A late Congratulations on your son! This video has been highly awakening for me. I have had a very successful reef tank for 15 yrs now and up until recently, free of coral eating pests. I am very frustrated at the lack of knowledge and help from my local reef store. Not having problems before with nudi’s or any other types of pests except aphasia I dont even know what to look for that may be the problem Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

My power went out for almost 3 days in a snow storm. Temperature dropped and had to set up a temporary tank at my girlfriends house 10 mins away. I was successful saving my 2 clowns and watchman goby and also my brothers 2 clownfish. Sadly i could only focus on so many fish at once and had to leave 2 freshwater fish at home in the cold and they passed away. I need to find a solution to running a heater during a power outage. Also had a bearded dragon in a shoebox with hand warmers because his heat lamp stopped working when the power went out. Not a fun time!

So today I did a 50% water change and well, realised after I almost finished filling it back up that I was using RO water not salt water. I quickly emptied 70% of water and lucky I had some extra salt water... So yeah, label your buckets lol

As always BRS comes up with sound advice on prevention of heartbreaking disasters..I'm moving towards full automation of my tanks keeping on hand everything you mentioned.
This worst tank disaster I faced was the 6.3 North Ridge,Ca. Earthquake my 60 gallon fresh water tank was thrown from its stand along with everything else in the house,making a terrifying situation even more so..broken glass,all that water and sand plus the fish I couldn't save...it wasn't until i moved out of California that I got back into keeping aquariums in my home.

I have had 3 disasters, the first was i broke my sump trying to remove a skimmer so i had to drain my tank and put everything into a 29, the 2nd was when i wanted to put a sump on that 29 so i drained it half way and started drilling and it turns out that the tank was tempered, the 3rd time was when my heater in my frag tank failed and roasted over $200 in corals

Tank got a bit cloudy, and my dad was tank sitting. He thought since chlorine helped clear up the pool it would help clear up the tank......worst disaster ever. I try not to let reef "strangers" house sit anymore.

I was electrocuted by a faulty wavemaker I had been in the sump the day before no prob then the next day as soon as my hand touched the water it was obvious something was wrong so I isolated each piece of equipment one by one until the problem was found as it turns out the wavemaker was the last thing I isolated so I was shocked multiple times but it had no effect on the fish or corals just wasn't pleasant for me

I don't think I've ever had to deal with any of this. The biggest panic I had was when I thought my seahorse was about to give birth and all the babies were going to be sucked into the sump and die. But then I learned that seahorses will often puff themselves up to be more attractive to their mate or to show off.

Thankfully you haven't had an issue! Hopefully you came up with a way to harvest the babies, if you get some. :-)

Had a brand new 6x3x3 foot tank crack the whole way along the base the first night I filled it up. Let's just say getting woken up at 2am to the sound of 1000litres of saltwater running through your house is not ideal. Fortunately there was only water in the tank as I had filled it to do a leak test so no gravel rock or livestock lost but the carpet in three rooms was destroyed.

Should liquid and live foods fall under the “quarantine all wet items going into the tank” umbrella?  That is to say, how likely is it to find ich parasites (for example) in a bottle of live, commercially distributed “pods”?
BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 7 years ago
Great question! Personally I wouldn't worry too much, but this is something to consider for those that are going to the extreme to prevent ich.

Since this was the disaster upload :-)

What is your input on grounding probes? Some say there will always be some volts in your tank & others say there shouldn't be?

Then some say dnt ground your system as it can cause electrolysis & poison your fish without you know the reason till its toooo late?

Do you guys have a volt reading in your tank currently. I CANT FIND A DEFINITE answer & i do trust you guys for some reason :-)

EDIT: Sry if someone did already ask this Q.

