Week 52: Planning a reef tank upgrade, plus a look back at the BRS160 | 52 Weeks of Reefing #BRS160

http://brs.li/BRS160_Week52 Well, it's finally (and reluctantly here) the final week in 52 Weeks of Reefing. This week we are going in depth on planning and executing a tank upgrade. Plus, we'll show you the progression of the BRS160, some changes we would implement if we were to do it all over, some successes, and finish with a montage highlighting some key moments of the BRS160 over the past year. We will also explore some popular tank options like the Red Sea Aquarium series, Red Sea Reefer and Red Sea Max. As well as the innovative marine Nuvo aquarium and Nuvo fusion 20. http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/sumps-tanks-refugiums/tanks/innovative-marine-tanks.html http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/sumps-tanks-refugiums/tanks/red-sea-complete-aquariums.html *Legal Stuff* The purpose and content of this video is to provide general information regarding the products and their applications as presented in the video.

This series made me a customer of BRS to help support future video series like these. Wish there was a similar series for planted freshwater tanks. Well done!

Fantastic video series for a new reefer such as myself. I recently watched all 52 episodes in a couple weeks. I can say these videos very clearly show the passion BRS has for helping expand the hobby and I very much appreciate the non-biased information! I am sold on BRS and I encourage you to continue to produce videos like this in the future. You have earned my business!

Hi BRS,
I have to tell you that the BRS 160 series has layed out a clear path of how to set up a successful sps tank. You have showed that it is possible. You have reignited the reef aquarium dream in me. You should look forward to seeing me spend substantial amounts of money with you in the near future.

Amazing series I just watched the whole thing. I've always wanted a reef tank and with the information in this series at my disposal, I feel more confident in attempting it. I'll buy what supplies I can from BRS as a thank you, I'm from Canada so I assume there will be restrictions on some items.

Chief Penny Pincher you have created an addict with this series! I wanted to learn as much as possible before diving into arguably one of the most expensive hobbies in the world. I spent 3 days watching dozens of different channels all of which pretty much covered the same basic 20 minute crash course with little or no variance. Except one who mentioned he really liked your channel. So i peaked at it.. a week later i have watched all 52 episodes of this #brs160. As a small buisness owner i would love to have guys with half the passion of ryan and letting him show off in this manner only shows the trained eye how good a company you guys have! You have created one hell of a loyal fan! My only request is that maybe spend the time on fish as you guys did lights, controllers, and some of the other tech. I understand thats where the money is and what you sell but the one episode just seemed a little skimpy since those fish is why most of us even give this hobby a look! Thanks again for letting this happen hope that little guy is enjoying his terrible twos!

I can see that a lot of effort (and money) went into making this series. I think it's a really positive contribution to the reef-keeping hobby in general, and was very informative for me, so thanks for that. I liked that you did a series on alkalinity, calcium and reactors, it was not only informative but fun to watch also. I've personally never used two part, so I liked being able to see how you guys set that up. The same for the series on lighting, just awesome.
I totally agree with you that shopping for, selecting and installing a controller right at the beginning of the series probably would have made life much easier for this build but even with that said, I think it turned out better this way for the viewers because we got to see a broader view of the other possibilities using other equipment. Maybe you see it as a mistake but overall I think most people would agree that it ended up just adding to making it more informative.

Thanks! We have done quite a few videos about 2-part dosing that may help walk you through how it is implemented. I know we have hundreds of videos, but if you use the video search block on our channel, it should pull up the main ones! :-)

Have thoroughly enjoyed watching this series. I still don't have a reef, even after nearly 10 years of thinking and planning. I'm one of those do it once type guys and won't start until I have the money, as well as a proper grasp of the minute details. This series has definitely cleared up dozens of questions and concerns I've had in the back of my mind over the years.

As I have a 3x2x2 rimless sitting idle, and in line for eventual reef conversion, I'm quite interested in Ryan's office tank and what has gone into its set up and design. Is there a link to threads or videos regarding this tank?? Thanks for a great series!
BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 7 years ago
Thanks for watching, Adam! I bet it is hard to see so many reefs during your education into the hobby, without running one of your own. I know it would be hard for me! ;-) Ryan's office tank is now in the Customer Service department and will be soon be a part of our BRS Office Tank feature. Keep your eyes out for that video!

