I've been studying the effects of CBD-A on coral that have brown jelly. Also corals that can Rtn or STN and studying how it will help boost there immune system
Brown jelly=instant panic attack 💀 Only thing more hellish is those black acro-eating flatworms big yikes. Shameless plug, but you can always check out my vid on sexy coral placement using coloration+contrast for that euphyillia rock, cause you know...I make the best tank design vids ever yadda yadda etc.
It's awesome. I have seen anemones and macroalgae attach their selfs to crabs and snail but not coral that awesome. Shame she will lose them when she peels.
Yeah I have 32 gallon long tank, and it’s a mixed reef and getting the flow right for corals is a pain. I pretty much have no dead spots (which I guess is good) but corals such as my mushrooms and Xenia are very picky with too much flow
Man, I hate brown jelly disease. Just had my first frogspawn in new tank. And it died after 2 week from brown jelly. I hate it. Because I can't do anything much about it.
The tank is looking great! I recently had an issue with my Euphyllia not opening and in my case this was down to my Nitrates bottoming out following a 20% water change and a big clean of my sump - I always struggled to keep my Nitrates at 2ppm even with dosing Nitrogen. I dosed some more nitrogen and turned my Skimmer down (it is oversized for my tank) and now I can keep my Nitrates stable at 4ppm and my euphyllia are back to their best! It did take them a week to recover though - which is a good lesson for new reefers because my Nitrates were only down at 0 for 2 days but it took in total 10 days at 4ppm for them to recover so patience is definitely important.
10:20 you need to out that mp10 on the side wall on lower sidr and let it run slow. Not from back to front. This was it will help move water nutrients more and don't let detritus settle.. Also most of the nutrients and things settle on the back side of tank. You need to have a mp10 running from side panel and best to keep it lowest so it's not throwing sand just the water column moves. That's how it will also help circulation of tank. 🔄 Flow usually is good for coralw but softies cannot handle huge flow it breaks the coral extensions.. A giro could solve it but I think mp 40 and a mp 10 on other side of tank would solve the problem.
Thanks buddy, yeah I am thinking of adding a MP10, although I was thinking back to front. I will try it on the side too! I was considering a Gyre but with my eurobrace + meshtop, it'd be a little messy trying to thread a pump cable through. A MP10 may be my best bet...!
My friends brought me an emerald with a bunch of xenia on him, it was way cool! He was also covered in hair algae and used it as a food source. I put some palys in the tank and he put them on his back. They beat out the xenia so I now have a paly crab lol.
My favorite fish, pet, reef youtube channel!!!! Your humble and not know it all attitude in addition to your sharing of your learning experiences make you super relatable and entertaining !!!
Your tank is beautiful this is exactly the look I am going for in my tank, I can’t get anywhere close to this yet because I have been having problems, I finally broke down and bought a decent light “kessil Ap9x” and I already see my corals responding in a good way, I do have to say the China black boxes are coral killers
Do a gyre on both sides, intermittent, set lower, varied, irrreg flow euphyllias will respond better to that. Type on flow rather than level of flow, as long as not directly on coral.
I really don't think it's flow. I used to smash my hammers and torch's with as much flow as my sps. They were so healthy and encrusted all over the rock. Makes it super hard to remove hammers once they do that 😂 Have a look at some of the hammer farms in the ocean, they get extremely strong currents and they do amazingly. Strong flow = healthy tank
I'm going through similar problems with my hammer I think I'm going to move it into a lower flow area been thinking it could use less flow but it has never really extended like the ones in pictures mostly like a big fat Mat covering the top of the skeleton
I think I know which ones you're talking about, it's almost like a smaller sized shoe box? I remember seeing those a long time ago, these days I mostly see the big flat ones that only fit one chocolate vertically. Let me look, that's a good idea, thanks!
@@Fish_no_chips Ahh we get that here in the States. No problem with water getting in due to how shallow it is? I was thinking about the 16 count / 2 level ones www.amazon.co.uk/Ferrero-Rocher-42-Pieces-525g/dp/B004JKFIJ0?th=1
@@Fish_no_chips I use these boxes as well and had no issues. But you can go to any supermarket and look for other products with acrylic packagings that size your camera/phone.
The tank is looking amazing brother! It seems like just a week or two ago you where building the scape and just getting it wet. Getting so full and so beautiful I love it. I like a tank where you can sit in front if it for an hour or so and start looking on one side and slowly work your way across and see so much variety and every part is totality different.
They have been growing like that for a long time in the previous owner's tank though; although, water current and lighting has changed since their old tank, so things may be different now. I will keep an eye on the Acans and explore this if it is still not happy - thanks for the idea! 👍
Yesss! Xenia the warrior princess!! Perfect name. Loool

