The first time I ate uni was with my wife in Hokkaido Japan. I was a little dubious about what this stuff was going to taste like but my wife, who had lived in Tokyo for seven years insisted that I would love it. I put it in my mouth and let it dissolve on my tongue. I looked at my wife and just said it tastes like the sea. Between oysters and uni I don't think you can get closer to the place where they grow. Cheers, Chris

Very knowledgeable reefer. I had the opportunity to shake his hand along with a few ? s to ask him at reef poolaza in NJ last year.. Very humble person, and he signed one of his books.

Amazing video full of new scientific yet simply explained for us hobbyist that give us more grasp on what to use and how to get the best outcome. Please we need more of this kind of information. Thank you!!

The nice ocean smell from seaweed... the non-tank community will hopefully find out about this soon :)

Great discussion. After many years just from my point of experience, the best low maintenance setup is a large skimmer that's run a few hours a day and an algae scrubber. The oversize skimmer means I empty the cup about once a month or less, the scrubber by weekly if that. Also I notice the silence when the skimmer is off :) my scrubber initially grew red algae, now it does green near the outlet and mostly brown and a gelo type clear algae. I maybe change 20% water a year. I also dose Himalayan rock salt! Yep call me crazy but I've seen positive colour responses from dosing it, my reason is I believe it's replacing trace minerals and other unknowns all be it from an ancient ocean from millions of years ago :) I'd be careful on cheap brands that might put anti caking agents in. I'm not condoning it's use, just an experimental thing I'm doing. As I constantly experiment on my setups. My system is also partly sunlit. Julian sure knows his stuff and like a champ always quotes his sources!

LOVE these videos. Keep them coming!

very nice video series for the avid aquarist on the pulse of reef keeping. love them, keep the videos coming. greets from austria-europe. 🐠

My tank is the perfect testament for this. Since I started using a good Kessil refugium light, my refugium is growing crazy fast and my skimmer produces almost no skimmate now.

Ótima entrevista...tirando muitas dúvidas..sobre skmmer e Scruber..e refúgio...

Awesome. Thx!

Fantastic video :)

Very well said. . I'm a big fan of your writing. I liked you take on the calcium solubility in reef systems. How do you feel about the use of micro bubbles in a reef tank to induce gas exchange and CO2 displacement?

what is the red algae filtration unit called in the video?

Great video. I'm fairly new to reefing but I have a problem with my cheato always dyeing in my refugium. I haven't been able to find an answer to this puzzle. Do you have any thoughts on the matter? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
