Inappropriate Reefer February 7, 2021

Amphidinium Dinoflagellates, be gone! After a solid two months of effort, dino is no more… until the next imbalance, I am sure. In the meantime, here is a document of what worked for me and what did not, YMMV depending on the type of dino you have going on in your tank. Best wishes to […]

Mastertronic from Focustronic is the newest contender in the automated water testing arena for reef tanks. I have run the Alkatronic and Dosetronic since the early days of the 135g build with solid results and reliability, so I welcomed the release of the Mastertronic with open arms! While there are a few UI tweaks to […]

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. […]

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 […]

No no no noo nooo nooooo Emerald Crab & Peppermint Shrimp?! (Unboxing Reefcleaners.org order)

With bubble algae and aiptasia showing up again in both tanks (never ending battle?), I have once again went back to square one in looking for a biological control. After hearing from multiple reefers that reefcleaners.org offers a “money back guarantee” that their Emerald Crabs would eat bubble algae, I have decided to place an […]

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 […]

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 […]

Sad start of the week as I lost the $50 PetCo clam that I got from the 2018 Reef-a-Palooza in NJ/NY. It was one of the few animals that I carried over from the 45g cube tank. Not sure on what happened but I have a guess or two. Second part of the video is […]

The Dark Hobby? Acan overexposure! PAR readings around the tank! Coral UV Glasses?!

Lots of random topics to cover today: a documentary by Snorkel Bob is supposed to be coming out called “The Dark Hobby”. From what I understand, it will take a very critical look at the ornamental fish aquarium trade. I share some quick initial thoughts in this video. That aside, I attempted to increase the […]
