*What’s the worst disaster that happend in/with your aquarium? For me it’s probably a heat crash during the summer. 😓💬*

[@bnpr]

When i was still a beginner, I directly pour salt in my tank which caused to burn my corals. Btw, i never heard heat crash disaster here in my place. My lfs owners have corals that grow healthy in stable 86 Fahrenheit-90 fahrenheit maybe because were in pacific region

[@munkysthrowpoop]

An anemone dying in my tank caused almost everything to die too. I think if I had pulled it out sooner it wouldn’t have been as bad but I was trying to nurse it back to health and didn’t have anywhere else to put it.

[@josiahviera5124]

For me, the worst disaster was due to the lack of light on the island where I live. When I got up, I had lost fish of 300 pains each, about 15 in total. But I learned that we will always be able to recover and start all over again.

[@poor_mansreef8908]

100% water change with RO water, dont do anything at midnight 😅 just go to sleep lol

[@DannysCoralReef]

When all the acropora coral died. :(

[@cripnikka86]

3:57 oh wow, nice flipper trick to turn it into a hose holder lol thanks for showing us that! 👍

[@calv83]

Get an anemone guard, that will save you from some headaches. You can get the wave maker to blow directly at the anemone, it might move, or use some ice blocks and gently rub on its foot. Nice save, love your tanks.

[@Simone_E464]

Good video! Nice work! Sad for the aquarium :-(

[@DannysAquariums]

Thanks, Simone!

[@ScalperPro]

Hey Danny, could you tell me what surface skimmer it is you´re using? I'm looking for something of a similar size

[@twocoloredeyes123]

Following!! I need one just like that!

[@JayCo0o]

Keep up the good work. Love your videos 👍

[@mikelowrey9359]

Same thing happened to my tank when I was working out of town and sadly corals and most fish where to far gone by the time I got to it. Haven't got back in the hobby since

[@Chtigga]

I think I'm gonna do freshwater eventually lol. Saltwater seems awesome but don't want hours of effort and thousand worth of euros to collapse all of a sudden...

[@skillmaster9116]

I have a Colorado sunburst in my reef, made a rock with a nice crevasse for it to put it's foot in and hasn't moved since I put it there, same with my previous anemone, never moved in 3 years until I removed it

[@bluerider0988]

I think the tube trick is the best way to not damage the foot. You basically put a tube over the nem to block all the light. It will release and go to the end of the tube to get to light. Search it on the web. I guess I can't post a link because YT is a pain sometimes.

[@fishlegend2536]

Mine was not dipping my frags for the full time recommended and I had pests like Worms and Other crap

[@jamessaltern2866]

I use a Turkey baster on the foot ! Suprising how easy they start to peel up

[@David-world559]

What are your kessil light settings for the anemone tank?

[@ac3ray903]

Happened to me too😂. where did you get the Anemone thats left from? It has a really nice color

[@Itsoverninek]

What is the name / model of that Protien Skimmer? It looks liek an awesome choise for one of my smalled nano's! Love your videos btw!

[@geelllee]

poor little anemone :( at least the rest of the tank was okay in the end

[@waltjie]

Happy this ended well 😎

[@enricojaun2880]

Well, thanks for reminding me why i dont have anemone in my tank. Ive been through this, but was starting to think about giving it a try again...

[@calisirnevzat]

Hey, where are the cabinets from?

[@SlightlyM3ntal]

As far as how to move the nem, maybe blast him with a powerhead until he gets pissed off and starts moving?

[@michaelmusic6857]

Hi i was wondering what is that pink coral called?

[@saiaman01]

What do you feed anémone and lps?

[@RangeVibeZ]

Awesome vudeo

[@tesusreef2625]

If the foot isnt wedged in too deep use a plasic spoon and slowly scrape at the foot

[@coolbeans8424]

An easy method to remove the nem is : -Grab a sharp object (knife) -Try to remove a small part of her foot which is attached to the rock -Quickly put one of your fingers under her foot and slowly but surely try to peel her off If that didn’t work, put a wavemaker directly in front of her, after some hours it will surely start to move, whilst it’s moving the nem is not fully attached to the rock so it will make it 10 times easier to take her out

[@peterstenkamp773]

A simple spoon will do the trick as well, no need to risk it with a sharp item. They react to the metal and immediately retract from their base.

