Aquabiomics test your Reef Aquariums Microbiome and reveals how healthy that microbiome is using data collected from a lot of sampled reef aquariums. Compared to the results of a typical healthy reef aquaruim microbiome. Aquabiomics is a great way to see into the unseen world of micro organisms that live in our reef tanks doing all the hard work to keep our aquariums running smooth. These microbes are responsible for the nitrogen cycle and many other processes that take place in our reef aquariums that our so often over looked. In todays video we also take a look at my Microbiome and DNA Test Results from Aquabiomics

This is litteraly the best start up for reefing yet I’m so excited for this I got 2 tanks I’m definitely ordering a couple I think this is way more important then most reefers realize

Hey, I had a question. I will be setting up a 600 litre (160 US gallons) tank it will be 60x26x25 inch (LxWxH). So, instead of using bottled bacteria to cycle my tank, if I buy buy two bags of Maxpect bio balls and put them in my cousin’s reef tank’s sump and leave it there for a month of two and then put it in my tank after setting it up, will that cycle my tank? As the bio media would be seeded with bacteria by then. Also the copepods and all that might come in the bio media, will they survive the cycle? The bacteria will eventually find its way up to the display tank right? Also do you think the pests like aptasia, bristle worms and other pests he has will cause a big problem? As far as I know he had an ich or velvet outbreak about 1.5 years ago as well which has been solved and all the fish are healthy now, so will that be a problem as well? Because we all get pests in the end anyways and in will be a sterile tank so they shouldn’t survive right? I will feed phytoplankton for the pods. Is there any way I can get all the bacteria and pods but not the pests into my tank? Please let me know. Thank you in advance!

Great questions. You can definitely help speed up cycling, and seed a tank with bacteria from an established tank. Definitely still test and check during the cycle to see your ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels. If you want to know for sure about pest and pathogens I would definitely recommend testing your cousins tank with aquabiomics so that you know what you may be adding to your new tank. I have started a tank with a cup of sand, some rock from an established tank. It would be similar to use the bio sphere media. I have also used Dr. Tim's one and only as well. My previous 210 was up and running in a week and my current tank, I transferred everything over in a day (Rocks, water etc) Remember to have an ammonia source for the bacteria to break down during cycling.

@@TheCoralReefTalk okie thank you so much! The coral pests that shouldn’t be a problem right? As I won’t be adding corals for a few months until the tank is stable so they should die out correct?

@@abyankabir1910 I think you will be fine initially. Routinely monitor your parameters. How are the corals doing in your cousins tank? If all is well then we can assume you will have a good starting point. Once more things get added to the tank, other things can get in and so some people run fish quarantine and coral quarantine tanks. Also Copepods can be pretty hardy. What type of fish do you have planned for your tank.

@@TheCoralReefTalk I’ll keep a tang trio, pair of clowns (mandatory for almost all reef tanks in my opinion XD), pair of cardinals, and a wrasse or two and maybe some smaller fish as well. I would have given you a pic here but I can’t. It seems pretty good to me :)
