Question, i picked up a whole qt "kit" on fb with tank, hob filter, heaters and tons of meds (maij reason for buying) and turns out most of it is sealed BUT expired. Should i ask for my money back or can i still safely use the meds?

? for you. I lost all but one fish (bar goby) to velvet. I did 40 days QT like you mentioned before adding fish to my DT. The fish were great for 3 months and I broke down my QT tank. Days later, I added corals and snails. Within days, my fish started dropping and within a week, only the goby was left. My reef is fully loaded and there is no way to break it down to get that goby, who never got velvet. What am I to do? I’m thinking of waiting 3 months, doing a QT for 30 days fallow (except for the goby)on new fish and adding to see if it works. What’s your thoughts?

I've lost 7 fish in a month 😢.... thanks for the info... im going to set up a quarantine tank now

I love this guy basically like covid in humans best medicine is good diet

Some of what he's saying is just not true - pharma grade absolutely IS different it is NOT just a "marketing ploy." It meets higher chemical purity standards and has a certificate of analysis from the FDA. Food grade does not meet nearly as stringent purity requirements and the FDA classifies it as "generally safe." Whether it's good enough is a separate question, but to say that pharmaceutical grade ingredients is nothing more than some sort of ploy or marketing trick is absolutely incorrect.

Shoutout to Rob for sharing his Alkatronic recipe. I've saved big bucks thanks to his video! 👍

Cool. Now I need to know how many Liters I need to buy for my tanks! What is the dosage for 1m³ (1000 Liters)? Can you put fish in lakes?

Great content. Love it.

Ive tried several ways of stopping ich from entering my tank and this method is the only way that works. Ive now quarantined 3 sets of fish and havent lost one. Thank you thank you thank you

I am just returning to freshwater aquariums after a +25 year hiatus.

Thank you for these great videos. I want to ask regarding meditation during quarantine. Would you recommend to do all following: freshwater bath, hydrogen peroxide bath and then 14 day copper treatment with 14 day in observation tank? Thanks in advance. Armen.

dinos are not worth things, keep on reefing, they are just ugly to look at. My NO3 Po4 was never at zero, still LCA and SCA. I had to blow off my sand daily. I have tried everything for 1.5 years.

hi, if i use prazipro still need to do fresh water dip for external parasite like fluke ??

Only ever had dinos bloom once, did big syphon as much as possible with a water change, then complete blackout ( covered the tank in cardboard sheets) 3 days, then dosed Dino X exactly as the manufacurers instructions. Dinos never became a visible problem anymore, no more blooms. I have no idea why this worked but it did.

Man Dino’s are rough. I got them when everything dropped to zero. I thrown everything at it. I never used a microscope. But for me I siphoned into a filter sock every 2 or 3 days added bacteria and raised my nutrients up. In 2 or 3 months I beat them. There is Dino x but it has really mixed reviews. But on the positive side the Dino’s did kill my Vermetidae snails 😂 Good luck man you got this. Good and bad comes and goes in this hobby. You got this!

I got brave enough to get a Scopas Tang (I’m scared of tangs, because they’re parasite magnets) from my LFS, which said it had been there 3 months! I didn’t quarantine (lesson learned), and all was going well for a couple weeks. Maria De Scopas (I named her a mix of Spanish and the Latin to say “broom of the sea” 😊) was eating very well. I had just gotten her to start eating sheet nori. Skittish, but doing well. Then boom… my world was rocked. I saw spots. I was hoping sand. Next day, more spots, but no one else was affected. The next day, she’s worse and Emo Nemo, my Darwin Clown, is in really bad shape! So fast… from nothing to covered in a day. Yeah, a grown 45 year old man ugly cried! Google brought me to your site, and I read and read. I did the H2O2 dip for 30 min, as per instructions. I’m starting dosing on the tank immediately! I don’t know what the outcome will be, as Emo is struggling. But if I save just one fish… I owe you big time! Thank you so much for all the research and time you put into this. I really thought I was going to lose everything, as soon as I realized it was velvet. I haven’t read much that was inspiring about copper and QT with velvet. You gave me, Maria de Scopas (Scopas Tang), Princess Picasso (Picasso Clown), Emo Nemo (Darwin Clown), and Pixie Rasmussen (Fairy Wrasse) hope! Thank you again for that. Corals don’t seem to be ill affected, according to everything I’ve read… especially since they’ve all received H2O2 dips in the beginning… but I’d gladly trade one or two for my fish family.

