A Day in the Life of a Reef Keeper in Australia

A Day in the Life of a Reef Keeper in Australia | Blue Reef Tank

In this video, I’ll be sharing a usual day in my life with saltwater reef tanks living in Melbourne, Australia. I usually enjoy visiting local fish stores around where I live and this week, I found some new coral gems to auto the Waterbox Cube 20.Also, I’ll show you how I harvest my own phytoplankton at home, including all the steps I take to maintain an ongoing healthy Phyto culture. I'm curious to know if you prefer to buy or culture your own phyto at home - Let me know in the comments section.

I hope you enjoy this week's content and don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss out on the exciting things to come!
