If you order one of the Reef Casa tanks the packaging is great. Mine came in a box with padding attached to the outside corners of the tank, inside an interior box, and then that box had corner padding as well between it and the outside box. Short of someone puncturing the box with a forklift or really abusing the hell out of it, it should survive shipping anywhere.

IMO, emphasis should be placed on flow. Often time it will take care of so many of the nutrient problems you’ve mentioned and promotes a healthier reef overall. Easy to add, difficult to master. Thanks very much for the video and the info. It’s always good to hear from the experienced!

I got 5:48 in and had to turn the video off because you moved the camera so much I almost threw up. Thanks for the info I did get.

I ordered Flux RX from bulk reef and it works great! and got rid of hair algae quick

I had hair algae and bryopsis in my 50 gal frag tank, nutrient was also low and only thing that worked was reef flux.. completely cleaned the hair algae by day 14.

I beat bryopsis with manual removal, took a year of tooth brushing the whole 10g tank every week with a 20% water change, it’s not for the weak!!

Yes light grows algae, cutting back on the light will only slow the growth. There is far more issues going on if you think the light is causing the algae. My tank is kissed with very high end plant grow lights and I don't have any issues. Most likely your over dosing and feeding your tank.

ADHD adhd adhd adhd, you said you’d let the algae grow and then do a video two days ago. I too struggle with adhd. So clean it up my friend. Lol

Avoid using Vibrant. I had lots of issues with cyano and all kinds of imbalance after using it. I would also notice my snails would die once I started using it, On one occasion it crashed my tank. BRS stopped carrying it.

Digz and Tia in the video today too 🥰❤️🔥🔥 FragBox is the BEST!

Issues in our reef tanks are always so dang multifaceted. So rarely are issues caused by one or two factors

[KentuckyReef]

Vibrant, they said it was natural bacteria but it’s an algaecide/algicide

[MACNTOSFAM]

algae in general exists because there’s light & there’s water. however much you test, algae exists in different forms, and that includes diatoms.

[SparkyHelper]

Something I learned a while back. No nitrates on your test means you have no excess. Nitrate production on the other hand could be high and just below what the algae are able to immediately consume thus showing little to nothing on the test. Happy Reefing ya'll

If ur lookin for a smaller powerhead/wavemaker look at the hygger mini wavemaker theure great lil pumps super small slim form factor and create plenty of flow they even have a bigger one i habe both i use the bigger one to provide most of the flow in my 28gal and it creates enough flow for sps amd its very wide flow pattern as well u can have a coral an inch in fromt of it but 4-6in to the side and it still gets nlasted I absolutely love them and seem very high quality and for a clntrollable mini wavemaker theyre priced well too u can get 2yr protection plan for them on eBay or amazon theyre jus simply awesome and i cant think of hearing anything bad about them besides nitmpicky type things ive only had it for anout 8mo but ive barely cleaned it or messed with jus set it to the flow pattern u like and forget about it only thing i ever do is use the feed button i think i may even buy a few of them to use ln my 75gal to get low from several dotections and plenty of yet with a super low profile look theyre barely noticable compared to most pumps they jus look bettet than the typical style wavemakers like that sicce u held up its more flat looking doesnt stick out so far theure really small but especially the bigfer one it puts out some serious flow for its size i know its not a ‘name brand’ but everythimgnive ever bought that was made by hygger has performed incredibly well yet been affordable best bang for ur buck if ur like me and on a budget or u jus want the small slim form factor of them im a lil of both

Glad to hear you and your customers successfully use vibrant. I got a free one from brs and was too scared to use it. I'm dealing with Dino's as well as other algea right now and once I get rid of the Dino's if I still have serious algae I'll consider dosing the vibrant. Thanks for the helpful video!

It also depends on the water you're using when you mix the salt first of all you got to have a little bit of nitrate and a little bit of phosphate in a reef tank my best advice is to manually take it out and do water changes because if you don't manually take it out it's going to be very hard to get rid of

[m.r.s.aquarium]

The dolabella sea hare is the best algae eater ever--i have 2 tanks and move it back and forth and it takes good care of my 2 tanks--its awesome

I have a refugium in the middle of my reef casa 24 works great!
