    I'm so jealous that you can just go pick that many variations of coral like nothing...AND that are already a good size. I wish I could just add them to my tank the way you do...it's like magic.

    Total novice to reefing here, I don’t even have one set up yet but I do have everything needed. The tank I’m going to use is currently emergency freshwater angel fry accommodation 🤷‍♂️
    I would like to know how you attached the corals to the rock and as I won’t have fish in there for a couple of months, how do you feed them?
    Fantastic videos by the way. You’ve instilled a lot more confidence in me for starting my marine venture. Thank you!

    Subscribed 👍🏻 Great video man. I wish I had a coral garden around the corner to stock my tank with! I have been out of the hobby for as long as I was in it (8 years) and I'm super excited to get back into it. Setting a 5 gallon Marineland Portrait this week for my birthday. Upgraded the light to a Fluval 20 watt LED to ensure plenty of light for any coral and I've amassed a pile of supplies and equipment this past week. Really excited to try out the Jebao SW2 wave maker! No skimmer although I do have one if needed but with such a small tank and a Hang on Back refugium I should have all the filtration I need. Can't wait! Stay healthy and keep the videos commin!

    I wished someone had left this comment here so I did it, lol. I listened through the video and as a beginner tried to find each one that he named going into this tank. I think I found them all to list here. Then, I tried to look at them in the shopping section in google to see a range of prices so I could have a sense of the total price for stocking the tank the way he did. It seems like the range is $540 to $915 if you exclude the really expensive gold torch, which was $300 - $400. So with that, it would be $840 - $1215 for just the corals in the tank. The tank, sand, rocks, equipment, and fish seem to be around $1500. So altogether this tank seems like it would cost $2240 - $2715. So around $2500 and to be safe $3000. It's wild this is a small entry level set up! This hobby is so expensive to make such a beautiful tank!
    Green prism favia $30
    Acanthastrea pachysepta $60-$90

    Candy Cane Coral (Tiger-striped with green center) $30 - $40

    Hey Jake,
    Awesome tank! Would love your expertise.
    We have a 4ft Aquaone minireef 215 (with a mariglo light). We recently added a beautiful bright green Trachy to the bottom part of the tank (on the sand) in full light. We noticed after a week that some parts of it were going a little white so we decided to move it to a little more shaded area. There's still no improvement, if anything, it's getting worse.
    Am I doing the completely opposite? Should I be moving it higher up in the tank to get it More light? (we know the mariglo isn't a great light and we have plans to upgrade it soon).
    We currently have a pretty decent assortment of corals but this one (along with a cynarina) aren't going that great.
    Thanks!

    I was think what hewix said. I have bought 12 corals fro an online fast paced sale. Got ripped and didnt know enough about placement and growth habits. I have a 10 gallon rectangular and feel like i should have a cube for what i bought because I was going to make a rock bridge from one side to the other and place on top of bridge and a few on sand so here is what I got: candy cane, duncan, platygyra (ugh) was so hard to tell from the pic and no time to research If you waited a second you would lose out, so lots of brain coral, blasto, acan, chalice, tubinaria, and more. some I am stocked on like duncan , candy cane if it weret a solid colr, anyway It was literally a sea of green and purple so I stared adding orange plays, that werent cheap and 3 zoas, stocked about zoas, the thing is if I had to do over and knowing what I have learned those would not have been my choices. Is turbinaria, chalise, not easy to grow? i notice you didnt pick them and no flowering mushrooms. I love those! After I bought all these I find a seller on ebay that charges 15.00 bucks to ship and coral of all colors and choices! I guess I will be okay using live sand with all these corals. I was going to use that and bacteria starter. I have heard of many people using ocean direct and placing fish next day and people immediately using biospiria. I also had some birdnest in tank and removed it. I loved that and wondering if you think a beginner could due that?
