Loving the production quality of these vids. IMHO, you are one of the up and coming content producers on UA-cam for reef aquaria. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
This video is amazing man. 18:46 min of pure talent.
Thank you!
Facing some tough days ahead and watching your content takes me to a different place - really cool keep up the fantastic content 👍
Thank you, hope for the best!
without doubt the best and most entertaining, IMO, reef content videos on UA-cam, love the homage to silent movies!
Thank you :)
Ultra red slime remover. Works great. Reef safe. Some toadstools don’t like it but they come back to normal in a few days to a week.
Best video you ever made IMO. Love it!
Thank you!
One thing id be careful with is nopox. its meant for a system with skimmer and the idea is to feed bacteria that will consume it along with no3 and po4 and then you skim them off with the skimmer set on vet skimming. thats how it is supposed to work but i can see it used to just keep a healthy population of bacterias but in my experience cyano love nopox :D
This is like watching a movie. Great job
thank you!
the give u up part made me dance lol
😆
Congratulation for the contest.
Really amazing video, it's a aquarium,
you show it dramatically like a real movie.
Thank you for your work. It is a lot of work to
finish such a video. Clear, clean...
Thank you for this comments!
@@AquaSplendor Please, don't stop to make big cinema.
@@karlcoyote6882 Oh I'm not, it just takes time hehe
You said you want to find a natural solution and proceeded to open a few bottles :-D
Bottles contain natural stuff found in nature,... with the exception of the nopox.
vibrant/red slime removal are created to kill.
I set up my Chaeto like yours and I’ve had a lot is success with running when the display lights off. In small tanks the pH swing is more noticeable and the chaeto seems to grow faster at night
Yup, a good idea for keeping the ph stable.
For some reason in 2 of my aquarium, the ph doesn't change much, really weird. Big 8.0, but maybe my salifert test kit is not precise enough
loool legit at the never give up part I was thinking what a good opportunity that would be..
#Sorry :P
@@AquaSplendor rickrolls are my thing
Keep some space for refugium lamp to cool ) Nice video!
We miss your videos. Hope you are doing good
Will do an announcement shortly!
How did it turn out?
sorry the video could’ve been trimmed down a bit and some of the products you used counteract each other. i am currently dealing with cyanobacteria in an explosion as i write this, but my approach will be somewhat the same & different than yours. how is this tank doing now? please be honest
"Please be honest"
I don't know how to not be lol.
Tank is doing great, run on it's own, I don't do too much, leave it alone.
But you are probably right on some aspects of my video that can be counteracted/get worst/get better.
Honestly, the best thing is simply to siphon the patch for a while until it stops, nature finds a way to get balanced :)
I'm having the worst cyano outbreak. Water changes every couple of days siphoning and blowing the rocks carbon and refugium. Changing filter pads each water change. Nitrates and phosphates undetectable and I still can't get rid of it. Chemi clean didnt wipe it out. When as far as some hydrogen peroxide for a day or two but that pissed off my corals and I stopped immediately. I feed every other day. No idea how to get rid of it. I'm at my whit's end haha. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi, idk if your situation is now resolve but generally speaking once you maintain properly your tank and feed correctly the system takecare of itself, often organisms balance out. (other than what I show in the video)
Nicely done..subscribed 👍
I Love your Videos ! greets from German
Danke :)
Don’t feel bad about losing fish with the nopox I’ve lost several fish while using it, I found it’s best to dose in fractions. So if you are dosing 2 ml a day. Dose about .25 ml 4 times a day and that greatly helps with making sure there is enough oxygen in your tank.
Good suggestion!
@@AquaSplendor thank you! And best of luck with the cyano.
Just wanna know if (are you from any studio in Hollywood?) men I love your productions,themes and musics.😭😭😭😭
Niet, thank you :)
I always get a bout of Cyano when I lose a coral. I feel the two are severly linked.
do u think copepods and amphipods help prevent or kill cyano bacteria?
Good question, I would assume if there's a lack of food it's possible, but I don't know, never paid attention to this
I’m fairly confident that you shouldn’t use NoPox if you don’t have a skimmer. It’s carbon dosing which increases bacterial load and lowers oxygen level. The skimmer than removes bacteria.
The amount I added doesn't cause any issue, water change does the job.
Very enjoyable video, excellent quality! Subbed of course :)
Just a question from someone who is about to get started in the hobby: I noticed the Chaeto is in the same compartiment as the heater, won't the heater burn the Chaeto when turned on? Thanks!