Thanks guys...
BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 8 years ago
It really depends. I would try unplugging equipment to nail down the source and replace it.
Martin Visagie
Martin Visagie - 8 years ago
Is there an acceptable amount of voltage for a tank? I measured 48v in my 100l (30gal) system..
BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 8 years ago
That's a really good question Martin. In our opinion, we prefer not to use them, simply because we feel that a small amount of stray voltage is better than actual current running through the tank. Instead, I would recommend installing GFCI outlets on two separate circuits. That way if there is a fault, the outlet will switch off protecting not only your tank, but you and your home as well.

Late teens, was on vacation out of the country for 2 weeks with family. My brother was watching the house and he had a party and a drunk guest bounced off my reef tank and it shattered. luckily I had 6 rescue/holding tanks nearby so they salvaged the fish and some coral. He didn't tell us till we got home.

It's tough to say for sure since a lot of the stuff that we added to the tank has been removed or replaced with other equipment in later episodes, not to mention the various pieces like the tank, stand, canopy, and sump that were graciously donated by Reef Savvy, Benners Woodworking, and Synergy Reef. Plus the corals that were donated by World Wide Corals, Battle Corals, Austin Aquafarms, and Unique Corals.

Red slime in my 75 reef and 80+ degree water for over a week are probably the worst I've had. I fixed the hot water by using an 18" pedestal fan to blow air over the tank/under the lights. 6 t5HO lights heat up fast...

The white fish at precisely 2:54 are a pair of Twin Spot Gobies. Pretty difficult fish to keep happy, but we've figured out a feeding method that is pretty good at keeping them fat and happy.

Great video again and welcome back. My only comment on this one regards the use of vinegar to offset alkalinity. You could be adding a large carbon source and depending how much you need, carefully handling diluted muriatic acid might be the better choice for the tank.

Hi Could you not use the Apex to control The BRS Dosing pumps?

I Just ordered the Vertex Cerebral and want to order the BRS dosing pumps to be controlled by it. I'm now starting to worry that is not possible to do now...

Please can you let me know if I could use the cerebral to control the BRS dosers with a probe monitor.

Unfortunately I don't. I would be pretty surprised if they let you bring a couple jugs of white powder on board though. It might not hurt to contact your airline.

BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 8 years ago
You absolutely can. Our dosers pump 1.1ml per minute, so the easiest way to set them up is on a timer program on the controller. Run the outlet/pump on for 10 minutes. and you'll dose 11ml for example :)

Heard the glass "pop" on my 155g bow front. Went to see what the sound was and noticed the black trim around the top was cracked in all corners and the seal on the front glass had water inside of it. This was a week before we went on vacation.....
Buddy had a 100g horse trough that I ran and got, drained water into it along with all my water change bins. Ran the reef inside the horse trough until I got the new tank setup that I found on craigslist that night. The tank wasnt ideal since it wasnt drilled and very dirty, but with my timing I had no choice. Had to drill it and spent hours cleaning it that night. Everything started around 2pm, had the old tank in the garage and the new tank in it's place waiting to be plumbed before I went to sleep that night. Huge disaster averted. I'm just glad it happened while I was home and not while we were on vacation.
Tank was up and running 3 days before we had to leave. Luckily everything ran perfectly those 3 days so I wasnt too worried about stupid stuff while we were gone.
The good that came out of it was the tank stand and canopy are furniture grade so the wife loves it. I also drilled and plumbed for a basement sump since I had the old tank out of the way and had the opportunity to.

My second to worst disaster was when my DOS pumped everything from the DDR into the tank. Fortunately the DDR doesn't hold that much and I didn't have much left in it. The logs from the DOS really helped me figure out exactly what went wrong and helped Neptune diagnose the issue, which was a circuit board inside the DOS got moist. Keep that DOS dry! First worst was a 12 hour power outage. What was bad is that I used my computer's UPS to keep the tank going on life support instead of my basement sump. The dual marine batteries on that sump drained and the basement flooded. Now I have a whole home Generac. Well worth the investment in my opinion. I never have to worry about power when I'm away from the house.

