My little girl and I are getting into the hobby together, and I’ve been devouring videos for the past two weeks. This series is by far the best. Thank you!

Actually nice to see a video on how much it takes to care for a reef aquarium. Have seen people tell new people ah it’s easy 1-2 hours a week but never explain what happens when all hell breaks lose!

I love the observation part. I sit and watch my tank for about 15 minutes every day sometimes more. It’s also very relaxing just to see the fish swim around

My tank crashed a year ago so I've been watching old videos to get back into it. Thanks to BRS for all you do for the hobby.

How do those snails live in the wild if they can’t flip themselves over? I’m surprised they haven’t evolved to be able to flip since I’d assume those that can’t quickly get eaten or die.

@bradsimpson8724 2 жыл бұрын

A lot of snails spend most of their time below the sand bed, and then can get traction regardless of their orientation. In a wild reef, I'm sure a lot of snails end up inverted and becoming snacks for whoever happens to be passing by. But remember that flow in the ocean is a very different thing than flow in the aquarium, and it doesn't take anything to flip an inverted snail back over, where the foot muscle can get a grip and keep it upright.

It's also to note the oceans and seas are vast Vs our tanks that are small, the chance of getting knocked over due to an aquascape is higher in our tanks

Will just add to this, as well as the liquid version people are most familiar with there is a powder form you mix up yourself. This will work out a lot cheaper.

Hi! Great video! I saw a beautiful orange sponge in the thumbnail. Can you help with some tips on keeping sponges, beacouse I have a blue sponge and I find sponges very interesting.

@BulkReefSupply 2 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately, sponges like that one tend to do poorly and not a good option for beginners. They require a lot of fine particulate foods to supplement their diet, which can lead to a build up in nitrates and phosphates if you're not careful.

@antshermannstadt 2 жыл бұрын

I have the sponge for about 3 months and is doing OK. It has times when is doing great, it has times when it isn't doing so good. I have a natural approach to reefing so I don't have a Skimmer. I have a sand bed about 1 Inc thick, lots of chaetomorpha in my display and only soft and LPS corals. The tank has about 11g and for the nutrient management I use wekly water change and Aquaforest pro bio F (it is some carbon dosing). I don't put any special food in my tank and I only use : Aqua Forest Amino mix, Tropic Marin marine snow and some misys shrimps. I don't have any fish, i have 1 blue leg hermit crab and 1 nassarius snail but I have lots of critters from my live rock. Appreciate if you could read all of this, but I whose wondering what species is the orange sponge from the video? Thanks! :)

I am curious when you say 2 part dose or the 1 part stuff do the same thing as kalkwasser?

@BulkReefSupply 2 жыл бұрын

like two part, kalkwasser also adds calcium and alkalinity to your reef tank, just in a slightly different way. Regardless, it's still a very popular way to dose a reef tank as it's inexpensive and also helps raise pH.

Biweekly has two meaning: 1. Twice a week 2. Every two weeks In North American English semi-weekly is also used, meaning twice a week. Maybe to avoid confusion with the two meanings of biweekly.

CORALINE algae is why I am getting out of saltwater and back into freshwater. People say it’s a sign of a healthy tank but I absolutely HATE it and think it makes an aquarium look unkept and ugly.
