Bought my first Red Sea Nano tank because of your videos...Loving it so far, and excited to add corals, just slow rolling it. Thank you for the great content.

[@erichanasky7884]

My redsea nano is coming Wednesday all because of your videos. Starting a zoa tank!! Love all your content, farm/shop visit videos, and education you have provided. Thank you🙏🐠

YOU GOT THIS!!!!!

[@williamgoebel7289]

Started a nano around the same time as this.. actually watched this series for guidance. My tank is miles behind this one but it's been fun and challenging. Best advice I got was nothing good happens overnight! Patience is key. Been a yr and a half and still loving it.

[@hotmess3421]

@@williamgoebel7289 I'm doing exactly that, I'm waiting on last minute items while trying to set it up properly. I'm getting close to water/sand, live rock. I'm feeling the fish selection pressure coming upon me. I think I'm watching to many videos, I'm getting overwhelmed lol

Have you ever tried the putty method on aptasia? Take some 2K (rock scaping) putty, put it on the aptasia so it retracts, and put the putty on top of it.

Do you mind if I ask what your Ph, Kh, Ca, Mg levels are? It’s very similar to my nano with mostly to all LPS and your that tank is thriving. Thank you.

[@fadijohn]

Awesome, I picked up my max nano because of this little tank you guys setup, been loving it. Question - what did you do with the filter sock, clean it, throw it away and put a new one in?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Just cleaned it. But you can buy an extra and just swap them out while you clean the other one.

[@brentbroussard6896]

What was the little vacuum you were using to suck up the green bubble algae?

[@michaelbalsley6041]

Can you transfer corals with Aiptasia in the system but not on the coral to another tank without cross contamination?

[@_FERG]

What have you got going on in the the aio sump for this tank? Is it just a skimmer, heater, pump and a sponge or what is running to keep it so low maintenance? Is there a refugium can you fit that on a small tank?

Hi. I've just bought a nano. What lid do you have on the tank?

[@Gerius559]

Mine is overrun by bubble algae, and you made getting rid of it look so damn easy. What was the syphon you used?

[@williamgoebel7289]

Emerald crabs will definitely help. I liked the syphon he used. I modified my python and took the main attachment of and used a zip tie to attach a toothbrush to it so I could scrub and syphon green hair algae. Definitely pays to think outside the box and improvise. I was hesitant to mess with green hair so I didn't spread it but found if I spend a few minutes 2 or 3 times a week it's affective! Hope this helps!

[@eisenhowerlau1153]

how are you going to take care of the aiptasia?

[@bretthuffine]

Thats the same ATO I've been looking at for my nano

[@silverfantom16]

Would love to see more of this tank! I set up a budget 15 gal nano tank about 5 weeks ago after being inspired by this setup. It’s currently hosting an black and white Ocellaris clown pair and a shrimp goby/pistol shrimp pair. I’m going to wait another month or 2 before I add any corals, and I was considering doing a hammer, torch, and frogspawn as my first additions. Any tips on caring for those specific corals? Also, what’s the experience level you would rate them at? I’m a complete beginner when it comes corals, and I don’t want to start off with anything too difficult

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

You'll do good with those corals

[@silverfantom16]

Awesome, thanks for answering my question

[@derpetry4421]

Ist it 45x45 or 57x45 ? Great Reef

[@PatrickJewellTheGreat]

Calcium Formate - (All For Reef) might be a good option for the ATO for calcium and alk replenishment. Or just straight up Bio-Calcium with no trace elements.

[@PatrickJewellTheGreat]

I say this but I should say with caution for others reading here, because bio-calcium and all for reef is an organic compound formate, bacteria could grow in the reservoir. Not sure if anyone else has seen that.

[@avankleef]

I had the green D-D auto topup sensor fail on me after to months. Dumped the entire reservoir into the tank. My reservoir as not that big, but it would crash your.

[@hpcam1]

Time for the blue lights.:)

[@Mike__B]

How are you getting so great flow in that tank? Just with the return pump? a special nozzle? that GSP is just waving back and forth along the back wall.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Nothing fancy!

