I miss Ryan and his purest motivations. And I miss the Ryan + Randy days more. There was a 5-6 year period there when BRS cracked the code, created a market, helped enlighten many people’s lives, got people through COVID, and seemed to have fun while doing it. They need a HBR case written on them.

[yoshu]

Ryan cut the mane! We all miss Randy, but Elliot will settle in and before we know it, he'll be impressing everyone just like Randy did. Good luck!

[matmalette]

Elliot is so much more at ease as it goes! Very nice to see you grow and this is great information.

[adamargondizzo]

Furan-2 seems to be discontinued, is there an alternative treatment?

[philipmosher]

Great videos; very helpful! What would be an alternative for the Furan-2 as this product seems to be currently banned in Canada?

[dusk]

Nice, thank you.
I was most looking forward to seeing actual treatment protocols.
Any chance BRS might put a pdf version or article on the website for reference?

[techhr]

maybe an idea, name alternate products. prazi and copper power are not available everywhere, for instance in europe can bea difficult, or name the active component so it can be matched with a simular products for the method. nice work , Good series to help people do this better and lower the failure rate of adding fish to their tank.

[ReefDork]

Elliot reminds me a LOT of Joseph Gordon-Levitt!

Fish Tank Hobbyist here 😮! Just did this…..FYI… it works! Holler at me y’all!

[glennanderson]

I'm a newbie to the hobby, which seems so much more expensive here in the UK, for obvious reasons I s'pose, but I wish to begin the hobby and hope never to give it up, despite climbing electric prices. I will begin with a quarantine tank, as the parts are relatively cheap to acquire, but needs to be there along with more extras than the cast of Ben Hur. Your films are so informative, and I would never have thought about this pastime were it not for your instruction and the like of New York Steelo - all those years ago. Thank you all! VBW x

[forx]

More fish tank information needs to be distributed this way

Great video

[melaniesimpson]

Just received a beautiful trio of Anthias from Elliot! Glad to have him QT for now, but you guys make this look pretty easy for me in the future. Thanks for the info!!

[johndarcy]

Furan 2 appears to be a discontinued product. Can you recommend an alternative?

[grassyfarms]

I run ammonia filter pads if you change them daily it does everything we need and use black bins so the fish don’t stress by being able to see you has saved so many of my butterflies and tangs

[andrewborchers]

Man this is much more helpful than just saying do this or that.

[MiddleAgedMike]

Wish I would have had this years ago. But thanks for making this clear and digestible for a QT layman like myself.

[ReRe-yldq]

Ryan please mention feeding while in QT also!

[radiolotek]

@brs There is so much conflicting information out there about copper and what it leaches into can you please take a moment and touch on that. For example, I've had people say the tank I just bought that had copper ran in it before is now ruined for anything but fish only as the copper will have leaches into the overflow piping and even the silicone seams and then leach back into the water. Then other people say that's not true and to just rinse and clean it good and it'll be fine.
I can't find anywhere that firmly states anything on it. Just people arguing back and forth about it.
Thanks.

Great video! A tip is that you can buy a 20gallon tank and just put a mark for 10 gallons in the side. This will allow you to save water when you are only doing one or two fish. Btw I dont think Furan 2 (dont think the chemical is allowed) is not available in Europe do you have any recommendations for alternatives?

[kate]

Doesn’t look like BRS carries Furan-2 or a Nitrofurazone alternative. Checked both my LFS and the typical box box stores and nothing there either. Any suggestions on where to source it?
