Outstanding information. I've been having issues with my sps dominated tank in terms of algae, growth, and coloration. The tank is about six months old so I'm hoping things begin to turn around. Subscribed!

Yeah I totally agree with this...I have to admit that I use a pipit to spot feed my swalsei basslet. My tank is 2 feet tall and he stays in the bottom rock area and is not quite bold enough to come to the top to get food before everyone else grabs it! I wish I kept my hands out of the water more tho

As a newbie to the reef tanks I am trying very hard to keep my hands out of the tank. I do a quick tour of the sump area everyday, there are some parts I simply do not have a trust relationship built with yet.... As in the ATO! haha With such a small system I check my salinity daily and have saltwater mixed in a just in case situation!

What camera & streaming software do you use for the live stream of the tank?

2:40 freaked me out a little, because it looks exactly like what my screen looks like as of writing this. Same forum, same desktop picture, same window size. Lol

When you say slightly dirty tank. What levels of no3 and po4 are you meaning?
