Ryan and the BRStv team have learned a lot since the first 52 Weeks of Reefing, and it's time to put that knowledge to the test! This time, we have eight unique marine aquariums, and we're diving deep into each and every one of them. Want to set up a predator tank? What about something more species specific? We have you covered right here! #BRStv

Today we launch 52 Weeks of Reefing 2nd Edition.
The first edition had a total of 50 million views and the most watched guide to reefing
on YouTube, but we've learned a lot since then.
With SE we upped the game, more detailed science, updated modern methods, and the results from
applying that knowledge for the past decade in experiments and live tanks.
This time rather than tracking one tank, we track eight, which have been configured specifically
for this series.
This is 52SE, and all that is coming up.
I'm Ryan and this is 52SE Friday, week one.
Each week we learn something new about marine tank biology, apply it to these eight tanks,
and create a biology first guide to reefing.
This week we share what you can expect to see in this series.
It's 52 weeks, so there's a lot.
Our mission with this series is to change the way that we think about our reefs and
achieve near universal success rates for anyone who attempts a marine tank.
We also want to expand our horizons and create more impressive displays, more control over
growth patterns, coloration, and with a wider variety of themes and inspirations.
Success is a thriving marine habitat and the ability to spot the subtle variants of coral
and fish health before they're a problem, coupled with the information to avoid them
all together and make struggling animals and random mortalities history.
We solve what was once described as expert only through a hobby-wide understanding of
better biology.
It's not bad luck or evil in the tank that challenges us, it's missing pieces of the
puzzle.
We're going to find those pieces together.
The answers are in getting past the generic guidelines for all corals or all fish and
building systems and practices that provide for each animal's unique biology in the best
possible way that we can.
You'll see that as we update our knowledge and approach to habitat design, light energy,
gas exchange, chemistry, water movement, nutrition, pollution, and thermal energy systems.
Not only in the theoretical science, but also the practical as applied to eight different
tanks with eight different biological needs.
These are the next major advancements for our hobby.
We're moving past a glass box of fish or an aquarium to create marine biospheres that
mimic the environment that these animals have evolved over millennia to thrive in, coupled
with direct how-to's and how to get it right the first time.
That's the mission.
What's coming is the results, fruits of the successes, and how we manage the inevitable
surprises on eight different tank styles.
The first of which is released next Friday, Time to Meet the Twilight Predator Tank.
The inspiration for this tank style from the ocean.
What about it excites me?
The challenges that we'll face in system design.
BRStv subscribers get to see all of that in the full 52SE playlist right here.