QUESTION: With the Video talking about ZEOVIT and Carbon Dosing you mentioned or in a comment that you removed the marine media to not interfere with this? Does the bacteria grow on that media prevent bacteria from colonizing on the Bio Pellets or Zeo Vit ? I love the Marine Media Squares and Bio Balls But I could move to Another Tank
BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 7 years ago
I took the blocks out because one of the best parts of Zeovit is it is a proven system with, direct instructions and proven results based on following them. I felt it was a better idea to follow them and not mess with things.

Hi brs. Are you saying that a chaeto refugium is unnecessary since you're doing carbon dosing? why can't you use both UV and carbon dosing?
BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 7 years ago
When it comes to Zeovit, definitely. The two systems will compete with each other, and you won't get much algal growth out of the refugium. When it comes to UV and carbon dosing, a carbon dosing system relies on bacterial additives being added to the tank. While most of the bacteria in these additives will make their way to the surfaces in the tank like rock and sand, at first it;s possible they could be filtered out by the UV. Plus, the Zeovit system has a pretty comprehensive guide with proven success, so I prefer to stick with what they recommend.

All are great videos, but ones on rock and coral placement, focusing on fundamental setups were most valuable to me as I've moved and re-setup, added rock, power heads, sump, ATO, and a refugium in the last 8 months. I now am prepping to add more corals since the system is stable. My point is, I have confidence in my actions because the BRS team has produced this greats series. Anytime I need info, I simple search for your videos. As for the money man, I bought 95% of the items listed above from BRS so you got that going for you. Thanks for the great series!

Greta series which i learned a lot from and reinforced other things i already knew or had heard. The only drawback was BRS refused international shipping to me so i was not able to support the store with purchases. Changing that policy would allow a lot more Australians to purchase items from you and support the business.

Thanks Aaron! We haven't ruled international shipping out yet, but it's not in our immediate plans.

Heres sort of a challenge and a tank I personally would love to see you try to attempt a predatory reef tank. In this application do everything like you did it in this except on a larger scale to accommodate the large fish in a larger tank. Personally I would recommend a tank of these dominions 96"Lx30"Wx36"H being about 400 Gallons to give each fish its territories and keep the piece. This would be a great chance to show just how much these products can really do. In 52 weeks of reefing you showed us lots of very fancy and expensive products that wow can handle a tank that’s fairly lightly stocked that’s so shocking that most of us can or have done as good if not better with something 1/3 the cost. So for all those guys out there like me do something 90% of use never could a predator reef. Now for the fun part the stock list.

Fish 1 Clown trigger, 1 Queens Angel, 1 Miniatus grouper, 1 Red coris wrasse, 7 Sammara Squirrelfish, 1 Bi-color goatfish, 1 Reticulated puffer, 2 coral catsharks and 3 sailfin blennies

Corals frogspawns, hammers, torches, octospawns, elegance, bubble corals, Galaxia, assorted softies, and plat corals you could do nothing but leathers but that’s just too easy.

Now the reason I say that this is a challenge is because I want to see you attempt this do to the fact that I don’t think your newest fancy expensive equipment is worth the money and honestly I don’t think the BRS team or the new equipment your trying to sell us could handle the undertaking. Ohh and don’t worry even if you shoot this idea to your CEO because it presents a good challenge he’ll probably say no since he doesn’t want to show that the products can’t handle it.

That sounds like a fun tank to do! When it comes to the 52 Weeks of Reefing series, we tried to cover a wide array of equipment to appeal to most of our customers, and then install what we would personally use/or have had success with in the past on the tank itself. You can absolutely have a tank with less expensive equipment and methods, but we're gear junkies :P

Congratulations on completing the series Ryan! This was by far the best "How To" reef tank series I have ever seen. Not only was watching this reef tank grow neat, but seeing you as a real person, getting married and have a first born was pretty awesome to share. Maybe one day you can be the dad like me (4 kids and scout master) and I can be the reefer like you!