Unrelated to this episode, I was wondering if there is a limit as to the number of fish, corals rock and other living creatures one can put in their tanks? Or is even is there a limit? I have a 55gal tank and currently have 35lbs of live rock, 5 fish, a carpet anemone, a frag of star polyps, a fire shrimp, emerald crab, and 5 snails. Can or should I add another fish? How many corals can I add?
BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 8 years ago
When it comes to corals, you want to leave enough space between them so that they don't sting each other. It will vary on the coral and the tank. When it comes to fish, there is a point where they might not be comfortable, or your tank, maintenance habits, and biological filter can't keep up with the waste they produce. I would take a look at your nitrate levels and make a call from there. Keep in mind the fishes adult size as well.
GC8 Josh
GC8 Josh - 8 years ago
as long as all the corals seem happy and healthy and there is no agression twords ome another you should be ok. people have tanks that are absolutely loaded with corals. I'd just take your time adding corals tho. I would add a few at a time just so everyone can adjust to the new tank inhabitants and you can get good readings on how much calcium alkalinity and magnesium is being consumed by your new corals

Hey Ryan, Is there some way you could do an if, then, else, flowchart to help everyone of us that doesnt have the long term experience of problem solving from a chemical standpoint in our reef tanks? This would be very helpful in an emergency situation, or is there someplace you could direct us to for that information? I know you have covered all of those things in this episode, but it would be helpful to have a hard copy on hand.
Thanks for the great info in the 52 week series, it has been fantastic, keep up the great work cant wait until your able to ship to the Philippines. I will order all my equipment from BRS.

A bit embarrassing. The first time overdosed from the start , did not follow directions properly. I corrected dose no ill effects, nitrates did drop significantly . Second time I was testing my dosing pump for what should have been 15 seconds to make sure it was dosing the correct amount. I pulled out container from under dosing hose to measure got distracted and did not shut pump off. Later I noticed pump was still on did a 50% water change but this time had cloudy tank for a bit, bacterial bloom. After that figured maybe vodka dosing was not for me.

Oh damn Ryan! That's the same exact thing I did a month ago except I left the calcium going. I left it running for approx 8 hours and the calcium was higher than balls on a giraffe. I added some alkalinity component to equalize the imbalance and BOOM!! precipitate storm. I did a couple big water changes and everything works out in the end.

Patrick Testerman
Patrick Testerman - 8 years ago
Ouch! Heater failures are all to common - most manufacturers use fairly cheap bimetal thermostats that tend to fail on the on position. A couple tips to prevent/limit the damage: Use 2 smaller heaters instead of a single big one. That way if only one fails it will raise the temp slower and it likely won't get as high. Also a controller like a ranco temp controller, or a full aquarium controller like an Apex is a great safety net. They are much better constructed and more reliable than the heater thermostats. Set the heater thermostats a couple degrees higher than the controller, so they serve as a backup to turn off the heaters just in case the controller should fail.

Made an adjustment on my HOB Skimmer and then left shortly after that. Get a call from my wife when she got home saying the skimmer cup is overflowing fast and the power strip that sits under the tank was sparking and everything is off. Cant believe it didn't start a fire. Ironically this was less than a week ago.

Do you guys have a video on how to upgrade your reef tank to a larger one? If not, a video on this topic would be awesome. Maybe that video could follow the end of the 52 weeks series. Something like "So you finished watching our 52 weeks of reefing series and want to upgrade your tank. Here's what you should know." Keep up the good work.