[@DannysAquariums]

Oh wow, I need to try that!

[@lennartr.8056]

if you want to remove the anemone, use a small pump, and attach a syringe or pipette tip to the tube, so you create a very directed stream of water. With this you can remove any anemone in any place! Just point the stream of water to the foot.

[@petschannel9952]

I never use powerheads on a tank with anemones. it is too much of a risk. you never know when they will split and one of them ends up in it. I have had many disasters, 1 Anemone getting in the powerhead. 2 disasters in moving.- as I didn't set up the tank immediately, power fail when we were away.

[@antnogerden5996]

That’s very unfortunate ☹️ one thing, did you use the wrong emoji for the title? The one you used is the snoring one..

[@maurelius8344]

What is your watch brand and ref number? Thx.

[@claytonwoodcock6942]

to remove anemones with out hurting them, place a ice cube by there foot.

[@KingAdeft]

I can confirm that this works. It works very well actually. I had the anemone I thought I'd never remove without hurting it. Using an ice cube, it came off in about 30 mins. Seems like a long time, but it is well worth not killing the anemone

[@TheMrGGame]

Teeth Brush helps every Time

[@Beetlesgonefishin]

unfortunately anemones are known to wonder and get caught up in pumps , there are anemone pots you can buy , small clay pots designed to keep them in place , put the anemone in one of the pots , place it in a suitable spot in the tank and the anemone has a secure spot to withdraw into if it needs to

[@mv9758]

This is exactly why I will never put a nem in my tank. I don't want to risk any of my other corals for that...

[@Saltyaquarium]

Sorry about your anemone, but nice video!!

[@colycycle4665]

Is that Bubble tip anemone? Why u didnt cover the power head or WM

[@DannysAquariums]

Well, the point of a power head is to not have it covered up.. otherwise it doesn’t work. 😛

[@colycycle4665]

Nah u can use an anemone cover by 3d printer/oem product ,. Or if you want safe money u can basically cover only side of it with bio foam cut it and tied it with cabble ties

[@DannysAquariums]

Oh that sounds nice!! I should look into that. Thanks for the suggestion. :)

[@TCTDesign]

video đẹp quá

[@DannysAquariums]

Thank you!

[@PUNKSLEY123]

warm je je vers water beetje op ?

[@DannysAquariums]

Jazeker! Water is op temperatuur. :)

[@UTUBESTEVED]

Anemone removal advice get a rodi ice cube and rub its foot it will retract and free it’s self

[@poor_mansreef8908]

Wild acropora that get exposed during low tide are actually mega stressed and fighting for their lives so idk if survive is the right word. Move 50 ft towards the reef that stays wet during low tide and they look 100% better than the ones that get exposed. Its kind of a myth that corals do fine out of water.

[@DannysAquariums]

A lot of corals are fine, but yeah others can be quite sensitive. Big LPS corals are sensitive too, when they’re filled with water.

[@poor_mansreef8908]

@@DannysAquariums they really are not fine though. Go diving when you get a chance and you’ll see how bad it hurts them. They produce a mucus coat to keep them wet and the uv light is seriously hurting them.

What type of camera are you using?

Ice on the foot of the nem make ice cubes from r.o.d.I. Water so ur good

[@GS_PlayzFN]

Hi

[@DannysAquariums]

Hi! 👋

[@blechbixn6694]

its easy to remove a anemone with a thoothbrush! Gently stroke her at her feet!

[@MW-ut3dk]

Anemones move too much to place in a reef tank with power heads unless they’re all covered with nem guards-not expensive and many people sell 3dprinted versions. Nice save on the reef!

[@dizzlerizzle2775]

was his tank nuked by anenome or somthing

[@aqua_addicts1787]

Me and anemones do not get along

[@o_oo_o1812]

tfw ur an anenome living ur best life r.i.p.

[@marwanal-ali3041]

i am no longer in this hobby for this kind of things that happens i lost 2 oscars after 2 years stopped eating for no reason water ok food ok health ok no sickness just stopped , and other tank had full African Cichilds they kept fighting and daying the last 3 gave them to my friend , after that im done ..

Rookie mistake.

[@DannysAquariums]

Yup, Anemones are kinda dumb.