Clearly doing something wrong if he has to break down multiple tanks due to being overgrown by algae. 🤣🤡 Humble fish sure is a funny forum, I delete my account and then you silly guys say you banned me. This clown says Jake Adam’s didn’t know how to grow coral and this is what you’re working with? LMAO👎👎

Thank you for all that you and your crew does, Bobby.

I have been running 2 Nicrew 100’s over 40 breeder sps dominant Walt Disneys all types of Acros and Millie’s at 30 percent blue 5 percent white that’s all I need I have excellent colors and growth any higher I get burnt tips

Keep up the good work!

Enjoyed listening to the ladies talk about their business, I just placed my first order with them. They were super easy to deal with. Sounds like they must be doing well because they had to give me a 5 to 6 week lead time for shipment. can’t wait to get my live rock and sand and get this system going

I would not recommend drilling Aqueon aquariums. They use whatever glass they have around the shop and don’t label it. My 75 gallon had tempered front, back, and bottom panels. I much prefer to buy a quality brand like Planet. Their build quality is so much better and the cost difference isn’t much (less than an Acantho haha).

For lights, Noopsyche K7 Mini (60w, 3 channels, WiFi, ~$70), and K7 Pro III (140w, 6 channels, WiFi, ~$160) are pretty awesome. Also shout-out to Reefi for making premium lights that crush the big names for half the price or less.

I like these keep them coming. Awesome job

Nicely done, boys!

Photone App for PAR meter purchase the blue/white spectrum for I think less than $5. Done.

I run almost exclusively freshwater for his tank I would look at kuli loaches for the eel fix

Thanks for this presentation! I have been reading trough the tests performed by aquabiomics oon reef2reef and this presentation compacts everything together greatly! It just shows how little we actually know about the complex system in our tanks.

Great video! This hobby needs more fish information on KZfaq stage. Go get it boys!💪 New Subscriber

I’m looking at extending my 800 litre fragrance tank and adding a 10ft display. I also have another Red Sea reefer 350. All the fish will be brought together and added to the display and frag system. These systems have been running for 4 years with no sign of fish disease. Would you remove them all and quarantine or just quarantine new additions? I have wrasse, clowns, tangs etc. including a powder blue.

Where do y’all buy fish lol the prices y’all are quoting are far below what any of my lfs have 😂

That’s how I run my lights. They start to come on at 11am with a long ramp up and then off at 11pm with a long ramp down. But it means I get to actually enjoy it while I’m home.

Thank you guys! Your conversations are some of the most informative reefing content out there right now. Love to see it! Thank you for being mindful of how expensive this hobby is. I worry about the financial literacy of hobbyists in general as it is so easy to end up spiraling into those buy now, pay later offers at all the big box distributors of dry & wet goods.

What happenet if dont turn off UV and Skimmer with prazi pro?

I have both a 6 line wrasse and a neon dottyback in my 160 gallon tank. I've had them for about 5 months and so far, the are the least aggressive fish in my tank. I guess time will tell if they end up being jerks later. Hopefully, my larger tank size is why they are very docile.

cant catch the exact name of the slug. How is it spelled?

Great episode!!!

Very helpful! Thanks!

That happened to my red head wrasse, he couldn’t swim right. Broke my girlfriend’s heart.

I have a 2 yr old 12 gallon tank with a pistol and watchmen. What should be the last fish I add I want it to have personality.

Talking about cheap fish for a reef tank with great personality. I love my little green spot puffer! 🐡

Is the pink striped wrasse a good alternative to a six line. Also how do you feel about the sea grass or emerald wrasse?

great talk. would love to see more in the series. I found it quite difficult when starting out to find a good overview of all the different fish in the hobby and which are good together, tank size, considerations etc. especially since stocking list should be done so early on in a build.

I do got a question about watchmen do you have to add the pistol at the same time or can you add them at different times? What’s best for pairing them I got a watchman in qt now.

I don't have a butterfly but my multibar angel has the spikes on its head similar to butterflies and I'm surprised they really do deter other fish from being aggressive. Pretty cool stuff

My sunrise dottyback has been a sweetheart. I did get sent an indigo dottyback when I ordered an orchid (ocean devotion why?!) And the indigo is indeed aggressive.

Watching now, at the damsel section and man you nailed it with the aggression with other damsels, the dumb ambon damsel I'm stuck with is a jerk. My kupang and my lemon damsel are pretty chill tho.
