I think that's a pretty grown up decision. Leon and Emily first. I think your tank can be put in autopilot now so no need to force videos. Use Instagram for mini updates as it might not be that labour and time intensive. God bless Mokz

I will miss spending my Sunday lunches with you but dedicating time to your child is definitely more important. Have fun with him. Before you know it he will be grown and you will forever remember this time. Thanks for your videos. Fred O

I just wanted to say thank you for the content, and helping me so much with my tank. I fought Dino for close to a year until I watched your video, and you explained it better than anyone else did for me. Since then I have finally beat it, and have been able to enjoy my tank. See you on the next tank update! Also happy birthday to Emily!

Happy Birthday to Emily!! 🎉 And thank you for being such an inspiration in the reefing hobby!

Wow, I got into reefing because of you, and after seeing your budget tank. Since then, you've been so consistent, always having a video on Sunday. It's been one of my Sunday regular viewings. I forgot we age, time doesn't stay still and we all have lives. Sh**, I've got a six year old and let me tell you. They get bored easy and you end up wanting to focus more on them. Focus on your kid, family and look forward to your videos when you drop them, this is indeed a hobby that rewards patience and one that rewards those who put in the time.

Love watching your videos! Cant wait to see the updates later on with everything grown out!

Thanks for all the great videos! I still rewatch some. Enjoy your family

Great decision mate as they grow up quick! Youre the real OG so im looking forward to videos when they do pop up! Enjoy your family time and thanks for all the content over the years! 😊

Going to miss your weekly vids man. I always look forward to what you have going on and what you have to say and teach us. Family first man. We will still be here to watch all of your videos!

Bell has been hit, love has been sent! You have been my Sunday evening/Monday morning reset for almost 18 months now. Great to see that you’re taking time to be with your family, and I can’t wait to see what happens during the longer spaces between uploads🤠🤠🤠

Good luck mate , been following that tank from the start. Love it 😍 thanks for your time 👍👌🇬🇧

I watch your videos ever week. I also follow you on IG. Thought I enjoy watching you weekly updates, I'm really glad you have chosen to spend more time with your family. The time goes by fast and our kiddos need us. Especially in early development. Hope you have a fun safe trip and I'll see you when you drop new content.

Happy birthday Emily! I completely understand the reasoning for stepping away. I will continue to support you no matter what! Take care.

You’ve been so consistent with the content it’s going to be somewhat boring, but your videos/content never felt forced and you’ve always kept your videos all about the reef and that’s the most I’ll miss. Of course the presentation or information you provide keep me engaged and interested… So I’m sure whenever a new video drops it’ll be good! As for myself I salute you! My ZOA’S on the other hand are throwing a fit over the news but like always, don’t mind them they’re MAD!

Completely understand. You are appreciated and you should appreciate your family even more. Best wishes always and I will be here to watch whenever you post. Have a great time.

Feel like this is an appropriate decision. Family first. Also can't feed from an empty cup. We'll miss your content weekly but will be happy to see updates when you can get them out

Gonna miss the awesome content and great information, but totally understand. Thank you for all you do!

I definitely understand your decision. Have a very nice vacation for Emily’s birthday. Btw your tank looks amazing. I love bristle tooth tangs Koles are my favorite but as you said good luck finding one

Makes perfect sense. Put your family first. I really love your videos and hope some time down the road you'll have time to make more. I've learned a lot from you and definitely thank you for what you've put out there.

Every Sunday I look forward to your talks and update,but family comes first,and hope you enjoy your Sunday’s with your little one.✌🏻

I'm out of the hobby now as I will be moving in the future and taking the tank and fish were not possible. You were a huge inspiration to start my saltwater hobby. It helped through a lot of depression, and it made me happy and kept me busy. Thank you for your videos, thank you for the entertainment. I'm a fan for life, no matter the upload frequency. Thank you for everything!

I’ve learned so much watching your videos but family comes first. I’ll keep looking forward on your sporadic videos

Just wanted to say I really enjoy the videos. Since the start of watching your channel 3 years ago I always felt you were a normal reefer like me. You made dumb mistakes and you tried out crazy theories, learning the whole way. I've watched you fight dinos, cyano, bubble algae, and much much more. Seeing your ups and down made me feel like my missteps were not the end of the world. Thank you for sharing your journey #nofilter 😁

Wow ive been watching your videos ever since ive started in the hobby. You have helped me out a ton and i feel like its kinda crazy how i know u so well and u do not knowmy existence. Anyways i think you have made a good decision and i forward to more :)

Going to miss your weekly vids man Enjoy the trip mate - hope Emily has an amazing time

I am gonna miss your videos. After an entire week of work and stress your videos inspire me to one day own my own reef tank and relaxes my mind so much. I also have a 9 month old and she need her dad. Spend the time with the family. Your loyal fans will always be waiting for the content to drop when possible. I have been watching your channel for a few years now and even went back and watched all your videos from the time you got your clowns. I want a pair like the ones you have one day. Best of luck and hope to see you again soon.

