Easily the best channel on YT about reefing! I love the 300g and can't wait to see it's progress.

Loads of great tips and wisdom for newbies and salted reefers. A new larger tank comes with it's own needs and priorities. Sometimes we don't think on that level when planning and reality just keeps kicking us in the teeth during the build. I'm with your in listing and drawing out everything you want in advance. Great Video! Thanks so much for your time and effort.

Great video’s....just getting into the reefing end of aquarium’s. Been in FO for 20 years but been afraid to reef. But with U-tube and hobbiest like yourself it’s a little less intimidating. Doing research now on tank and systems to start. Leaning towards the Red Sea E-series 45 gal. Keep up the great info...newbies like me appreciate it.

Very good Travis I am still doing research until my monies get right and I can afford the 120 that I want so I don't have to settle for something that I will regret. Your 125 is what I aspire to make mine look like when that time comes

Good stuff, man! I'm in contract to buy my first home, so I should be able to start my first reef tank in the next year or so. Vids like this help me out a bunch- hopefully when I get started, I can save some time and money with these tips. So thanks!

Amen to buying extra fittings I made 6 trips to the local hardware store the day I set my system up. Mixing your saltwater the first time is a pain the first time. Once your close to 35pp but still under it. Your almost better off adding it to the tank and letting it evaporate down to to 35ppm rather than adding more salt to it.

perfect timing travis! just got my 40g breeder in and painted the back. getting my rock and other accessories today. gonna start that cycle so i can get everything in my 15g moved over. any advice o how to move over my new? he's attached to the biggest rock and has been for months. i don't want to detach him. think i could get away with just moving that entire rock structure over the way it is? it also has a nuisance sponge growing on it which I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of.

Good video. But did you say salt creep "seals" stuff? Salt is sorta hydroscopic.

How would this setup work? 1000 Gallon Tank 1 Longfin Batfish 1 French Angelfish 1 Yellowbar Angelfish 1 Gray Angelfish Possibly a queen angelfish 1 Purple Tang 1 Powder Blue Tang 1 Lemonpeel Angelfish 1 Flame Angelfish 1 Bicolor Angelfish 3 Cleaning Wrasse 4 Maroon Clownfish 2 Domino Damselfish 2 Anenomes Would they fight even if all introduced at the same time? Would that be overstocked?

I currently have a 75 gallon tank I'm in the process of moving to a 125 gallon... I'm going to transfer all my rock and water over to the new system.... I don't have the space to cycle a brand new system was wondering if I'm gonna have any issues with cycling bc all I'm adding is new sand and the difference in fresh saltwater?

I drained my 540l display tank because I had problems with Dino and after trying may ways decided to reboot. I have been drying the rocks for over a month now, question is should I put the rocks in the display and do the 50% water change for 4 weeks or should I 'cure' them in a separate container as you mentioned before putting into the display? What is your opinion?

I'm having significant algae issues. Got my Nitrate to near zero with NOPOX which got rid of the red cyano but there was still this green filmy algae(like cyano but green) that just seemed to regrow after every siphon... any suggestions? Phosphate test doesn't register and should be low because of NOPOX and photo period is at 8 hrs. Oh and persistent hair algae on the back wall... not as much of a problem because it scrapes off easily. Any advise appreciated!!

It could be that I don't have enough rock or I don't water change enough. If water change was the problem then NOPOX would've solved the problem because there would be no nutrients that need export? I have 20 lbs of pukani in a 36 gallon tank which isn't the recommended amount by any stretch but it's all I could fit in the display.... would adding a marine pure block to an established tank cause problems?

I dont believe it would be an issue so long as the tds is low enough, and it doesn't have chlorine/chloramine in it.
