CJ'S AQUARIUMS thinking of setting up my first saltwater tank, is all that equiptment needed for a basic tank, or can i get away with just some good filtration canisters? Thanks for any info u can provide this newbie

clyde mulberry yes Skimmer runs 24/7 ... draws in outside air to help offset calcium reactor dropping my PH

Do you run you skimmer constant while using the miracle mud

st louis - 6 years ago

I've been following you for a minute now. Like your progress. I don't have any room in my sump for Miracle Mud so I put it in a reactor with a slow trickle. My Rain2 Algae Scrubber is trying to come online but my bio load is very low right now. Need to add to the livestock.

Awesome video man. Blue Star has been my go to since getting into reefing. I almost bought your system back in November, but you changed your mind, and decided to stay in the hobby lol. Glad to see your still going strong man!

SPS Dominant - 6 years ago

I used to use miracle mud for years. I stopped using it 2 years ago bc everybody was saying it doesn't benefit anything. Now I see all these people saying it works great.lol I think I may try it again.

Cali Fishliving - 6 years ago

I had losses when I was changing /adding and having my my hands in the tank , once I let my let my tank alone , it all work out for me. Keeping it simple and stable is my game plan. And be PATIENT

great video! good to see that your tank is doing better!! can i ask you a question, i cant find my firefish, should i do a tear down {kinda}? all levels are good, and i just added more fish

Thanks for the update CJ and for sharing failures. We all learn this way, nobody is born the perfect reefer and everyone makes mistakes and things can go wrong fast. I have killed/bleached far more then I would like to admit.

1juliejimk - 6 years ago

I just thought of something maybe you might be interested in it is called HPD, I feed all my fish this, a friend of mine in Pittsburg turned me onto it, pull up Americanreef HPD. And watch the video, I use mine frozen and use a potato peeler to peel off shreds of food for my fish I also add coral frenzy and Reef chili. Into the mix, I also use this to feed my corals! Let me know how it goes.

1juliejimk - 6 years ago

Just watched your video on the air stone, i’m going to run mine at night on a timer. Thanks for your videos you have been a great help!!!!!

1juliejimk - 6 years ago

I ordered a algae scrubber today from Santa Monica filtration, I did let them know that I watched your video and that’s why ordered it so I gave you kudos have a great day brother!

CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 6 years ago

1juliejimk appreciate it! Hope u have as much success as I have

chipete1 - 6 years ago

can you point me in the direction as to where to buy a least expensive aquarium like a 120 gallon tank

CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 6 years ago

chipete1 SCA aquarium or glass box Aquariums are pretty budget friendly. Unless I find a used system

Jason Glass - 6 years ago

How often do you have to clean the glass, seems like mine gets a brown film almost everyday. Parameters seem very good.and not running LED full strength with no red or greens .. Thanks nice video love the transparency ...

Good tips. I am new to reef tanks only a year now and everything is working but it's all basic. I don't even have to feed the corals. Taking my time and not getting ahead of myself.

CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 6 years ago

MASS Aquariums we all learn the hard way... it’s the best way to burn it into your brain. People just don’t share the pain they keep it a secret lol

Wesley Forbes II - 6 years ago

Good lessons learned. Yes, I agree, just leave things alone for a while and let things get back to running stable again. I don't do half of the stuff you are doing and my SPS keep growing. So much so that they are growing into each other after starting as frags. I have other problems that I need to work on, but growth is not one of them at the moment. Keep doing what your doing, be easy.

Handsome Corals - 6 years ago

Been EXACTLY where youve been. Thank god i didnt just add a bunch of new SPS but did lose ALL of the sps i had. looking back it was about 5 or 6 things all in a row including me "thinking" i was fixing things. trick now is i only do one thing at a time then i wait. so you can narrow down what happened if something goes wrong.

Jon G. - 6 years ago

Great update & tips CJ. Lost a majority of my first SPS batch when I tried to chase my KH to what other reefers were recommending leading to instability. I've since let the tank stabilize naturally & haven't lost a coral since. They're slow growing though, so that's my next challenge.

Love your videos! Did you lose your fish shortly after adding your Blue Headed Wrasse? I put one in my 90 gallon back in 2002 and quickly lost everything. This and a move took me out of the hobby until recently.
Keep up the great work!

dewfpv - 6 years ago

Thanks for sharing CJ. I recently mixed some water for my mixed reef and left it mixing for an extra 4 days because life got in the way. I never checked temp because it was always same as tank ( I run no heaters) well apparently the water i left mixing gained heat due to the water pump. Im loosing some nice Euphyllia colonies and also some other corals. Lesson learned!!

Israel REEFER!!! - 6 years ago

Good job as always man much respect bro you show what it's really like . I like the in person type of vid btw

Nick The Dick - 6 years ago

Thank you for the great video
everyone loves when we show where we screwed up because it shows even us experts have our bad days right? we all make mistakes and are prone to repeat them before learning from them and overall Ive always loved watching your videos hope to see much more like this

JJ BB - 6 years ago

Hello CJ I've used miracle mud you're suppose to slowly add them and let the cloud settle before running your pumps, there's some video that due to its high trace elements it can overdose your tank.