Cerebra has HORRIBLE reviews. Stick with what works best over time...APEX.
BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 8 years ago
To get a good head start on things, I would recommend starting to cure some rock in a separate container. That way when you are ready to make the transfer, the rock is already cured for you and ready to go.
Ivan Santos
Ivan Santos - 8 years ago
+BulkReefSupplyCom It's a bummer you had to install the Apex on the 160. I really wanted to see you guys implement the cerebra in the tank to learn what its full capabilities are. But then again, keeping the 160 safe, comes first.
Ivan Santos
Ivan Santos - 8 years ago
+BulkReefSupplyCom My questions on this process are: should I use the water from my current tank for the new tank (I know I will need to produce a lot more new saltwater to fill up the tank)? can I immediately transfer my livestock to the new tank after setting it up? do I have to cycle the tank before I transfer my livestock? (this could be an issue as I want to set up the new tank in the same spot where my current tank sits and cycling would mean moving my current tank to another spot without tearing it down while I wait for the new tank to cycle and operating two tanks for a month) I want to go with the safest and most recommended alternatives as I want to do the process right (even if it means more work at the beginning) to prevent problems later and related stress. I have learned so much from your channel. It's what has made me want to upgrade to implement a lot of the things I learned in your videos with a new tank (I've implemented what I can in the current tank).
Ivan Santos
Ivan Santos - 8 years ago
+BulkReefSupplyCom Excellent! I currently have a 36 gallon without a sump but I'm thinking of upgrading to a 120 with a sump, new rock and sand. I used wet live rock to start my 36 gallon but it came with hitchikers, such as small brittle stars and vermetid snails, that I don't want to introduce to the upgraded tank, so I won't be transferring that live rock to the new tank.

Nothing like this one unfortunately - you'll likely have to go custom for something this size. The closest size we carry would be the Red Sea Reefer XL 525, or if you don't mind rimmed tanks the Red Sea Max S 650:

Ok, I see! Moves are always hard. Do you have the ability to setup a new tank at the other house prior to moving? That usually is best imo. Also, check out Flatworm Stop. It is designed to repel flatworms on acropora by thickening their slime coat which could help in a move.

BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 8 years ago
They are really cool fish, but let me highlight the feeding method we use to keep the alive and healthy - they are a notoriously difficult fish to keep alive. Our method involves target feeding them by loading the sand directly in front of where they are sifting with rotifers, brine, and other frozen fish foods. We have to do it every day, but so far this has been the best success we have experienced with this fish...they are fat!

Tank leak! Luckily we were at home (it woke us up before the leak detector kicked in) and we just went to it right away: pressure on the corner where the silicone had failed, cut the return pump, ATO and MP10 in "slow" mode to put as much water into the sump as possible. Then buckets and siphoning a bit more into the sump.

At the same time, sponging all the water that had splashed around (about 3 gallons).

This was on a very packed 25 gallon but we were able to save everything. Only a red dragon suffered a bit.

we once had a freshwater tank leak in the same room with a amphibian tank with a couple salamanders, so my dad switched everything in the tank to the amphibian tank and everything in the amphibian tank to the freshwater tank, then sealed the leak. it was a close one, but luckily it didn't shatter completely.
Frag Corals
Frag Corals - 8 years ago
I had two. The first one my heater stayed on and overheated the whole tank and cooked all the fish and coral. The second thing I had go wrong was I didn't realize the power of LED lights and I bleached all my coral The person at the Pet store told me that LED lights weren't too intense and should not hurt the coral at any setting. I did my research on them but I really felt that the person knew what they're talking about and believe them I'll never do that again. Thanks for all the videos I have learned so much about all aspects of a reef tank.

I had the side of my sump blow out completely. It was a DYI 40 gal breeder setup. I came home with a bag of new fish in my hand and noticed the display didn't look right. Went to the basement and it was flooded with an empty sump on the counter and a return pump blowing air. Luckily the sump was in the basement. But I now have an ALD from Neptune and BRS shipped me a Trigger Systems sump fast. This is a great video because this stuff will happen. And when it did BRS was just a phone call away and sent out what I needed fast.

