Welcome to R2R Jimmy it’s great to have you with us!
Welcome to R2R!!! You are in good hands here! I have NEVER seen anyone ask a question of any type and get brow beat on this forum. This is a great place to ask any question on any topic. Do not be afraid to ask questions, these people are here to help you succeed!
I had the same issue, I'm not sure how you tried to load it, but if you save it to you tube they easily load with a link it provides.
Welcome to R2R!
Here's a pic from one of my favorite articles on reefkeeping, applicable to new hobbyists and old as well:
The nitrogen cycle is only the startup of a SW tank cycle. The next 6-12 months is a maturing phase, and it's typically in this time frame where algae outbreaks occur and things can sort of roller-coaster, and if you stock the tank up too quickly, you might see corals randomly dying & fish getting sick, etc...hobbyists can very easily fall into the trap of chasing problems = making more problems => giving up and selling everything off. We don't want that to happen to anyone!
Long-term stability and balance are the keys, and you just can't shortcut the process significantly. That's always the #1 thing to keep in mind!
