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 […]

SECRET Aiptasia eating fish – Molly Miller Blenny!! 😋

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 […]

It has been an amazing week full of corals! I picked up two batches of large coral colonies from local reefers, this includes Micromussa (Acanthastrea), Zoanthid, Hammer, and Leather corals. The star of this week’s video though is definitely the non-assuming Pearly Jawfish that I picked up from… PetCo! Timestamps: 0:00 Micromussa (Acan corals), Hammer […]

With a bit more knowledge under my belt and more confidence in the stability of my system, I finally pulled the trigger on adding a Maxima clam. I have been eyeing @clammania.ig’s live sales on IG for a long time and we even chatted a few times in previous years. The time just seems right. […]

I have avoided talking about dosing since it is a pretty opinionated space with lots of different equally valid options. Finally I feel that I am comfortable with what I am dosing in my system to share my regiments. This is by no means a guide, it is just how I am approaching dosing for […]

Here we go – a proper, long tanks update this week! We tackled the messy aquascape situation in the 135g MODE aquarium, pulled two frags from the Space Invader Pectinia, considered coral placements, and ramping up towards SPS keeping! I talked about everything and seemingly nothing in this video update, lol. Timestamps: 0:00 Overview of […]

Fragging SPS! Zoas randomly melting? Bubble Algae Eaters! Un-happy like a clam?

Short update for this week – we frag up the Goldenrod and Miyagi Tort SPS, celebrate the tangs eating bubble algae, watch in horror as my Molly Miller Blenny pesters the Acans, cry as our baby clams are not the happiest… all things considered though, it was not a terrible week, could have been worse! […]

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 […]

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 […]

$75 AliE Light Bar vs. $460 Ecotech Radion XR15 Pro?

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 […]
