The Hanna Salinity Checker is the best thing ever, but remember to calibrate once a month! I forgot, and it almost cost me, salinity was way down. Not making that mistake again! :)

[michaelross]

I need a probe thing for mine I think for salinity checker

[Astralocean]

I didn’t even mean to be early on the video. I just discovered the channel and went to see what other vids y’all had and saw this was uploaded like a minute ago lol

Ok, @ 5:26 you say ‘a lot of new hobbyist have a problem with green hair algae’
What are new hobbyist doing wrong to get green hair algae?

And then what are you doing differently to prevent or eliminate green hair algae?

[karennation]

WOW! Your with BRs now! Awesome! Does anyone really do weekly water changes? is every two weeks sufficient! Who want to bring out buckets and mix salt and all that and literally make a mess of my kitchen lol. and den where my tanks are. Maybe people that have automatic water changers but I just dont see people doing that and you guys used to say every two weeks! My tank is 5 and 3 years old though but even in the beginning it was 2 weeks! Also what about the sheeet of that stuff that comes osfwalls, arent you supposed to get it out of the tank. I use a net and a turkey baster depending on where it lands!

[joshgrove]

Why wouldnt you add salt the day before? So, it can mix all night?

[real_cade]

My only question is do I just add rodi freshwater if like 1-2” of water has evaporated over the course of 2 weeks or so ? And not just add saltwater back in ? No Coral here just fish

[michaelbaldwin]

How often is it recommended to calibrate the Hanna salinity checker?

[jamesmcfarlandiv]

Wow thought that was your voice. Congratulations! Well yes I'll take that pay raise😄 But did you get a new office tank?

[leroycline]

So do you test before or after water change?

[fishstix]

I also heard there are some people that don't siphon their sanded and leave if for sand sifting critters. When do you want to siphon the sand vs. when don't you?

[ryanwells]

When was last time that tank was serviced? With algae on glass?

[fishstix]

for testing, I know you want to test before your water change, but how soon after your water change should you test again to see if the levels have been corrected?

[tevosify]

Nubie here. What is the orange coral. It is so beautiful

[josephcruz]

Lol been using winded for 1 year in my SW and 10y FW damn

[alexvids]

I let my tds go to 10 before swapping out my filters. 10 is hardly anything.

[gonefishing]

I got a wtf moment, why is whatever is in your phosban reactor in a bag in a reactor?
