What vids would you like to see next? 💙

Cyanobacteria comes on when there is low nitrates and phosphates not high!

Red slime algae is not from high nutrients. It's an imbalance of bacteria diversity. This happens when you P04 and N03 bottom out to zero, and your bacteria feeds off bacteria instead of nutrients. Bryopsis looks totally different from hair algae. If you look at pic of air algae it looks like hair and is bright green. bryopsis is dark green and has branch leaves on it. They don't look the same at all.

Great video, really solid advice on some of the nuisance pests of the hobby. This made my saved list as I am getting ready to get back into the hobby after a 20 year hiatus.

Duuuuuuuude!!!!! Thank you for the green hair Algae and bryopsis bit! You just helped diagnose my tank and gave me a better method to tackle it. You’re the bomb diggity!

Would love to see a coral 🪸 placement video!!! Love your work

Just found your channel. What a great video I’m hooked now.

I so much enjoy watching you know reefing real well and explain so clearly and a bit humor to boot so we feel better 😊

An Australian stripey also works for aptaisia it doesn't eradicate them but atleast it keeps them from overpopulating your tank

My bumblebees eat vermetid snails and I have never seen one on another snail that hadn't been already overturned by a crab and killed.

Yes agree your sump setup walkthrough video would be great ..love the videos welcome back

Your hand gestures throughout the video 😂😂

With bubble algae I found reducing nitrates and phosphates, adding urchins and emerald crabs along with reducing feeding and not doing water changes for a while helps, as the fresh salt seems to feed it due to the fresh trace elements etc!

Hey new to your channel love the video so thanks I will definitely go back and watch your older video to catch up keep reefing.

I only recently added urchins to my tank and they are algae eating machines. They do like a spot of coraline which is OK with me. One of my urchins picked up a massive mushroom. It makes me smile seeing this urchin disguised as a Discosoma trundling around the tank.

its me Anthelia !! I'm still hiding in your Reef muhahahaha :)

wow thanks for the information and some things I have not tried yet lol. Keep them videos coming any information tips or tricks my ears and eyes are open. I am battling aiptasia & and green algae now possible the one you talked about in your video so going to make changes and see what happens. All so new subby here got a red sea reefer 250 waiting to get wet :)

I’ve used file fish and they eat aiptasia like they were potato chips! 😅

Super helpful video and fun to watch! Keep up the great work!

What an awesome video! Thank you so much! Love it

Where can I find the fluconazole you showed in the video?

In my main tank I have a couple emerald crabs and a One Spot Fox face, I have no nuisance algae in that tank currently. I set up a Pico tank and took some snails from the big tank and tossed them into the Pico. They almost immediately started growing bubble algae in there shells. I guess my crabs and Fox Face have been working overtime on the bubble algae in the big tank, that I didn’t have any visible.

We have a similar tank to you - the 200g Waterbox 7225 peninsula. 2 years in and we have an aiptasia explosion. We have been using Aiptasia X but after like the third bottle we added 10 berghia nudis about a week ago. I will do my best to remember to let you know how we get on as we have 2 leopard star wrasse (aka peacock wrasse) one male and one female. Wish us luck with Cyril and Cynthia! They are usually tucked into (the sand) bed before lights out. 😂

Great Video!

My filefish ate my aiptasia, but she also liked to snack the the tentacles of my torch coral

Just wanted to Thank u for finally identifying me Alge/Snail infestation u are the first to help with proper identification of problems. I have mad Briopsis alge, Red slime alge, and the cherry ontop Vermated Snails. Thanks for the recommendation recommendation of

Salty Bottom Reef have your gold band

Hi, you never got majano anemones or flatworms? Those are a pain!

