What Did I Do To My 180g Reef?!?! July 2018 Update

[@ThaBiznessReefTank]

Hope you like the new side of the reef. Hopefully I wont have to do this again!

[@nat-kingreef3955]

Tha Bizness Reef Tank was you at RAP NY???

[@ThaBiznessReefTank]

Nat - king Reef nope

[@carleckelman3696]

You gotta love a good fight, long term it will look better I like the new rocks

[@MySimpleReef]

a came pretty good man nice work!!

[@unclefreshreef4318]

Looks great! I love arches.

[@Reefgrrl]

Bryan, you’re a madman! I completely understand - I had the evil green palys and though they were actually quite pretty, they overgrew EVERYTHING. They were the ones that ended up making me sick but I don’t have them any more, thank goodness. You did good - I think the new rocks look excellent! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@doriansaquariums2929]

I like this new look a lot. For months now I have been toying with the idea of getting some new rock and trying to make a legitimate aqua scape that I can place coral on. You just made me want to take the plunge...lol

[@ThaBiznessReefTank]

Do it! You wont regret it. I sure don't. Now Im just waiting on the new rock to turn the same color as the rest of the reef.

[@Cherub72]

i like the rock work, crazy you didn't cycle it first but the brownness will pass. Anything to get rid of those nasty palys though! congrats

[@ThaBiznessReefTank]

Cycling it first would have taken to long. There is probably 120 lbs of years old rock left in that I thought would take up the slack. Didn't see a cycle

[@sylvesterreef2637]

Hi Biz beautiful looking reef new scape looking great mate 👍

[@briansfishtanks]

Looks good!

[@Davelembo]

And Paly sounds so friendly. I think I saw one popping it's head out of the new rock Bryan lol. Scape looks great. Glad you got thru it ok

[@ReeferGil]

Looks great. Love that you got after it the way you did.

[@DwightMcCharles]

I like the arch👍 I think it looks good.

[@dailycoral]

Dude, new scape looks amazing! And we've definitely all been there... A few years ago I threw out over 100 lbs of nice rock that was covered in those same stupid Palys..best decision you'll ever make!

[@tsurro8086]

Good luck, hey got one of those stirring things to help with titration, really works great!!

[@retroreefs7986]

Awesome!!! Better flow now. Minimalist is usually my go to on a 6 foot sps tank... where is my sps frag pack tho???🤔

[@captivebredcanada]

We've all been there. At least anyone in the hobby long term. I'm looking at these tiny purple clove polyps which are similar to the blue ones and debating gluing over some now. Usually like you I just pull a bit out at a time and keep it under control.

[@SimplyReefing]

Looks good hope it helps you place a lot of coral

[@dmsreeftank242]

i like it cant wait to see the sps grow together in to a another biz master piece lol love your videos buddy thanks for the update

[@ricosaquariums7992]

Looks good👊👍

[@ThaBiznessReefTank]

Thanks! It was a little scary for a minute.

[@damarrisferguson]

I like the new scape!!

[@EDKsurly]

LOOKS GREAT NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. :)

[@BillyPipes]

I like it. And hopefully you got rid of those trash palys lol 👍

[@ThaBiznessReefTank]

I think they are all gone. Ill know for sure in a month

[@teereefer1276]

I like it I can’t wait till it’s finished

[@chevythang92]

Lol Great update . Had me worried the way you started the video.

[@ThaBiznessReefTank]

I was worried for days. Just getting to the point where I can laugh about it!

[@brandoncrenshaw367]

Beautiful tank

[@hediki]

Those dam green pall6ys!!!!

[@lillybain8799]

Rage definitely paid off this time, looks good. Giving me ideas now haha👍✌️

[@ThaBiznessReefTank]

Big tip - make the structure outside the tank and let it sit for a day or so.

[@lillybain8799]

Cheers for the tips I will do that, make sure it’s nice and steady ✌️

[@TimHarris-photog]

Tha Bizness Reef Tank the new aquascape looks good. You mentioned letting it set for a few days but did you have any concerns about phosphate leaking from the new rock if it hadn't been cured for a few months? (Newbie asking)

[@Ellery-USA]

I hear ya dude - in the same boat. I scrubbed all my rocks of palys and mushrooms and 10 years later they are back. Thinking about restarting again after 12 years of running.

[@ThaBiznessReefTank]

In one case I even muratic acid bathed some rock and trash palys still came back. If they were named zoas they would have died when they hit air or alk changed.

[@tomerlevi6961]

I like it man

[@ReeferDave]

Scape looks great! I have some yellow polyps aka yellow aiptasia I need to RIP out of my tank.

[@ThaBiznessReefTank]

I hate yellow polyps.

[@JCarey]

I love it! Do the other side the same way 🤩 don't touch the middle 😉 👍🏽✊🏽

[@ArrickthaRed]

The tank looks good. It looked good before but I know how it is to have something in your tank that isn't bad but bothers the crap out of you. Be careful in the future not to expose yourself to palytoxin.

[@ThaBiznessReefTank]

Palytoxin is definitely a issue. That's the reason I decided to replace the entire area instead of continuing to pick with tweezers. Little by little I removed the rock to cut back on exposure. Gloves required!

[@anniejefferson7614]

Be careful. Brs rock will cause a cycle/crash if you don't cure it.

[@nat-kingreef3955]

Looks great 👍🏿