As far as favorite video, Im a go with the lighting series. I knew on my 110 I was going all LED and already bough the fixtures. After seeing this series, I reconfigured my canopy and shoehorned in 2 HO's The tank is only 18" so that is all I can fit with my hydras. No other video made me go back and rethink or re-plan any other detail.

I disagree with your controller comment. In hindsight, no one who already decided they want a controller would build the tank first, then go back and redo everything for the controller, so you are correct in that regard. However, there are several different controller sand several different schools of thought. I think had you settled on the controller first, you might have lost some followers.

Just like the Zeovit, had you decided to do Zeovit first, you might have lost a lot of people. But you did not, because you went over the carbon, the UV and the refugium, which applies to most of us, before revealing the Zeovit direction. Honestly, had you come out and said, we are BRS and we are building the Zeovit 16o with the new Apex Controller, I probably would have never followed.

You were best serve to develop a series that applied to the widest audience possible and I think you achieved it. Congrats! Looking forward to the updates.

Would it be weird to have to reversed where the leds come on and go off first? My reasoning would be because I like how the leds fade on and off, allowing to fish to find a hiding space for the night as opposed to abruptly going dark and having to scramble in pitch darkness to find a place.
BulkReefSupplyCom

IIRC, the T5's are on from 9 to 5, and the LEDs from 10 to 4.

Unfortunately did not see you wandering around at MACNA, but that could be because I was a bit awestruck with how large the whole show was.

I am looking forward to seeing the videos of the speakers though as there were a few that I missed that I really wanted to see but due to logistical issues (like talking to quite a few vendors) time did not allow me to pop in and see.

Great Series, it had me contemplating on building a mega reef. However, I moved to Guam and have not a clue on how to get the things I need way out here :( Good thing I have the real reef right on the back yard, but it sure doesn't make me feel any better. I will have to live my reef dreams through you guys.

Ryan, let me thank you for putting this series up, been in the hobby over a decade but it sitll gave me a view of what else is there. It really gave me inspiration to start up a new tank and use some of your advice with ways to go. I mean your series was so great that I genuinely got bummed when your had to leave for your baby (I understand though).

Just came back from MACNA, and got a Seneye coupon code too from BRS, so looking forward to picking one of those up later. I really hope to see more like this, and in fact when I get the time, I'm going to sit down with the tablet and watch the serious from the beginning again.

I treated myself to my first MACNA this year so this was the first time I couldn't watch an episode of 52 Weeks of Reefing at home with my Saturday morning coffee.  Thank you so much for offering such a great series.  The scope and magnitude of this tank progression  was epic.  You kept me thinking about what I wanted and maybe what I needed.  Every week you gave me options.  Now I have more to think about than ever.  Your efforts were much appreciated and I believe you've pushed every reefers aspirations just a bit further.  Thank you.

What's the total investment cost on an aquarium like this?

Honestly, quite a bit. We haven't had a chance to calculate the cost yet. The tank stand and sump were donated by Reef Savvy, Synergy Reef, and Benners Woodworking, and the corals by Austin Aquafarms, Battle Corals, Worldwide Corals, and Unique Corals.

I have just watched all your BRS160 videos in a week and i find them very helpful :P im getting a 265 us gallon tank this weekend and i really cant wait, your videos have convinced me to go with T5 particularly the ATI Sunpower dimmable im looking at 8X80w,it will be a mixed reef

What bulbs would you run for the best coral growth ?
Thanks in advance
BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 7 years ago
That's awesome! I'm a big fan of ATI Blue Plus for both growth and color. I tend to go pretty heavy with them. Honestly though, bulb choice is pretty dependent on your eye and what you envision your tank to be.

AMAZING series, The amount of information and products shown is great for this hobby. It is rare that you can see a piece of equipment being set up and used since there are a tremendous amount to chose from. The Idea of a T5 and LED set up from a manufacture is awesome especially if you get to pick which T5 bulbs you want sent along with the combo. I am curious on the price tag the tank cost at this point. I know there were a huge amount of equipment used that is no longer in service but just a general idea of the cost at this point would be appreciated. Can't wait to see the next thing that is produced.

