Algae is Taking Over my Nano Reef Tank: Clean Up Crew

[@DannysAquariums]

Which animal should we add next? 🐠🦐 I’m still figuring out the best settings to use while filming this tank, throughout this video I tested a few different settings. Which part was your favorite? *Get your own saltwater kit:* geni.us/NanoReefTanks

[@nicosenecaut7542]

Watch man gobie

[@AngiePeticca]

My favorite part was full tank at 6:53 For fish just about any goby works. Some gobys are jumpers though, so be careful. I personally think a clown goby would be best for this tank because they are small, colorful, and have an interesting relationship with coral. Other than that, watch out for your hermit crabs! If you don't provide the hermit crabs with new shells (in the tank) they will kill each other and the snail. Love your videos! keep up the good work

[@melihbayleon749]

Can u add a blue chromis? Or maybe a royal gramma

[@abbydg]

My heart melted when the hermit crab helped his friend up 😭 Beautiful tank!

[@DoYouEvenFishTank]

With access to sterile plankton readily available, make sure this is the first thing you add to the a new tank for the first few weeks. This will colonise the surface quickly and prevent other less desirable algaes to grow later. It will however give everything a tint of green initially.

[@ancapramanda2123]

6:39 looks teammate thats so awesome! 😊

[@SPOON.888]

Add goby and pistol shrimp!

[@amirmirbagheri3735]

That definitely looks like Bryopsis on the frags and not algae. It can turn into mats and mats like it did in my tank so you may have to use flux.

Great video! Love your way of working . No sump.. No Skimmer.. 200 ways to do it.

[@DannysAquariums]

Thanks, I really appreciate it 👍

I like the sand! What did you use?

[@CharlesHaskett-nt2sp]

What a sweet little set up.

[@DannysAquariums]

Thank you so much!

[@slickdog78]

If you decide to add a fish. Maybe a Firefish of some type. I've always like the Purple ones. They don't get too large.

[@DannysAquariums]

I’m not sure, don’t think I’ll add any fish. The tank is sooo small. Firefish need at least 20 gallons imho. :)

[@slickdog78]

@@DannysAquariums Yeah, I get that. I've always felt bad leaving a Betta in anything less than 10g myself.

[@abbasalizada8990]

Wie oft machst du Wasserwechsel? Ich schau die kanal schon lange, und ich überlege immer noch, ob eine kleines, Salzwasser Aquarium einrechnen .

[@FreddieCuellar-p2l]

I do not know about you guys, but I like the water level to be all the way up to the rim of that tank. Can I dill the water all the way up to the rim? You have like a 1 inch gap from the water level to the rim of that tank. I just feel that its more beautiful when the tank is filled to the rim. There are some tanks that do not allow you to fill it all the way up.

[@flynntbp7936]

bro...this nano tank setup without chiller? reef can be safe?

[@taicao7539]

Are you using aquaknight v2, if so can i ask what setting you use please!

[@nicolas.e.grippo]

What size is the zoas tank??? It's a beauty 😍

[@Coral-reef.]

What light are you using and where do you keep your nitrates around ?

[@DannysAquariums]

I don’t test water.. so don’t know haha. The light is the Halo! Check out the build video I posted before this one about the tank. 😉

[@OfficalCirqL]

love this tank man. I am looking at the innovative marine 25 lagoon... love the lagoon style!

[@DannysAquariums]

Thank you so much! Look into the 20 gallon from Reef Casa, you might like it! It’s a peninsula-style lagoon. 12” tall. Great size for a very cool scape! And you support a small and upcoming brand! They even have a sale going on 😉 www.reefcasa.com/?linkId=lp_569284&sourceId=danny&tenantId=reefcasa

[@OfficalCirqL]

@@DannysAquariums Perfect man thanks. I'm in the UK, do they del there? Also, what sand are you using for your pico?

[@DannysAquariums]

Yep, they ship all over the world! Not cheap, but definitely unique and really nice! Worth it. For my build I went for Carib Sea Ocean Direct ;)

[@MODIT]

This is your first over flow setup, I've asked before about ato. Usually these are a must with over flow aio setups since the level hight is very sensitive before picking up air. Do you plan to run one on this 6g?

[@DannysAquariums]

I definitely plan on running an ATO on this setup, I already have one laying around here waiting for me to install it. Evaporation on this small shallow tank is crazy haha. In my previous nano tanks I also had over flows ;)

[@kiwiisgooddontyoudare]

I love your setup! Do you use water heater?? I've been thinking if I should get one or just skip it.

[@DannysAquariums]

Hi, yes I have a small heater on it! Check out the previous video I did on this setup to see all the equipment I used 😉

[@manhhungnguyen702]

any auto dosing need for this tank?

[@DannysAquariums]

I’ll manually dose some nitrates and phosphates for this tank I think, it needs to have lots of nutrients for these zoanthids. :)

You mean flow? Most of the time during the video the flow is off, correct. So you can watch it without all the water shimmering. ;)

Can't acclimate snails and crabs for 30 min only. Even if you have 40 of them, they wont' eat that algae.

[@fairuzberd1127]

you did not cycle the tank first and you just straight put in corals?????

[@DannysAquariums]

Yes. It’s a big misconception that you can’t do that earlier lol. I waited two days for things to settle a bit. I know people who add corals the same day. Of course, SPS corals won’t like it, but LPS and especially soft corals will be just fine. In fact, it will help with the cycle. With fish and inverts, you should wait.

[@fairuzberd1127]

must cycle the tank first minimum 2weeks then can add corals to your tank and that depends...

[@DannysAquariums]

Not true.

[@Uji_Metal]

Cycle for fish/inverts, corals handle tiny amounts of ammonia easier, nitrifying bacteria in bottles, life bio fil, live sand, live mud, all play a crucial role in adding corals early.

[@marcopalazzo9349]

You can add bacteria to skip the Nitrogen cycle but the biom will be unbalanced.

[@Uji_Metal]

@@marcopalazzo9349 it’s not skipping the nitrogen cycle if there is a source of waste for the nitrifying bacteria to feed on/convert

[@marcopalazzo9349]

​@@Uji_Metal 😔 and where is the nitrifying bacteria coming from in an uncycled tank?
