Nano Reef Tank Update Month One (No Skimmer)

[@DannysAquariums]

*Want a nano reef like this? 🪸 I recommend getting the 12 gallon kit from Reef Casa:* geni.us/NanoReefTanks (As an affiliate of Reef Casa, I earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.)

@Stephen Dobs Oh man he's done a nice video - lots of effort editing and he's given himself a like he totally deserves - and a heart ;)

[@DannysAquariums]

I put a heart on all my pinned comments. Not on every comment I write myself. There is no skimmer on this tank, I don’t want to mislead people so I add that to the title. Also since people search for tanks without a skimmer.

I love the simplicity of this tank! If the Aiptasia-X didn't kill it that Mike Tyson jab did! Good work.

[@yuxuanchen5107]

Such a pleasure to watch your video, the videography and music choice combined are just too good. Whenever I watch other people's nano I always feel like my nano sucks lol

[@yorickvandekekhove6692]

Love your tank, corals are looking flufy and Healty

Hmm smells like Foo the flowerhorn over here

[@jacobbowman2048]

For a sec I thought it was haha

[@austinworthy441]

One of the best set ups iv ever seen. And your editing is impeccable. You are really able to see every angle of the tank which I appreciate. Definitely gained a new sub and thumbs up

[@DannysAquariums]

Thank YOU so much! I really appreciate the kind words Austin!

[@livelaughlove869]

6 line wrasse, mandarin goby & spotted mandarin goby were my 3 absolute favorites, packed with ultimate color. Best part about them is they don’t hide. 🥰 BEAUTIFUL SET UP!!!

[@DannysAquariums]

Thank you!

[@emilyjz]

Love the videos and background music that goes along it! Very smoothing and relaxing, beautiful tank as well :)

[@DannysAquariums]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks!

Man, these shots are truly amazing. I really enjoyed the video.

[@uncleardistress]

Great channel! Love the music and editing. Your reef looks great, and gives us a real confidence boost for our own nano reef build. Cheers.

[@DannysAquariums]

Thank YOU! Good luck building your reef tank!

[@arfishadventure4972]

@@DannysAquariums i have one very simple too

[@DecadentBroccoli]

I don't like salt water aquariums. Always thought they were mundane. I love foo the flowerhorns work and now you too have incorporated this peaceful style of filming. Very artistic and informative. Keep up the good work! Not easy to film and clean the tank at the same time! With this relaxing style of videography, I might just start watching salt water aquarium videos. PLEASE FILM MORE FOR US TO SEE!!

[@DannysAquariums]

That's what I thought too, but once I got into reefing I lost most interest in freshwater tanks haha. Thanks for watching, I'm glad you like it! I hope I changed your opinion on saltwater aquariums a bit. ;-)

[@blackseaandothers]

I love nano reef tanks... Very good start! Keep up the good work...

[@leonelreo]

Trimmas, eviotas, small blennies (acanthblemaria for example), gobiodon are perfect. Peaceful and diminutive. But feeding the fish will dirty the pico reef. (Hang on filter?) Great job. Beautiful tank and amazing video. Perfect music choice.

[@salemclemens6148]

Beautiful video - not sure it someone has said this already but the things where you say "pest" are rust flat worms - in small amounts like that they're harmless but can reach plague proportions where they choke out coral - their population seems to correlate with nutrient levels so as long as you keep up on water changes you sjould be good!

[@HCBCHEMISTRY]

Cool set up, I like how you edited the music with the visual. Great job. Love the puple torch.

[@DannysAquariums]

Thank you very much!

[@DannysAquariums]

The best comment I've seen today LOL!

[@EarthWasHere]

My suggestion is for you to use gloves when touching the Zoas. They’re only poisonous when you cut them but hey! Lets be on the safe side yea.

[@DannysAquariums]

True, the chances of getting poison sickness are nihil if you watch your hands right after touching them and don't touch them if you have any open wounds on your hands, wrists etc.

[@ahoyskid]

Better safe than sorry for sure!!

[@jeayoung8082]

Beautiful tank!

[@orey6637]

A purple firefish would look amazing!