Thank you very much for the series.
BulkReefSupplyCom

Thanks Jason! Honestly if we tallied it, it would be very very expensive - hopefully someday soon I'll get a chance to do it :)
Matthew Redmond
Matthew Redmond - 7 years ago
For the past year I have loved seeing this series. The only thing I would like to see is maybe a 30-40 minute condensed video that we could show to a new reefer to get them a good idea of costs. Also a "penny saver" video would be good, explaining what you can do to save money, what is acceptable to buy used and what isn't. All in all it has really helped me be successful and I wanted to thank you guys.

With the exception of the tank and stand, I've purchased all of my equipment through BRS, the reason I even knew about your website was because when I was researching how to set up a saltwater tank on Youtube and I came across your videos. I am happy to report I have been successfully keeping an aquarium since November, so much of my knowledge and success is thanks to your videos. Please continue to make videos to help us members of the reefing community... Should this request get denied I would just like to thank you for all the trouble you went through making these videos and I for one am very grateful.

BRS has done this hobby a huge favor by producing this fantastic series. A company that puts this much effort into providing everyone with the knowledge they need to have success most definitely has my loyal support. Whenever I come across someone that is interested in the hobby I always point them to the 52 Weeks of Reefing.

My favorite episodes are:
Week 19: Compelling data for using T5 on your reef tank
Week 29: Calcium & Alkalinity
Week 48: Solving your reef tank's algae problems forever
Week 51: What you need to know to cure fish disease & parasites

Thanks for all the hard work and I'm really looking forward to watching the MACNA speakers!

I was on the fence about getting into the hobby due to the cost and a high failure rate.

Chris Hendrickson - 7 years ago
I've learned a lot. Thank you. Some of the stuff you have covered shortly after I have done or delt with the topic but your series has shaped where my reeling hobby has gone. We started with a 60 gallon and just over labour day upgraded to a fully custom reef ready 90 gallon with built in overflow and after having a custom tank I would never buy an off the shelf tank again. Part of that is here in Canada a 70 gallon standard tank costs $400 plus tax and my custom 90 was shipped to my door and the way I want it for $430 with tax and shipping. Also your lighting videos have driven home the use of a par meter which is next on my list to get.. I look forward to your next series of videos.

i went from not really knowing a thing about aquariums beginning of 2016 too setting up and 120g lps tank, i watch these videos 100 times and made a similar build to the brs 160. i drilled glass. overflow, sump/ refugium built custom stand(thanx to DIY king)even a water change station that pumps straight to the tank. these videos were invaluable. worth every penny. and would love to see more. unfortunately im in northern canada so resources are limited and costly for shipping or i would of ordered from BRS.:) wouldnt love in depth video series on disease/pest/infections/algee, diagnosing ,identification , treatments and quarantine methods and troubleshooting. if there isnt one already.

One thing I would LOVE TO SEE: A spotlight on "non-reef" tanks. While BRS really focuses on reef tanks...(wonder why lol), it would be cool to do some other saltwater setups. It would be cool to see some suggestions and equipment changes made on well done fish-only tanks or maybe even a marine planted aquarium.

I'm new to the hobby, but was wondering why there would be a problem with using sand from a previous tank when people will go out and buy live sand. Would live sand sold by manufacturers have some detritus in it as well?
BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 7 years ago
It depends on the source, but a lot of the available sand out there is pretty heavily processed.

Tell your "Chief Penny Pincher" (great name) that this series as well as all the other videos you guys have produced, re-ignited my desire to get back into saltwater aquariums and to consider a reef tank. With that said once we are in our new house I will be purchasing the Reefer XL 525 and the majority of setup systems from BRS. Your information is a great value to me and I appreciate that are also posting the speakers from MACNA. Thanks "Chief Penny Pincher" for supporting the vision of using the modern tools the Internet has provided to support this amazing hobby.

