What is Seneye???

[@yasseral-ali921]

Hey BRS team, I have a case of Aiptasia in my tank, and I don't want to add any chemicals or anything of that sort. Can you tell me how can I get rid of it naturally? I have a 20 gallon tank.

@1.48 I noticed a shrimp in the filter sock section any reason for this or has it got there by mistake

[@einsteinsalon1462]

question . should i throw my bio media filter. to fix my amonia ?

[@pjfreak99]

What are those tiny purple fish at 1:32?

[@andeyking]

Could be black cap basslets

Would you recomend running the skimmer while cycling your tank with added bacteria and dry-rock and live sand. If so? With the skimmercup on or of. I ran mine with the cup of and it produced a lot of floating foam in the sump.

[@Daan6661]

jongalt26 thanks man! Lot of different opinions on this subject.

Can we get a high tech nano reef build? Like 10-20 gallons? I have a 125 and am wanting a nano SPS (10 gallon nano fusion) for the office!

[@jeremydowdy1034]

Yes, multiple times haha. I meant like upgrading a fusion. Like what equipment upgrades you guys would do to pump out a nano fusion

[@Pseudomonas38362]

Cool series! i have a question. i have read that having a Black or blue background on your tank has a negative effect on your PAR across the tank. it would be beter to have no background. maybe a cool thing to research.

[@steffanaarts-greven1352]

or maybe adding a shadowbox. Gives your tank a whole new dimension.

BRS, could you sell small vials of salt water that is exactly 420ppm and alk of say 9 for example. That way since we can use that vial as a test we can see 1. the exact colour change needed 2. We can see if that batch of test kit is somewhat accurate (or use it as a calibration tool in a way). We know its not going to be 100% accurate but at the momenet my red sea test kit shows 340 and someone elses shows 380. thats a huge difference. if we can then use a sample water that is a specific level we know whos is out of whack. or ask red sea and the like to include some sample water in their kits plse : )

[@gbj6581]

sorry the above is in reference to testing problems and inacuracies in testing calcium and alkalinity in our reef tanks.

[@gbj6581]

Cool thank you.. Though i must say that seems really expensive for some 100ml of salt water 😲. Red sea and other top brands should include some for free for calibration. Just like ur refractometer comes with the solution to calibrate 👍

Hi BRS I'm new to this saltwater tanks, my friend owns one and I'm looking after his tank and I have been thoroughly enjoying it. He doesn't have a proper sump, he uses a wet dry balls which I see people don't recommend. So I'm looking to give him a Christmas gift by making his system better. Would like to know if a get a few giant clams would they help filter the water of unwanted nutrients that are detrimental to the tanks health?

[@Ninja4200ful]

Was also going to add a carbon and gpo mix filter and possibly a refugium.

[@Ninja4200ful]

BulkReefSupplyCom thank you so much for the quick reply. Would you say it is a better improvement on the filtration to add a carbon mix think you said there rox carbon mixed with gfo, going into a sump with dry rock like Marine pure then intoa small refugium?

[@Ninja4200ful]

BulkReefSupplyCom thanks, such an e immensely helpful group of support you are. Merry Christmas. Much love to you all

[@ldballoon4]

I miss RT :(

[@NoneDareChallengeMe]

I've used this. Its shit and a total waste of money.
