We all know it’s coming, the eventual takedown of the Inappropriate Reefer 45g Reef Tank. This tank has been through a lot and started this whole Youtube channel. I have grown tremendously as a hobbyist through maintaining this reef and I am forever grateful. This 45g tank is now living with a passionate local hobbyist, […]
So, here we are again, at the end of a century. Here is an update to the leaky 45g situation. While looking for solutions to the 150g’s bubble in the silicon seam, I was introduced to a product from Aquarium Munster to reinforce the silicon seals from the wet side. This video showed my poor […]
Yes, it happened. The old 45g finally sprung a leak at the seam and started leaking. In the midst of freaking out, Eat Sleep Reef came to the rescue with a creative solution of using Super Glue and Baking Soda! IDEALLY, I would use silicon to reseal the entire tank, but that would mean draining […]
Typically the most frequently asked parameter of a reef tank is the level of Alkalinity; however, it has become apparent that the level of Nitrate and Phosphate also have a very direct impact of the corals’ health! Today I want to show you my struggle with 0 Nitrate and 0 Phosphate, and how I determine […]
Ever since the beginning of this 45g tank, the theme has always been Clownfish + Sea Anemone. Although the ultimate anemone I had in mind was a Magnificent Anemone due to their size, apparently Bubble-tip Anemone could get to a similar size! So in a way, this tank is simply full-filling it’s destiny and achieving […]
After doing the bare minimum to keep my reef tanks running for more than 2 months, I was able to find time to do a top to bottom deep cleaning of the tanks! In terms of the 45g, it has been overrun by bubble algae and the Vortech MP10 and Maxspect Gyre were not pretty. […]
This is long overdue and one of the more frequently requested video!

The 45g Mixed Reef has been problematic and it was tough nailing down exactly what was causing the issue. It could be the light, the water parameter, the fish, coral warfare, or in this case, metal in the water… or a mixture of multiple issues. This video showed how I did an ICP test and […]
Emerald Crab has always been suggested as a stable of a healthy reef tank’s clean-up crew, but the more people I talk to, the more I realized how many of them “go rogue” in a reef tank once food becomes scarce (usually after they “fixed” the problem). After seeing a rapid decline of my fleshy […]
Not a happy update. My female Yasha Goby jumped half-way through the 1/8″ meshtop, got stuck, and passed away. This has happened once before with a Ruby Dragonet. I will be exploring better screen top / glass top option going forward. — Follow me on Instagram @inappropriatereefer Connect on FB @ Inappropriate Reefer Email me: […]
