Came for the tanks, applause for the paintings 🙏🏿
Thanks! 😊
Follow what makes you happy Tom. Those paints are amazing
@@Bruno_Amaro thanks Bruno! I may drop a vlog type video once per month. Just to update things 😊👍🏻
Those paintings are amazing 😍
TomReefer,
Your channel was a major influence that got me to start my first reef tank. I was able to reference some of your older videos for tank problems along the way. As you said: it’s all there. Thank you for sharing your expertise over the years. Your paintings look phenomenal and I hope you have success and happiness with all of that.
Thanks! I may put one up every so often 😊
Tom!! I was getting worried about you. Glad to see you back. I know real life gets in the way. Wow Tom those pictures are crazy! Beautiful work!
Yea, I just don’t have time for long form. Thanks!
It was good to hear from you Tom your the best! Whatever makes you happy buddy we appreciate you for you!😊
Going to miss you. You one of the only people. Not trying to seal us something. 😢
Well, I’m not gone gone Chris. I just need some time away from it.. it’s a lot of work for $100. Give me a couple hundred and I’ll keep doing it.😁
@@TOMReefer I hear you. I don't think I could do it.
😂 if I do a real Vlog style like this one I might be able to pull off one or two a month. I just can’t get into a lot of heavy editing and adding music and all that stuff. It’s hours of time Chris
😂joking
Great seeing you Tom your videos are always inspiring and informative as always look forward to seeing you again in the future go and enjoy your Art work take care
Goodluck in all you do Tom, we will all miss you. Don't give up on the tanks though. Cheers buddy ❤
You know what’s weird? With stuff going on in my own life, I missed this video until today. I’m glad to know that you are well, and that you are doing art that speaks to your soul. 🎉 Consider throwing us a taste of that again, won’t you, every now and then? All the best, Tom, and happy holidays to you and yours, no matter what! ❤
Thanks Chris! You as well!
Congratulations, beautiful paintings
Thanks Pedro
I’ll miss the videos Tom, I’m having a bit of a slump in my tanks too and it can really take the stoke out of the hobby. Once your tanks bounce back I’m sure you will get excited about them again. Sometimes it helps to simplify down to a single tank, I’ve burnt myself out with too many tanks in the past. The 10 gallon looks awesome and Your art is fantastic too!
Thanks gnarly! I agree with you. Thanks for your comment!
I am absolutely loving your artwork, you have an amazing talent! we all have times when the reefing passion isn't as strong, I'm sure it will return.
Thanks reefwatcher! I believe you’re right!
Beautiful artwork. You are very talented.
I've always enjoyed your videos. I like your tanks and your attitude and now that I've seen your paintings I would like to see more of them.
Cool Karen! Thanks! Maybe I’ll do an aquarium video and a painting update every once in a while? 😁
Thank you for your great videos, I’m new to reefing and have found so much guidance in your videos. Congrats on finding your new passion and I hope it prospers.
Any questions you can still leave them here😃
Big T, 😢 still watch when i have issues .always check back to the older vids. Miss you being you!!!...johnny
Thanks Johnny! 😃 I might drop one every once in a while. I just can be consistent 👍🏻
I may do one here and there😃 there’s only about maybe 20 of you guys that really miss me. Haha
You've got some painting skills!
@@ravs4200 👍🏻😃
1 minutes in, those paintings are real nice. Would love to own one.
Thanks! They will be very expensive😊
We’ll miss ya. Learned a lot from you!
Hunter, Still around, just shorts for now. I’m still answering questions also. 👍🏻
This style impromptu is my fave, short and sweet. It doesn’t always have to be educational. Just an update here and there. Maybe a Timelapse video of your artwork and stuff would be cool too.
Thanks for the input Jerri ! It’s far easier to do them this way, no editing!
big T ,just saw a couple shorts /TOMS BACK ? ya no .... YAAAA BABY!!!!
When I can I’ll post 😊👍🏻
OMG MIA Tom thanks for the update. Hope all is well your doing good.
Thanks SupaSkitz! 😃
Oh yeah! And by the way, your artwork is, can I say, banging? I mean Bang!. I couldn't be more excited for you and your followers, me.😂
Thanks for sharing 👍
Alright Danny! Banging Art! 😂👍🏻
I got the same algae. Changed out my rodi and used chemi pure elite and it helped very quickly
Hey Ozzman, That can work! I noticed mine is decreasing, but there’s so much of it that it’s still floating in the tank a bit. More time needed 👍🏻😊
Wow nice art work Tom!🎉
Thanks Jerry! 😊
I miss your videos, glad you are ok! Paintings look great ❤ be safe!!
Thanks Casima! 😃
Going through the same hair algae in my tank. Definitely not biopsy’s. Started to do major pinching with a hose and less feeding.
I love that 6 gal so much
It takes time to get rid of hair like this. Less feeding, manual removal, and larger more frequent water change. You’re on the right path😊👍🏻
I changed my career 2 years ago to do aquarium maintenance because it's what makes me happy but i still dont have time to film so i understand. You gotta do what makes you happy.
Thanks, W Mars good luck with the aquarium maintenance business! 👊🏻😊
Nice great painter
Thanks my man! 😃
@@TOMReefer your welcome I am 75 and I have watch you from the beginning and love to watch you.And a lady..lol
Nice! 😂
Thats a shame i got into reef keeping from watching your videos. Everytime i got a question or see a problem in my nano reef i look up your videos. You gotta keep your body and mind happy and if painting is doing that for you now then throw yourself into it completely. Stay healthy and take care Tom much love from England ❤
Hey Mac thanks! Any questions, I’m still around to answer. Leave on any vid. And I’ll get it. 👊🏻
Slow and steady wins the race! Hope you keep up with the maintenance and get inspired to do more. What’s going on with the cylinder tank with the damsel?