WaterspoutsOfTheDeep - 7 years ago
In other videos you guys had a tank with purple dry rock and put in a bunch of black and white clowns is this the same tank and you guys changed it? By the way I like your guys videos it's really helped me get into salt water and your site is easy to use but with lots of information which I like. Ordered some of my stuff when I started out from you guys a few weeks ago. Your free shipping on any order without jacking up the prices really makes it practical to order from you guys thanks. You guys should do some more videos on all the smaller office tanks and what they use and have found to be liking.

Definitely love this series - and absolutely love all of the team there. Anytime I contact with a question or concern, It is promptly addressed, professionally handled; but most of all, I feel that there are times where I could be sold something that "would work" but would definitely not be "the best" for my system and the honesty of the people I talk with in getting what is "THE BEST" for my setup and system is always what is pushed for. That makes me want to come back over and over because I know it's not JUST about making a buck - You guys care. Never lose that.

Hey Chief Penny Pincher! Back the &*$# off. These videos are amazingly informative and entertaining. I used to make my major purchases through MarineDepot.com. Then one day on youtube, I stumbled across a prepubescent monotone Ryan seemingly nervous and camera shy talking about Carbon and GFO reactors. Boy he's come a long way, Bravo. I'm still wondering if he will ever cut his hair? So quit the pinching and grab some scissors.

I learned more from this series than I have form 10+ years of reading forums. I'm all for forums and getting lots of diverse opinions, but honestly they almost always devolve into an argument that wastes everybody's time. Also, most "experts" are just parroting something they read in another thread. "Just search" right? No. So in the case of this series, I'm happy to defer to your expertise and experience. It's really a bible for new/intermediate reefers. The level of detail was deep, the delivery was clear and concise, and the information was backed up with data (the lighting episode in particular). Great job and beautiful tank. I thought it was kind of a good thing when your dosing went sideways. How many people have made the same mistake? Way to air out your dirty laundry and own it. The production values look expensive, but honestly it made it much more watchable than similar offerings form Marine Depot for example. It was worth it.

Of all the hobbies I've sunk massive amounts of money and time into over the years, I can't recall ever having seen an instructional series like this. Thanks for doing it and looking forward to what's next.

Didn't have favorite episode, but I did enjoy how with everything you have available to u u would install something then a few episodes later change it when I thought that it was great the first time, I will say the cobalt heaters are the best for consistency those.

I'm certainly going to miss this series. This had been without a doubt the best well produced series of videos out there that covers all the basics of setting up a tank. Can't wait for what comes next and the progression/update of the BRS160. I hope your CEO is reading this message. Your CEO should be fire if he feels like this "expense" is not justified and don't think that this is the best advertisement you guys have made. I can't imagine the transit growth you guys have got to your site since you started producing this high quality material. This series have been in mouth and forums all over the place. It is the most go for any beginner before starting in the hobby.

amazing series fellas. as a new reefer I have to say I feel like I expanded my level of knowledge and will be going back and rewatching some of the videos to make sure I have a complete understanding.

as far as "used" sand goes, wouldn't the fresh sand have much less detritus and nutrients in it because of dilution and turn over? seems like in a closed environment like a tank the nutrients would be more concentrated.

Thanks! Absolutely, older sand will collect detritus over time, especially if you aren't cleaning it regularly. That is why I would recommend using new sand, or rinsing your old bed very very well when setting up a new tank

Your ceo might be a penny pincher, but throughout this series I made a lot of improvements in my aquarium. Went from LEDs to t5 ho hybrid lighting, started using zeovit which I've seen a big difference and I gained so much new knowledge. So in all tell your penny pinching ceo it's an investment worth taking.

It seems lately the trend is to keep some nitrate in the tank, 2-5 ppm, or the sps will start to pale. How are you keeping colors with no nitrate?
BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 7 years ago
That's a big factor in the Zeovit system. We strip out the nitrate and phosphate using one part of the Zeovit system, and then add back what the corals need using KZ supplements like Coral Vitalizer.

