Literally just made an order on the 24th and you call out the wrong Jeremiah M. lol

You guys said Jeremiah M and I bout had a heart attack! Texas. 😢

Love y’all’s support in the reefing community. Thankyou for all y’all do. Hope to hear my name at 7 pm. :).

Ryan, thank you for your channel and sharing of your reefing journey! My 60-gallon cube is now three years old. Launched it in summer 2021. Learned as much as I could from BRS and many other reefing channels then hand-built the mixed-reef using pre-owned pieces (acrylic sump/glass aquarium) and new equipment. 1st year hard as f**k! 2nd year on, smooth sailing. Kessil 360 + Reefbrite 12” blades, mangroves growing out the top with Kessil 160, Fiji cube 800 external overflow (I drilled tank), PVC plumbing form BRS (gate valve, check valves, angle valve, tubing/elbows). Sump has skimmer, 7” media basket rather than sock, and custom chaeto refugium section built with Amazon acrylic sheets and acrylic cement. Neptune refugium GROW light. Octo 400 return pump with float safety valve. Optical freshwater refill system for evaporation w/5-gallon reservoir. In-line UV sterilizer and ROWA-phos in external reactor. Water source is BRS RODI. Tons of coral (branching acros, montipora, SPS, hammers, digi, Hawkins, plating acros, frogspawn, leathers). My tank looks like the over-grown example shown In this video (edge-to-edge coral) with a giant 13” wide monti nearly growing out the top (started as 1.5” frag). I consider myself a 4-star reefer, no less than high 3-star (have paid my dues in research 100’s of hrs). Fish/invertibrates: large clown pair since beginning, small hippo tang, many gobies, six-line, fire shrimp, pink 4” starfish, Chromis, Scott’s damsel pair, snails, hermit crabs. All-For-Reef solution on dosing pump keeps elements and minerals in check. Water changes are nearly zero. Began weekly WH, then bi-weekly, eventually monthly, ended in 3-4 per year. Now maybe two 8% water changes per year, if that. Have all the Hanna checkers. Nitrate and phosphate low. Phosphate has tendency to elevate. Nitrate stays low. Never done an ICP test, could and should do that to test my maintenance strategy. I’m positive some or many elements could be out of whack. No ill effects (marine life adjusts?). Coral death? Some, mostly from shading (coral growth). Fish death? Yes, many over the years. Starvation (2x Copperband), and unknown diseases. Never had ich (UV). My dream tank is 150 gallon. That’s next after we buy a house (living in California, expensive). People LOVE our tank! I credit BRS, Reef Builders, Reef Bum, Coral Euphoria, and many others!! Success is based on listening to the experts and taking action! Trial and error! Does perfection exist? Nah, chasing numbers! Con in my tank? Aiptasia!! Have tried everything!! Red Sea Aiptasia X, file fish, and $200 worth of nudibranchs! The nudis disappeared (been 8 months), probably eaten by little gray/white uneven starfish (pest?) and fireworms (PLENTY!). I’ll do my best to prevent Aiptasia in the new build. 😃👍🏼

Where the hell is ryan

This seems unbearable

Shame - BRS is no longer an educational channel but now it's a pair night infomercial channel.

Lmao

What happened to Ryan and 52 weeks of reefing?

Hope I finally win this time!🎉

Did you you ever make a video on the hose reel?

How did you increase the pressure ? did you achieve that closing the efluent line or you used the pressure valve at the RO inlet ? Increasing the efluent line we can also increase the pressure but I guess its not the right way to do it

I’m already a prefered reefer but how likely am I to get something for free? I’m assuming there is atleast 200k preferred reefers I’d just have to buy a lottery ticket then if I win something. Or do I have to place an order rn or something

Do a 20 gallon cleanup crew

Nice educative

You can just pull them out of the water like that?

wHO THE f#(l( IS this Missing the old team and no vids in over 6 weeks' time to find a new channel

where can I get that protein skimmer? I recently bought this dice aquarium.

Did you get the idea from Gary who ran a coral farm in NW Indiana? He had the same setup in the 90’s for his farm.

This is awesome! Love the mix of new and old faces. And that’s a great wink Josh!

do you have to use RO water or can you use declorinated water?

I would recommend staying away from silversides and anemones because anemones do have the tendency to regurgitate them/spit them out as it can be too big for them so I always recommend shrimp

Hi can you make a video or short of the best cheap affordable dosing pumps? I’m looking for a dosing pumps so I can go to my 1 week vacation

thank you! Question: my aquarium is fully of bioload, he was doing great until yesterday! I added 50 small hermit crabs • for a sudden growth of brown algae around the tank, this morning some corals were looking with white spots and stressed. This is not the first time after adding a new organism, that's why I don't like to add any other animal to my tank but some people recommend me add more hermit and was only a cleaning crew. I did a water change 50% like I always do when this issue happens, 1 shot of nitrifying bacteria and activated carbon. Any comments regarding this issue?

I've always been confused about this event. Do they randomly draw from past orders of preferred reefers or do you have to place orders during the event for a chance to win?

I was having issues raising PH, the CO2 meter I bought online was fake, I got a reliable one now and found deficiencies in my house air quality, #1 I have a tight envelope so my house is equipped with an ERS, it wasn’t properly controlled as it should so I fixed that, #2 I ran a 3/4” line outside to draw fresh air, #3 the 3/4” line feeds an acrylic air box and my air pump for air stones is inside the acrylic box and the skimmer draws from it as well, I went from 7.8 to 8.2 and still going .

Gosh this is hard to watch without Ryan. Makes me worried that he is stepping back after selling the company

This without Ryan looks and sounds odd.

No Ryan no watch

New faces

This is exactly what i want, i miss my tank and after a 5 year break i want back in!

Apparently there are preservative chemicals on reverse osmosis membrains that can cause cancer and infertility! I've read that you really need to flush them good, But does that really do a good enough job? What are your thoughts on this and what would you recommend. Cheers mate.

Excellent Brother! 👍🏻

If phase 2 didn't happen that is a great loss for a scientific reefing hobby. 😢

what is that the black one with hermit crab? can somebody tell me?

We bleach our flour, how'd that work out.... I dunno do what you want, but it sounds funky personally

The skimmer skims good but the pump breaks. The plastic impeller seems to brake easily. Then the replacement pump cost almost as much as the whole skimmer.

Sweet chops brah

This seemed less a guide and more a sale pitch

Do they need to be put together in that filter bag or can I just freely place them around the aquarium without a bag?

What if it’s a hang on tank skimmer yall never address those type of skimmers

Ryan BRS and Cory Aquarium Co-Op should collaborate

How long can you have corals in such small volume of water and no gas exchange?

You should mention why you’re using gloves. (Stinging bristle worms).

Really charging almost 40$ for 20lbs of sand?😂

this is garbage tier advance particularly showing 50+ clowns in a small cube

Great BRS Episode! So happy Ryan is still with BRS :)

Pleaseeeee bring Ryan Back! BRSTV got me into the hobby 1.5 years ago. BRSTV channel had 1 video per day! Now… we get shorts? What happened to top 10 mistakes? BRS investigates? Nothing against the guy but please do something to bring ryan back……

Love this short!!! Great video, friendly host, interesting topic!
