my ceiling with cheaper Polywall panels to contain the insulation. Construction can get a little spendy-especially infrastructure for a fish room, so do your planning and leave options! If you’re going for a finished look, I highly recommend running some conduit through the walls in case you want to run wires or tubing afterwards. Good luck and happy planning!
I hate reeders bragging about this. The top guys in the hobby will tell you this is a bad idea. Congrats if you accomplish it. But I would steer people away from the idea.
Usually the top guys in the hobby have skin in the game and want you to buy their equipment or that of their sponsors.. how about everyone coming together to find the best and easiest way to do no water changes? Also there are people that do a lot of water changes and don't have a tank close to this.. why not learn instead of unwarranted criticism.
👌🔥💯✌️
always looking forward to your videos brother. your content is real and i appreciate when you actually interact with your viewers
Thank you! It’s people like you that keep me coming back. I mean that. Happy reefing.
Sounds like you have a good plan in your mind. Why not use the 300 gallon stock tank as your sump you have it already and wouldn't need to remove any of the substrate. I use a 150 gallon stock tank for my 130 main display. I also plan to install a heat exchanger to heat the tank off of my hot water tank.
The 300 gallon stock tank has a pretty big footprint, and I don’t know if I want to take up all that room. I would probably be fine with the 150 gallon tank. Not really sure yet to be honest
They have drop cieling tile coverd with frp plastic for kitchen in restaurants you can get those
Good to know. Thank you! Probably will go that route then
Doin in big bro! Happy to see it!! Looking forward to seeing how it turns out. I may be interested in the 26’s if you get rid of them. Let me know!
Thanks man. I’ll keep you in mind for those. I’ll probably end up using them on another tank or something, but I’ll let you know.
Kudos can't wait to see it.
Thank you! That makes two of us lol
Bad ass set up man
Thank you!
I change 25% every 2 weeks. Every 2mths... I do 3 25% changes over a week. To reset traces and remove any potential contaminants that could build up over time
Glad that works well for you. I do auto water changes now daily
Is this version 1 or version 2?
Helpful
Thanks for watching. Glad this video was helpful for you
Shout out reef collective on the inside lol
Thank you for watching!
Hi, Great vid! I was wondering how you’ve found the stirrers you’re using? I’m keen to use one for Kalkwasser when I do the build I’m planning. Beautiful tank, thanks for sharing Regards Duzzy🇦🇺
Hi Duzzy, I found them on Amazon, they work great! Search for magnetic stirrers and they should pop up
@@BillysReefRx thank you for replying. I will definitely have a look. I was also wondering is there any chance or sign of the magnetic pellet wearing the container it’s in? I saw your stirrer then saw Jake Adams stir his coral food using one. Again thank you. Regards Duzzy🇦🇺
@darrendobbin2939 no signs of any wear on the magnetic pellet
@@BillysReefRx that would potentially be my only concern over time.
wire nuts? what a hack way of doing it. solder them or at least you shrink butt connectors 😂
Thanks for watching
I really want to get the reef mat 500 but i would be putting it in a 20 long tank do you think this would work in a sump that size ? And now that it has been a year since you have been running the reef mat 500 would you still recommend it for use ?
I think it should be fine. Water volume of my sump was only about 20 gallons or so. And yes, still would highly recommend it. It will always be a must for me for all my tanks
Welcome back! You’re doing a great job!!
Thank you for watching! Ive been slow uploading lately.
Do you buy sand at dumptruck rates?
lol I wish. Thanks for watching
Hey man amazing video! very educational !
Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching
Moving livestock in this hobby is never fun. So stressful and it doesn’t take much for things to go wrong. I lost livestock just moving things over to a bigger tank in the same room. Sorry :(
Sorry to hear that. Its definitely not a fun thing to do.
You got a Cristal meth laboratory on this basement 😅. Was a joke.good video 👍☺️
Lol it sure looks like that! People always say that. Thank you for watching.
Congratulations on the move to the house , sorry to hear the downs but plenty of positive ups too, onwards & upwards , welcome back & see you on the next update 👍🏻🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks so much!
Congrats on the move bro. Sorry to hear about the losses but looking forward to what you do with the a new setup!!
Thanks Mike. Hope all is well
I had the same issue with my water. I had to dig 2 more feet. Now the water is clean and cold.
Oh no. That does not sound like fun. Things have been much better with that filter setup
