Thank you and thanks for subscribing, New video coming soon

so literally you open up the tap and a water comes out. that means all crap stays at the top of your sand, u just change the water.

impokejon - 7 years ago

I've always liked aquariums of all types and terrariums as well. All I've ever had were Guppies goldfish and bettas. I was wondering if a completely sealed 5 gallon or less jar would be possible? Specifically I would not need to open it up and the only necessary thing added was sunlight.

TheCoralReefTalk - 7 years ago

You would need to do water changes and natural sunlight can cause unwanted algae to grow and take over.

SVTsupercharged - 7 years ago

Don't you get major evaporation with no lid? Looks real nice.

SVTsupercharged - 7 years ago

TheCoralReefTalk wow, every three days is a lot.

TheCoralReefTalk - 7 years ago

I change the water every 3 days or so. I have tested and went a week and it evaporates a few inches. I try to keep it changed and topped off.

levecquesadventures - 7 years ago

You've inspired me to make my own reef jar. I'm going to follow in your steps. Where did you happen to get the lamp from?

TheCoralReefTalk - 7 years ago

That's awesome, I bought the light on Amazon here is the link. http://amzn.to/2kkOGSr

Do you need a bubble for this setup

TheCoralReefTalk - 7 years ago

+aaron123456 I have seen pico aquariums that use a bubbler and I had originally planned on it however I have the small hydor pico pump agitating the water.

aaron123456 - 7 years ago

I mean bubbler

Michigan fan - 7 years ago

Do u use the nozzel to do water changes

TheCoralReefTalk - 7 years ago

+Michigan fan Yes and it makes water changes so much easier.

Gb J - 7 years ago

Looking good. Any update on the aquarium in a jar?
also do you use a heater?

TheCoralReefTalk - 7 years ago

+Gb J Update video coming this week. I did use a small heater, but because of the room it's in I haven't been using it.

Kevin Van Beeck - 7 years ago

awsom. would it be possible for a seahorse??

thatsLITfam 22 - 7 years ago

TheCoralReefTalk i have heard that dwarf sea horses really don't need much space. Don't personally have any experience, but i have seen them in 1.5-3 gallon tanks

TheCoralReefTalk - 7 years ago

I don't have experience with seahorses but they can be difficult and with the tank being so small I wouldn't add a Seahorse, a Dwarf Seahorse maybe 10 gallons, but like CheshirePlayZ mentioned larger the better.

CheshirePlayZ - 7 years ago

Kevin Van Beeck awesome

Kevin Van Beeck - 7 years ago

CheshirePlayZ thx. I have a 80 gallon tank empty. also just started a 180 gallon mixed reef

CheshirePlayZ - 7 years ago

Kevin Van Beeck 40 Gallons Is The Minimum For 2 Sea Horses

Kevin Van Beeck - 7 years ago

CheshirePlayZ what is minimum gallons for seahorses?

CheshirePlayZ - 7 years ago

Kevin Van Beeck no

Abbsta •• - 7 years ago

Can we put fish in the 2 litre aquarium?

TheCoralReefTalk - 7 years ago

Morgan I - 7 years ago

TheCoralReefTalk - 7 years ago

+Morgan I thanks. I have changed things up since then and will make a video soon.

J-HOOK TV - 7 years ago

I want to make a 2 gallon nano reef but I'm not sure what to use for the light. Any suggestions?

TheCoralReefTalk - 7 years ago

+Lyric King The light I am using here, I purchased off Amazon. http://amzn.to/2s9CKpv

Ken Rosecrans - 7 years ago

James Frazier - 7 years ago

what are you using for filtration?

Phoebe Jones - 7 years ago

TheCoralReefTalk hey how often are u keeping up with water changes?

TheCoralReefTalk - 7 years ago

+James Frazier mainly water changes, there is some macro algae that snuck in there, and it's pulling out some nitrates.

nice video :]

TheCoralReefTalk - 7 years ago

Thank you. and thanks for watching.

Al Vara - 7 years ago

I've used these since I was a kid instead of bowls are great 74 now

TheCoralReefTalk - 7 years ago

They are great, It has been working out nicely. Thanks for watching.

madison thomas - 7 years ago

why aren't you using the pump with hose for the bubbles. corals need that flow for their health.

Robert treboR - 7 years ago

I would love to copy this. But I have only done fresh water. I hear with salt water bigger the water volume easier it is. I would only want a shrimp or 2 and a snail also. Would you recommend this for a noob?

TheCoralReefTalk - 7 years ago

Your right the larger the water volume the easier it can be, because your water parameters tend to be more stable. Things like your salinity tend to stay balanced as long as your keeping the aquarium topped off. When I first started, I went with a 29 gallon aquarium. It was a good size tank where I could add some fish while continuing to learn about water chemistry and testing and then add corals later.

Rico Reef - 7 years ago

its coming along nice

Kuradevoir - 7 years ago

Using the pvc and spigot from the jar for water changes is such a fantastic idea! Just a warning though, I've purchased one of those Yorkshire dispenser jars before and it shattered from a very light tap from a spoon while mixing lemonade. I probably had a defective one, but it didn't leave me too confident about that brand in general.

TheCoralReefTalk - 7 years ago

Sorry to hear about your Yorkshire Jar, maybe something was over tightened or it was defective like you mentioned. Thanks for checking out the video and thanks for the warning. So far I have had no problems with the dispenser. It really is working out for water changes, its great and it gets the job done.

Gb J - 7 years ago

is there a heater in there? how do you control temp fluctuations when the light is on the off..
What's ur water change schedule like.. thanks for sharing.

TheCoralReefTalk - 7 years ago

Thanks for watching, I do have a little heater from deep blue, and the max temp on it is 80 degrees. Also for water changes I try to do them every 3 to 4 days.
