Originally this video was only going to be a documentary of me hanging the AliExpress Light Bar. But as I receive more question about this light bar, I figure I may as well put my thought down as it is still fresh in my mind. Please keep in mind that this is just one hobbyist’s […]
I have two reef tanks currently, the 135g that has all the bells and whistles attached, and the 17g that has barely any equipment needed for a functional reef tank. They are both enjoyable, so what are the major differences? Timestamps: 0:00 17g Tank Pre-trip walkthrough 2:32 135g Tank Pre-trip walkthrough 5:43 Floria trip (round […]
A long overdue update on the 135g mixed reef tank after the crash earlier this year. I have tried my best to clear out space so the tank is not as overcrowded… alas, corals are reclaiming the freed space already, so it looks like a Fall Cleaning is in order. We also take a sneak […]
A lot has changed in the 135g mixed reef tank since the last time we really talked about it. Most interestingly, after swearing off soft corals in this tank, I found myself adding more and more softies into this system, I guess I do have a soft spot for soft corals! Aside from the new […]
IT’S DONE! With the 135g MODE Aquariums plumbed and filled, we are finally back at the same spot as we were with the ill fated 150g. For gluing the PVC pipes, I used Oatey Fusion Single Step Clear Medium PVC Cement that I picked up from Home Depot. This PVC cement is much more forgiving […]
Time flies when we are having fun! It has been almost a month since we last talked about the 135g reef aquarium – let’s catch up. We also take a look at the Hanna Instruments Nitrate HR Checker HI782 to see if it lives up to the glowing reviews! Products used in this video: Hanna […]
135g Reef Update: $10 DIY Acclimation Box, Emerald Crab vs Bubble Algae & Peppermint Shrimp vs Aiptasia results! In an effort to improve the DIY reef aquarium fish acclimation box, I started again with a fully acrylic container, instead of from egg crates. This time around, I went with the recommendations of using a Kritter […]
In this update of the 135g tank, we have added a McCosker’s Flasher Wrasse from Ocean Garden Reef from the DMV area, as well as adding 7 new Zoanthid frags to the Zoa Garden. Not everything is amazing however, as bubble is back, even after the Vibrant treatment, and I am contemplating the next step. […]
It is a long time coming but we finally address the Xenia issue by scraping them off the rock. Thankfully they are on individual pieces of rock that could be easily removed! We also tackle the Aiptasia issue again by introducing some Berghia Nudibranch I bought from Salty Underground… may they eradicate the pesky little […]
What’s up Reefers! I kept waiting for the “right time” to do a SPS corals update, but the longer I wait, the further that “right time” seems to be, so I figure let’s just drop a video on the topic. Specifically, I want to share what I learned in terms of keeping SPS corals this […]
