Since I put the algae scrubber on my tank most of my algae problems in my display tank have gone. I also use a liquid phosphate remover and between the two I do not have a problem. Thanks for all the great videos. They have really helped me get back into the hobby after a long break and given me a lot of useful ideas and tips. Just hurry up and start suppling to the UK market!
It took me many years to learn some of this information, mostly through trial and error. Its cool to hear someone explain algae control so quickly and concisely.
Congratulations to you and your wife on your new baby. I have to say, this is one of the best advice episodes I've seen about algae. I'll be posting this video in my local reef forum. I swear by GFO and R.S. NO/PO. I also run a fug. just for show really. But still getting good macro growth. my levels of Nitrate run between 1-2 ppm and Phos. around 0.19. Those levels seem to work for my reef. I'd like to see PO4 come down some, but like I said, the reef is doing great. Thanks for the great videos. Again, congratulations on God's gift to you and your wife. Enjoy.
Your content is consistently wonderful. My daughter who is the fish specialist at Petco recommends your 52 weeks of reefing to her customers alongside her assistance. You never disappoint.
In all my tank both fresh and salt I find that water changes fix everything !! A good cleaning with good water changes will always make a noticeable difference . For the most part if your fish look sick water changes, something to high or low water changes, algae water changes, corals start to look bad water changes
I can definitely attest to lighting as a source. My bio-cube came with a single row LED el-cheap-o "lighting setup". NEVER had an issue with algae. I got a Current Orbit Marine LED programmable unit (love it!) and now I am getting minor algae on the glass; nothing a swipe with the glass squeegee can't handle every 3-4 days. Turning down the intensity to 70% helped reduce the algae growth, too. Agreed with the others, information over-load! Not complaining, just...wow!
All correct. Low lighting = White 60 % Blue = 80% Red = 15% Green = 15%. Tank light on 8 hrs full then goes to 50% of settings, 1 hr moonlight. Maintenance is scrapping of brown algae on tank sides and bubble/cyano by scraping. Suction sand 3 x week with 10 % water change. Filtration is Skimmer, two large filter socks and additional filter connected to circ pump with floss / carbon. Net out excess food when circ pump goes back on. Corals like the extra circulation of micro bits in the water created by netting.
I don't watch sports but if Ryan were the announcer then I would. Amazing how he can put all that info into single sentences. Flynn will have a lot to learn :)
Do some more Nano Tank videos! I love the setup videos for the fusion line. But I'd love to see more videos as far as upgrades or alternative options from what's in the starter kit y'all sell. I've been binge watching BRS videos for a week!
I am running one of the new L2 skimmers from Turbo Aquatics and I can see a difference in the amount of algae in the tank. It has started to all recede and is even taking longer in between glass cleanings. I notice you had his older version on your video. The new one is all extruded plastic with adjustable LED and removable clear polycarbonate basket. It also has a new custom square spray bar. Very nice product so far.
Not certain when this video was posted, but with it being 2018 now, there have to be many good commercially produced algae scrubbers out there. Can you please post a link to the good ones? Great series of videos mate! Your information is extremely valuable - I've just started reefing again after 20 years. I just bought a 6' long x 3' deep x 2.5' wide (396 US gallons or approx 1300 litres) complete with tank, cabinet, sump, LED hood (blue tooth adjustable), filtration, 5 power heads, 3 reactors. But no protein skimmer, algae scrubber or RODI. I paid $3,500.00 Australian (around $2,700.00 USD) which is an excellent price. This is a massive tank and I'm a bit frightened because soooooo much has changed in the 20 odd years I've been without a marine/reef tank. I still have an older 24" tall protein skimmer (wooden stone type that sits in the tank) but the skimmers I've researched today are extremely expensive!! I'm seriously considering DIY ing my own sump skimmer with a good needle impeller head but not sure how big it needs to be for a system that will be close to 400 gallons (including sump). The ones I've seen that cover up to 1500 litres cost