Reviving My Algae-Infested Tank | Blue Reef Tank

[@jakereiland]

This is a relief to see. I think everyone assumed you had a major crash because of how long before you posted a video. Glad your tank is well with minimal losses

[@UTUBESTEVED]

We really missed your videos. I’m glad that you came back hoping to see more of you. Keep them coming please your videos are refreshing and calming. Thank you for your participation in this reef community.

Welcome Back! So great to see your tank survived your month long holiday - you had us all worried!! So great to see Noodle - cute as ever!😍

[@PhilsNanoReeF-qw1ov]

reef keeping always has these ups and downs... i solute the guys and girls who can stay ontop of their tanks year round but for most people especially in America right now, the weather outside is great, there are things to do people to see and places to go!!

Yes, great to have you Back again 🐠🐠🐠

Bojour! I’m glad to see your video this morning. I was worried. What a relief to know that all fish are alive! Your little dog also seems very happy. I hope you had a good trip. I wish you lots of fun at home. We look forward to seeing you soon on video. Bonjour from Quebec city in Canada. 😃

[@wendellknowles4570]

Welcome back finally! Glad to see you creating videos again. We missed you! Cant wait to see what lies ahead moving forward. You are an inspiration to us all.

[@mohammadalameer8283]

It's been such a long time - welcome back! I really enjoy your videos; they're so relaxing and soothing. They have become something of a routine for me when I need to relax. I'm glad to see all the fish are alive and well.

[@BlueReefTank]

Thank for the support mate! Glad that you are enjoying the videos and yes, I'm back to posting new videos now :) Let me know if there is any specific content you want to see ;)

[@zafrimuiz1812]

@@BlueReefTank really appreciate if u can show overall all u fish. Really interesting to see them one by one. I'm watching ur channel since last week one by one. Like a movie for me. There was a continuity for each episode👍👍

[@mohammadalameer8283]

@@BlueReefTank I can't get enough of the tank and fish - I'm eager to see even more! I think it's about time you reward yourself with a new fish lol. Your fish seem to be feeling lonely so maybe a new aquatic companion is needed? A Copperband Butterflyfish could be an interesting choice! As it grows, it could become the centerpiece of your tank, enhancing its beauty even further. I'd love to see something like that. What do you think? Actually no copperbanded butterfly are too difficult to keep, but anyway, a new fish is what we need I'm sure!

[@JakeDogg-RIP]

Glad ur back my friend! Hope u had a great trip away 👊🍻🥰 I’m looking forward to seeing ur big tank grow again. I’ve had some issues, not sure if it was after or before ur last video but I had Dino problems in my tank, between that and a big salinity swing not long before that, I lost most of my corals (still have a blasto and zoa) the Dino’s killed all my snails but now I have some new snails and my hermits are all still going well, and the algae that grew like crazy while I was fighting the Dino’s is just coming under control now from the new snails, so the tank is looking good, just needs new corals in it again, I got a small acro colony for my yellow coral goby that came with an acro crab, the acro did die tho (I was only hopeful to keep it alive, as it’s still a young tank, and being a small tank it does have swings in all areas not crazy bad, but enough to make touchy stuff like acro not very comfortable) I managed to drag a small piece of the acro tho and that is still 2/3s alive 😂🥰 I’m hoping I’ll be able to keep it going now i seem to have the lighting right, oh another thing I got was 2 small (about an inch and a half diameter) decorator urchins to eat the algae. They are fun to watch also… so soon as I save the money I will be buying some more corals and probably getting some more phyto and copepods to stock the tank again 🥰👊🍻

It was great but I wish it was longer! I lost some corals because something flipped it upside down and some corals took over others completely. Apart from that, everything else are doing well!

Tip for gluing gorgonians: strip off the living tissue like you would stripping a copper wire, then glue the exposed skeleton to the rockwork.

[@LivinBilly]

Do you have any tips for keeping your metal aquarium tools rust-free? I do my best to wipe them dry after use but I'm still paranoid about anything rusty messing with the tank.

[@BlueReefTank]

I usually wash them in fresh water and dry them really well using paper towel :)

[@dusk1947]

Good video. And don't feel bad about cutting back a super aggressive and successful coral, trimming and population management is part of keeping a fixed volume. We only have so much room in a tank. And unless we trim and cut back, everyone's tank would eventually succumb to their strongest single coral. Plus, xenia in particular is known for colonizing far more space than it should. Which is why so many hobbyist's eventually remove it entirely. It's a beautiful soft coral. But it's far too successful at taking over.

[@BlueReefTank]

Yeah, it requires a fair bit of maintenance otherwise it will grow like weeds.

[@TheIncredibleHieb]

Whats that you used to scrape the coral off ? Looked like it worked like a charm.

[@BlueReefTank]

It's kinda like a mini scraper that I got from my local art store :)

[@matthias7998]

Most random question, but I'm really curious: How did you hide the cables for the TV on your wall? It looks sleek and I'm quite envious. Is there a power outlet just behind it?

[@BlueReefTank]

The cable runs behind the wall and they also drilled a hole underneath the TV behind the entertainment unit and that's where the cable came out to connect to a power outlet :)

[@matthias7998]

@@BlueReefTank Ah I see! I wish I could that with my solid wall. Yours looks great, though!
