How to Handle Reef Tank Pests: Eradication vs. Management Explained
Pests and diseases are an unavoidable part of reefkeeping, but how you handle them makes all the difference. In this episode, Kyle and William dive into the pros and cons of eradication versus management, covering practical approaches for coral dips, fish treatments, UV sterilizers, nutrition, and more. Whether you’re battling flatworms, ich, or just trying to keep algae in check, they’ll help you choose the right path for your tank and your sanity.

Adam has been reef keeping since 2010 and got his start on the Bulk Reef Supply Customer Service team. He believes the best tanks are built around what you enjoy, not what’s trending. Adam is especially interested in simplifying the hobby, exploring the latest gear, and helping others focus on long-term success over chasing perfection.