[@Aj-.07]

Looks like a great home for a Mandarin, once copepods are established it would keep your feeding low and your levels easier to keep stable. Copepods would feed lucky corals too

[@Salkio]

don't think a mandarin would work. the tank is too small. it will eat all the copepods and they won't be able to reestablish

[@DannysAquariums]

Thanks for the suggestion, I have an animal (or animals 😜) in mind to keep in this tank. Stay tuned!

[@eddyrc123]

Love the videos on this tank! What vitamins and aminos are you dosing? I’m interested in doing this on my 10 gallon nano as well.

[@smeetsie670]

I love this nature👍👍

[@alisadiq7595]

Simply amazing 🐬

[@DannysAquariums]

Thank you!

[@julianaariana541]

Where did you get this tank? I’m interested in going from a 20 gallon to a 30 gallon. But I’m having a hard time finding a clear tank that is not a cube. I already have a 37 gallon capacity aquarium stand that is rectangular.

[@jabronibeats5982]

With your lights I think 3 cardinals would look good(keep it simple-easy hardy fish) and it would balance out your water lvls making maintenance a lot easier

[@DannysAquariums]

I have a 10g tank, my tank is too small for three cardinals I think.

Amazing! Does it safe without gloves? For you and tank Thanks for video)

[@eduardoresguardo]

Hola nos encantan tus vídeos.

[@colezacher2157]

What all in one tank is that, been looking for something just like it. Also what powerhead are you using, I’ve been using a hydor koralia nano but I think it’s too much flow. Also how do you deal with evaporation; I almost need to top up every other day! Awesome reef btw

[@DJAdriano8]

Love your video! What kind of camera did you use to film this?

Thank you so much, I use my iPhone 8 Plus for my videos!

[@mikesmalls8260]

Hey nice set-up can you post a link to the light you're using on this tank.

[@diegochinchilla3209]

Making something like this is very difficult?? I really wanna try and built my own but idk 😣 I feel everything is gonna die

[@DannysAquariums]

Do a ton of research before setting up. It’s not that difficult if you know the basics.

[@bobbygrover]

Very nice tank. Which one is it? Also What have you got in your filtration ? And do you dose your tank? If so what’s your dosing schedule etc? Would be good to know :) thanks

[@DannysAquariums]

It's a nano tank from Innovative Marine, No filtration really, just the circulation pump and in the back a heater with a pump to pump water up right back in. I do dose this tank, as seen in this video, with two additives once a week.

[@bobbygrover]

@@DannysAquariums thats awesome mate. do you not need to dose cal, mag and alk? if not, what salt do you use? sorry for the questions. im just really inspired and tempted to buy one of these tanks and get started again.

[@legozombiemocmaker8026]

What fish are in your tank and what salt do you use

[@woltergrant]

Could you please go through and label your corals?? I want to set up a nano but have no clue which corals to get and would like to know the names of the ones in your tank I see and like.

How does the sand and rocks looks so clean? My rocks and sand aren’t that white! I have the same tank

[@SimplyJade2024]

I would imagine it's managing nutrient control. I haven't run a skimmer on my tank in 2 years. Maybe once every 6 months for like a day that's it really. Other then that just a powerhead, heater and lights

what type of toadstool is in the back? or is that a finger leather??

[@MrCarmelolaface]

What pump?

[@eric4052]

Doesn’t look like pests to me. Looks like amphopod’s . I would definitely have a copper and butterfly fish. This fish would help with pods and it also would eats aptasia. But this fish needs room to swim. And that tank looks way to small for that type of fish. So I would get a wrasse, but some wrasse are not coral friendly. So choose wisely. You will never get all the aptasia with chemicals, better or faster thena fish can effectively

[@DanielMejia-qk3qg]

What light is that?

[@claudiatan1598]

Noone manages to find the Erik Satie music played to the correct tempo. Only Floo the flowerhorn. If your wondering, this is too slow. And has added reverb which is naff.

how did you get those zoa's off the plug like that?.

[@SimplyJade2024]

Cut the rock under the foot. You want to have sharp pointy scissors and cut the plug rock away and not the actual foot

[@HbbH38]

Use a sharp razor blade to scrape off the base of the zoathid. They usually come off quite easily. Careful not to cut them or cut yourself.
