Your 5 min series is easily THE most helpful reefing video series on the net!!! There just isn’t enough one can say to thank you. So I’ll simply say thank you!!
Wow, thanks!
I would like to see more videos on all 4 of the dips u have talked about. Very good content. Thanks BRS
Ryan thank you for making your channel, I am new and learning so much every step 😁
I love these videos. For this one though, I would've really liked to have seen you put them in. I will Google it of course but I don't really understand how you start them in the tank physically, and how later on you can remove them to dip them if needed, if they grow all over some of the aquascape that you glued together or whatever.
🍾 we got corals!!🥳
I live on this channel, I feel like anyone could Master reefing very fast by studying all the BRS Videos and mix it up with other reefing and aquarium channels.
hi i have no corraline algae yet in my rocks so i can't add corals if theres no algae my tank is 4 months already.
Hi, do we need to quarantine corals and inverts before putting in display tank?
It is a good idea to QT these for observation. Coral skeletons could also carry Tomont's so ideally you would want to QT them without fish for 76 days to ensure you don't transfer anything.
Which do you feel is better for creating better visual quicker on a budget adding multiple cheaper frags at a time or adding larger colonies 1 or 2 at a time?
Great video! I am really enjoying the 5 min. series. I have a small rock with about 4 orange spot zoas on it. Is it safe to put the whole rock into some Hydrogen peroxide to get rid of the algae that is on it? If so, how long should I dip it for?
Dipping entire rocks in peroxide isn't the best way to go. If you remove the rock, you may be able to use some peroxide in a spray bottle to target the specific area you're trying to treat.
@ 2:04 does anyone know what kind of bubble coral that is??
I was just wondering why one of my tanks took a year to get coraline alge ?
Any suggestions please.
Thx
1:10 - Ryan dunks on Reef Central!
Still lots of helpful people over at ReefCentral. We just find the community at Reef2Reef to be the most active 🙂
I wish I could tour multiple lfs’s I only have one that sells coral
Definitely some great online retailers out there like World Wide Corals and Top Shelf Aquatics if you're not happy with your local options. Granted, it is nice to be able to physically walk into a store and see the corals before buying.
That sucks I live in so cal there are hundreds of stores within 100 miles
Find a reef friend and drive to farther stores, you walk away with twice the coral between you and frags an an inevitability. The internet is the future, let's enjoy and support brick and mortar while it's here
I have had grey-green corraline algae growing a 5 months now . Is that a sign that my tank is ready for corals ?
I do have red rocks and some snails and hermit crabs with red corraline on them ...
Growing coralline algae is a great sign that your tank is ready for corals as corals and coralline both thrive in similar environments. Before you buy your first coral, be sure to check your tank's alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium levels just to make sure they all look good.
Hey, I got a problem with my lps corals lately. They all loose their heads after some time, which is pretty annoying. Head floats around some time and disappears then. I dont really know what to do, so if someone hat similar struggles please let me know what helped.
What type of tank is the aquarium of the right? (How many gallons and what brand)
That tank is a Red Sea E-170. It's a 45 gallon. You can learn more at the link below 🙂

Can I also use all dips Successively?
We would dip for pests, and parasites when getting new coral. Additional dips can be used if you notice specific issues with the coral that you need to help with. We would not use these all at once though.
Why does my coralline algae also grow on the sand ? Is that normal? Do you routinely have to clean your sand of coralline algae ?
That is a little unusual. In most cases, there is enough sand movement to prevent much coralline from taking a foothold in the sand bed. It's not a bad idea to siphon your sand bed during water changes, so that might kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.
Is reefapalooza still happening next month in California or did they cancel it?
Unfortunately that event was canceled for 2020
my red banded shrimp is on charge of pest and roaches
Tried to hit the bell notification; however, it won't let me because it's set for kids only content. I hope this doesn't hurt my chances of winning the Hanna
My dinos is jist everything die in my tank even with carbon. I didnt know having a reef tank was so damn difficult.
Lmao
No RAP at Chicago anymore :(
Watching this series, since I've been out of the hobby for 10 years, catching up on some of the newer practices and equipment (LED's)... One of the reasons my departure was longer than intended is the quality of lfs... I suppose when I started 20 years ago I was spoiled with two amazing stores that just never let me down. Unfortunately neither is open anymore and I'm now several hours from where I was. Stores here are filled with red slime apstasia, 6 leg stars, flat worms.... Just completely infested, it's bad... Really really bad. One even offers tank services to local stores and I just die inside every time I see them... Like how he's not embarrassed by them is completely beyond me. Unfortunately he gets some really amazing corals, then dumps them in these tanks, I've watched several awesome corals wither and die.... I'm thinking of once I get back to the coral stage, of setting up a coral hospital tank. Bare bottom hob filtration (easy to pull out and clean). I don't want to support a bad store, but there's really no choice if I want someplace local for an "it's all going wrong" emergency. Any advice on a coral specific QT tank? Any time frames or tips other than dip and acclimation like you just mentioned? Thanks again for your awesome series and informative videos.
Coral QT tanks don't have to be super complex, you just need to be able to provide the basic necessities during the QT period like light, flow, nutrient export, salinity/temperature, and maintaining major elements like calcium and alkalinity.
Cool video....as per your recommendation, I went over to Route 66.com and you have to sign up and give them all ur info JUST to look at their stock.....F that.....
Is the Facebook group still up? I can’t find it.
Yep! We had a name change a few weeks back. You can find the Facebook group at the link below 🙂

3:45 wth are those? is it likely that if I don't dip, things like this will end up in my tank?
Those are bristle worms. Relatively common in the saltwater hobby. Dipping will help reduce the chances of introducing them to your tank, but if they are, it's not the end of the world. While they're not particularly attractive, they're good clean up crew members. Just avoid touching them with your bare hands.
When can i add anemone
and the thumbnail = you need a big money stack for "simple" lps xD...
Damn so many plugs ...hehe pun intended
This video is just full on pr, came to see what corals would pop in a reef tank and didn’t see any of it.
i live in Hawaii and its totally illegal to own hard corals, soft corals are a grey area and only allowed if they're from local waters and taken with a permit that has not been available to get or renew since pre-covid. We only have around 3 aquarium stores that have salt water species and I have not gone to look yet but honestly expecting no soft corals.
Facebook but be careful, live Hawaii too lol
Warning to all stay away from GSP and Blue Clove Polyps!
Da Jo GSP can spread and take over, but as long as you keep it confined to one rock it shouldn’t be able to.
Gsp can be isolated but xenia can spread between rocks and self frag
Didn’t talk much about the corals lolz