[@nucciboy1]

Blue light blue light blue light!

[@Fastfritz63]

Quick question…..How does one get the green star polyps attached to the back wall or walls? Really nice stable nano reef!

[@twelvenation985]

super glue a frag to the back wall or scrape a peice of gsp off and glue it wherever

[@ImTheRealJake]

yep. just super glue it. i went to my LFS and he scraped a little off the bottom of a frag tank, and gave it to me for 10 bucks. glued it to the back wall, next morning...the shag carpet wall has begun.

[@borgsixofnine82]

I notice you guys have palys in smaller tanks. How do you avoid palytoxin? I've always heard that having them at all is unpredictability dangerous.

[@StorMacce]

They don't release it if they don't get cut or boiled (Opened in some way). Use active carbon in the tank if you are still worried good idea either way

[@Anominous14109]

What chemicals do you add to your reef tank?

[@PatrickJewellTheGreat]

Nothing to that little Red Sea tank. In his previous videos it’s barely had what like two maybbbeee three water changes? Jake’s chemical additives and methodology is very sparse. Just two part on some tanks, calcium reactors with kalkwasser, water changes. Julian Sprung’s Acropower. But this tank doesn’t even get any of that, because it’s proof of concept that you don’t necessarily need to be hyper involved with your reef tank, even a nano, if implemented correctly. He barely even feeds the fish, making sure every bit of the food gets consumed, which keeps his nutrients optimum for that nano.

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

My 10 gallon nano was becoming overrun with dinos. My solution was to stop doing ANY water changes and remove all chemical media (I was using Chemipure Blue) except for carbon. The dinos completely disappeared within two weeks. Now instead of the weekly water changes I was doing I do them once a month. Water changes are often promoted as some kind of panacea but there is such a thing as water that’s TOO clean.

[@bbingtube]

Yeah they like nutrient devoid conditions so running gfrc and carbon can lower your phosphate too low resulting in dino outbreak. Black outs and a little phosphate is what I remember being the two most effective ways. Stay away from dosing etoh/carb

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

@@bbingtubeI’m glad new reefers are more likely to come across information that says some nitrates and some phosphates are desirable. Dinos suck to have to deal with when you’ve been indoctrinated to believe any detectable nutrients are bad.

[@stevenpavan327]

Aside from Calcium, what is the must "dose" dose for Corals?

[@matthewhayden6505]

Alkalinity

[@bbingtube]

Don't dose nanos. 🤷‍♂️ Kalk drip or dose Kalk if you don't have enough evap. I dosed 2 part , 3 part, many methods and never got the good results and consistent ph/alk/ca as being able to drip kalk. Larger volumes of water I got parameters on 🔒 with 4 channels.

[@svkonopat]

Popping valonia algea is a way of killing it but it seems like scraping it could cause more to grow. If one of those unpopped bubbles lands, it grows out to form a colony and ultimately grows larger.

[@archerbluth]

Oh! I always thought popping causes it to spread as well, I was lucky that I only ever got it on rocks that I can take out and pick off into a throwaway bucket. I’ll give popping a shot if I ever come across it in my QT.

Hi

[@bbingtube]

Xenia and GSP? In a Nano? 🤣🤣🤣👌 Keep your bare flesh outta the tank. You have a whole shop of appropriate tools around you. You are correct about the velonia. Emerald crabs may eat velonia, however, I've rarely seen them control infestation on their own. I've watched them molest and eat clove polyps and an assortment of my acros. I have video of it. Some are good.. some are bad. Wouldn't risk a bunch if you have alot of hide areas where they can not be captured. Velonia control can be accomplished with lowered phosphate/nitrate and compulsive agitation . Popping isnt always necessary, I use bent tweezers as an JS thing attachment 🤣. Gives you a straight and side attack angle! The loose'ies all end up in easy to siphon areas and seem to wither anyway. I find several weeks hitting the areas it occurs most gives me the momentum and it goes.... Until my lazy quarantine practice 🤣💥🌱🤷‍♂️
