What The FragFull comparison of ICP tests for saltwater reef tank water elements and parameters. In this video I compare the ICP test kit contents, website user interfaces and results for Triton, ATI Aquarastik, and ICP-Analysis.com (by CoralVue). All 3 water samples were taken at the same time from the exact same section of my 200 gallon mixed reef tank. Note that this video was not sponsored, I covered the costs of these 3 tests myself. Originally I intended to just compare the website under interfaces, however I was surprised to find a fair amount of variation between these 3 ICP tests.

Checkout Cuttlefish and Corals www.cuttlefishandcorals.comHow to Frag Gorgonian aka Sea Fan Corals - Coral Cutting TutorialWhat The Frag2019-03-19 | Here's a quick tutorial on how to frag Gorgonian corals (also known as Sea Fan Corals). For this project you'll just need a razor blade, super glue and a container of salt water to rinse the Gorgonian afterwards. In this video I'm fragging a photosynthetic Gorgonian. Note that some Gorgonians have rigid skin on the exterior that can be glued directly to a rock, this video mainly applies to soft skin Gorgonians. I recommend using Fast Set (aka Insta-Set) to cure the super glue faster. You can find Insta-Set on my Amazon page:

I started with a 1/2 inch frag and now it's about 4 inches and has about 20 branches growing off of it. It's been doing great in terms of polyp extension and growth rate, now I'm going to start moving it up higher in the tank to get more color on it.Aquatic Life T5 Hybrid Hack - Improved T5 Lighting for your Saltwater Reef TankWhat The Frag2019-02-16 | The Aquatic Life T5 Hybrid is a great fixture at a great price.

Watch my full unboxing and an get my insight into buying corals online. Please note that this video only shows a fraction of my coral dipping and acclimation process, I'll do a separate video in the future about those processes. Overall I'm impressed with the health and size of the corals that arrived, it was definitely one of my top online coral buying experiences.

I have these doors installed on my 200 gallon reef tank. I purchased heavy duty drawer sliders with soft close from Home Depot for $20 per pair. Using barn doors allows you to save space by opening the doors horizontally instead of normal doors that swing out in front of the tank. The doors can easily be removed when needed. Make sure to put Vaseline on the sliders to prevent rusting.