Good thinking. Family #1.. not KZfaq... All of us that enjoy you are already subscribed and notified.

That is a really appropriate decision actually! I'll ill miss the weekly appointment but I admire your choice 👌

The torch tower would look good covered in cyphastrea. Have fun with the baby.

I respect the decision you are making 100% I love your outlook you have when it comes how you control this channel! Family first youtube second ( or 3rd / 4th or even last lol ) you are easily my favorite reefing channel just because your attitude of awesome and very positive. You keep it real for real everyday people. Many who gain a large following kind of forget why they actually even started doing all of these videos. Most of the time it’s just because they are passionate about reef keeping and you managed to maintain that same attitude the whole time. That’s a beautiful thing bro. Enjoy the extra family time! The real ones will still be here every time you decide to let us take a peek into your system 🤙🤙🤙🙏🙏🙏✌️✌️✌️ happy reefing brother

Gunna miss ya bro, been hanging on your every word since the begining, thank you for the journey. enjoy your family.

enjoy your time on the trip! Nice update too!

Nooooooo!! Thanks for the memories brother!! Family 1st but I will miss you on Sundays

I am pretty bummed and also so happy for you! How old is your little guy? Mine just turned 2 and I am so in love with him and don’t mind at all how all my free time goes to him now. It seems like it can only get better as time goes on, because I’ll slowly get free time back to myself, but I’ll always have the precious memories we’re building together now. Your tank looks AMAZING, hope all continues to be well with you and your beautiful family!

Thanks for letting us know🤘

Happy birthday Emily!

Much love man 💪🏼

Family first man good call. We will miss ur weekly updates... We can wait 😁

I hope you keep the channel going. Your son will appreciate it when he’s a little bigger. Most kids these days want to be KZfaqrs. And he’ll most certainly be proud of the fact you have a successful KZfaq channel.

I can fully understand the reasons you are not doing weekly videos anymore . Look forward to your next one . Happy birthday Emily x x

Enjoy the trip mate - hope Emily has an amazing time... Secondly hopefully that wrasse shows ;)

Monthly or quarterly will help . I must have watched almost all of your episodes in this week 😆

Thats a shame, I enjoy your videos and your dry wit.

I just subscribed and appreciate your priorities.

I had similar issues with my Zoas too. I did a couple of things that helped. (1) I did a hydrogen peroxide dip with 1:10 ratio with tank’s water for 5 min. Swish with turkey baster while you’re at it. Rinse in another container with tank water and place back. This would remove any microscopic slimes, bacteria, fungus or coralline that could be settled on them and irritate it but not visible to us. However, this may not be an option for you since you have large colonies on your rocks and it may kill all the beneficial bacteria on them and disturb the balance. (2) Use a turkey baster after lights out (or during moon lighting) to blast water directly within the colony. The amount of trapped detritus that comes out can be surprising and this seemed to help them feel better day after day. It’s impossible to keep them clean with just the wave maker. See you around.

my friend had the same problem with zoas half closing and reaching and it ended up being branching hydriods look very closely near the closed polyps and see if you notice them they look almost like feather dusters but they piss of the polyps you can try adding a butterfly fish or a blue starred lepord they might eat them but coral dips and manual removal are very difficult

Time goes by SO fast with young children - your influence on them is so temporary, you have to make the most of every moment. I’ve followed you from ‘way back when you were buying your source water at WalMart and were trying to decide whether to buy a RODI setup. 😂 All the best, enjoy your family, and I’ll watch for your videos as and when they appear. 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for your enthusiasm 😎

I got into reefing because your video's. Just added my first fish and coral this weekend. Hate to see you go but I understand. Family is first.

I’ll miss your videos!😢

I have a 6 month old son myself and totally appreciate where you are coming from - I feel guilty working on my tank sometimes and I don’t have a KZfaq channel about my hobby 😂 regarding the zoas if this is an issue you notice vary throughout the day it may be related to your dosing schedule or could be PH related? I’d suggest sampling water when things look happy and when things are closing up and comparing the results. Thanks for all your great content!

yer well done your family comes before evey thing good luck mate

All the best mate. My zoa's have also been closed up for a good week now, not sure what's going on but everything else is fine and growing lol. Acans are weird af, sometimes u get them growing perfectly so you buy more and they just sit surviving really.

No question your doing the right thing. Because children grow up very fast. Be less video but better content when you do one. So something to look forward on updates in the future.

Very good, family always comes first 👍

You're right. Go live your life 👍🏾

Applause for you making a priority for the family! Look forward to seeing things in the future. KZfaq is not a priority.