CincinnatiReefer - 6 years ago

Hey man thanks for keeping it real and sharing the good and the bad. Loved the video!

Cat Zawadzski - 6 years ago

CJ it was a nice change to see you on camera. The best advice I was ever given was when you don't know what to do just stand still. I was glad to see that the problems worked themselves out.

It's heart breaking but We all been there and done it too. It's part of the hobby and that's how you learn from it. Your 120 is coming along great. Btw it's nice seeing your
Face for a change . The voice over videos are great with your hypnotic/ bluey/ bedroom twang to it! Lol

T Surro - 6 years ago

I think I mentioned that adding all those acros were going to be a problem, with all those fish , feeding , pooping, I know u have nutrients but thosecorals will suck up more than u know and given ur small water volume, there’s ur problem, glad to see it’s working out, slow ur roll, ur not listening to ur own advise!! I only saying because I already did the same mistakes, watching is like going back in time!

DARTHSYNTH - 6 years ago

I liked the old way you did videos more. You really felt like you got to see the tank.

Caleb Brinkley - 6 years ago

Good to see that things are solid again. I like the new video format too, it's a bit more relatable I guess.

Curt Ives - 6 years ago

We often learn more from our mistakes. I appreciate that you are sharing yours. I’ve experienced the same issues at different times. Thanks for taking the time to share this. I almost felt like I was sitting there with you, chillin and talking about our tanks. Thanks Sir!

Reefgrrl - 6 years ago

Nice! Can’t wait to see if it does for you what it did for me!

texastitan1989 - 6 years ago

Slow and steady is the hardest lesson to learn in reefing. I still think you should look into a refugium. It's just the most natural way to keep your tank clean and its a copepod breeding ground. Siphoning the sand in a establishes system is probably a bad idea. Better to keep a good cleaning crew for the sand. Acros are hard to keep. I have two that is growing well and 3 that havent change in 4 months. All my birdnest, Digi, plates, chalice, favias, and zoa's are exploding but the acro's are stubborn.

texastitan1989 - 6 years ago

CJ'S AQUARIUMS l just love refugiums. I know there are many ways to get the same task done. I like you videos. How is your clam doing. Is he growing?

John’s Reef - 6 years ago

CJ,sorry about the coral loss. Tank is looking great. So what is the phosphate level you would like for your tank? I am working on removing GFO hoping the Cheato will take over.

Ken SELLICK - 6 years ago

Takes a big man to share his mistakes
Thank You

Ed Wiser - 6 years ago

CJ'S AQUARIUMS yes I have had this happen before myself. Acros that month’s to settle in not weeks. I have seen pieces that a year to do anything. Need to get over and do the Par meter on those lights.

sanmillanjua1 - 6 years ago

Amazing video cj keep it up, congratulations on your 15k subscribers! Hey cj just wondering if you use vinegar to clean the outside glass?

Lawrence - 6 years ago

open amazon
order miracle mud
thanks cj!

btw how much did you use?

Lawrence - 6 years ago

ordered 10 lbs! my tank is a reefer 525, about the same size as yours. can't wait for it to arrive!

my tank is about to approach it's 1 year mark next month, so it's pretty close to yours in terms of age.

i rushed a lot of corals in the beginning, and learnt a lot of very expensive lessons... to the point i was scared to even add any sps. now i'm finally getting the stability i want, and i think my corals are about to go into insane growth mode soon, especially with the mud!

here's my tank, crappy scape, will improve next time around lol
https://imgur.com/gktvURK

5 bucks that inappropriate reefer's next youtube video will be titled: "I ADDED MUD TO MY REEF TANK?!?!?" lol

CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 6 years ago

Lawrence I tried to put the cheapest link in my comment for everyone. I used 10 lbs.. depending on your purpose u can use more or less than the recommended amount. Ether way it will benefit your system.. the amount u use will dictate how long till u need to replace it

At My WorkShop - 6 years ago

Great video CJ! Thanks for sharing what you've learned.

Reef Pro Shop - 6 years ago

My recommendation is to have a simple filtration, in my aquarium I only use, biopellets, activated carbon, GFO, calcium reactor and a large skimmer, 5% water change every 2 months and the most important thing is to have a lot of patience, you can see my aquarium on Instagram, omarsan_rps, I hope that soon you can solve the problem with your SPS

Ramiro Reyes - 6 years ago

Love your videos. Very informative and to the point. Keep them coming!

Dorian Elijah - 6 years ago

Good vid for all level of reefers in the hobby to see. We all need to take our time when doing things or making changes to our systems. I appreciate your openness in sharing information. I know it's been helping me a lot thanks cj..

Dennis Bliss - 6 years ago

CJ thank you for the video. I have a couple questions. First, your thought process with releasing that skim mate back into your sump? I understand you thought you would release the nutrients that you feed your tank, but did you think that's all that it would put back into the system? And second when you removed the matrix and it released the detritus isn't that conciderd food for the corals from the sump?? Slow and steady wins the race in growing corals. I take that as one coral maybe two corals a month but I see bags of corals in your sump temperature acclimating. Will you still add more than two at a time in the future?

