Man, I've been waiting for someone to talk about these crazy price increases for livestock. F it, I'll just call it what it is...ridiculous. My last visit to my LFS, I saw $50 damsels and $85 for Fire shrimps! I know Rico's Aquariums has been dealing with family priorities, but this topic is right in his wheelhouse.
Imma always keep it 💯 on my channel never gonna change that my current QT stick list is double the cost of this lid! No choice but to try and keep ‘em from jumping
@Chad Murphy lol... you're thinking Queen City Corals who's business name was inspired by my channel name. But hey, I'll soon have an online store too. Make sure to tag along.
Great video bro. I love my orpheks with osix controller currently running 2 blue plus 1 sky blue and 1 reef day. Great app and light covers my tank no shades. Love it
For your next order of fish, Dr Reef's quarentied fish is an excellent service. He'll order and QT the fish for you so you can get exactly what you want in a healthy state. Takes about 2 months, but every fish I've got from him has arrived eating, healthy, and pest free. It's a good option especially if you're trying to track down fish that your LFS rarely get. Tank is looking good!
The problem with your qt tank being that close is accidental water exchange between it and the display tank. Also some parasites can actually travel via air. I think most recommend your qt should be at least 10ft away. Ideally in another room. I set up qt up in my bedroom closet so it was well away from the display in the living room.
No way this is real… I mean evaporation happens. But a 10 foot rule. That’s like food hitting the ground and it’s okay to each as long as it’s been 5 seconds. That 10’ koolaid has too much sugar.
Great video. Are you shooting videos with your phone? Filters? If so, what brand of filter? My tank looks like sh*t when shot with my iPhone. The blue light does not film well.
Every video on my channel is made with iPhone and edited with iMovie. I’ve never used a computer. I’m still working out these orphek camera lenses on my phone so not the quality I aim for yet… will get better as we go 💪🏾💯
It’s the latest version of their lids. Maximum air exchange and least around of weight. Classic woulda been my 2nd best choice if they didn’t have this one.
Your in the same town as me! Sandy’s is way over priced. Have you been to greentree pet store? The store that you went to out east has had a few owners in the past few years.
Nice update! I also ordered a lids from clear view recently. Can't wait to get it.
Quality Healthy Content! That lid is essential! Also, got me wanting to seed the tank!
They look good CJ. Quality!! The nice thing about polycarbonate is it won’t flex like acrylic lids will due to humidity or heat.
so happy to see you back i am waiting on a 150 innovative marine again great to see you back
Thanks CJ for these, you inspired me get my JBJ 65 which is still running. I got the clearview lids too!
Your tank is coming along nicely👍🏼

1:04 you’re right, I’m just gonna stay fresh water, ADA style
Yo CJ hope you’re doing good. As always bro love your videos! Great update. Can’t wait to get my own set up and use your videos as a guide.
Brilliant update cj 👌

I’ll look into it 💯
A product I use before putting the fish in after an observation period is safety stop . Check it out .

Looks like you took some of the OR3 bar lights down? How many are you using with the new Osix system?
Only ran two for this video for recording purposes. The blues are too deep for the lid to show correctly. all 5 are still mounted and work perfectly

Do you think it would be better to slowly add the fish to the main tank or do you think the tank is big enough to handle that bio load all at once m?
I’ll start wit the cheapest fish damsels first for a test run then add the rest after testing water out
Are you sure you want to add damsels as your first set of fish, they being aggressive to future added fish
Aruzi damsels are very peaceful compared to most damsel, I have two with an coral beauty angel fish, a clown and 6line wrasse with zero issues
why did you choose pisces over classic and tsunami

Haven’t took trip to Indiana yet. Blue star was only one I visited few years ago I’ll check out green tree 💪🏾
Do they cut down on par?
Very minimal with these orphek bars
@@CJSAQUARIUMS sorry i didn't wait till the end to comment. I just assumed it was more acrylic then netting on your top
I get it you must have a lid
but the price of a lid as much as the tank 😅
Not even close.. fish in the QT already exceed the cost of this lid. Fish prices are crazy now
