I have a 65 gallon reef tank and I try to keep up with my maintenance. It’s helped me a lot. I’ve just reset my raidions to the ab + Corel lab setting I had them on a manual setting (2xr 15 pro). This was very helpful thank you all.
I'm super lucky. I live in Bali, Indonesia and I do all my water changes with ocean water. I also can get new corals and fish from tide pools and snorkeling any time I want.
@@dshe8637 why wouldn't I? All the corals in all the aquariums in the world come from the ocean origonally. Along with like 90% of the fish. Keep your self righteous comments to yourself.
I think this video can be really summed up with. "Stability over Performance" which is the point this guy was trying to make. I know a few reef keepers are going to be livid with this, but I need to ask Who cares if you don't have the hyper sharp LED green coral that glows like the sun? As long as the ecosystem is stable, they're well fed, and have a constant cycle the corals will get there in their own time, there's no reason to 'force' them to get there ahead of schedule. When I was buying coral, I overheard some guys talking about the numbers for water quality, length of lights, to get the best looking coral, and fighting massive bacteria outbreaks every month or so. While I'm sitting here, happy that in my two year old tank I've had two bacteria issues that happened in the first couple months. People are so preoccupied with making it look pretty, and don't take into consideration the animals overall health. Just like humans thrive on patterns, Corals do too.
I can confirm the circadian rythm thing. I don't know why else the pH in ma tank peaks 30-90 minutes before the the light goes out. So pH is already dropping although light is still at full power. I can't explain it in any other way than circadian rythm.
I used GFO and 48 hours later I had a dino outbreak on my sand bed. 6 months later I'm slowly beating it back. The lesson I learned is that too clean is not a good thing for my tank....
I guess not all ;reef tanks include corals course ; so you can have a very low light 'reef' tank . just not a coral reef tank. as for some coral, such as across, many iwant more than those par numbers ;)
@@cameronrivera3588 I wasn't asking for an explanation for why they are doing it. most people's tap water in the US contains chlorine and floride, wouldn't you be putting those back into the tank after rinsing it with tap water?

Excellent video. And here I was thinking Ryan was going jump out and say “HEY GUYS AND WELCOME TO MDtv!”
This is honestly one of the most informative videos I have seen and can learn something new every time I watch it. Great job guys!!!!!!
I was thinking the exact same thing. Excellent video, and it is in my save list now
all 15 mins of it?
This video deserved to be watched 5 times
Out of all the videos I’ve watched this one exactly what I’ve been searching for and a load of useful information!!!!
This is the best, most all inclusive need to know video about reef tanks. Best I’ve ever seen!
This video is superb.
Well researched and supported information, and explained in everyday language.
Well done
Very succinct . If people would start with this knowledge , success rates would be awesome
Miss Marine Depot, was surprised to see this video. Very informative!
Thank you so much for your best shots !

Hook me up I live in Miami Florida 😆😆😆
Harvesting wild corals isn't a good idea. Why would you need to keep doing it anyway?

@@me2525 It's good practice to use captive bred stock instead of wild, especially since many corals are threatened in their natural habitats
Send me some corals
Very informative video. Thank you so much for all of the advice.
Going out with a bang. Great video
Thanks for sharing fantastic video and saltwater aquarium and corrals too sir....
Great video its really helpful for aquarium ecosystem
Thanks a lot 😊
Awesome video!

this is not just a hobby this is the knowledge we need to keep reefs from dying from this world
Great video ! Many thanks. How many litres for the tank?
Great video good work
This is a great video I like it
First class information
Great video. Thank you very much!
Awesome video guys. Can you link some of the journal research you referred to I the video? Thanks in advance
Nice Aiptasia @9:35
Your first 30 seconds was spot on for me smh thanks watching this 2xs lol
You make me want to become a marine biologist
😎💯👍🏾🔥…great information
Wow, amazing video. :)
Excellent advice/content. Thanks ☹
Very informative video thank you
Of course! Glad to inform.

Technology has also brought a pestilence call “Dinos" which is worse that other types of algaes IMO

@@georgeallred4617 yeah, technology brought pristine clean water that seem reef aquariums don’t really like too much

I see many UA-cam videos of people buying and unboxing lots of new corals, but not so many of tanks with corals growing and reproducing.
So true
That is a good idea for the seneye meter holder, thank you. So this your last video?
How about calcium, Magnesium and etc?
rinse the filter stock under tap water???
kills the bacteria, some people washes there’s with clorox

What about keeping your aquarium too clean.
How about UV light?..
So sad for you 😞 Get them to collect and get a full refund! Looks beautiful from a distance- what are the dimensions of the tank?
😳😊😘
As a happy customer, I'm sorry to see MD bite the dust.
Wyy umol??? u talking about par!
Rocket science is easier.
Some good 💩
just don't have corals that need to be feed lol
