Hi go

Graham Hall - 6 years ago

Ok great, where did the corals come from, were they bred or was it the wild sea.

Romeo Vashishth - 6 years ago

Great corals but the wires hanging out from the side bother me

How much do you want to bet that elegance coral died and crashed the whole tank?

Mou Agrawal - 7 years ago

Bro tell me one thing its not possible to setup a reef tank in week how u do it its take some 4 5month for the setup u show here

mei nopnopmo - 7 years ago

i'd say if youd want it in under a month youd have to stock the tank with live rock, live sand, put in a bunch of dead coral (coral skeleton), and feed the tank twice a day for as long until you see stable conditions. All the live rock, live sand, and dead corals takes money which is why they tell you wait 4-6 months.

Sparks 12 - 7 years ago

Does anyone go to their lfs and just want to eat the coral? Reply is this happens to you!

greekphilosophy - 7 years ago

Hey George....LOVE your videos. So I'm new to the hobby, and set my first tank up yesterday and already screwed up. I was told the tank I bought was a 30gal, so I put 30 gallons of salt water mix in....but the tank is really a 20 gal. What do I do?

baseballhunter42 - 7 years ago

greekphilosophy You'd need to lower the salinity of the water. Only way is adding freshwater. Your not testing your salinity obviously, you won't be able to maintain your tank this way.

Hello, George! I was wondering what media reactor you would recommend for this tank. I saw that you were using the icecap, but I could not find any for sale. Perhaps a link please? Thank you!

Maria LaPorte - 7 years ago

Hey George! I was wondering if you would be able to recommend any great (more affordable) lights for soft corals? I am starting out with the led light that came with my fluval spec for my nano tank and I would really like to upgrade the light before adding any corals. any advice would be awesome!! :)

I have a 5 gallon tank with two zoas and a frog spawn their doing well, but i want to expand my tank I have no clue what to get next or where to get it from. the local reef store has a very limited selection and online stores are extremely expensive. Any recommendations?

CoralFish12g - 7 years ago

I would definetly keep getting soft, and easy lps corals. Maybe get some mushrooms, or a toadstool? Part of building your reef tank is that it's YOUR tank and whenever you see a coral you like, if it's in the budget and you can care for its needs, then go for it! I'm not sure if you live near a big city, but a great thing to do is join some Facebook groups for coral sellers and buyers, just look them up and you'll find them. There always good deals or people willing to trade if you're lucky enough to live nearby them. Forums may also be a good place to look. Also try to attend any frag swaps by you! Hope this helped a bit.

LiveInJapan Tinglam - 7 years ago

Don't you use skimmer for you tank? How many time will you change the water in a week

CoralFish12g - 7 years ago

I just started using a skimmer. Before I didn't because I only had coral and did a water change every couple weeks.

Remiel Elohim - 7 years ago

Awww i want to hug himm, you seem like a nice guy and has a catching voice! Nice tank by the way :) Keep doing your thing. =)

XxpoplocksxX - 7 years ago

Everything looks amazing but one thing i notice is your cables from your tank. I recommend getting some cable management sell some at electronic store.

Rhett Herring - 7 years ago

What % of flow do you have your MP10 set to?

CoralFish12g - 7 years ago

Usually very low, but I turn it up to clean all the time.

Lee and Mandy Battersby - 7 years ago

Hi i have just set up a 6 gallon tank could you please let me know of a really good but not to expensive light for lps and soft corals thank you

CoralFish12g - 7 years ago

Any Finnex LED light

WAVES & REEFS - 7 years ago

is it okay to place that much coral in such a small tank all at once ?
not best advise for newbs

Aquarismo - 7 years ago

a beautiful aquarium, I liked a lot, thank you for sharing, I Subbed, visit my first aquarium, and give me your opinion

Gpod Joe - 8 years ago

Ow. I thought we had to use some twizzers to handle live corals, so we can just handle it with our hands? Will they sting? I'm planning on starting a nano reef at my dorm room as well, and I've been watching ur videos to give me a headstart. Thanks!

CoralFish12g - 8 years ago

Most don't have a sting that humans would have any reaction to. No problem, thanks!

Jason Walters - 8 years ago

how much was that set up and what type of auto top off did u get and what type of light and pump and reactor is that

Jason Walters - 8 years ago

thanks ill send u some pictures of my new set up to get some ideas on some things I might need to get and mabey up date

CoralFish12g - 8 years ago

I use the Smart ATO Micro, Ecotech Marine Radion Xr15 W Pro, Quiet Drive Pump, and the media reactor is by Ice Cap, but they don't currently sell them.

Katherine Venes - 8 years ago

tute carbini - 8 years ago

what do you have in the sump?

CoralFish12g - 8 years ago

Some filter sponges, filter media like Purigen, and a media reactor running GFO. Nothing special.

shunylugia21. - 8 years ago

you should get a clown goby or neon goby

Marlon's C - 8 years ago

can you please give me the names of the corals

CoralFish12g - 8 years ago

The big green one is a green Monti, the big green one with tentacles is Elegance coral, the circular one which is half red half green is a Scoly. The ones with small round dots are Zoathinds. The little tree looking ones are Hammer corals. These are some of the bigger ones pictured.

iNight Flight - 8 years ago

How long must you wait until introducing the corals to a new tank? Well, after the cycle of course.

shechshire - 8 years ago

After the cycle & the tank has a reading of 0 ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate, & specific gravity of 1.023 - 1.025, you can add the corals. Then, it would be a good idea to check the calcium levels so you can know when to add more water or calcium supplement. Many biologist including Julian Sprung which one of the big people in this industry say you don't need to acclimate coral, just fish. So I wouldn't worry about acclimating them.

MASS Aquariums - 8 years ago

Corals look good

Zakri Rahman - 8 years ago

at least put a fish or two in there to make it more alive. oh wait, ure concerned about nitrate right?

Usernam E - 8 years ago

That EcoTech powerhead is WAY overkill for that size tank and it's an eyesore. Hydor has some super tiny powerheads that that would create a ton of flow in that tank. And you could mount the Hydor to the back instead and keep the tank's frontal appearance clean. Keep up the good work buddy.

Usernam E - 8 years ago

+Maxime Caudebec I suggested he use a powerhead that's SMALLER, not to mention about $200 cheaper.

I don't see how living in a dorm would preclude him from using a smaller piece of equipment.

Freddy Delgado - 8 years ago

That Monti is EVERYTHING !!

Josh Vollberg - 8 years ago

I understand nano reefing could look appealing for some time, but that's it. It's obvious you're limited to any fish, corals, space, etc. Why didn't you save up your money for a bigger tank? You're a nano reefer, but the experience doesn't go further at all unless you go bigger. You should try the next step up. Then the enjoyment is almost forever.
