Hey Reefers! I will be posting all my future videos on this thread. This week's video is about some tank problems and updates. Hopefully I can get things turned around! Take care, and Happy Reefing! #reefermatt

By the way, these videos are here just to share my reefing journey. I don't make anything off them, or want to. I'm just a Reefer with a channel.
And here's an update to this week's video:
I Woke up this morning to an Apex alarm for high temp. Again! I checked the tank, and turned off the uv sterilizer and pump. I'm starting to think I have a pump issue, as this is a Harbor Freight pond pump. :grimacing-face:
If it is the problem, that's what I get for cutting corners. I am ordering a proper new pump tonight.
*I took the pump and uv apart. UV housing is starting to leak. Gonna replace both pump and uv sterilizer.

Here's this week's video! I had some issues with a fish, but luckily the fish pros here at R2R helped point me in the right direction!

Yep like the y tube channel you need to do a joint video with @Sleeping Giant if he’s up for it that would be some video . You have amazing tanks and his A class also
Thanks! I just make vids on my spare time to share reefing. Not looking to be a "YouTuber" or anything. But if I could figure out how to do something like that, maybe someday. I make all the vids on my phone for now.

Thanks! Hope you're good as well!
Getting there. Got the reef tanks in the right direction, and now I have a plan for the flukes on the new fish. Gotta love reefing! But, if everything went fine everyday, it would be awfully boring! :grinning-squinting-face:

It's temping for sure. But I am dedicated to helping and learning from other Reefers. I think there are enough people posing with reef tank gear on there, and I would like to stay authentic to myself, and anyone who chooses to watch. Plus, the channel will most likely stay small, because I don't put on a show. :grinning-squinting-face:
