Ryan, great job! You've inspired me to try this and at the end of the day that's why I love your videos. I was out of the hobby for 22 years and am trying to catch up with technology. Thank you so much for helping all us old guys. Dave Foote
Instead of seeding a bunch of rock with bacteria; I placed a bunch of biomedia in a container prior to setting my tank up. It turned out well. I wasn’t rushed trying to scape wet rock.
Thanks for bringing us along on your journey. I've been in the hobby for about 25 years and recently let my setup go for a song as I prepared for a cross-country move. Watching you is keeping me engaged in the hobby while I am without a tank and excited to get another tank up and running soon! I deleted my Facebook so I am not sure if i'll be able to enter the giveaway but I would be thrilled to have a new RSM setup with that beautiful NSA to go along with it! Either way congrats on realizing your dream and thanks again for your contributions to this great hobby!
Love it. At same time I was downsizing I came across Tidal gardens latest scape video and your 360 scape video. Had already seen what your calling an ‘NSA’ from a few reefers so gave it ago. I smashed up my already 10 year old live rock and over several days used putty & elastic bands (to hold together while it cured) creating branches/ shapes that were eventually put together to form a gravity defying NSA! Thing along with my bare bottom means tons of flow and barely any detritus build up. Wouldn’t have it any other way. Now to let the encrusters take over bottom glass!
BRS heater controller is great. Only thing I would add is to view the current temp while it displays it’s overheating. Currently you have to wait for the temp to drop or change the set point if the water is too hot.
As always informative and very useful information. 31:28 wow! What a system, I have personally never had that problem with the sulfur smell and everything but I can imagine it would be awful.
Thanks for all the info and everything you do for the hobby. As far as this video is concerned, you actually made me feel good about unfiltered NYC water ;) 35 TDS
i use the same heaters in the uk 2x 600w 1 being a back up, controllers i use are the DD duel heating & cooling controller never let me down and accurate
Hey Ryan I personally use an ink bird wifi heater controller off of Amazon it has two temp probes came properly calibrated sends you alerts and has an alarm allows you to calibrate if needed and set your preferred temp and keeps it perfect I've been using it for six months with no problems
Ryan, try aqua logic temp controller. It comes with a titanium probe and is the best one available. I have 2 I’ve been running for 3 years no problems and the build quality is amazing.
Just wait until you need to catch a fish. I have a similar scape, and after making a quarantine mistake, I've been hunting the last velvet survivors for weeks now. Two to go, and then the fallow clock can start ticking. Looks great, but so difficult in these situations.
ETA on the 120 G aquascape video? Got a drum full of saltwater and Marco rock and an empty 120 ready to be set up, and would love to see this video first :D
Hi🙋♀️ I have 1 Betta in a 1.5 gal. Zero substrate and only one plastic hammock. I keep getting the tiny white little bugs. Planeria perhaps? WHY? There's nothing in there and I keep him clean! What can I do to keep them out. They make him itch!🤢Plz help and thanks 👍
Ok I’m stupid and hoping you guys @bulk reef supply can help me! At 36:20 in the video, you state that the ro res always stays full... I have an older BRS 7 stage unit (2 membranes, two pre, two carbon, two di), and just bought your new 7 stage pro plus as well. On my old unit, even with the float valve and auto shutoff, the unit keeps producing waste water and the pressure sky rockets. What am I doing wrong? How do I keep my supply valve open at all times to allow the unit to auto fill infinitely? I don’t want to mess up the new unit when I hook it up! Thanks 😊
I have one of those too. BRS was out of stock when I was buying. That’s probably where BRS has theirs manufactured. There are many advantages to the BRS version though. BRS version has a rubber temp probe and can be replaced. Inkbird’s is fixed and metal. It’s interesting that the BRS version can sustain a 1200 watt load but the inkbird sustains only 1100 watts. I think the BRS version also does finer controlling to 0.3° where the Inkbird needs like 1-2° swing
I see the JBJ heater controller is 1000 watts max. Is there a heater controller that’ll sustain 1200 watts or is it common to use separate heater controllers? (Edit) looks like the BRS controller does 1200 watts!
Many rules have been put into place around the world over the last 3-4 years. Those rules only apply to rock that is still in the ocean, not rock that has previously been harvested
Ry, when are you going to post the video on how you made that rock??? I am literally waiting to build my scape the same. im done with piles of rock that you are never happy with falling all over the place! show us how its done!
Ryan didn't build the aquascape in his 360 tank, but is working on one using Reef Saver rock that is designed for a 120 to show how it's done. That is being worked on as we speak 😃
A different type of sand was used in the sump trays. But comparatively speaking, the sand in the display results in way more sand than Ryan could fit in the sump.
Here is the real question Ryan. What is it about this house that was so special that you had to move there? Seems like you have had to spend a fortune to make this place functional.
The high flow in the display vs lower flow in the sump is a consideration too. Not to mention that the sand trays in the sump are easier to access. I think we can all agree that sand, regardless of location, absolutely acts as a biological filter.
Man Randy is completely fine for me. If you want to talk about interruption, go check Terence from Neptune when he is interviewing. The interviewee doesnt get to say 5 words proper. Lol
We are giving away that NSA aquascape and tank this week. For more info check out the 360 Facebook page facebook.com/BRStvGuy/
I didn't see the giveaway post sadly
@@jamesparrott2073 Ryan is working on getting a short video filmed for the giveaway and more info will be posted to his FB page shortly :)
An amazing prize. My daughter watched this and told me she would love to have it in her room. WTG Ryan. And BRS continues to push this hobby forward.
Absolutely love the BRS team but don't use Facebook. Wish there is a way us not on Facebook to win some stuff
Really sucks give away is on FB. Not all of us have FB. :(

