What should we call the new Tailspot Blenny? Comment below 👇

[@BeardedReef]

Bob!!

[@NanoTankReefer]

You gotta comment on the feed dude, I don't think may will see it here

[@rochellekuehne4154]

Benny!

[@NanoTankReefer]

@@rochellekuehne4154 I have some bad news about the blenny 😬 all will be explained in tomorrow's update... Let's just say he wasn't a model citizen 😂

[@Joker-gs4se]

I really love that you noticed it was stressed and stopped recording. Many youtubers often times forget that these are living creatures and I'm just glad you did that. Much respect, hope the lil guy or girl is still doing great!

[@JakeMc92]

Lenny the Blenny

[@NanoTankReefer]

I like this one!

[@settsreef4164]

Lovely new fish Tris. Tank looks great too. Bruce the Blenny.

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers buddy, I thought I'd show it off under some blues for once 🙈

Absolutely love a tailspot blenny. Had one a few years ago. Had to be the best fish in the tank. Such characters…….

[@NanoTankReefer]

I could literally watch him for hours

[@johnbrand1893]

Nano tank looking good. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Slim Jim the blenny.

Cheers mate

[@kesjohnson6857]

Cool Fish! Call him Kevin

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers mate blennies are definitely one of my favourite fish. Full of character

[@NickosWardle]

Name suggestion: “Bandit”

[@NanoTankReefer]

Yes!! That's a good one!

[@harlanmichael7088]

Thanks for the video!

[@tylersmith3093]

Benny the Blenny, the simple choice

[@NanoTankReefer]

I like it!

[@Rambl3On]

That was the exact name I also gave my old tailspot blenny haha

[@Calgho]

Beaker. Like beaker from the muppets.

[@NanoTankReefer]

Now that's a good one!

[@BeardedReef]

Brilliant video mate, love the new blenny, it looks like it has settled in nicely, will be a great addition to your tank! Overall it looks great and loved seeing it under blues too! 👍

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers Ross, yeah I thought it was about time I showed it under some blues 😂

[@jaysrealreefuk]

Love this channel - great update. Yes! I love my tailspot blenny, full of personality and always out and about. Super healthy and beautiful colouration. Rules the roost. Really looking forward to seeing the nano bowl.

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers Jay. They are great characters. At this rate the reef bowl will be filled with water by 2022, it's been in the pipeline for about 6 months already 😂

[@jaysrealreefuk]

@@NanoTankReefer don't rush these things, people are happy to wait - this hobby is expensive, especially with 3 tanks. I struggle with one 😂.

[@Erol_808]

Cute fish, I like Bearded Reef's suggestion 'Bob' :-)

[@NanoTankReefer]

We're going for the one with the most likes, make sure you drop his suggestion a like 😉

[@im160bpmplus]

You could call him Mr.Squiggle

[@xXSinForLifeXx]

"It's really hot in the UK today" Yeah sure it is... 😂😂😂

[@bdbyace28]

Benny the Blenny 👍

[@matthewberry7304]

I called my tailspot blenny Benny the blenny

[@PracticalReefer]

Great fish mate! Mine loves to sit somewhere and watch whats going on! Loving Tyler Smith's "Benny the Blenny" got my vote/like!

[@NanoTankReefer]

They are such characters aren't they!

[@PracticalReefer]

@@NanoTankReefer yeah mine was eating the puffs of Stomatella snail spawn yesterday, free food I suppose 😂 he so confident now and explores most of the tank hes rarely hiding which is great!

[@NanoTankReefer]

😂😂😂😂

[@SKumar-gg4tx]

Great video mate

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers San

[@cooleyscoral3456]

Love the tank and the new fish 🐠

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers buddy 😁

[@EJGraham14]

His name should be William the destroyer. But his friends just call him Bill.

[@NanoTankReefer]

😂😂😂 my favourite comment yet!!

[@ASBsweet]

Great video mate 👍

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers Andy

[@jamesgreen9372]

For a female, I would suggest “Blenda” the Blenny. For a male, I would suggest “Blake” the Blenny. 😉 Enjoy the journey, Jim

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers Jim 🙂

[@richardportelli1983]

The nano is looking amazing

[@NanoTankReefer]

Thanks mate. It's coming along. I think it's about time I filled the empty spaces with a few more corals but overall I'm really happy with it

[@chrisb1798]

Finally some blues!!

[@NanoTankReefer]

Haha yeah, I thought it was about time

[@stevemunn367]

Bernie, the tailspot blenny

[@mattparish4451]

I know it's too late but I named my algae blenny Benny. Benny the blenny.

[@savagereefer1157]

One of my favourite fish

[@NanoTankReefer]

I agree, such characters!

[@karennation3580]

Did yours come out often? Mine hid all the time and I could only see his head poking out! of his hole! Cute little head though! LOL

[@so_so_reef]

It’s funny, I was in a similar situation and now suddenly they’re everywhere and seeing lots of people picking them up in the UK.

[@NanoTankReefer]

It seems everyone got them in stock after I bought mine, I went to my LFS this weekend and they also has a couple in

[@Inta-resting-stories]

Omds you went to one of my locals 🤣 shame it’s shut down.

[@someone6reefs]

Kenny to be honest thats what amro azul tv calls his lol

[@NanoTankReefer]

Kenny the blenny, it does have a ring to it!

[@kesjohnson6857]

I like the look of the reef bowl. what filtration will you use?