The six gallon is ok, it’s tricky because of it’s design, hair algae forms in the bottom because it doesn’t get a lot of circulation. If I add more circulation, it disrupts the top portion in the rest of the tank with too much flow..
@@TOMReefer thanks for the update, hoping for the best buddy
Thx for the update 👍
You’re welcome, Vincent!😊
What type of Gorgonian are those fluffy ones? Good fortune with the painting. Going to miss your personality on the reef videos. Thank you for the great memories.
Hey James! That’s a Florida gorgonian. And you never know I could be back. I may need a few more months off and if time lends itself to me, I’ll do a few more per month. I’ll still be around 👍🏻😃
Do you think you will make any more reef tank videos your videos have gotten me into aquariums and have thought me a lot about the hobby through out the years
Yes, but I need time. Just don’t have any right now 😊
Thanks for all your videos.
Wondering if you can help me.
My marine tank is 9 months old, using ro water.
I have been struggling with algae for 4 months, any idea what I can do? Will it ever go away. Anything you can say to help please, and thanks
Measure your phosphate. It may be high. Also larger and more frequent water changes. It will go away
@TOMReefer thanks a lot for your reply and help. I appreciate it.
Happy to watch you Tom. But passion first. I understand my friend, I move on new passion 😅too.
Hi Jean! I’m still here for questions, maybe a video once and a while 😃👍🏻
Going to miss you Tom
Thanks Will, I may do one every once and a while 👍🏻
Beautiful painting and sorry today bothering you too much😂
NP kiogh! 👍🏻😃
Bro u have some of the best tanks out there I feel u why I quit my channel too good luck with ur art bad ass
Thanks Retro! 👊🏻
Nice! Back in business 🔥
Thanks!
How much flow do you have in your refugium? I feel like I have to little flow in mine.
I don’t have a lot of flow. If your algae is growing your fine.
Hope you been doing well tom. Been a long time since we seen you. Remember Your new years resolution for full length videos 😢.
Yea, I tried 😊
Hey Tom. What's the dimensions on the 75 gallon?
38” x 24” x 24” 😊
Yeah, that gooey hair is something else. I just ran my first automated manual water change. So hopefully I'll be performing WC more consistently and getting rid of that gooey hair. I'm thinking 8 gal a week for now until i am satisfied. While testing of course. I'm thinking at least till the waste water is no longer green. And then spread it out to maybe biweekly.
Opinions comments welcomed.
could you maybe film your new passion too? would love to seee you paint
Hmmmmmm? Maybe! 😊
Damn Tom wats up that it’s not about the money it’s about sharing the knowledge of the hobby with people u did great sorry about ur tanks it’s a bummer hair algae is taking mine over too natural brotha anyway good luck god bless
Of course it’s not about the money retro. I’ll just spend 20 hours a week sharing my knowledge because I love it so much 😁
I’m doing a nano tank flu 13.5 to be exact. I have a Randall goby a cleaner shrimp, five bumblebee snails and a Talbot damsel. This guy is awful very mean and I’m looking to replace him with something interesting not the ordinary fish you see in every tank, but I do need it to be a small fish. do you have any recommendations something out of the ordinary
Hmmmm? Sometimes out of the ordinary are not for nanos, try a clown goby. Really small yellow. Very cool personality. But not easy to fine anymore
Your videos were great. Learned a lot thanks for the help. Do what makes you happy. I also got that hair algae. Everything was good then boom everywhere. Took me 4-5 months to get it under control. Lawnmower Benny and other utilitarian fish that helped me. But it was almost a total crash..wish you the best in your endeavors.
Hi Miguel, happy you learned from my videos. I’ll probably do one video per month, possibly. I just can’t promise anymore than that. I’m looking to get a fish for it also 👍🏻
Do you dose when you’re on vacation and what do you dose
I have a two-part dosing system. Dosing pump so they continuously run. They’re on timers so they only come on for about two or three minutes twice a day. They dose, calcium, and alkalinity.
@@TOMReefer ok thanks
NP Asv 👍🏻
TTTOOOOOMMM!!!!
Hey Brandon! 😁
Nice but like your videos keep them coming if you can
Haha😃👊🏻 maybe when I’m in the mood
Interests shift , keeps life exciting.
Why not create videos about your artwork ?
Might not be everyone's cup of tea but to some it may be interesting.
It'll shift your viewership for sure.
Problem with fish or any other pet , you're committed on a daily basis .
You can drop the paintbrush for weeks and continue the process when inspired.
Very good idea planet. 😃
And about hair algae I think might too much flow the reason
No way my man! Flow helps keep hair algae away because it keeps detritus suspended, which Hair algae can grow from. Flow is the helper to get rid of Hair algae.😊👍🏻
@@TOMReefer that's right I read about it some Google pages.
I cannot confirm whether they are right or wrong, but I am sure that your statement is correct with the experience you have
Still you using vinegar plz help me
No stopped using it. Didn’t really see a difference
It's all about having gun. Tanks look great! Hair algae will disappear.
I don’t own a gun 😊 you mean fun 👍🏻😃 hey algae sucks but it’ll go away in time
It’s cool you do you. It’s fine just as your doing what you like
I love your videos Tom 💕💕 I'm a painter too keep up the great work 🔥🔥 please keep posting your videos every once in awhile 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 whenever you have time 🫶🏻 love your tanks and paintings 🖤🖤
