Bringing my Reef Aquarium Back to Life | Blue Reef Tank
This week, I'll share some updates on the recent events in my Waterbox Peninsula Mini 25. The tank is battling a cyano issue and I had to quickly take action to save my tank. I have included a long-overdue tank overview, along with some close-ups of my fish and corals. I have a new special addition that I am introducing for the first time, hope you like it! And enjoy the feeding session at the end of this video!
I hope you like this week's content and don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss out on the exciting things to come!

Thank you for making my absolute favourite videos! I look forward to them so much. Side note, should you ever need an alternative to manual removal, Chemiclean works excellently for Cyanobacteria. So long as you turn off the skimmer and run an air stone for a day or two, I have never seen any side effects whatsoever- fish, inverts and corals always unaffected

Similar battle. Green hair algae, then cyano, then green hair algae and diatoms, haha. Every time I beat one, another one fills its place. I think my refugium was to blame. More cheato dying off than really thriving. Maybe the vibrant I have been dosing or poor lighting or some combination of both was knocking it out. Removed the cheato. I have been manually removing unwanted yuck in the tank and will be doing weekly water changes until everything looks sparkling again. Keep up the good fight!

I would love an update on your copepod culture. I set up my own culture after watching your video, two 4 litre jars, both doing well and I have a chubby Mandarin & Ruby Red Dragonet as a result! A question - how do you maintain the temperature as we head into winter, especially overnight. I’ve resorted to placing the jars in a dish of water with a heater, seems to working so far…

@Ichthys_Aquatics
@Ichthys_Aquatics 2 года назад
Look at your nitrates and phosphates. If your phosphate are higher than your nitrates that might be the issue with the Cyanobacteria. If that is the case try using some GFO to lower your phosphates and dosing some Neo nitrate Brightwell to raise your nitrates. Aim for getting your nitrates 10 times your phosphates. For example if your phosphates are .03 then nitrates should be 3 to 5 parts ppm.
@BlueReefTank

Thanks for the tip! I will try the GFO option

It's a good video to show tank maintenance, but looking at your footage it seems like there's alot of natural sunlight coming through your tank. Maybe a bit to much over exposure with your lights coming on as well.
@quadlawnmowerman
@quadlawnmowerman 2 года назад
Just remember those types of razors should only be used on the side with flat side of the blade. You will feel the difference running the razor along the surface of a tile or desk at about a 30 degree angle, one side will want to grab into the surface and the other side won't. The side that doesn't "grab" is the flat side of the razor and is the one you want to use against the glass. If you use the wrong side you will find the algae grows faster and gets harder and harder to get off over time as you cause the surface of the glass to become rough. The rough surface of the glass then reflects more light growing the algae faster only now the surface isn't "smooth as glass" leaving a fine film of algae behind that grows back quicker and has a better hold on the glass.

Will take you a long time to get rid of cyano weekly water changes are a mistake you will just fuel it even more your nutrients must be very low or bottomed out bring nutrients up as well. Dirty water is the way to beat it I tried everything nothing works but the dirty water method don't even clean the glass and it will burn itself out no water changes for few weeks 👍

Also, I’ve been wanting a pipefish so badly but I’m not sure how they would go in my mixed reef. I’d say I have moderate flow, but it’s a big tank (6ft) with lower flow areas and a bit higher flow areas right in front of the powerheads. How delicate would you say they are in terms of flow/swimming ability?