Do you ever plan on adding an anemone? When do you recommend adding an anemone? I have a Red Sea 350 and has been running for about a month. All my Acropora are doing very well. I have an anemone in holding, but not sure when to add it to my new tank. Thank you.
BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 7 years ago
Honestly we probably won't in this tank. We have too much invested in the corals. The last thing we want is for the anemone to decide to walk around the tank and sting the other corals. If we did add one, we probably would have done so after the corals.

Great series! Thanks for all your hard work. I've been looking into the hobby for a few years but it seemed like too much to take on. This tutorial series layed everything out so clearly it felt like this was the time to go for it. My system just finished cycling, so exciting! (but I'm going to take it slow on the stocking). Both Ryan's are great communicators and are excited to share their knowlage about the hobby and it shows. BRS is my go-to for all my tank stuff and the BRS TV channel is why, keep up all the good work!

Fantastic series. Great shame that it is over. Looking back at some of the topics covered, there is one aspect I would love you to respond to and/or make a video on. For your setup you have a room behind the tank where you have installed all your  equipment. The equipment required for a smaller tank, say a 48"x18"x24", as I have, compared with a 72"x24"x24" tank is likely to be very similar or the same. For most of us an aquarium is a piece of furniture in our living rooms that needs to fit in with the décor and needs to be standalone. This makes fitting all that equipment in to the cabinet an interesting exercise to say the least! Fitting the sump with skimmer and auto top up, fluidised filters, UV, power distribution, controllers etc etc is very difficult and I would love to make it neat and tidy as you have but the reality is that despite my best efforts it is far from that! It is safe with drip loops etc but I would love to get some advice etc on how to go about fitting equipment in and making it neat. Is it
possible or is it just a case of doing the best you can?
BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 7 years ago
Ahhhh, touche. I like to use those little stick on clamps that have a ratchet on them. That way you can run cords through them, and un-ratchet them when you need to pull the cord out.
Peter Davies
Peter Davies - 7 years ago
Interesting concept. Here in the UK we don't tend to have basements. I have heard a lot of people putting sumps in their garage. In my case I live in a town house and the lounge and therefore aquarium is on the first floor. It means I have to fit it in to the cabinet somehow. I agree planning is key, but as things change and get updated it gets harder.
BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 7 years ago
organization and planning is key, but if you are having trouble fitting everything under the tank, my favorite thing to do is run a remote sump in your homes basement.

Great series!! I would really love to see a similar series on creating a Nano Reef Tank like the ones i see on the BRS employee's desks. Even though there isn't as much buffer from mistakes on the smaller tanks, they look much more approachable than large setups and for someone who doesn't have the space could possibly be the only option.

I started my first salt water tank almost to the week that the BRS160 started. I didn't discover the podcast until week 8 or so. My life would be completely different if I'd seen this series before starting out. All the books I studied diligently didn't provide a fraction of the practical information I've got from the BRS160. I've had massive ups and downs including a complete wipe out of my fish to velvet (I thought I'd saved 2/3 of them until my hastily made hospital tank crashed after about a month...). I started out going to a number of LFSs and my initial favourite was the one I picked to buy my first tank from. After a couple of bad experiences and being told of a little shop that only opened on weekends I now only go to this shop (advice from Ryan - pick one shop you trust) and if it wasn't for the help and advice of this LFS and BRS I would have quit the hobby and would have a new tetra tank. This little Ozzie LFS was represented at MACNA and I love the idea you guys may have crossed paths. I can't pick a favourite episode but really liked the mini series on corals. What I really liked was the honesty and acknowledgment of realities most reefers live with and explaining what didn't work out as expected and how you changed and adapted based on your experience. I do have Tunze circulation pumps and Kessil lights:) If I wasn't in Oz I'd certainly be buying form you because of your podcasts. I'm going to miss the excitement of new episode on Saturday morning. And I know you guys don't get it but the music was an inspirational choice and I love it and I've got it on loop as I sit and enjoy my own tank. Thanks, it's been great!

