over 20,000 pods went in the tank.. safe to say I should have a nice population... Check out Algae Barn for info if you want some for yourself... More updates to come on stocklist and other changes... Thanks for watching everyone!

Bulk Reef Supply did a study on floss changing... every other day had the biggest effect on Nitrates. Of course 3 days to a week is acceptable but there's some food for thought :)
Tom McManus
Tom McManus - 6 years ago
Protein skimmer will help a lot and change out the floss every 3 days - 1 week. Both will help dramatically. In conjunction check you flow. Look for the resting spots for food and adjust flow accordingly.

CJ'S AQUARIUMS hey bro thank you for the advice I just put in Marine pure media and it's only been there for 3 months I believe so I guess my media needs to mature more so my tank cut handle the bioload
CJ'S AQUARIUMS
CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 6 years ago
reef junkies I was doing 40% water changes weekly when my nitrates where high... eventually my sechems pond matrix media and tank matured to handle the nutrients ... dunno how old your tank is but I would worry too much... nitrates aren't as bad as people make it ... it will all balance out in time

CJ'S AQUARIUMS hey cj I have a question for you you had a 45 gallon jbj right and I noticed that you had a lot of fish in your tank how did you keep your nitrates down I have six fish which are wrasse and two Mandarin Dragon nuts and I'm getting nitrates of 25 ppm 30 PPM and I do weekly 10-gallon water changes and I feed my fish every other day so any tips how to get my nitrate down

I did not know that you had to acclimate the invertebrates I’ve been in the hobby over 10 years and I’m still learning new things is just amazing with this hobby you never stop learning and I also want to know the lies that you have the ocean revives for the legs how did you get those did they come with the fixture or did you have to pre-order them

another great informative video CJ. If I was to be new in the hobby, by watching your JBJ series and now this 120g series...
I would definitely be following all your tips and advice on how to start a Saltwater/Reef tank and be successful in the hobby.
I bet many of the new hobbyists has done exactly that. You have given many new comers and even experienced Reefers different insights about what to get and how to provide new ideas for us to acknowledge. We all learn from each other everyday.
This hobby isn't as hard as people fear/make it to be. The true keywords of "dedication" in this hobby are consistency, patience and awareness. Keep being an Inspiration CJ.
High 5!

is there a proper ratio of number of pods to gallons of water? are you planing on adding Amphipods also?
CJ'S AQUARIUMS
CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 6 years ago
PsyWAR Reefing not sure on ratios honestly... If I can see them on the glass at night then I'm happy with the amount I have in my system.. amphipods are always good to add ... I'd like to introduce them as well later down the road

Instantly one of my favorite videos CJ. Such good coverage of a process that is adding so much life cycle to your reef. Really enjoyed watching and seeing this get added as a notable event not just something you do to keep certain species alive. Can you give us an update down the track in the dark/macro video if you can see pods etc populating your sump, etc?

Ikky plays your schedule sounds fine to me... my lights are not as controllable otherwise I would have them dim as well
Ikky plays
Ikky plays - 6 years ago
CJ'S AQUARIUMS so are your corals always gna be out with this setting I have mine on 2pm till 11pm everyday mine are a mixture of all lights but the day light hours are 6 and a half hours then at 8:30PM the light is dimmer for the evening sun set and then at 10 they are all blue for 1 hour is this less light or normal ? I have a Duncan a flowerpot coral and a seabae anemone ?

I've not added pods in several years and I still get hatches on the glass regularly. I think those might be rotifers though. Great video, lots of excellent info!

Tons of pods! your fish will be happy campers. As for phytos i dump quite a bit in my tank with no negative effects. The filter feeding corals and pods both love it!

Cj I like these updates better then the live stream. because most of the time I miss them because I'm at work. By the time I get home the live stream is gone. If you could leave up the live stream for like 12 hours that be awesome before it gets deleted.

Matt Reefer
Matt Reefer - 6 years ago

CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 6 years ago

you need to add isopods...not copepods...all your pods will will be dead in the month because you have good wayer quality...and adding right after the cycle is bad too...if you have any unsuspecting spike in anything they will die...i learned from experience
CJ'S AQUARIUMS
CJ'S AQUARIUMS - 6 years ago
interesting point of view... Cant say I totally disagree... in a perfect situation id like to add them before predators.. I cycled this tank almost 2 months.. spikes are unavoidable but can be manged with patience.. and building a strong bacteria base...

isopods? Ive seen mixed stories on those becoming a pest or benefiting.. id prefer to stick with cope-pods & aimpipods in my system..

as far as my water being too clean? keep in mind my tank is already overstocked by general standards.. 14 fish and planning to add more.. and i feed heavy everyday.. on top of having phytoplanktin.. I don't expect to have those issues in this system.. But the great thing is ill be documenting every step of the way.. enjoy the ride.. thanks for watching..

I actually just came in second place for one of their giveaways that they had. I received a ton of pods and photo plankton like you did. Was very happy with their products!! Also my corals absolutely loved the photo plankton when i poured it in. My LPS swelled up and Acros increased their polyp extension even.
