Love the snail with the GSP growing on its shell.

There is one more thing that really helps me:
Clean the Glass in the evening right before or after the light goes out. Since I do it that way, I have at least 2-3 Days more time until I need to clean it again.

Hello! Im a super big fan of you guys, These videos make my days so Much better! Now om going to try farming coral at the age of 14 years old. I have experimented With my saltwater tank to get the best growth and color on my sps, lps and softies. I Will do everything in my power to become a marine biologist. Just a big thank you from me, i have actually solved a LOT of problems using your videos

Your’s sincerely Emil Varga from sweden😃

That new tank look when you finally clean the glass though 👌

[Firefenex]

Great stuff! If yall ever venture into solving coral species specific problems, please do "zoa color loss" first lol

There's a feeding technique that I use which seem to prevent uneaten food. And that's to pre-soak the food in a small glass bowl until it sinks, suck it up into a pipette and release it right in front of my clownfish's face. Since he's able to see all the food, he scarfs it down and barely misses a single pellet!

[haymatr]

That was a good and easily understandable tutorial for beginners keep it up

Dear Ryan and Randy, I've been watching your superb films for 6 years now, I wish to keep my first tank, a cube, with clownfish and appropriate corals, the thing is chaps, I'm in a wheelchair, my arms are fine and I can kneel on the seat for short periods what difficulties do you envisage for me and other wheelchair users? I would never have contemplated marine fish keeping, if it weren't for your informed, innovative, inspirational, ideas, I thank you for the time and effort that these films must have taken, hopefully, it's $$developed your business!

Please can you tell me what that soft coral on the right hand side of the screen at 05:35.

Really appreciated the video!

Yeah, My Shop told me to get a bunch of snails.. They did clean up but it wasn't pristine. I got used to having them in the tank i kinda like them in there now. I can get away with cleaning the glass when i do my weekly water change.. I did add a bag of Chemi pure in the sump. which made the algae that DID grow a lot easier to remove . I am going to try the Light Management solutions also. since i have a FO(Fish Only) tank. I do like that "Food defroster" Gizmo..
Thanks Boys.

i’m gonna be honest scraping the glass is really satisfying

[joenewman]

I use a single edge razor blade cuts thru anything especially coralline algae

[patrickboivin]

With the new data on Vibrant not being an algea eating bacteria, should you issue a warning on this video?

[AJ-bins]

UV hands down, made the biggest difference in time between glass cleaning for me.

That said, we should embrace the chore that is cleaning glass. It is generally indicative of a healthy tank. Spotless glass = lack of nutrient in my experience.

[spicyreef]

I was always afraid to scratch the glass if I used a blade 🙂

[jeromec]

Hello, thank you for all your videos. Question: What is the best way to clean micron bag ? Because it's a mess to clean it by hand ?

[colevoncole]

6ft ladder and 10 pack of sponges with rough sides I use them in my acrylic300 tank cause all those magnets are good for is scratching acrylic I do this once a month takes about 25 mins

I love your videos guys, I’m new into reefing and I’m in the middle of constructing my 60g cube. I’ve had to re-drill the tank and make a custom overflow box, remove the trickle filter system and I’ve installed a sump. Inside the sump is a diy filter cup, a skimmer, a refugium, marine cure bricks, ceramic media, a carbon reactor and a UV. I intend to do a fish less cycle using dr tims in a few weeks once my aqua scape of dry rock is complete and my dosing system arrives, I plan on dosing 2 part and housing torch corals with fish. my question for you guys is do I use my UV steriliser when cycling my tank to prevent an algae bloom? Or will this kill off the good bacteria? Thank you guys so much for all your knowledge! And keep up the good work. Your videos are most helpful

hi what can you recommend when the glass is 3 cm thick greetings Martin Denmark

I don't have problem with green algae in my red sea max nano but I have to clean my tank glass every 2 days as there is always a heavy build up of a reddish slime on the glass which i can remove very easily with scraper but it grows so fast it's become a real pain, tanks been running for about a year now I have 3 small fish 1 shrimp and a few hermits crabs and snails and a tuxedo urchin - i have a bag of carbon and geophos in the rear tank flow as well but I can't seem to stem this slime problem - any ideas please ?
