Check out the new video by Mile High Reefers for an update on the progress of the Studio overall: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZmeorOgxpm7fp8.html

Mile high is such an awkward dude. But it's a great tour of your new studio can't wait to see it take shape over the next year

Awesome idea Jake! Keep it up! Studio is looking great!

Awsome video. I like how you think outside the box. Appreciate the information. And all you do.

@scottfrench2986 5 жыл бұрын

Love your channel. I really look forward to seeing the progress of your endeavor. I think it would be neat to see a small tank simply dedicated to reef aquarium pests. Collect them as you encounter them, and it would be a nice educational tool for hobbyists. Even a tank of macro algae would be cool too.

I had a nano for Aiptasia back in the day, that was enough.

That works surprisingly well ! I will have to invest in one. I can never seem to get into the aqua clear HOB intakes to remove the algae. I think this will work great. Thanks for the tip man !

Hi Jake. Just picked up one to remove some sponges that have grown onto som of my Frogspawn colonies. Great advice! You mentioned that you add Lugols to the water, is it the normal 40 drops/gallon that is recomended for dipping or do you use a stronger dosage?

@RipVanWinkle_Nature_Discovery 5 жыл бұрын

Haha nice. Good idea to use the water pik. Never thought of that before.

@DM-ll7he 5 жыл бұрын

Great concept. I have always wanted something like this for my tank. I would use it for coral and for cleaning under rocks. Pushing out any accumulation under the rocks while doing the water change. It would of course need to have variable speeds .

I’m still some what new to the hobby and I am wondering if the waterpik would help get rid of the white stringy sponge that I have growing on my coral? Any tips would be great.

@mikesenuty7162 5 жыл бұрын

That's a great idea. I wonder how it would do with aiptasia...have you tried mixing some coral rx the pik?

@benclark452 5 жыл бұрын

Might work well, but only in a separate tank/bucket. Never in your display. If it shreds their flesh you will spread them! Maybe this is obvious to you, but I want to warn anyone to the risk!

@ReefBuildersVideo 5 жыл бұрын

would probably just make a mess, hopefully I will keep craptaisia out of the studio altogether

@RipVanWinkle_Nature_Discovery 5 жыл бұрын

I saw people using a blue laser to kill aptaisia. From outside the tank, right through the glass.

@ReefBuildersVideo 5 жыл бұрын

Sounds likes a really great idea, but it doesn't eradicate the Aiptasia polyp - it just reduces into lots of little pieces which grow back into many more unwanted pest anemones.

@jaredc5789 5 жыл бұрын

I have a outbreak of aiptasia I'm still trying to decide how I want to treat it. I was thinking maybe peppermint shrimp or aiptasia eating nudi but I saw sustainable aquatic are selling Molly blennies that they claim will eat it.

Jake, how about using coral rx in the water and wash the buggers off..??

@Cordeneaux87 5 жыл бұрын

You can get a waterpik that is adjustable, have it turned all the way down and it shouldn't mess with the coral tissue

@keepsummersafe2147 5 жыл бұрын

Wondering a few things... 1) Why do it under the water? Would you not get better pressure if you were not having to "push" through the water? 2) Why not use fresh water instead of sw? I know people dip corals/live rock in fresh water to remove some pests... kind of a 2 for 1 if using fresh?

Out of water the jet will spray everywhere, it’s plenty strong submerged, and I can better see what I am doing.

@jhoanzuleta8148 5 жыл бұрын

@ExopMan 5 жыл бұрын

Revive should kill the adults but not the eggs (so you either have to dip frequently, use something stronger, or remove eggs via different method).

Does the salt water reduce the life of the Waterpik? Seems like the easiest solution is just to throw the whole coral into a small bucket with some Bayer's and call it a day.

How could you not dip if you're taking in a bunch of big and used colonies? It's a brand new studio Jake...amateur move.

@njreef8947 5 жыл бұрын

The dips dont work on the eggs of those little devils. It takes several dips with nasty chemicals. When you dip such a large colony it's also more difficult to rinse them off and you're more likely to leech that crap into your DT.

@ReefBuildersVideo 5 жыл бұрын

colonies from mature displays and experienced friends - trust me I WANT to treat every coral that comes in but there were a ton last week, and dipping wouldn't have removed the Nudi eggs anyway. But the displays are what counts, the corals will go through another protocol before they go into bonafide reef tanks.