Worst tank disaster (other): Not realizing how out of whack my RO/DI unit filters were, kept topping off with "clean" water, keep doing good water changes like we're supposed to, couldn't understand why corals were just dying..
Mike B
Mike B - 8 years ago
The membrane surely was suspect in some way, I put a TDS meter on the in and out, went from like 140 in to 35 out which didn't look right, new membranes brought that output number to 2. May have been the carbon that was out of whack too, I keep meaning to put on an actual flow meter to measure how much water goes through my pre-filters but never get around to it... probably the single easiest piece of equipment to get lazy with.
DarkSky

I had the same issue on my 10g. RO membrane went to crap and I purely relied on its supposed gallon lifespan instead of testing. I was going through DI resin like crazy but just chalked that up to our really bad city water in Plymouth, MN.

I usually rented a power generator for the power outages in the PNW but after renting it for 4 times I decided to just buy one (it would have paid itself already...). I've used it twice already so I'm happy with it!

As far my worst disaster, Kalkwasser and ATO failures.... learned my lesson there! Do not trust any equipment, no matter how good of a brand that is, they can all fail! My Apex energy bar failed (normal wear and tear according to Neptune Systems after 3 years of use) so relying on the controller to turn off the ATO is not the only solution, you need additional backups in case the controller fails (yes, I know, hard to believe but they do fail horribly). I've switched over to two part using the DOS for my Apex, have a smaller ATO reservoir (I used to have a 32G brute trash can for my 125G reef, now I have a 15G with just RODI water, not kalk) I bought the tunze osmolator and I've redesigned my sump so that in case the ATO fails, all the water that it will dump will still fit into the sump without overflowing into my floors and only impacting my salinity very mildly. I'm still worried that the energy bar will fail on the heater so I got a new one (the one that you guys use) just in case and I will switch it every year. I got extra sensors for salinity, leak detection and PH so that as soon as I detect something wrong my wife and I will get emails and SMS that something is wrong.
WaterspoutsOfTheDeep
WaterspoutsOfTheDeep - 8 years ago
Could put some warm water in a blender to mix the salt fast and pour it through a clean old pillowcase or some other fine cloth to filter the salt crystals that never dissolved instead of waiting for them to settle. In the higher powered blenders you can just put a bunch of salt mix in it and blend with no water to turn it into a fine powder which will make it mix faster and easier too but measurements will be off like a cup after turning it into powder would equal more salt than before because it's more compact.

Out of all the tanks I have I put my smallest (10 gallon) in my brothers bedroom. Woke up to him tell me it's leaking at 5 am a few months later. It was dumping water about half of it was gone when I go to it. Lucky being a 10 Gallon I just picked it up and put it in a bathtub and the 1 fish that lived in it I put in another other tank. Got a new one the next day for about $15 at Walmart.

FYI, you skirted major disaster because you're using 2 part. I've had something similar to me happen with my controller couNEPTUNEgh stuck on the "ON" position and emptied two 1/2 to 3/4 full 5gallon buckets of 2 part into my 180g tank. Woke up and noticed a Christmas setting everywhere, only thing lost was a Solon wrasse and I think that had to do with him being in his nightly mucus cocoon. If you had a failure with a calcium reactor things would have been much worse. The precipitation is what saved you.

I recently had an external protein skimmer dump about 5 gallons of water onto the floor resulting in my ato res being dumped into the tank. This all happened just after I went a way for the weekend. Thankfully my Mother Inlaw was able to stop by and clean up the water on the floor saving it and when we got home that night the salinity had only dropped 2 points so we were able to add saltwater to the ato for a couple days to bring it back up slowly. During that process we also complete moved the tank and found the stand was cracked. the system ran for a month with out the sump while a new custom stand was built and everything was moved again. We didn't loose any live stock at all and no major house damage. Just a vacation cut short and a new sump design for the new 90 gallon which adds the ATO res and the protein skimmer into the sump with the ability to allow extra water if there was an ATO issue to flow back into the ATO area meaning that all of the ATO res volume is captured with the sump no matter what happens. (No more water on the floor... Knock on wood)
