Is there a window of water temperature I should have my copepod breeder tank?

Hi, I started/ cycled a 40 tall salt reef with copapods and chaeto fuge/sump with mirical mud from day one, new BRS rock, and all. I never had the diatom/new tank syndrome or any algea blooms. I added fish and corals inside a month.

So what I’m hearing is seeding a tank with copopods is a good idea, if you’re using sterile rock and dipping all your corals. But adding a bunch is not useful. I love when people are educational <3

Jake Adams had a talk at MACNA or aquashella where he talked about water flow. It’s an entire talk just about proper water flow AT the coral instead of in open water like so many of us do in our tanks. Great vid

Does this scale linearly? So for a large mixed reef/sps dominant tank, say 1,400 gallons (12'x4'x4') you'd recommend 140,000 GPH for total flow? It would most likely require closed loop circulation to achieve that. If you wanted to use a quality pump like Abyzz, even using their most powerful pump the A1200IPU, you'd need 11 of them to hit 140,000 GPH. They are about $6700 each, so that's a total of $73,700 in pumps. Is this how you'd go about providing flow in such a tank? Also, what about if you're using fine grain sand bed? With that type of flow, it seems like it'd be hard to not cause a perpetual sand storm.

the advent of better filtration has caused an issue with sterility and lack of biodiveristy. for me, i got dinos bad cause my filtration was too good, too much. i ended up finally beating them with forced diatom blooms outcompeteing them and by dosing silicates, bacteria, and pods. just so you know, there is lots of anecdotal evidence that pods eat dinos, but only one species has been proven to seek out dinos and eat them. ACARTIA pods. they have not only studies on this but even video of the pods eating dinos.

@bawalker0219 7 ай бұрын
I really like the research that BRS did on microbiome and understanding how they out compete each other. Adding the bacteria is not maturation. It's introducing diversity to compete with the ugly phase. BRS also say to add not only the bacteria from a bottle but to mature you live rock in the dark prior to even setting up the tank and turning on SPS level lighting... cool... that's what I did with my tank.
@Soleshaker1 7 ай бұрын
I totally disagree, the addition of the copepods is as a food source for everything in the tank, we have a tendency to overstock our aquariums with livestock and the resident population of pods just cannot reproduce quickly enough. The addition of a copepod population is undoubtedly a benefit for any system. Feeding phytoplankton is also a great way to keep a healthy biome.

@bruhman8005 7 ай бұрын
I think the big misconception comes from the idea that years ago many of the best SPS reef tanks ,arguably better than today, were known to have undetectable nitrates. However, what people do not realize is that older test kits that were often not geared towards aquariums anyway, could not accurately test low levels or low detection of these nutrients. Thus, 0 for them was likely 10 to 15 pp nitrates.

Yeah you need to watch the video series that brs made. You’re giving conflicting info. Brs is one of the most hardest working contributors to the hobby. Visual evidence does it for me. Copepods DO eat diatoms. It’s no coincidence

That’s not necessarily what he is saying. He is just saying don’t buy them. He is saying, he could make money off of them but doesn’t feel right off of selling things that make their way into the tank anyway. Unlike BRS, who has pushed and sold products that don’t really work or is needed. Now that the company has sold BRS’s content has gone down hill and Seems to be in competition with Ryan one of the founders of the company. Watch out sales in this game is all about snake oil, and this guy is saying don’t fall for it. It’s a billion dollar industry with “influencer”/ sales people like everything on KZbin

Do they need 3 hour acclimation time? Thats what reefs4less says! Also do they eat bergia nudis and how about soft corals? I have one ordered and these thing I read have me concerned! Love the yellow and the fact they eat bristle worms and definite bonus if they eat bergia. I was aslo worried that I dont have a real deep sand bed but yours doesn't seen very deep so I guess he/she will be fine!

Thank you for making this video! It is such hard work and expense taking care of a goldfish properly! Massive bioload and that's why people starve them. Do a goldfish a favor, and don't take one home unless you are ready to dedicate much of your free time and spending money! You'll be doing yourself a favor also. Sad but true, fortune cookies give better advice than pet store workers. Never go by what they tell you.
@matthewgrossman4032 8 ай бұрын
I would agree to a point. I am getting back into the hobby after 10 years absence. Years ago live rock was shipped in and tanks were cycled. Now aquariums are started with more sterile rock, bacterial vials, and hope. So I do think there is something to jump starting a tank with a diverse population of copepods. They are found naturally but so many of our tanks anymore are sterile and rank raised that I find it hard to believe they are not helpful.
@shaggy3255 6 ай бұрын

@TheNotehead 5 ай бұрын
I think the BRS series kind of supported the point made in this video. Looking at all the different tanks BRS used in their experiement that had all sorts of problems, they put in tons of copepods and the tanks took various paths but months later nearly all of them still looked pretty horrible because the populations of pods and algae and planaria, etc., all just keep exploding and crashing. By the time things settle out into some kind of equilibrium, it seems that ugly undesirable stuff is inevitably part of the balance. But we see lots of tanks everywhere that are not full of hair algae or diatoms and I still don't see a natural, self-sustaining solution to maintaining a tank that looks like that.
