Don't Make These Reef Keeping Mistakes - Sanjay Joshi Reef Tank

[@zanimal4u]

Glad I caught this video! This was such a revelation to my 35yrs (since '87) of keeping Marine tanks.. Glad I am not the only one to have had these issues, and still do occasionally;( I have also tried to engineer my system, equipment and myself to be redundant, or kill-proof. I also had a temp probe failure on a controller and temperatures went up unnoticed with no alarms on apex controller. Thankfully I had second temp probe on system and manually/ visually caught it before system exceeded 82°.. So I am not the only one to have learned Redundancy in this hobby;) And trust nothing to far.. Even my own reasoning and deductions, are still in question, as some things are just still "an unknown". THANK YOU!! And Jake Adams too for intro!

Hey! Don’t make me older than I am. 87 at the time of this video was 34 years ago

[@zanimal4u]

@@jmdelira87To be correct: I started my first marine tank Summer of 85 in my first apartment;) So it is 35yrs as of today:) '87 to '22 is 35yrs + 1.5yrs = 36.5yrs I have been keeping marine critters.. Sorry time flies and am not liking the fact that I am 55 in 90 days either.. which means I have been keeping fish as pets for almost 43years now.. Happy Reefing and New Years to you;)

Thank you for providing this lecture to those of us not in attendance. It’s filled with fantastic points, sound / practical advice, and a humble approach from someone who is often an icon of this hobby. Fantastic presentation.

I remember the start of Sanjays 180 and 500 gallon build back as a kid few decades ago, its always nice seeing his tanks.

[@TheGabrielberki]

Yeah! Sanjay rules! Awesome spokesperson for the hobby.

[@Ellery-USA]

I have a lot of similar experiences as Sanjay in the last 25 years in the hobby but I still love the hobby.

[@thearmy88ify]

Really should write a book/guide for generations to come. Thanks Sanjay

Master in his element

[@MrDon967]

awesome to see Sanjay talk again. wish he would make some more uploads. exact reason why i don't want a sea cucumber. also the same reason i don't want any anemones either. don't want any single organism with the potential to kill everything else

[@MrDon967]

hehe nice he doesn't do anenomes either in main dt

Great video, keep it up!🐠🐬💯

All so true! Great talk.

Great informative video. Just a note, peppermint shrimp are great with aiptasia rid my tank and sump of aiptasia population of biblical proportions and acted as scavengers once the aiptasia problem was resolved.

[@kiddt1999]

How about bubble algae? Emerald crab??

@@raimundosantana I have an aggressive shrimp killing wrasse. The peppermint shrimps became nocturnal when the wrasse would go into the sand. Some shrimp of course were food items but a some did not and I would see them on a nocturnal schedule.

Wow nice info from him

Great Talk!

Nice presentation.

[@philcavallini9657]

My tank is over three years old, I started it with live rock and some pukani rock from a buddy of mine but I agree live rock makes a massive difference and these sort rox/sand is causing all of these new bacterial plagues that we never dealt with back in 1996!

[@sunnygoold9449]

The one and only thing I have in common with Dr Joshi - a cucumber got stuck in my pump and nuked all my fish (I watched them go and moved them all into my (colder) QT and only my purple tang survived. Besides the horror and the expense, I have a really hard time where I live getting many of the fish on my list (8 hours later I finally discovered what happened). It's just a horrible experience and I researched the cucumber and was told they are excellent additions to an ecosystem. I miss the job it did ;) But in the panic I had no idea what was going on. I thought I was going to lose my whole tank.

[@anniejefferson4642]

Great

[@bradbellomo6896]

You mentioned UV for dinoflagellates. Did you mean UV lights (like 390nm LEDs) or a UV sterilizer?

[@atfinthehouse8631]

Doctor - PhD or Physician? Lots of experience here. Nice presentation. Not sure people getting into the hobby want to spend the dollars to have mistakes and negative experiences. They want fool proof, reasonable cost set up, easiest maintenance and least complexity possible.

Got that on re-review - PhD Professional Engineering

I don't think Sanjay knows wtf Jake is talking about with that statement lmao

[@MACNTOSFAM]

RIP jake adams 😢

[@jutangkeetch]

Is reef keeping worth it?

[@monsteryoon5845]

Depends

[@apdroidgeek1737]

Reef keeping isnt really a necessary thing to do, i think what you should be asking is, do you like fish/corals to the point that you would want to spend money on it.

[@adambahe9309]

I stopped keeping livestock in my SPS tank. Ultimately I wanted a tank full of amazing SPS coral. No more fish. I refuse to buy sea cucumbers for this very reason. I refuse to buy clams. I refuse to buy zooanthids. It is SO MUCH easier growing SPS when all you have in the tank is SPS and snails.

[@mahmoudtaha7245]

Man you are letting go everything in your tank 😂

[@bobbyknox9258]

Not sure I agree with if you dont make mistakes you don't learn anything. Tell that to pilots 😳. Learn from others mistakes is far better and cheaper. Good talk though