After I used the dry cycle kit I did a full water change to get a restart on some of those higher then preferred levels

I really love that lock on the door

Thanks guys love all the info excited for the light build 👍
We ended up with a somewhat similar water system for the sulphur water at my house. Mine goes through 4 or 5 systems before its actually ready to use

Love that scape and would love to win that with that awesome tank!!!!!
Maroon clowns first eh? Bold move. I haven't been able to add a fish for 8 years because of my maroons. I am loving the build. Great work!
The big tank definitely helps. If this was a 75 gallon, Ryan would probably have issues with aggression with the Maroons going in first 😃
Check out the Aqua Logic Digital Temperature Controller if you have'nt already. Industrial grade temperature controller.
awesome sauce! same time same place next week!
Impossible to avoid pest of some sort at some point. Bubble algae and aphasia are my nemeses! Sand treys are cool! I have a lame bucket LOL
Love that scape! Question. If you had done this experiment before you ordered your scape for the 360, would you have considered making it yourself?
Ryan, try aqua logic temp controller. It comes with a titanium probe and is the best one available. I have 2 I’ve been running for 3 years no problems and the build quality is amazing.
Really Cool ! NSA !
this will eventually become Ryan's wrasse sump (i.e., fish that need sand).
The thumbnail I thought you were in an airplane looking out the window haha!
Haha, sort of looks like it!
Ranco temp controller for reliability!!!!
Ranco temp controllers are the best
Just wait until you need to catch a fish. I have a similar scape, and after making a quarantine mistake, I've been hunting the last velvet survivors for weeks now. Two to go, and then the fallow clock can start ticking. Looks great, but so difficult in these situations.
ETA on the 120 G aquascape video? Got a drum full of saltwater and Marco rock and an empty 120 ready to be set up, and would love to see this video first :D
No ETA right now, it's not something that's being actively produced at the moment.
Doesn't the microbacter xlm bottle say do not add before live sand or live rock wait until cycle is over before adding sand or live rock?
Hi🙋♀️ I have 1 Betta in a 1.5 gal.
Zero substrate and only one plastic hammock. I keep getting the tiny white little bugs. Planeria perhaps? WHY? There's nothing in there and I keep him clean! What can I do to keep them out. They make him itch!🤢Plz help and thanks 👍

Inkburg heater controller is very much like your brs .
I have one of those too. BRS was out of stock when I was buying. That’s probably where BRS has theirs manufactured. There are many advantages to the BRS version though. BRS version has a rubber temp probe and can be replaced. Inkbird’s is fixed and metal. It’s interesting that the BRS version can sustain a 1200 watt load but the inkbird sustains only 1100 watts.

we used 2
So if Haitian rock isn't available how did you obtain it? Or was that mentioned in the video?
Many rules have been put into place around the world over the last 3-4 years. Those rules only apply to rock that is still in the ocean, not rock that has previously been harvested
I’m only using consuming anion as well, no idea why
The most common water contaminants are negatively charged, so it's normal to burn through more Anion resin than Cation 🙂
Ry, when are you going to post the video on how you made that rock??? I am literally waiting to build my scape the same. im done with piles of rock that you are never happy with falling all over the place!
show us how its done!
Ryan didn't build the aquascape in his 360 tank, but is working on one using Reef Saver rock that is designed for a 120 to show how it's done. That is being worked on as we speak 😃
I'm wondering why your trace of sand and rock did not serve the same purpose and how the same result of having sand in your tank
A different type of sand was used in the sump trays. But comparatively speaking, the sand in the display results in way more sand than Ryan could fit in the sump.
@@BRStv but what would be the 'golden ratio' gallons to sand?
Every time I have had those clowns, they have always gone for my hands trying to attach frags to the rock work. I hope you do not have the same issue.
Silly clowns! 😜
What is the Facebook page that has updates posted about this tank he is referring to?
facebook.com/BRStvGuy
If your looking for a heater controller that’s reliable, look no further than Ranco!
Why not miracle mud in the trays ?
I can't speak for Ryan, but sand is just less messy, so I have to imagine that played a certain role in the decision.
How can u get that rock scape? Wow it would look nicely in my new yet to setup 24g nano.
Ryan is giving it away over on his Facebook page. Link below :)

Bulk Reef Supply awesome thank you chief.
Here is the real question Ryan. What is it about this house that was so special that you had to move there? Seems like you have had to spend a fortune to make this place functional.
Sand in the tank, problem, sand in the sump, a filter...
The high flow in the display vs lower flow in the sump is a consideration too. Not to mention that the sand trays in the sump are easier to access. I think we can all agree that sand, regardless of location, absolutely acts as a biological filter.
Them clowns are going to be mean. :(
o7
Randy is always interrupting Ryan, but 6:59 is too much man
Man Randy is completely fine for me. If you want to talk about interruption, go check Terence from Neptune when he is interviewing. The interviewee doesnt get to say 5 words proper. Lol
DONT run a sandless tank. Lame. Not natural. Go play golf.