Dennis Bliss - 6 years ago

CJ'S AQUARIUMS yes sir. I know for me to, having Patients is so freaking hard because I want my tank to look like Ricos tank ,today and not next year. So I get it. You have to know these videos you put out help me tremendously because I learn from your mistakes(not for a min do I want you to have any) so I, and all reefers won't make the same ones. I'm an old man now and when I was young we didn't have you tube,cell phones,videos to watch, everything was done by trial and error. Now there's people like you,Rico,Dave ect To show us what you all have learned. Thank you so much for being honest and showing us what really happens and not acting as if you don't go through hard times. I look forward to the next video you have a great day. Bliss.

Lisa aqua_love333 - 6 years ago

CJ your are one of the realest.. Sharing your mistakes and your accomplishments its inspiring in all aspects. Thank you for being so educational . I actually use some of your material to teach. Congratulations on reaching a milestone in subscribers!

googIereallysucks - 6 years ago

I'm not understanding when you say your nutrients went down to 0. You always say your nutrients are at 0. You said your sps were encrusting when you had 0 nutrients.

googIereallysucks - 6 years ago

CJ'S AQUARIUMS are you worried about the possible algae with the higher nutrients?

Bronx Reefer Brock - 6 years ago

Probably one of your best vids man! Keep reefing strong

Christopher Mastino - 6 years ago

CJ - If you watch the one video I made on YouTube of my 125 gallon and the one I will be making in a few weeks I you will see that we did the same thing. I had a thriving mixed reef and decided to go SPS. In preparation I switched over to the Aquaforest system and started adding SPS from WWC, Pieces of The Ocean, and a few other local LFSs. I pegged the parameters to the WWC suggestions and joined a few of the Aquaforest Groups on FaceBook. I bought a PAR meter and adjusted my Ocean Revive Lights. I had a great moth or two and then shit happens. Came home to the first white coral, then the next, and another. Multiple water changes, nutrient reduction, bubbling, nothing was working. I treated the tank with Melafix and Primafix to treat for bacterial and viral infections since a lot of people suggest that Vibrio may be a cause of these events and it was shortly after I had added a second clam to the tank that this started. Well this stopped everything dead in its tracks for a few weeks. Then did a water change and right back to losing a coral a day. I freaked again and sent a water sample to Triton for testing and everything looked pretty good. I scratched my head and was just like what the heck is going on as the tissue on my scolymias started to recede and immediately grow coralline on their skeletons. Long story short I grabbed my PAR meter again and checked the tank and was quite a bit surprised. The readings were off by about 20-40% in places from where they had been when things were going well. While I love the Ocean Revive lights, I think something ran amuck with them, and I am not sure what. Life has a strange way sometimes of giving you a reality check. Stability is key with SPS, from light, to nutrients, to filtration, and flow. My second video which will be coming out is about this and why I have to take the tank down. The room that it is currently in is going to be converted to a home office so I need a shorter tank and have gotten a Red Sea Reefer 525 XL. I am going to document the whole thing and hopefully share with others my trials and tribulations as you do. I have been with you since my 29 and 40 breeder when you were doing the JBJ. Then I bumped to the 125 and you the 120. I bee with you until the end.

Ellery Wong - 6 years ago

Sorry to hear but definitely a learning experience we've all gone through one way or another. From my experiences with acros, if you run higher alk you can get away with higher PO4. But if you run high alk and drop you NO3 <2-5ppm and PO4 <0.02-0.05ppm you can RTN . Also do only 1 change at a time.

CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 6 years ago

Ellery Wong never thought I’d try to reach the acro level in this hobby so soon... but I’m def learning about balance. It’s something that is multifaceted and always changing .. I agree less water changes moving forward. Thanks for watching

Fat Headed Fish - 6 years ago

Hoping you could help CJ, slowly converting my system so that I can run the triton Method. Currently setting up s refugium that is 10/20 percent of display. When and for how long should my refugium light be on? I’ve heard some people say have them on all the time, some people say opposite time to your main display lights? Any clarification would be great :)

CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 6 years ago

Fat Headed Fish I run my algae scrubber 18hrs on 6 off .. opposite of my display. Ultimately how long you leave yours on will depend on your tanks needs.. there is a direct correlation between length and photo period and nutrients removed. Find your tanks balance thru testing and observing your corals. Good luck!

Most valuable lesson I've learned in the hobby is if your tank is doing good don't change anything lol. I've learned that the hard way in my current tank when I rotated a rock 90 degrees, and I sent my green wrasse into a territorial rage against my yellow wrasse when they'd be happy together for a year.

Andrew Wolff - 6 years ago

Hey cj. After watching your vids and other reefers I finally took the leap from freshwater to salt. After letting my tank cycle I just put in a clownfish and a yellow tang in. In 2 weeks I will add another clown and a shrimp!