13:52 🤣 all the fish in the dinner line!
Interesting. Really thought mine needed more flow but seems it mighty be ok.
Never seen xenia’s growing on a crab, that’s so cool
Right? I am really curious how the crab kept the Xenia stalks on herself... (or if she really stood still for the corals to spread)
It's awesome. I have seen anemones and macroalgae attach their selfs to crabs and snail but not coral that awesome. Shame she will lose them when she peels.

Thanks for your kind words Thomas, and especially your time for watching the videos! 🙏
Are you planning on getting a new Frog Fish? They are amazing!!
Maybeee a Commerson in the future if I get a specie-only tank going??
Xenia the warrior princess and Hercules the tv show were hardcore.
Yes! The good 'ol 90s!
I made my own viewer.. I took a hard Plastic food dish, and cut the bottom off.. I cut out a square piece of acrylic hot glue together.. Works perfect
Those plastic critters keeper would be great for top down viewing, the high walls would help prevent splash damage
I’ve also noticed when they are in the process of splitting they sorta close up and don’t extend as much
Interesting. Maybe thats why my torch isnt opening up mu h
I just bought a fluval evo 13.5 I cant stop buying reef supplies lol ima go bankrupt. My wife is on the verge of killing me.
I use a cake dome that comes on grocery store bought cakes as look downs.
Keep removing those asterina stars.. they multiply SUPER fast and irritate the base of some coral
Idk if u noticed, but there was a Xenia growing on the leather frag you added to your 135....
Yep I saw that one stalk.... probably should pluck it at some point before it hops off and fight with the invasive GSP 😂

MP10 won't stay on your glass. I think your 3/4 inch. Glad the lighting worked out.
Love the videos.
Love ur style lairdddddd. Top one mr inappropriate 👊👌 uphillia are my favourite, as well as the acan lord 😂
It’s distributing how u don’t contain your GSP lol.
Nice 😁🤘
A plastic top from a food container fits great for top down shots 🙂
I have 2 x large hermit crabs , and I caught one of them eating my frogspawn. They both live in the sump now.
Oops sry I’m late 😅great vid as always! No little hand tho 🥲

great job,as always.mwasured advice and good basic methods pushed forward.I like the fact there is no fake sensationalism . Stay well, Doc BC
Long live Xena Warrior Princess 👸 😂
Time for a Bloche Anthias. I had one and it's by far one of the most interesting and hardy fish u could get.
Ayyyyye man. Glad to see ya this week. Appreciate your upload schedule, have a good week man.
Put an Aussie duncan in there. :-)
how do you get your xenia to pulse
Talk about the moon shine please lol
I have the same blue bucket from HMart 😂
Glad separating the radions worked for ya

Strong flow = healthy tank
You can build your own coral viewer for pretty cheap, just use acrylic or glass and silicone a wide diameter pvc pipe.
Makes no sense how all the reefers buy expensive lights and then use them at low intensity
i love this tank , makes me want to upgrade from my nano every time i watch your videos .
You are not really old, just older like me. I laughed when you mentioned Xena the Warrior Princess
Yes i remember that show and that means we are both pretty old :'D

Old? Wth..
I remember that, hercules and Stargate being the jam. Now it's invincible and the boys.