Great video, I´m facing the bryopsis for over 1.5 yrs and thinking of fluconazole treatment. Hope it will not hurt my corals and fish. BTW, thanks for your clear English as it isn´t my mother language ;)

use flucanazol 4 times the recommended dose an dkeep it running without water change for 5 weeks. it will kill off all pest. (Did in my 2 times (SPS tank) did not lose any coral and cleaned all up

I made the mistake of buying some pretty mushrooms that had some ugly brown palys on them. Being a beginner at the time I thought cool free stuff!! The owner of the store said that he would give me the palys for free since I was buying the mushrooms. Turned out to be not cool!! Three years later, the palys are all over the place, and I constantly have to scrub the rocks to get them off. Fortunately there has been no problems with palio toxins when I scrub the palys off the rocks. They have not affected the other corals. Also, at one point in time I bought some brown star polyps, which are now also all over the place I have to scrub them down on a regular basis also. It’s really a pain in the wazoo!!

Recommendation on how to treat. I have 180gal that I took over from my dad who passed away 5 years ago.

At Queen can you do another video of your sump would I’ve to see your engine room again great vid as always 👍🏼 you never disappoint.

Been a while since I got back into reefing. This girl has gotten finer! Lost weight, looking healthy. Happy for you!

Vermetid snails are evil! I just added one bumblebee snail......will let you know if my nessarius snails are affected

Cyano, aiptasia, and vermatid are the worst I also experience cyano if my nutrients are super low also for those battling with aiptasia I reccomend *F Aiptasia* and *NOT aiptasia X* it only made my problem worst !

Great video!!

Very good video, with good advice

peppermint shrimp ate my aptaisa took about 3 weeks

very informative, great video

Cerith snails are a big help for natural bio help removing cyno they will eat it

Great video 👌🏻💯✌🏻

Awesome video. I have a question that's probably been asked a thousand times. Where did you get the light shades?

The lights all facing different directions is triggering my OCD 😅 Other than that I enjoyed the video.

Im dealing with a second bout with aptasia. I use a laser when they are not close to corals. I have also used Berghia. However, this second time around, the lil bugers are in my overflow box. That is going to be the biggest challenge. I really do not want to tear my overflow box apart.

Great video 👍

When getting a copper band don't get one for apstasia cuz they never eat them, lol or at least that's been my luck. I have 2 one in a 75 and 1 in a 180 and they both don't eat it. LOL

live aquria have copper bands for 109.99 way over price and i dont trust live aquria have had a shady dealing with them but their out there and my LFS have some for 79.99 here in Vegas

I had two turbo snail die in my tank recently and before I found out they died I was getting a red bryopsy type film algae on my rocks and back glass long story short when I liked the shells I noticed that they 3:42 moved freely and when I picked the shells up they fell out the shell with the most horrible smell I ever encountered 😷🤧but yea they were the culprit of that algae bloom.

Thank you you really helped me

I used aptaisia X and Worked really well but keeping my coral banded shrimp from eating the aptaisia X was an absolute mission.. I thought it would kill my shrimp but nope.. he thinks it's great 😂

We get copperbands all the time we have 4 right now 3 are eating frozen food

Red Slime is gross but easy the worst is bristle worms there's some nasty fkrs if possible dip your new coral or anything going in your tank this isn't a cheap hobby and I've seen tanks over run with aptasia bubble and worms from a pet store buy

Queen Bulk Reef supply should really have you doing there videos you get right to the point and don’t ramble on the way he does on there videos thank you for your pest video very great information being that you have dealt with these pets on a personal level .👍🏼

To be honest, you should put this video down. As a medical student, i think it is highly concerning that you throw antibiotics around like candy. I think you mentioned that you studied law or something? I really thought you would be smarter than that because of general knowledge and higher educating in high school i guess. German here so I hope I don't mix your school system up. You have often not even mentioned all biological solutions or have an understanding why you have certain problems.. Cyanos for examle are good at breaking up phosphorus deposits(thats why often in clean water on dirty sand) and are nitrogen fixer. Thats why cerithium snail are supposed to "eat" cyano because they have a high metabolism and offer other microbes amonia, which are than fighting against cyano. Also who the hell can't tell the difference between hair algea and bryopsis??? Hair algea are just strains of cells and bryopsis have clearly a leavy feathery structure to them if you get like 1 meter close to them. Also bryosis is mentioned in every list of typical reef tank problems.