in excess of $1,000.00! My older 6x2x2 tank from 20 years ago used the skimmer I mentioned above, but I built my own one back then that was 6" diameter by 3' long. It hung outside the tank and had a power head with venturi. It did such an excellent job that I pulled the commercial one out. It was expensive too. That's why I kept it when I sold my tank back then. My questions are: 1) Can I build a successful skimmer for this new tank? 2) How big should it be if it is going into the sump? 3) If I can't find a commercially available algae scrubber, could I DIY one? If so, what spectrum should the LEDS be to grow algae in it? 4) Can I DIY a RODI as well? 5) Was buying such a huge tank a good choice? 20 odd years ago, the bigger the marine tank, the better (more stable) it was. Does that still hold true today? I don't want to make any mistakes with this monster system because I want it to last me through my twilight years (I just turned 63) with as little fuss as possible. I just outlayed $3,500.00 and I know I'm going to have to spend more but my budget isn't limitless! Thanks in advance!!
Great Series guys! I know its a little outside of your wheel house, but I'm wondering if you guys could do some video's on FOWLR tanks? I think it would be fun to start off with fish only and then add some easy care soft corals down the road. Also, how about an office tank tour!
Wow..this was an excellent video very informative and helpful thank you so much...I just got my 75 gal reef back in good parameters im thinking bout adding an algea scrubber...thanks again for the info
Great video and welcome back, out of all the great things you guys do I have to comment on the video editing... its top notch and just makes your videos that much better. keep the videos coming.
Great video... Algae scrubber, huge water changes and manual removal have helped me with fighting Bryopsis... Nice to know I've been on the right track 👍🏾
Probably because algae scrubbers work better than most tools provided to control algae. Look at allllllll the products to get rid of algae uet a scrubber has been 99% effective.
Ive been reefing for over 10 years and the food concepts delivered here were fairly new in regards to pellets nutrient density. I always thought frozen foods were nutrient dense downfalls.
Nice to see you back, Ryan . . . congratulations, daddy, on your child and also to your wife. T.R. did a great job in your absence. You all deal very factually and helpfully on even difficult topics, and as much as hobbyists and researchers alike have learned a lot over the years . . . it goes to show there is still a lot in God' Creation, that man still does not know. Again, congratulations on your baby, and may your baby grow healthy and safely in this very perilous days on earth.
awesome video. very thorough! congrats on your new baby! i have high nitrates. sugar dosing works awesome for me! i didn't want to dose everyday so i moved to a reef octopus bio pellet reactor. it's been about 6 weeks. hoping it works well. also just started a refugium for the 125 gallon tang stocked tank. thanks!
Congrats again. I run a Calcium reactor and I had a theory on further scrubbing Co2. I run the effluent into a small refugium in my sump. I figured the algae would feed the excess. Honestly I don't think it's really doing anything but if others are interested in would like to hear if anyone else has noticed a difference.
I had a huge algae problem for the longest time. I was doing everything "right". I was doing 25-50% water changes weekly and tried biweekly. My problem would just not go away. That's when I followed the advise of the owner of the Fish Bowl in Camden DE. He said my water changes are too big. I have a 60 gallon reef tank. He told me to do 3 gallon water changes a week. After following his advice, IT WORKED!! He said I Was changing too much water and the tank kept cycling over and over every time I made a 25-50% water change.
Informative and Very Comprehensive as always... appreciate BRStv covering this topic! ... A combination of consistent water changes, carbon, phosphate removing media and Red Sea Reef Care Program has helped my mixed reef tank control algae.
Ryan, you should highlight the fact that algae spores generally come in via contamination on frag plugs and other things that are wet that enter the tank. For the longest time I thought living with the possibility of an algae outbreak at any moment was just a way of life. I would have to keep my tank near sterile in order to prevent an outbreak, because spores existed in my system, angering my corals and never allowing me to fully dial in my system. Avoiding algae introduction through h202 dips and frag plug removal will go a long way. Removing the spores via a fluconazole treatment then using good practices to avoid recontamination would go a long ways as well. At least for the common hair/bryopsis types, which seem to be the most problematic.
