They redid the long ones into 5 minute segments which are way better, and don't put you to sleep. Just do what I did bookmark them, and just watch the segments as to where you are. Specifically for you watch the one about " the ugly stage" If, and when you have an outbreak, r failure it will encourage you. I have watched, and watched these. The best piece of advice they gave was this. By the time you see a problem realize that it took months before you can see it, as you are dealing with bacteria. Therefore it will take months for you to escape it. The best source of immediate help on this forum is to simply ask the reef squad they are established I believe scientists. I forget the so called link at the moment but I believe it is to simply put reefsquad# on your post It is on the forum somewhere. If I find it I will tell you.Yes! Thank you! I've been watching the 52 weeks of reef keeping although some of the stuff is still light-years beyond me and they talk SO fast I can hardly keep up. But I'm watching the whole thing and then gonna ask alllll the questions! Lol (after I've checked to see what's already here of course).
My friend ran a fish store for many years, but the rona shut them down unfortunately. He is a wealth of amazing knowledge! Just tossing out coral names left and right! I can't stump the man!!!
But yes, lights. Because there are several different corals who attached to my rocks, which lived in his trough style sump, I gotta use the lights because some of them are "super hard corals to grow" don't know what kind they are, but super cool looking. Plus several mushrooms have popped up in the last few days... he just frags stuff and any lil pieces he just let's attach to rocks, which I get to be the proud owner of and learn to care for, should they live!
