Episode 81 pt2,The Jackson Hole WY Reef Tank, LA Fishguys

[RussianSpetsnaz0123]

hey I was wondering is live rock only for saltwater

[lafishguy]

hey R, Live Rock from a saltwater environment is only good in a saltwater environment. I am sure you could find Live Rock that came from a Freshwater environment to use in a Freshwater application.

[ObviouslyAwsome]

Do you need a refrigeration unit on a reef tank?

[lafishguy]

hey O, depending on the size and number of pumps and lights you may need a chiller to maintain a steady water temperature.

[CORALnFISH]

hey jim do you know n e were in england that sells acrylic square saltwater tanks 60 70 gallon or places in the us that ships to england thank ross oh and check out my vids of my tanks and other peoples i know

[CORALnFISH]

hey jim do you know n e were in england that sells acrylic square saltwater tanks 60 70 gallon or places in the us that ships

[lafishguy]

hey C, not in England but you can import from US, look at MyFishTankDOTcom

[MrJcampbell8118]

What protein skimmer would you recommend for a 75 gallon?

[lafishguy]

hey M, watch episode 88 and make you own decission based on your application.

[Arteolike]

People who keep corals, and do all this kind of stuff, do you think their part of the problem or the solution to our ding reefs?

[lafishguy]

hey A, obviously I am biased, but I do believe that many of the corals offered today are tank-raised frags which has much less an affect of coral reefs.

[Arteolike]

@lafishguy Yeah, with some corals, only people in aquariums might have these living wonders, so i actually think that having reef aquariums, the Ocean Preservation Society should give some benefits, cause in a sense, your "Storing" corals, if in three years a specific coral dies, only left in home aquariums, theses still hope. Or if people raised corals, and gave coral frags to be seeded in the ocean, and the OPS gave benefits for that, That would be awesome!

[whereswalid]

y is the tank in a garage??? lmao

[thatmalibu]

what is the co2 tank for?

[lafishguy]

hey T, its for the calcium reactor. keep watching the balance of the episode.

[edguevarra9703]

how many month can you wait to have a coralline in your tank?



[lafishguy]

hey E, if you want to encourage it add Strontium and a rocj with coraline algae on it already. some tanks grow it fast, others are much slower at growing it. check your CA and ALK as well.

[brandon3135]

But is a canister filter acceptable for a reef tank?

[lafishguy]

hey B, a canister filter is NOT a wet-dry trickle filter and does not do the same job.... if thats all you have access to then try it.

[brandon3135]

hi jim its brandon again. the guy with the algae problem. lol im takin ur advice and upgrading my filtration cause you said that i had reef lighting but not reef filtration. is a canister filter suitable because i cant afford a wet dry trickle

[lafishguy]

hey B, a canister is a filter but NOT the same thing as a wet-dry trickle filter.

[FijiMad]

where is your wholesalers?

[lafishguy]

hey F, here in Los Angeles.

[TMAXX95]

hey Jim do you know any place on the internet where i can get good live rock for a good price

[lafishguy]

hey T, sorry i only buy from one place, my local wholesalers.

[TMAXX95]

thanks anyway

[ryandlf]

I had a chocolate chip star that was fine for about a year and then one day decided it liked the taste of coral and chewed through a quarter of my tank before I noticed. In my opinion...not reef safe.

[giantdavid89]

nice rock, i use the same rock my local saltwater store sells only that rock vary nice look to it.

[brandon3135]

Hi Jim. Are choclate chip starfish reef safe or will they pick on shrimp and corals?

[lafishguy]

hey B, i think they are fine.

[lgroonsy]

Great video!!!! More shots of the house would be great too! It looks very contemporary. Keep the videos coming!

[dman5595]

[lafishguy]

[ray671984]

[brandon3135]

oh and i forgot lol can clown fish inhabit condylactis anemones?

[lafishguy]

hey B, pacific clowns generally do not go into atlantic anemones.

[brandon3135]

and also what do you think of the red sea max 250 system? thanks for your help

[lafishguy]

hey B, i have no experience with it, so i dont have an opinion.

[S1PR0DUCTI0NS]

the red sea max tanks are very nice and a good price for a all in one it would be a great tank

[brandon3135]

cant wait till part 3 jim. im a new subscriber but ive watched all your videos and you have been a great help in starting my tank up and getting it goin. i dont have any corals yet but do you have any suggestions on what to get first?

[lafishguy]

hey B, not sure how you are set up so I would say start with the lesser expensive corals, like mushrooms.

[Zachhay11]

MAN-ually! haha, Great stuff Jim;)

[1chomps]

Can't wait to see the final results of this tank Keep up the good work Jim u r the man

[ninetaildemon81]

[adnank21]

[lafishguy]

hey A, if you go in expecting something then its not as big a surprise when it occurs.

[Nowellsy]
