Time for a trim I recon 🤣

31/07/2024

Lots of tanks overheating out there at the moment. I’m sure you will all know this by now but here are some basic tips on how to keep 🆒.
Open windows ✅
Point a fan (any fan) at the largest surface area of the tank ✅
Open cabinet doors✅
Add an airline from skimmer to outside the window (if possible)✅
Increase surface agitation with wavemakers✅
If cover glasses or evaporation covers are present allow gaps and blow fans to access water surfaces✅
Frozen sealed bottles of water into the sump ✅
Temps up to 27c are fine short term, however if you see your temps getting above 28c then you must take more actions to cool the water asap.
If you are in trouble, please do reach out as I have chillers available for hire or purchase.
Be cool folks. 😎

Unsuccessful operation. 😞
I had a tough job to work with this week when a rouge harlequin tusk fish decided to turn into a fish destroyer.
The target fish was a precious anampses lennardi and one of spectacular size and colour- a real head turner.
With vast amounts of large grown out corals there was simply no way to use conventional methods, and fish traps were not successful.
With one silver belly wrasse beaten to death enough was enough so I opted for draining the tank down as much as possible to remove as much room for the fish to escape… but no… the harlequin was still nowhere to be seen. Luckily I had a micro re**er with me (Abbas you legend) and he didn’t hesitate to strip off and step in to see if he could persuade the tusk to come out from behind a forest of plating acropora.
To our amazement the tusk was still nowhere to be found. As time with the reef exposed dry running out we decided to catch the lennardi instead relocating the fish to a smaller aquarium whilst we worked on phase two of tusk removal.
Sometimes fish can just be arseholes.
Fingers crossed we can catch the tusk so Lenny can go back home where she belongs.

Happy Friday everyone!

I had the pleasure of upgrading a clients 8+ year old tank recently, this video was taken just 24 hours after I had finnished… but can you guess which tank it was 🤣🤣
Super happy with how this one turned out, it was a pleasure to have an idea of what was wanted, and then making the dream the reality.
Have a great weekend and make sure you get out to your local fish shop there’s plenty of lovely stock about at the moment 😎

I don’t make a habit of working weekends, especially tank breakdowns in 20c+ temps. Bit a very special customer has a time limit for his new upgrade so we had to get the job done asap. All corals and fish re homed into the garage in a nice coral tray safe and sound(over 300 heads of Euphillia and LPs)
I’m looking forward to setting up the new tank when it arrives. Based on his other two super impressive tanks this will turn out very nice indeed. Look out for a little video I did whilst having a break today. 😎

Who thinks this customer should let me upgrade them to a re**er 525xl and turn it into an Acro-palace. He tried the “my Mrs would kill me” so I asked her, she said yes 🤣🤣

Stunning successful reef tanks perfectly maintained by the customer showcasing the very best corals in perfect health.

Thankyou everyone for all your support! Love you all ❤️

A lovely TMC reef habitat 50 booked in for some corrections to water parameters. Love this tank. #successfulreefaquariums #successfulreef

A rather interesting “fish only” you have there sir 🤣🤣 this system is testing the boundaries of what should and shouldn’t be. But so far everything seems to be getting along ok. Can’t wait to rip them plants out 🤣#successfulreefaquariums #successfulreef #shaunssoupmix

One of 3 tanks I serviced today for a new customer. Lots of work todo between them getting them back on track, but I’m up for the challenge😎 #successfulreefaquariums #successfulreef

This reefer 250 has hit its growth spurt since being overhauled! We are noticing a huge growth week by week and on average we are upping the dosing 2-4ml per week to keep up with foundation element demand. Who thinks this customer needs a reefer 525 in his life 😉🤣 #successfulreefaquariums #successfulreef

A nice little job today modifying the sump and installing a Reefmat 500 to this water box aquarium. This tanks got some stunning livestock and some nice wizardry controlling the water parameters. The addition of the Reefmat compliments the systems new design and I look forward to seeing how this tank progresses over the coming years. #successfulreefaquariums #successfulreef

This reefer 525 has been set up and run exclusively by me. A fantastic set up with some choice fish. Now the tank is starting to mature nicely and the corals are growing great. This tank has real potential for the future. #successfulreefaquariums #successfulreef
