Eugene Chornenky - 7 years ago

Nice video thanks for posting....!!! If you will have time check out my tank and if you have any suggestions just let me know (on positioning of my corals)

Revulsion OK - 7 years ago

Can I place small corals with super glue under water instead of taking the live rock out of the water? And how will the super glue chemical effect my water?

CoralFish12g - 7 years ago

Yes, and the glue shouldn't effect your water at all.

CoralFish12g - 8 years ago

No problem! Thanks!

Frankie Torres - 8 years ago

LOL.. George your a baby compared to now.. Haha

Jonathan Gonzales - 8 years ago

Wow dude you have been doing these videos for a while.

CoralFish12g - 8 years ago

Yes, and I will continue doing them for a while! :)

steverabb - 8 years ago

Just starting out with my first reef tank. I'm picking up a lot of good information here. Thanks, will be following.

CoralFish12g - 8 years ago

+steverabb Awesome! Welcome to the hobby!

Nicks Exotics - 8 years ago

how old are you

CarlosTheKing YT - 8 years ago

+CoralFish12g oh okay

CoralFish12g - 8 years ago

For the tank in this video, the standard hood lights that came with the tank. I would recommend anybody with a nano or bio cube though to take the hood off and use a Finnex Led light. Now on all my tanks I use EcoTech Marine Radions though.

CarlosTheKing YT - 8 years ago

+CoralFish12g what kind of light do you use

CoralFish12g - 8 years ago

+Nicks Exotics I am 18 now, but I think like 14 in this video

Joseph Wong - 9 years ago

what is that power head in 2:48?

CoralFish12g - 9 years ago

That is actually just a product by Innovative Marine called SpinStream. It just twists but doesn't actually pump or push anything.

Arib H - 9 years ago

What are some easy corals and fish you can recommend for begginers? I am ready to add my first coral :) hopefully I don't kill it

CoralFish12g - 9 years ago

+Arib Hassam Green star polpys, xenia, mushrooms and most other soft corals.

BamBamCrazy - 9 years ago

I am starting to get into the hobby I have my light my tank my filter my heater my powerhead getting ready to purchase my water rocks and sand do you have any tips for me.

CoralFish12g - 9 years ago

+BamBamCrazy Take it slow and be patient!

Debbie Cappelson - 9 years ago

We want to glue our frags to the live rock already in our tank. How would you recommend we safely do that? We are guessing we would need to pull our live rocks out of the tank to attach the coral. Correct?
We made a mistake and got an urchin. It's knocking everything down. We are thinking about getting rid of it. If we glued down our frags would they be safe from the urchin?
We really enjoy your videos.

CoralFish12g - 9 years ago

Yes, it is best to take the live rock out. Hopefully its not the bottom rocks. I would suggest getting rid of the urchin. If you glue them down they will hold better but there is not guarantee, unless you really over do it on the glue. Thanks!

Jonny Valentini - 9 years ago

What kind of corals generally go on top and which ones generally go on bottom. Im starting a 15 gallon nano reef and i need some ideas. Btw im not a beginner so some level 2 corals but i have no idea where to place them or what kind to get.

CoralFish12g - 9 years ago

Bottom corals are usually, plate corals, wellsos, brains. Top ones would be like sps and other things tht like a lot of light. There are a lot of corals that can really go up or down depending on the specific lighting and tank.

The Progress Report - 9 years ago

+CoralFish12g If I have a 20Gallon High tank with 50/50 Coralife bulb and a Aquaclear 30 filter; what type of coral would do well with this set up?

CoralFish12g - 9 years ago

Probably start with gsp and kenya trees as your first corals. See how you do with soft corals and then expand.

That looks like a bog not a reef

CoralFish12g - 9 years ago

A mediocre camera and a dirty tank glass does that.

Ali Farzinrad - 9 years ago

Hi
Thanks for your great videos.
I don't know if I can ask you a question here or not but let me try my chance.
I bought a Oval flower pot coral, it was nice and healthy, but on day it fell down. I changed it's places but it started to exude something white, I searched and found that it's Brown jelly disease, my hammer torch is infected too, I don't know what to do,please help me if you can.
Thank you again.