Nop, all good
Well made, clean and simple vids hands down for that.
u say that u go the natual way to fight problems, love that.
but then u start dumping alot of stuff in the tank to fix it :(
After i stated dosing phytomaxx, my cyano is receding fast (maybe im just lucky)
but next time u are battling cyano try it out :)
Well, you dumped stuff as well ;)
@@AquaSplendor cant argue with that. :)
Awesome video
Thank you!
Excellent video though
New intro 👌🏻😁
🤡
Nice video, when dosing nopox you need a skimmer.
I do water change each week
Your videos are awesome 😍.
Thank you!
Great video! I’m wondering where you got that all metal scraper that you use on the glass. I would like to get one too. All the ones I can find are plastic though. Any chance you can post a link?
No idea where I got it honestly, can't remember :(
Maybe to late, but you can buy them for cheap from aliexpress.
I love this series! I remember you fed some live worms in the past, I don’t remember which episode though. What were the worms called? They were small and white. And how’d you get them? I want to try and feed my dragonet some live worms. Thanks
Enchytraeus Albidus
You gotta find from someone who has it
@@AquaSplendor ok, thanks!
Estou me divertindo muito com a abertura 😜! Hahaha hahahahah kkkkkkkkk
Where did you get that small sand vac? It really picks up the cyano! Nice for small tanks. I have a rather large python tube but I find it doesn't pick up anything. The best it does is suck up my sand.😫
It's just a tube, nothing special, with time when Cyano get compact it's easier to "vaccuum"
C’est très intéressant!! J’essai de dealer avec des algues inconnu à mes yeux puisque je suis nouveau dans le hobby 😅
Tout le monde a des algue a un certain moment, c'est normal :)
Besoin de compétition! Mon secret est avec les macro algues.
Sicce Which one ?
On top of my head, I can't remember,. it should be in the description of the video
Do you use some form of polarizing lens with your 90 mm macro? Have you made a video on how to make your videos? That would be awesome!
I rarely use it, to be honest, one day I will make a video about this :)
You really rick rolled us all 🤣🤣
lol
Maybe top off with kalk .looks like your flow is fine. Water change weekLy
I plan to use kalkwasser a certain point, but need to play with it first on other aquarium
@@AquaSplendor idk bout that that just wasting time lol. Kalk will help u you dont need to struggle but all those chemicals just saying look at the og reefers bro
@@reeftheseaforever I have a love-hate relation with kalkwasser, its personal ;)
@@AquaSplendor I know what u mean u gotta get a versa pump and use it as a top off no ato and kalk not a good idea
@@reeftheseaforever It's exactly what I'm doing ;)
Does this happen in the real world or just in tanks
It does, usually you can find it in shallow place where it's calm and there's debris/organic accumulation, fresh and salt water
@@AquaSplendor thanks!
Where can I get that algae scraper ?
No idea, don't even remember where I got it from
Fighting conches and some hermits and nerite and cerith snails eat it.
Good point, I never seen doing it but heard about it
Pretty sure your not supposed to carbon dose without a skimmer running...
There's a thing call water change, pretty good technique 😋
@@AquaSplendor wow genius! 🙄
Wish you were talking so I could listen while not able to watch
Will do the next series that way! (eventually)
your nutrients are too low. cyano outcompetes other types of bacteria in ULN systems. you're going the exact opposite route. better to wipe it out with chemiclean, then increase nutrients so you're not fighting this forever.
Wait you have dinos too?
If that gets overwhelming it will get his own video :P
But for now, it's all gone.
@@AquaSplendor Yeah I dosed Reef Flux to finally end a battle with bryopsis and had a Dino outbreak- basically dosing silicates, phytoplankton, and MB7 as well as nitrates and feeding more and skimming less.
i though nopox needs a skimmer?
I do a water change every week, in my frag tank I don't use it because of that, I only do water change every month or so.
@@AquaSplendor I do t think that’s the same 😂
Dude... 1700ppm is not healthy for you, much less your tank! Hopefully you get that sorted out.
Lol, can be 3000 in bathroom.
But all this is often temporary.
open window, drop fast.
And for some really weird reason that I can't explain the ph of my aquarium where there's mostly CO2, doesn't drop and it's very very stable at 8.05 ishh
Scold the cyano, tell it go away, maybe it'll listen.
They love the candy I offer to other kids, unfortunately, :P but it's clean now, sort of.
Your video material seems to be out of date. ;-)
They evolve so quick
