This video is like a return to my older vlog days, plenty of topics to cover and we experience them together. I introduced a Harlequin Shrimp to the 135g reef tank (again), now that the wrasse is out of the system. I also had the pleasure of welcoming back my Reef Sensei Jim @telegraham; we […]
Melanurus Wrasse, usually a fantastic utility fish in most reef aquarium — unfortunately is being rehomed in my case, due to a very specific set of circumstance. I am currently battling Aiptasia (and Asterina Starfish, to a lesser extend); Aiptasia Eating Filefish has not yielded any result, nor has F-Aiptasia provided any long-term win. As […]
Somehow, we managed to catch 6 fish from both the 135g and 17g reef tank by either fish trap, night attacks, and ripping the reef tank apart ungracefully. Regardless of method, the task is done. They are all now living their best lives in their respective aquariums; although a bit of a kicker… after 3 […]
Couple big events occurred this month — new corals, added the finishing touch to the 135g system’s theme, and a new baby. It has been a whirlwind of events and I am glad that you are here with me to witness them! DIY Cloud – Large (Amazon): https://amzn.to/3zTIW77 DIY Cloud – Medium & Small […]
Molly Miller Blenny, Molly Miller Blenny, ATLANTIC OYSTER BLENNY?! Yep. Your boy got the wrong fish again. Remember that time I was picking up a Yellow Coris Wrasse but ended up with a Silver Bellied Wrasse? As a result… WE’RE GOING HUNTING!! Timestamps: 0:00 My Molly Miller Blenny is actually a Atlantic Oyster Blenny 1:33 […]
This week we put the $10 DIY fish acclimation box to use when we introduced a Molly Miller Blenny to the 135g system to tackle the growing aiptasia issue. While the blenny has not touched the aiptasia anemone yet (that I could see), I remain hopeful due to it’s fantastic reputation of pest control and […]
CO2 Scrubber, DIY Acclimation Box, NEW Gonipora, Alveopora, Zoas, Soft Corals, DIY Controller Board.
So much happened this week, too much. First, I build a fish acclimation box out of spare aquarium-specific egg crates (https://amzn.to/3kQYqQd), next, I bought and installed the IceCape CO2 Scrubber (https://amzn.to/3cbk0eg), and finally, the Aiptasia Eating Filefish was rehomed and I picked up my mini-raffle winning plus more, thanks to the generosity of the local […]
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 […]
After years of seeing the Majano Wand being advertised and some reefers swearing by it, I finally took the plunge and bought one from Amazon (https://amzn.to/30t480E)! The result? Works great if you could get to the whole Aiptasia, otherwise the Aiptasia will most likely come back with some friends! However, I think if I could […]