I feel like I need to add something here. First off, MASSIVE thanks for your videos!!! They are my go to place for learning about my Reef tank. (never had one until a year ago, knew nothing about it, your videos were / are my info source. :-) I have been having a algae issue now for a few weeks... I did everything you suggested and still having issues, I thought it would be worth mentioning that it turns out that my RODI filters needed changing as the output was 27ppb (hanna checker) I changed the filters and BOOM 0 ppb from the same tester. :-) :-)
I had a 300 gal system and I never had much of an algae problem. I used 2 BRS jumbo reactors one filled with GFO and the other Carbon and had a 75 gal sump with a 50 gal refugium. My theory is to grow algae in the fuge and starve the display and you can do that through algae scrubbers or mangroves and good fast growing macro algae in your sump.
Wow that is a lot of info haha good one but I'll just take little by little with hand haha it's a lot of stuff behind that tank, mine is just a basic tank 40 gallons with no fancy equipment
Also I been vinegar dosing and it works couldn't believe how it dropped my nitrates...and actually seemed like it made my corals happier..especially mushrooms and leathers.
Thanks for all of the helpful info from this Channel, between you guys and CJ's Aquarium I have gained a crazy amount of knowledge and have become obesessed with the hobby.
I get that when you add fish to eat the algae, nitrogen, and phosphate will be released by them, but when fish eats anything they will release the same thing. So adding fish to eat the algae is something like feeding them with normal food like pallets.
Going with a good frozen food does make a huge difference. Just remember that all frozen foods are not created equal. The best one I have found (which is used by public aquaria) is LRS Reef Frenzy and their other frozen foods. They are only sold via local shops, but well worth trying.
Great education! I had no idea about hydrogen peroxide, I may have to try that. I've had an algae issue in my tank for a while now, as soon as I knock it down its back within a week. I had my water professionally tested and nothing was horribly out of whack which is weird. I may try covering the tank for a couple of days, massive water changes and the peroxide cleaning of the rock.
In a new tank is it ok to just let these things pass their course and take over? Than introduce some good bacteria and a good cleanup crew as well as some tangs?
It's always easier to prevent the issue in the first place with good bacteria, copepods, cleanup crew, and tangs. Once the algae takes hold, it'll be harder to keep under control. Like they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
Just had a dino outbreak did a 4 day blackout and pit a uv sterilzer checked all my water parameters got them to the right levels now no problems with dino
So, I'm clicking subscribe on your channel not because of the topic of this video, as I just started my tank & I don't have a algae problem. Not because you have like almost 150k subscribers , so it should be a decent channel with more info. But, I'm hitting the subscribe button cause it truly SEEMS like you know WTF your talking about. While looking away from the screen & just listening you strike me as a saltwater version of Rick Moranis's character in Ghost Busters....and he too seemed like he knew wtf he was talking about. Thanks for the vid!
congratulations Ryan, there is nothing as beautiful as a newborn.
i like how Ryan speaks quickly meaning not slow and this makes it really fun in slo mo
Yes he could be a sports announcer.
The examples of Algae outbreaks shown makes me feel better about my tank
You are my first source that I check when I am having an issue or need just general information! Thank you!
Since I put the algae scrubber on my tank most of my algae problems in my display tank have gone. I also use a liquid phosphate remover and between the two I do not have a problem. Thanks for all the great videos. They have really helped me get back into the hobby after a long break and given me a lot of useful ideas and tips. Just hurry up and start suppling to the UK market!

