Of my entire reef, one SPS has been declining for the past couple of weeks and I was very confused. I thought perhaps it was simple too old, but instead discovered it was infested with AEFW.
We are coming up on close to a year since we planted tiny SPS frags in our show tank. Let's see how much they have grown in that time!Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGdAIpjFq4vygKzXAyDKKtQ/joinhttp://www.tidalgardens.com#tidalgardens #coral #reefaquariumThe salt we use: Reef Crystals - https://amzn.to/3tYz9GAOur Favorite Fish and Coral Foods: Sustainable Aquatics Hatchery Diet 1.2 mm - https://amzn.to/35Xnz5B Sustainable Aquatics Hatchery Diet 0.8 mm - https://amzn.to/2N10IPH Dr G’s Food - https://amzn.to/3sxQdnx Nori Sheets - https://amzn.to/2LQVzsQ Algae Clips - https://amzn.to/3bIVfHBFish Quarantine Treatments: Formaldehyde / Formalin - https://amzn.to/2XDOjU7 Prazipro - https://amzn.to/3smK5ya Furan-2 - https://amzn.to/39umNxP Coppersafe - https://amzn.to/3nHKIPhCycling Bacteria/Media: Dr Tims One and Only - https://amzn.to/2MW4idQ Brightwell Microbacter7 - https://amzn.to/3idLIti Marinepure bricks - https://amzn.to/3idZxId Brightwell bricks - https://amzn.to/2LN4ls6Super Helpful Random Stuff: Sicce Utility Pump - https://amzn.to/3qjgu6X Wireless Remote Control - https://amzn.to/38FaMGy ETEKCITY Infrared Thermometer - https://amzn.to/3nH7Pt9 OXO silicone dryer mat - https://amzn.to/2TFadnX OXO Turkey Baster - https://amzn.to/3ofxyuV Rubbermaid 1/2 Tray - https://amzn.to/3hrPscySound Absorbing: Rubber Anti-Vibration Pad - https://amzn.to/3brxJhi Sound absorbing panels in the room - https://amzn.to/386LPnHDIY Sound Panel Parts: Owens Corning 703 - https://amzn.to/2UoxAlL Roxul Safe & Sound - https://amzn.to/3ndMyHH Guilford of Maine Fabric - https://amzn.to/35jcE6ePhoto/Video: Canon C200 Canon 5Ds R - https://amzn.to/33qklaf Canon 100mm Macro - https://amzn.to/33pbUvG Canon 100mm IS Macro L - https://amzn.to/3guFh3h Canon EF MP-E 65mm f/2.8 macro - https://amzn.to/3gz9HBOCamera Stabilization: Freefly Movi Phone Stabilizer - https://amzn.to/2DDrzwr Freefly Movi Pro Stabilizer - https://amzn.to/31oO7to Edelkrone SliderONE - https://amzn.to/39V8Ici Edelkrone HeadONE - https://amzn.to/2EQfu7XAudio: Shure SM7B - https://amzn.to/2DUQPP1 Sennheiser 416 - https://amzn.to/3ajHpIT Sennheiser AVX Lavalier - https://amzn.to/33Ud4iU Focusrite Scarlet 18i8 - https://amzn.to/30RkBx8 Cloudlifter CL-1 - https://amzn.to/2XY4En8 Aston Halo Portable Microphone Reflection Filter - https://amzn.to/36hoSfHCopyright Information: This video was shot and edited by Tidal Gardens.

Years ago when I started to keep reef tanks the only bacteria on my radar were nitrifying bacteria. The goal after cycling a tank was to have a healthy population of this good guy bacteria. Nitrifying bacteria provide biological filtration and are responsible for breaking down organic waste in a reef tank.  It was a pretty simple process to cycle a tank when live rock was readily available since the rock was already colonized with bacteria. All you had to do was add the rock to the tank and perform a few water changes. Along the way you test for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate to determine when the cycle is complete. No bottled bacteria was necessary.   Why Dose Other Bacteria Besides Nitrifying Bacteria? Fast forward to today.
Those of you that have been following me for few years know that I have and love Green Slimer Acropora, which I regularly frag and donate to people that are getting into the hobby or to friends who want...