Ali Farzinrad - 9 years ago

+coralfish12g
Hi
Thank you for your attention
I checked them, calcium=500, Kh=11-12, pH=9 (because of using elemental every night), nitrite and nitrate and other toxic parament were zero, I bought medicoral but I don't think I can save it.
Thank you again

CoralFish12g - 9 years ago

Thank you, ok first the flower pot corals are for experts and if I were you I would never buy one again. If two stony corals are dying I would check your calcium, alk, and magnesium levels as well as your nitrates!

tap water reef guy 82 - 10 years ago

Raso Ras - 10 years ago

+coralfish12g Thanks very much for letting me know. I will try that as I never dosed iodine.

CoralFish12g - 10 years ago

Hi Rasim, I hope you have been dosing iodide and or strontium in your tank. Those trace elements have the most to do with soft corals and if you are not dosing those in some way other than water changes, that may be your problem. Ask your LFS to do a test for iodide. Also make sure your tank is at the right temperature that might be it.

cupcake girl - 10 years ago

hi I have a 14g biocube I noticed your pump? not sure if that's the right word is moving around how or what is that?

cupcake girl - 10 years ago

thanks for the info

CoralFish12g - 10 years ago

Instead of having a regular nozzle at the top, its a nozzel that rotates around and shoots out the water in different directions. It's nice because the same amount of gph comes out and it's in different directions. Made by Innovative Marine and is called Spin Stream,

MA FishGuy - 11 years ago

Nice Video i love corals and I guess i'm old school as i attach with bands.

Randomness - 11 years ago

Randomness - 11 years ago

Jaime Rodriguez - 11 years ago

Thanks.

CoralFish12g - 11 years ago

That is a good amount and you will want to have room to grow corals.

Jaime Rodriguez - 11 years ago

I am starting up a 29g biocube will 20lbs of live rock be enough or should I go for more? Thanks

CoralFish12g - 11 years ago

Any of the New Life Spectrum pellet foods would be a great choice! Thanks and let me know if you have other questions

CoralFish12g - 11 years ago

The clips where I show them are kinda short. Message me and let me know if you want to know any specifics. I'm definitely thinking about doing that in my future videos though.

Adam Brabant - 11 years ago

Hey man, could you pop up some pictures of the corals as you describe where they should go? I'm pretty new and pictures with their names helps a lot. Thanks.

CoralFish12g - 11 years ago

That is a really good question, the glue is supposed to immediately harden once it hits the water. So no not really but what I do a lot is bring whatever I want to glue to the rock out of my tank. Then put the glue on it, wait for it to turn that milky white, and then really quickly put it in the tank and press it really hard to wherever you want. Most times that will work if you do it fast.

pjcharlier - 11 years ago

Awesome info ! Thanks!! I'm brand new to the saltwater world and just set up my first tank, 90 gallon. I'm not ready for corals just yet as I'm just 2 days into it and waiting for my live rock & tank to cycle. Can the glue be used underwater? as in gluing it to a big piece of live rock without taking out of my aquarium?

CoralFish12g - 11 years ago

Thanks... Mayybe not sure

nightgoblinshaman - 11 years ago

Enjoyed the video.. Will you be making a video on how to do coral frags?

Matts Reptiles - 11 years ago

Dude your tanks are amazing! Have a look at my 32 gallon which I just set up

CoralFish12g - 11 years ago

Thanks! I will see

Victor Ordonez - 11 years ago

Nice videos and I like your tank. I want one like it can u make a video about your tank and fishes

vwunderful - 11 years ago

Surprisingly informative, nice job!

CoralFish12g - 11 years ago

NO not necessarily. It may depend where you place it, but a lot of it is preference.

Andrew Castagna - 11 years ago

For frags do you cover the rocky part they sit on in the sand?

Steve Tyson - 12 years ago

A very good book that you can get a lot of ideas on Corals and there placement is: Julian Sprung, CORALS A QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE. He has wrote other saltwater reference guide book's and they are worth reading. I myself have been in this hobby for many many years and anyone can learn from those books...

Rogerio Nihi - 12 years ago

Great one!

Tony Nguyen - 12 years ago

Good use of the glue, I just use regular gel glue and putty. Keep it up!

CoralFish12g - 12 years ago

Sweet will do and thanks so much!