I'll miss the weeklies but you're making the right decision. On a side not, toss me that warzone handle! lol

I had a very similar issue with my zoas. I have a nano zoa garden and the past couple weeks I noticed they were closed up and I tried alot to get them open. I finally solved this by lowering my lighting by like 10-15%. This was the only thing that got them to all open. Maybe that could work in your case

Have a fun trip! Life changes so I'm sure everyone understand ... we will still miss you. There are days I just want to break down all the tanks 🤣

It maybe awhile, but you’ll be scraping SPS off rock as those frags are too close. I have same problem, think I’ll do it later. I watched WWC new video on 750g, those guys number one priority, spacing of frags. We’re all jealous of the Cancun trip 🥳. Everybody has cabin fever. Windsurfing Hawaii is my next trip from SoCal. 🥳 Just make sure Leon gets plenty of age appropriate umbrella drinks. 🥰

👌🏻 Maybe now I can keep up with your video's. I wish you the best.

I had a to give up our tank a couple of years ago due to my health condition. I still have the sticker you sent me by the way. I do miss the fun we had with it. Most of all, the two clown fish we had Mut and Jeff for a long time. It hurt when I had to pull them out of the tank. Take care my friend.

Oh dude im gonna miss those sunday nights!!, but family's first!! :D

Great Video as always and can totally understand your decision to cut back. Just a quick question, how did you put the Rocks on the backglass? I missed some of your videos because of my schedule. Did you use some kind of glue, silicone or magnets?

I have very similar issues to you, a lot of my euphylia look great but one of them is retracted, also have a load of 'Acans' and only one colony refuses to puff up. It still initiates a feeding response but its nowhere near as swollen as the others. I can't figure it out. My params are pretty stable.

As long as you still take weekly pictures this way you'll have a time lapse of your tank

You should make a Cancun videos 😄 happy bday to Emilly!

You're a good father 😊

Tomini tangs are great. Love mine, always cleaning the glass.

Gonna miss it but makes sense

was wondering if you could show your light settings and the dimensions as in height of the tank and how far off its maunted ? then ppl could semi-set something similar to be secesfull :)

The corals look amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

Did you got the ICP results? In my nano it was high metals that caused the zoa's to stay closed.

Miss your vids already!

I will miss the weekly, but it makes sense.

Yes Family first. I stepped back from climbing corporate ladders to switch positions to something that allows me to spend more time at home instead of traveling around the world non-stop and being up to 1am every night just to answer work emails.

Kind of hard to check the nitrates with out hanna reagents. ARGH!! 4 months and still waiting.

Same as my bday. Happy bday 😀

Kinda sad to know your videos wont be here every Sunday. It's like having your favorite tv show come to an end. But I totally understand. Family first. Life is forever changing.

Never had a problem in my current tank of mixed bta's Colorado and green purple tip. Had a lta in as well for awhile but sold it to play it safe, but no warfare while they were in there for 2 months and touching

No nothing about corals but you make salt water interesting and make it seem doable Making me want one more and more, find your videos fun and educational 😊

10/10 video

#dadlife good for you Mok-yi miss you buddy. Come visit soon.

I feel like two more female anthias would look really good in the tank.

You a You and your wife enjoy your family 👪 so important to care for them first .

Damnn... will be missed

I think you should make an oldschool budget tank video, but this time do a budget frag tank challenge and everything is on a budget including equipment. Where diy is included !

I love your fish and corals

I saw a tidal gardens videos of the 5 corals he can’t keep and a surprising one was torches. His reasons were that they grow slowly and for some reason large colonies seem to just melt mysteriously too often. Definitely made me think twice about some of the high ticket torches. I’ve lost large ones myself I previous tanks without being able to say why. So unless the price a dragon soul comes down quite a bit I don’t think it’s meant to be.

I believe the RBTA strand you have is the Sherman BTA. In person the red is ridiculous and they are orange with an orange filter

Not goodbye, ....until next time

what happened to the chocolate case/ cover top down diy viewer? lol

Extreme jumpers. The wrasses.

Honestly, not a bad move at all, do like AmroAzul TV where he updates about once per month or unless something happened. The corals doesn't grow that much in a week so there usually isn't much change. Good for you, Leon won't be that age for long and time goes by faster than you feel or think.

I have 3 anemones in my reef tank red rose, rainbow and sunburst all playing well together. Trust me it works!

What's your Activison ID for warzone ! Do you play verdansk or rebirth

I had a RBT, and rainbow and a black widow all together in one tank and I didn’t have any issues.

I noticed your nori clip was next to your frogspawn that wasn’t doing well. I’ve heard of many of those magnetic nori holders were the magnet wasn’t sealed well. And with time they rust inside and start leeching pollutants into the water. Just an idea. Love your videos.

there are short tentacled goni’s as well. i have one