Hey. Thanks for all the great videos!
I have a question regarding the Zeovit stones. Do you have any "real" data on what they do?
Would be really interesting to see how much of an effect they have without the dosing.
I have ben trying to test this i my own tank, by removing the skimmer and other filter media and only using the stones. But my method is not that scientific and I have a limited bioload.
Any thoughts on this subject?
I'm not looking for a quote from the Zeovit manual, I'm looking for real scientific evidence. Or ideas on how to test it :)
BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 7 years ago
In theory they directly absorb ammonia from the water column before it has a chance to turn into nitrate. You could potentially compare a control against a set dose of ammonia to a container containing stones.

an sps tank like the brs 160 is appealing to many ppl , but how many dig into it ?

whats the cost of it in these 52 weeks , instead u could build 2-3 diferent tanks from very low to medium demand and showcase how easy is to start reefing and not how expensive it is ... seriously guys , for the expense of one single light fixture what could u build ? 2-3-5-15gs ?
BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 7 years ago
That is very true, and I can see where you are coming from. A tank like this isn't for everyone. That being said we chose to do the series based on what we might personally setup, along the way covering the many other options that are out there before settling on our choice.

Have to say a huge thanks to Ryan and BRS for producing these videos.  I've spent the better part of the last year siting through the anticipation on Thursday night for what would be coming on Friday!  These videos actually got me back into the hobby after 15 year break and the small system I started up is now full of thriving LPS and SPS the entire family is enjoying every day, plus I've started build of a 300g display with dedicated fish room in my basement.  Now that I think about it I've emptied my wallet a bunch of times on the BRS website over the last year as well so maybe that's the best way I can show appreciation...haha.  Seriously though, thanks a lot guys for the effort.

Stumbling across this series is definitely the reason I finally pulled the trigger and set up my first reef tank. These videos make the research fun and exciting. Everything that went into my new reef tank came from BRS from the sand to the skimmer and ATO. No comparing the info provided or the production quality. Next BRS studio investment should be some CGI for RT's mustache. You guys are awesome!

Why is no good idea to use uv with carbon dosing?
BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 7 years ago
Christopher nailed it!
Christopher Sanchez
Christopher Sanchez - 7 years ago
The carbon dosing supports a free swimming bacteria colony that consumes the nitrates and phosphates. The UV kills/sterilizes any free swimming bacteria colonies. The two methods work against each other. If you want the benefits of carbon dosing with UV, you will be limited to bio-pellets.

In a similar way if you were using dry rock: it simply makes its way into the tank on corals and snail shells. You can even add scrapings of coralline from a tank you trust to accelerate growth.

First, I love this series!! I watch a lot of YouTube and the two finest channels to watch are BRS TV and Tidal Gardens. The information and beautiful photography are top-notch. The information you have provided in the "52 Weeks" series is invaluable and a must watch for newbies as well as seasoned reefers. I'm going to be starting a new build soon and you can bet I'll be using your series every step of the way. I've looked forward each week for a new installment, very much like Ralphie in "A Christmas Story", watching his mailbox for his "little Orphan Annie Decoder Ring". Secondly, I was thrilled to hear you would be filming the speakers again this year at MACNA. I've watched your previous segments several times each. It's very lucky for the reefers, whom can't attend, to be able to see the speeches given by this industry's leaders. Thank You So Very Much for all the hard work and time each of you has devoted to providing us with volumes of information and entertainment.

If your CEO is giving you a hard time, you can tell him I'm a customer of this company and will continue to be loyal to it because of this series. I started watching this series knowing nothing about reefkeeping and have learned so much. Learning new things every day is part of what has gotten me addicted to the hobby. I watched every episode at least twice and also have been watching almost every video in your channel. I particularly enjoy your attention to detail and specific recommendations. My favorite episodes were weeks 35-37 discussing corals, but I also enjoyed the week about producing water (which prompted me to buy one of your RODI systems) and the week discussing pests, which helped me to deal with my GSP and vermetid snails problems. You guys are awesome and I hope you keep doing videos like this. You should do some videos with the cerebra implemented on a tank to see its full capabilities. Can't wait for the next series.

You guys are by far the best! I can't thank you enough for everything. You always have my business.Please keep the videos coming. Probably my favorite BRS160 videos were the ones on lighting. I'm now putting a combo of T5s and Radions Gen 4 over my tank.

