been using the Eheim for years. have one for each of the 3 tanks. Try a piece of tape to make the opening more of a square than a rectangle. I find a more consistent dose. Love the videos.
man this is crazy, all the host sound the same
Yup I agree
Sooo true
Only in the sense that they dictate the same way/same pace. There's clearly a script/style. But their voices are all distinct. Lol. I have 0 issue telling them apart and I don't watch the videos I just listen with my headphones in while working.
Great video, I like the cheap Eheim. Been working for years! Good job BRS
mine too Mang. great unit
Just got mine from brs and absolutely love it
Great video RT. i love my feeder but the summer months do increase the humidity and condensation on the feeder. Can you do a video on fans and venting options since it's like a million degrees here in NY.. lol
BRS cadence makes me buy things.
Both are good hosts bro..dont hate.
As usual great clip guys :P
I'm close to upgrading to a 224gl from my 93gl cube,
I noticed that you never did a tutorial on how to transfer tanks the right way.
The net doesn't offer much info on it either, Be real cool to see it done the BRS way.
thanks.
Could you post a video talking about what the best amount of fish and inverts are for different sizes of tanks? I think a lot of new reefers would like this. Thanks in advance👌🏻👌🏻
quick question... is there a feeder that would work with a tank having a glasstop canopy? I have a rimless tank that has the canopy and only has a diagonal cutout at the front corner of the canopy so that it can be removed off the tank. Was hoping to find something that would spill into that corner.
I love you guys. Great info and awesome channel that adds tons of value and convience to this hobby. My only request is that you guys please add some downward tonation to your vocabulary. Everything you say sounds like a question!!
Sorry, I hope that doesn't sound like personal cheap shot, love you guys. Great channel and fantastic info! A little downward inflection really adds a ton of punch to the delivery from the communication aspect. You guys KNOW what you're talking about! It just doesn't SOUND like it sometimes.
I never feed my fish with one type of food. One day it's frozen, the next it's pellets, the next it's a combo of both followed by mixing frozen with reef chilli and so forth. I'll worry about vacation when I get there.
Do you need a protein skimmer for a 20 g nano
I got Neptune feeder but never use it I love to feed my fish by hand only use it if I go vacation 1 time a year or not home
anyone have an opinion on the Hydra filters for removal of nitrate and phosphate (and other stuff)
All you guys sound the same and I love your vids
nice
Hey guys how do you guys keep 2 purple tangs together has there been any aggression?
Hey BRS, I wanted to get a 90 gallon saltwater tank, any suggestions for fish or corals?
I like R.T. He doesn't have a lisp. But they're both great hosts.
Oh, oh... Ryan's "favorite" feeder isn't in your list!
The Neptune AFS.
Never put much thought into feeders, bc I can't get my fish on pellets. How do y'all get your fish to go from frozen to pellets?
Makes sense. Ill try that along with Selcom!
I like Eheim
Will the new AI Prime HQ's pair with the older AI Prime model?
If you could speak a bit slower it would come out clearer.👌☮️
It's frozen when I'm home and pellets when I'm not!!
Could you please do one on DinoFagellates and how to rid them!? >.<
Im running the Brs mini with the gfo carbon mix which helps a lot! My phosphates are
have you tried a blackout?
ive tried the blackout, ad been gravel vacuuming, since its a 20long ive been mainly using my live rock and run the aquabuddy with gfo and carbon, and run UV at night after I clean in case i dug up stuff! what filtration would be recommended in a 20 gallon long?
+Narae Kim what steps did you take to do your blackout? Specifically how long did you do it, and what you used to cover the tank.
3 days turned lights off black sheet after i did a WC and left everything on! except lights i might get a stronger power head too and see if it helps keep things from settling.
I have 2 koralia nanos 250 gph each maybe its not enough?
How do you feed if you have a lid? Serious question
Most foods will fall right through screen top lids, but if you have a glass or acrylic lid, you'll have to either cut a section away to allow the food to fall in.
Could you feed mysis every week as a treat?
Ear is here brine is more of a treat. mysis can be a everyday meal
What is the recommended reef tank size of a beginner?
Whatever your budget can handle. Saltwater requires an ongoing fiscal commitment. If you cant budget for water. chemicals, food, livestock, lighting changes, and any upgrades that come on the market then dont even bother starting. It's an expensive hobby and a never ending fiscal commitment...
Many people will tell you to go as big as you can and I thoroughly agree. When I got my first 75 gallon reef tank setup, I ignored that advice thinking 75 gallon was huge enough but once I started putting coral and fish inside of it, I quickly ran out of room. I couldn't keep some of the nice and more exotic fish due to the tank size and placing my coral in the tank was like playing Tetris. I almost immediately regretted not going with a big tank. To compensate, I began setting up other tanks around my house. Keep in mind though, this is a very, very expensive hobby as mentioned above. It is hard to conceptualize just how expensive it can be until you get that tank up and running and start to buy items for it. I don't think a day has gone by for months where UI haven't purchased something related to my reef tank. Expect to spend about $3,000 just to start up. It then gets crazy. Race Car driving or aircraft piloting may be cheaper.
I feed my tank with Hikari S and my clowns turn from bright orange to brown...why?
+BulkReefSupplyCom 1 was waild cought percula and it was sweet bright orange, frozen brine shrimp plus Hikari S that was all the food. i will never buy Hikari again!
+BulkReefSupplyCom it was a new adition and only at that moment i realize how brown my clawnfish was....and after 1 mounth the new adition lost his bright orange and become brownish...the Hikari S was bronish to green and i think that was the problem. Did u ever feed with Hikari u clownfishes?
Ryan, slow down, breathe!
Sad ),)
ON next videos, please speak slow!