One of the better videos, very complete. Welcome back Ryan and RT did a nice job, keep him engaged. Congrats on new baby!
Congratulations Ryan. The birth of your son on father's day is reeftastic
35 minutes? One heck of a "I'm back" video! Congrats on the baby!
Congratulations to you and your wife on your new baby. I have to say, this is one of the best advice episodes I've seen about algae. I'll be posting this video in my local reef forum.

I'm new to SW (I've got 7 FW tanks), this series is extremely helpful, thanks very much.. I'm watching each ep!
my 2nd one is due in 2 weeks. just got the tank upgrade done thanks to the 6 stage rodi I just got from u
One of the best videos I've ever seen. Thanks Ryan!
Congrats on your baby Ryan! Flynn is so cute !
I'm convinced that this man is a robot.

Agreed with the others, information over-load! Not complaining, just...wow!
Congratulation on your new family! This new adventure makes reefing look easy but with far greater results. Adult kids are a blast! I have three. :)
Glad you are back, Ryan. Congrats on the family! Glad you'll continue the FAQ series...R.T. Is really good.
Congratulations on your baby and welcome back
congrats on new baby!!! were expecting our first girl in feb!! after 4 boys my wifes ready for her girl!!

Josh Vela
It would be nice to see them do a sumpless nano also, using the products associated with keeping such a tank.
Welcome back Ryan and congrats on being a father.
Awesome video as always!!! And congratulations For the new baby !! He is going to be one expert little fela..
Great concise video about Algae control and current popular methods. 100% agree with bryopsis.. manual labor and get it out by hand ASAP.

22:27- That has got to be the most gorgeous display of sps I've ever seen!
1:31 so we just gonna ignore that?? That was so satisfying
this was an extremely well structed and in depth video! 2 thumbs up 👍👍
He is always precise and scientific with his wording, I laughed so hard when he said fish turds. Lmao
Great Series guys! I know its a little outside of your wheel house, but I'm wondering if you guys could do some video's on FOWLR tanks? I think it would be fun to start off with fish only and then add some easy care soft corals down the road. Also, how about an office tank tour!
Yay! Week 48! This episode looks great because I have a bit of an algae issue.
Thank you for the captioning. It is so VERY much appreciated for alot of reasons.💦💙
Wow..this was an excellent video very informative and helpful thank you so much...I just got my 75 gal reef back in good parameters im thinking bout adding an algea scrubber...thanks again for the info

He has one of our DROP.6 units. Only one LED but it gets lots of growth.

Congratulations Ryan, and good to see you back :)
awesome video. very thorough! congrats on your new baby! i have high nitrates. sugar dosing works awesome for me! i didn't want to dose everyday so i moved to a reef octopus bio pellet reactor. it's been about 6 weeks. hoping it works well. also just started a refugium for the 125 gallon tang stocked tank. thanks!
Sugar dosing, how long u can clear ur cloudy water after dosing vsv? Or u just drip it?
Congrats again.
I run a Calcium reactor and I had a theory on further scrubbing Co2. I run the effluent into a small refugium in my sump. I figured the algae would feed the excess. Honestly I don't think it's really doing anything but if others are interested in would like to hear if anyone else has noticed a difference.
RT did an awesome job. . Very responsive. .
I'm seeing a lot of people on UA-cam with success with algae scrubbers. I'm thinking about giving it a try!
exactly the info I needed, thanks wayne!
I had a huge algae problem for the longest time. I was doing everything "right". I was doing 25-50% water changes weekly and tried biweekly. My problem would just not go away.

Jake Carpenter 😑
Nope.
The water doesn't cycle, the surface area in the tank does. The only way this works is if your water has chlorine in it.
Informative and Very Comprehensive as always... appreciate BRStv covering this topic! ... A combination of consistent water changes, carbon, phosphate removing media and Red Sea Reef Care Program has helped my mixed reef tank control algae.
Too much information and besides im very drunk so i will to watch this video again
Congrats on your new son! and wow lots of hair haha
😂
same
pepenaker hi
Lmao, thought same thing!!
Welcome back, and congratulations to you and the Mrs on the new son! :)

I live BRS, thank you for all the video's and great products.
Thank you for going into the Rock issue. I never believed that rock could chemically bind nutrients. At most it could be detritus in the rock.
Congrats on your baby Ryan! and Big Welcome :)
congratulation! wish you all the best in the new chapter of your life
I had a 300 gal system and I never had much of an algae problem. I used 2 BRS jumbo reactors one filled with GFO and the other Carbon and had a 75 gal sump with a 50 gal refugium. My theory is to grow algae in the fuge and starve the display and you can do that through algae scrubbers or mangroves and good fast growing macro algae in your sump.

