"Thats actually not bad" would be a great T-shirt 😂😂😅

Honestly I was thinking you didn’t have nearly enough fish. lol. My 220 has a ton of fish and they all seem super happy. Just make sure you feed them often. Bioload should be able to be controlled by increasing light time on the chaeto and skimmer time? I suppose I use a filter roller and that strips a ton of nutrients out of the water so my nutrients are always low. But I also had to rehome my blue hippo because she was eating my torches.

Classic...I was watching you about to cut it cringing hoping you would notice but then... snip...Looks heaps better now anyway, got to keep them short and stocky.Look at WWC mangrove, pretty much a topiarized ball. Best looking mangrove i have seen.

I think you are either going to get a larger tank, or dedicate that tank solely to the mangrove, and animals that live in that ecosystem. As I think you have to competing ecosystems in that 17 gallon, each with different needs, that may not be able to be met in such a small space.

You stull runnin the bucket???

Very cool video. fiy: it's pronounced bone-sigh, not bon-zi

AWesome! To be honest, the shorter you can cut the branches the better the tree will look, EVentually. Bonsai is a long game. I let my trees extend 8-9 leaves and then I cut back to the first leaf, shortening the branch drastically. Think at least 5 years into future. It was a good cut, trust me! This technique is called clip-and-grow. Takes longer than wiring but yields much better and natural looking results.

Awesome plants!!

Did you ever find that OG bounce in your tank?

Oh don't feel bad about that cut on a tree. Bonsai people often make accidental cuts that take off unintended branches, and sometimes even snap branches and trunks while bending them. If your tree is healthy, and you haven't done something that the physiology of that tree can't deal with (like cut behind all the living foliage of a branch for some species), it will be fine. Haven't grown mangroves before myself, but what you've done doesn't appear seriously damaging in any way. Remember, they live in places with cyclones/hurricanes/typhoons and evolved to take all that force head on, with nothing else sheltering them. Losing a branch here and there isn't a massive drama.

Honored to be able to help you out. I remember watching the video when you first got this mangrove. Love the way it looks now, even with the happy accident. Can’t wait to see how you shape the canopy for the future! Happy Reefing.

Just bob ross it and it’s a happy mistakes

What the other guy said about grabbing a drink^

yuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh IR vid. im down, lemme grab a drink.

Mangrove Mangrove Mangrove, you got me hooked sorry I can't help myself they're the best damn plant.

I just grabbed one today! Hopefully my ocean surgeon is nice

Cool, I just ordered that same 5lb jug of soda lime for air scrubbing my office. No more sleepy time for this guy!

Mr. Julian Sprung is the Godfather of Reefing in the USA. Ive been using his salt for the past 6 years with ZERO issues. It’s always on point with the claimed parameters.

What name was the substrate?

Wait is that an anemone next to the frogspawn?!

So just a wave maker can create enough oxygen to keep the corals and clowns alive? Sorry for the dumb question just tought a return pump is needed or a airstone

The zinc is what I see

You are so good at catching fish! LOL Can you come and catch my blenny? lol I lost my favorite gorgeous fish which believe it or not was a figi blue devil damsel! I though he was agressive but now I relize he wasnt at all for a damsel! I bought him as a baby and was last to go in, but he was alone for about a year and was aggresive towards other fish. Anyway i caught him and put in my sum and the day I go to get him to transfer to frag tank that just finished cycling he was dead :( I think it was from the water change day b4. It hit me hard! I loved that fish and I feel like i murdered him! Now I have a baby talsot which is in the top 3 least aggresive damsels and this baby is meaner then he was! If he wouldnt have died I probably would have put him back with the new fish and he would have been fine after a timeout! Actually thinking hard of getting another but might not be so lucky next time because he is considered an aggressive damsel! He would be one of the last to go in but want to get two more that I will get at same time because of shipping fees!

This is a great video showing what stops a tank in its tracks a year down the road

I followed your lead on the salt. I researched the salt and found out Jack Adam’s used to use this salt in the studio. I am not fully sold on reef crystal for my AWC and Julian said since the water is balanced we should not see any residue, that’s a plus.

I’ve had great success with peps removing Aiptasia, however they’ve now turned on my fireworks clove polyps and zoas 😢 Time to catch ‘em and move them to my shrimp city pico.

Looks like the prices have jumped a bit since this video, though your promo code still works! Was it described as a "wireless" monitor utilizing 2.4 GHz networks when you reviewed it? How has it help up?

😍💖

I've been looking to update the top cover of my Biocube to a mesh one. Any knowledge on where can I get one? Is a 32g Biocube. Thanks!

I started in this hobby in 2002 and everything I read about housing tangs was that you needed a six foot tank so they can have plenty of swimming space and that will cut down on their stress. Has this train of thought been changed for 2024?

You should leave a link to the trap! You are always catching fish! lol

Plus putting milk in mite not help bro hahaha

Vic is the GOAT

You really need to send out a aquabiomics test. You recently put some macro algae and peppermint shrimps in from algae barn. I know some of their stock comes from florida and florida reefs are plagued with stony coral tissue loss disease. Ive had the same disease( confirmed by aquabiomics) and i also noticed stuff looked better after water change but quickly reverted back to corals dying. If and when you do the test. Dose amoxicillin and cipro for 7 days

Water change!

Those tips you got are on point. You’ll enjoy the tank more if you clean the glass and keep your sand bed debris free.

Coral that rtn release chemical might cause other coral to get upset or even corals feel attacked cause of it

Do you have a 3-D printer, do you like it? I was thinking about getting one.

More water changes!! Less neglecting the tanks sand bed and should bounce right back! I do weekly 100g water changes on my 800g setup so picture that salt cost 😂

Water change and dosing phyto really helps in my tank. Corals look happier.

A nice bit of forest fire digi would be nice to break up the colour a bit and not difficult to keep.

Looks good for now and if it does get worse, a tank restart could be enjoyable. It’s nice to work out the kinks after enduring a few learning curves. Thanks for the update!

I want a copperband, but seems too risky with a clam.

His chicken analogy reminded me of how I explain reef tank differences to my clients....I simply tell them you are building a hot rod and no two hot rods are exactly the same....with testing you can tune your hot rod for your track conditions and success

My copperband butterfly ate acanthos, bubble coral, cynarinas, fox coral, and scolys. Before that he cleared the tank from aptasia that I had a problem with. I am sure he would eat a clam too :D

i been watching from almost the beginning i stared a saltwater tank cause of you

Thank you for your videos. I find them very helpful as I get back into the hobby.

Bro I've just started watching you over last week or so I've been watching your really old videos from like 1 to 4 years ago hahaha it just spin me out to see your tank now this is the frist time I've seen any off your newer videos hahaha I love your tanks and You knowledge is really good it really makes me want to try a reef tank so badly. And you are so entertaining to watch keep up the good work brother and I just noticed what happened to Purple tang??

Awesome video man early gang!

Update pretty please
