Fighting Brown Algae

Reef Tank Update - Fighting Brown Algae, Water Testing & First Water Change | Newbie Tank Build 2.0

In this episode, I give you an update on my Red Sea S1000 reef tank, which has been running for about a month with three small fish. We dive into some common early challenges—like battling brown algae and even dinos—plus I show you how I test my water parameters using the Hanna test kit and log results in the Hydros app. You’ll also see my very first water change on this tank and learn a few tricks for keeping track of aquarium parameters. If you’re starting your own saltwater aquarium, this episode is packed with helpful tips and real-world lessons from a beginner’s reefing journey!
