Weekly & Monthly Saltwater Aquarium Maintenance for Success! 40b

[@garyklas1281]

Why would you spit on your tank, filthy

[@billclarke7893]

totally agree, keep a spray bottle of RO water by the tank with your cloth

[@garethh7897]

lil spit shine never hurt, grow up lol

[@FoolOfATuque]

I find that throwing out my filter socks has really helped me and my skimmer from going crazy. I recently installed the Reefmat and what a game changer

[@PracticalReefer]

Great tips! 👍 I'd say RO water and a microfiber cloth is great for cleaning glass too! 👌

[@Arithorath]

Brother really spit on the tank! HAHA! I love BRSTV!

[@Nordic_Hell]

Is there somewhere that has like a checklist for maintenance? Or a checklist for things to buy? Looking into starting my first tank here, and I am absolutely overwhelmed with things to buy and daily/weekly tasks.

I wish these videos was out when I started out. Would of helped a lot. Iv been keeping a reef tank for about 5 years now and after watching these videos I’m changing the way I do some of the maintenance on the tank. Could I ask one question is the top shelf in your fish room out of level it catches my eye every time

[@BulkReefSupply]

Just the angle of the camera 😊

Feeding corals has never been in my favor. It results in added waste, phosphates, fueling nuisance algae and other pests (hydroids, aiptasia, spirobid worms, and worms in general)

[@garysteinert8040]

Water change every two weeks, each change clean out a chamber and it’s equipment.

[@harlemscarlet]

I find that wetting my filter sock with RO water before I add it to the sump keeps my Skimmer from going loco. Mine seems to not like a dry sock. Maybe this will work for you. Thanks for sharing.

[@CalcioFan4Ever]

I use rodi water, squeegee, microfiber cloth, and fritz glass cleaner for my outside glass :v

[@RustyShacklefardd]

I do the lazy ass reefer water change. Oh shit it's been 3 weeks 35%

[@NinjaSushi2]

4:40 PREACH!!! lol I do that. The ol spitshine

[@xisotopex]

this would be great as a spread sheet or app, something like that...

[@MaddieGraffeo]

I saw 40b in the title and just assumed this was about a 40 gallon breeder.

[@peterperez4493]

Fritz also has a glass cleaner that works

[@Brad.Hobbies]

Very fine content here sir, well done.

Great video!

Great

[@Xtremehuntin]

Which all inclusive tank do you have? The one you show when you’re cleaning the chambers? I love that tank! Anyone know?

[@apss5736]

awesome

[@fishstix1988]

Why gravel vac the sand if you have sand sifting CuC? Can one not ever gravel vac and just rely those sand sifter? I would think gravel vacuuming would just remove their food source.

[@BulkReefSupply]

A lot of it comes down to sand bed depth. Sand sifting clean up crew does a great job on that first 1" or so layer, but if you have a deeper sand bed, your tank can benefit from using a gravel vac. That said, you don't necessarily need to gravel vac the entire sand bed each time you do it. Breaking the tank down into 1/4 or 1/3 sections and doing smaller parts of the tank at a time is beneficial in some cases.

[@fishstix1988]

@@BulkReefSupply if my tank is 24" deep, should I look into the 24" python van or the 30" one?

[@fishpony1211]

[@josephsilverman2383]

Which tank is the anemone tank? Tank video?!?!?!?

[@Arthurstumpf]

the spit part was too much fun too see lol

[@melódic_breeze_VIIIV]

Hey Matthew love watching the series it’s awesome. One subject I just can’t seem to find and maybe you could help with, is a good video showing the correct way to fill a tank for the first time. What I really need to know is how do I know when the levels are correct in each chamber of the sump and at what point I turn my return pump on without it running dry before water from the skimmer chamber can replenish it. I just cannot seem to find a video showing this so any help would be amazing thank you.

[@BulkReefSupply]

Just fill the display up so that the water starts flowing down the overflow. Then, over fill the sump slightly and turn the return pump on. Keep an eye on it the first time you fire up the system so that you can make sure the return doesn't run dry. If necessary, you can always unplug the return pump and add a bit more water.

[@michaelross5674]

I was dying when you said spit on tank LMFAO 😅😅😆

[@BulkReefSupply]

😂🤣

[@tylerneal5390]

I need a good Sump for my 75 gallon but dont know where to find one that is not to over priced? I cant do the whole DIY thing im brand new to this side of fish tank world

[@rafaelvilla2750]

Trigger system 26” sapphire works well with my 75g and fits under stand

[@BulkReefSupply]

Like Rafael mentioned, the 26" trigger sumps are a great option for the average 75 gallon aquarium.