Thank you for this series. I really got a lot from the lighting and calcium alk mag episodes. If I could have a lighting fixture like what you created I would be set as I have a 360's now. I'm looking forward to videos of future projects you guys have come a long way since the early videos where you looked like you were afraid of the camera lol.

52 weeks!! Congrats!! Thanks to everyone involved for an awesome and informative series.

Since you mentioned it, it would be cool to see a video or two on your thoughts on setting up a 40g breeder...something along the lines of a budget-build perspective. :)

We do have an older series on just that actually, check it out here:

I very much appreciated this series. I had a couple of tanks, but this series made me obsessed with Reefing again. After taking a year, and watching each episode multiple times I have started a new build in my basement. I started the prep work (electric, sink in fish room, planning the system) a couple of weeks ago. I am even coming to MACNA this year from Toledo, and hope to see you guys there.

I thought this was a great way to end your series. Ironically enough the new build is a 48x24x24 rimless. You can tell your boss I planned every detail of my new system after watching your series. I picked out all of my equipment, over $6k all through BRS. I was actually going to pull the trigger this past Sunday on your Labor Day 10% sale, but decided to wait until after visiting MACNA to confirm every equipment selection. I justified the $600+ opportunity expense because of your investment in the community, series like this, I would continue to buy from BRS regardless!

I loved this series, thank you for taking the time to make it. I learned a lot from watching the progress of the BRS160 and can't wait to apply what I have learned! I can't wait to see what you guys put out next! Also, like many others my favorite episodes were the ones on selecting livestock and feeding corals but I am also partial to the one about the rollermat which I think is pretty cool.

This was a fantastic series! I think it should be required viewing for all beginning reefers. I try to support my LFS as much as possible, but when I need something they don't have or can't get, BRS is the first place I look. The website and customer service have been outstanding for me- THANKS

I really enjoyed this series. I ve looked at it every week and have learned a lot, tons. I enjoyed the lighting series and have since added a pair of T5s to my Maxspect razors. I am liking how it looks. Really great job.
Thank you
BulkReefSupplyCom
BulkReefSupplyCom - 7 years ago
Nice! Honestly it depends on what color you are looking for, but I might consider either an aquablue special and a purple plus for a whiter look, or two true actinics for a bluer look.

Please keep doing these long term, weekly, project specific videos. The 52 weeks series gave me something to look forward to every week. Also, another comment stated it perfectly, the youtube channel creates a consumer connection to Bulk Reef Supply; for the last year or two almost all of my tank purchases have come from BRS because I enjoy the videos and have learned so much from your videos. I've become a lifelong customer and recommend BRS to friends every chance I get. Side note, customer support through facebook is always a pleasant experience, even when I ask the same stupid questions over and over =D

this has been an excellent series. especially for people like me who's fairly new in the hobby. I Can't Stand to read. and anytime you ask a question that's all anybody tells you to do. So when I see anything that has any length to it I won't even look at it. I've learned a lot from the series I have more to learn so I need to rewatch some videos. thank you Mr. Ryan and the BRS crew.

We were just talking about this on the way to MACNA. We are really happy with the rock. The tank looked mature from day one, and we prevented any unsightly grey or green rocks for the first few months.

Thank you so much BRS team! I have always wanted to start a salt water tank after having only fresh for years and thought I knew how to start one. Boy was I wrong! not only did you guys explain every step of the process, but did so in a way that was easy to understand and set everyone up for success. I find myself going back and watching my favorite episodes not only to learn, but also because they are so entertaining. I can't wait to start my reefing hobby with the help from you guys. Cant wait to see more!

What lights would you out on a Red Sea 525 ? For sps and lps

That tank is a little tricky to light due to it's 5 foot length. A good option in my opinion would be a 5 foot T5 fixture.

The previous few weeks of episodes dealing with problems such as algae, pests and fish disease were excellent to the point that I can safely say they are reference videos. I also enjoyed episodes dealing with less common equipment just as a curiosity. For example I always wondered about ozone and your episode on that was pretty thorough.
