New Fish Day! Rescuing the 45-Gallon JBJ & Dealing with Tank Crashes
It’s a huge day at Mile High Reefers! After 25 days of cycling with Hydrospace bacteria, the 45-gallon JBJ is finally ready for livestock. Scott Anderson takes you through the process of moving a Tomini Tang and a Clownfish into their new home, including the essential (and aggressive) dipping process to ensure no flatworms or pests hitch a ride from the big display.

This episode isn't just about the new setup, though—it’s a raw look at the highs and lows of reef keeping. Scott gives an update on the 24-gallon "Struggle Bus" tank, explaining how a single Palythoa frag caused a total system crash, and shares the secret to the one coral that survived it all. Plus, we head upstairs to the 210-gallon display to tackle a massive rock slide and show how to maintain a beautiful reef on a $0 budget.

In this video, we cover:

Moving Day: Adding the first fish and rock to the 45g JBJ.

Aggressive Pest Control: How to dip "seed" rock to prevent flatworm transfers.

The Palythoa Crash: A cautionary tale of how one coral frag took down a whole tank.