[@NanoTankReefer]

I haven't fully decided, it's still a work in progress but as soon as I have some updates you'll know 🙂

[@aaronhoy9965]

Lovely fish and wow does that nano look incredible under blues

[@NanoTankReefer]

I thought it was about time I shared it under blues

[@aaronhoy9965]

@@NanoTankReefer haha definitely was worth it, such great colour pop shows what a radion does

[@peacock777]

Hi, nice tank 😉 I miss some hermit crabs here. Would be nice to see two or three also in this tank 👍

[@gregcoogan8270]

"really really really hot" in the UK is what, 26 degrees celsius? lol

[@NanoTankReefer]

😅 32 where I was but yeah... Hot for here I should have said 😂😂

[@gregcoogan8270]

@@NanoTankReefer that's hot actually! I'm from the States we do get those temperatures on a regular basis in the summer. Your tanks look great!

[@soddyqt8106]

Amazing tank! Can I ask where you bought that amazing looking big Orange rockflower anemone in the middle of the 20 gal?

[@NanoTankReefer]

I got it from a place called BBA Atlantis

[@soddyqt8106]

@@NanoTankReefer It's looking huge! Very beautiful

[@NanoTankReefer]

@@soddyqt8106 it's about 6 inches across now. It was only an inch and a half when I got it

[@drewt1]

How do you keep the tank free of hair algae? I have same tank

[@NanoTankReefer]

Just by Keeping nutrients in check. The tank has very little bio load and I don't overfeed 🙂

[@jwitrado]

Was your nano skimmer ever noisy?

[@guilhermelabolita]

Do u have a list of the corals in that tank?

[@Moondoggy1941]

I never meet a Bleeny that I didn't like but I do love my Bleeny's, good choice. I love your aquascaping on the 10 gallon reef bowl, I would like to copy that idea but I would keep it dry. I think that you have figured out how to film better, I do not see anything that I disapprove of.

[@NanoTankReefer]

To be honest it looks pretty cool dry. Thanks! Hopefully my filming skills will keep improving as time goes on

[@jasonclements9290]

Nice tanks look great, how come no ph acclimation?Ph shock is far worse than temp or salinity shock.

[@NanoTankReefer]

Cheers mate. I drip acclimate my fish until salinity matches but don't check any other parameters bar temp

[@mohamedmokhtar6178]

Whts the dimensions of both tanks? N how many gallons r both?

[@NanoTankReefer]

Red Sea Reefer 250 Display tank length (cm) 90 Display tank height (cm) 53 Display tank width (cm) 50 Approx 66 gallong including the sump

Nice one! What kind of sand did you use here?

[@NanoTankReefer]

I'm pretty sure it's Caribsea Fiji Pink Sand

[@rara5212]

@@NanoTankReefer thank you

[@NanoTankReefer]

No worries dude

Name for him. Ziggy, Comet, Spud, Rex.

[@NanoTankReefer]

I'm liking spud!

[@iancosford7060]

Wish I got a tail spot instead of a midas. Saying that the midas is my daughters favourite. As for names I like Blenny Hill, your probably to young to remember Benny Hill though😂😂

Yeah that's a little over my head 🙈😂

[@alfredtolentino8614]

Does he go after algae?

[@NanoTankReefer]

Unfortunately not, it took a liking to my corals so he soon went back to the LFS

[@alfredtolentino8614]

@@NanoTankReefer oh my. Thanks for the warning/sharing. I’ve been reading that they are good algae eaters…🤔

[@NanoTankReefer]

I have an orange spot blenny in my main tank and it's great for grazing algae. It also doesn't touch my corals 🙂

[@someone6reefs]

Nice fish not far from me then i guess 👍🏻

[@NanoTankReefer]

I'm in Rugby dude. Where abouts are you?

[@someone6reefs]

@@NanoTankReefer im in cov m8 what did u think of shop i was a bit disappointed last time i went there hopefully gets there 👍🏻

[@NanoTankReefer]

Not much has changed to be honest, it's my first time going there. Not a huge range of livestock or corals but what they did have were at fair prices. I think I have it too good with Reefkeeper Rugby and Kettering Aquatics right on my doorstep

[@someone6reefs]

@@NanoTankReefer never been Kettering i should venture there. at reefkeeper alltime lol

[@NanoTankReefer]

Head over to Kettering at some point mate, you'll thank me later. Quite a small shop but absolutely packed out with top notch corals. Reefkeeper has a better selection of fish but for corals Kettering is my goto

[@lowellbentley]

20 gallons is a regular tank reef. 10 gallons is Nano reef. 5.5 is Pico reef. And you have a sump? Please dude, those are regular size easy reef tanks.

[@NanoTankReefer]

I've gotta disagree with you on that one 😬 IMO 30 gallons or less is a nano and 5 gallons or less is a Pico... But that just my opinion 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@lowellbentley]

@@NanoTankReefer Isn't it about what the industry says it is? 🤔

[@lowellbentley]

@@NanoTankReefer P.S. The 20 tall is the standard depth for most beginner guides that were tailored for small personal offices in the 1980's as the Micro. The ten is a Nano I am being told. The 40-60 is the regular size reef tank for the home living room. Just because it is easier and cheaper now does not mean you can move the goal post. It is cheating.

[@lowellbentley]

@@NanoTankReefer The Pico should now be the Aqueon 5.5 as the most available for most individual's amount of money per year.

[@lowellbentley]

Pss, Since this size is able to house the most, in a minimalist body, using the cheap ATO that uses water bottles, on the rimless. Perfect.
