Reef Tank Maintenance

3 Things I Wish I Did Differently (6 Month Reef Tank Update) | Newbie Tank Build 2.0

In this episode, we’re diving into the holiday spirit with some essential reef tank stocking stuffer ideas, ranging from smartphone lenses for perfect coral shots to modular magnetic probe holders and feeding clips. I also walk you through my latest maintenance routine, including a 20-gallon water change, sand vacuuming, and roller mat replacement to combat those early-stage algae blooms. Beyond the gear, I’m getting honest about the "3 things I wish I’d done differently," covering the importance of eel-proof lids, the need for more rock caves to reduce fish stress, and the importance of doing your own research before impulse buys. Stick around until the end to hear about my plans for a 2025 freshwater tank overhaul and how I’m turning this hobby into a long-term success!