Wow that is a lot of info haha good one but I'll just take little by little with hand haha it's a lot of stuff behind that tank, mine is just a basic tank 40 gallons with no fancy equipment
Also I been vinegar dosing and it works couldn't believe how it dropped my nitrates...and actually seemed like it made my corals happier..especially mushrooms and leathers.
Distilled white? Also about how much per gallon
Thanks for all of the helpful info from this Channel, between you guys and CJ's Aquarium I have gained a crazy amount of knowledge and have become obesessed with the hobby.
Woohoo Ryan is back congrats

This video is all time epic! I’m getting inspired, big thanks
always lots of solid info in your videos, great job.
Congrats on the little guy. Good name
Welcome back and congrats on the new kid
WoW! Talk about drinking from a fire hose! I'm new to the hobby and this is a lot to absorb and frighting at times, but very informative.
I agree so much with this and I do use the media for removing ammonia because I have found that algae thrives off of it...
welcome back and congrats on the little one
Great video..I’ve watched this at least 5 times in the past two years
Going with a good frozen food does make a huge difference. Just remember that all frozen foods are not created equal. The best one I have found (which is used by public aquaria) is LRS Reef Frenzy and their other frozen foods. They are only sold via local shops, but well worth trying.
If I ever use a $300 fixture on anything other than the display part of the tank, I will admit that I'm ate up with this stuff.
Great education! I had no idea about hydrogen peroxide, I may have to try that. I've had an algae issue in my tank for a while now, as soon as I knock it down its back within a week. I had my water professionally tested and nothing was horribly out of whack which is weird. I may try covering the tank for a couple of days, massive water changes and the peroxide cleaning of the rock.
In a new tank is it ok to just let these things pass their course and take over? Than introduce some good bacteria and a good cleanup crew as well as some tangs?
It's always easier to prevent the issue in the first place with good bacteria, copepods, cleanup crew, and tangs. Once the algae takes hold, it'll be harder to keep under control. Like they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
@@BRStv Ok that’s good advice!
Zink? I thought it was Zinc. You made a great point about a single florescent bulb on a refugium trying to out compete the lights on the display.
Hi Ryan happy Father's Day and happy birthday to your son
Ok thanks
What I would do to have your knowledge. You got it all down pat!! ,Thanks for a great video.
Think I will watch it abouf 20 more times to get it all!!
Welcome back Ryan!
wow info overload.!!!!! love it
HE'S BACK!!! THANK THE LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant video cheers geez 👌🏽
Happy birthday Flynn!! Happy fathers day Ryan
Just had a dino outbreak did a 4 day blackout and pit a uv sterilzer checked all my water parameters got them to the right levels now no problems with dino
This has a wonderful amount of info thank you so much for this video!!
Ro/Di water is good for more than just mixing salt water. It's great for first aid and diluting concentrated automotive anti-freeze.
So, I'm clicking subscribe on your channel not because of the topic of this video, as I just started my tank & I don't have a algae problem. Not because you have like almost 150k subscribers , so it should be a decent channel with more info. But, I'm hitting the subscribe button cause it truly SEEMS like you know WTF your talking about.

Thanks for the vid!
congratulations Ryan!! and welcome back :)
Fluconazole destroys bryopsis. It worked wonders on my tank that had struggled with it for 6 months.
it's a fungicide
Congrats Ryan. Great video.
from what i learned , all plants and algae will readily take ammonia over nitrate when available .
