These vids got a lot of criticism but you can tell how much he enjoyed playing around & breaking a few rules with this build.he looked happy & excited to do it.nice to see 😊
This build is amazing well planned out the only thing missing is the list of corals in the description.
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO!!! YOUR WORK NEVER DISAPPOINTS!!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
I am loving the new intro music selection.
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!
Bro, your cinematography is hella dope. Such a great tank setup too. Keep it up!
P.S. think alot of people had to double take on the no cycling part lmao!
I can't wait till that anemone gets his own aquarium and and a bunch of symbiotic buddies!! This tank looks amazing
Le meilleur moment pour un aquariophile, remplir son aquarium mais toi tu as juste à faire ton marché, c'est TOP !!!
Merci Jake ... 👏👏👏
Dont end it! Can you show how you would feed the tank? Spot feed or broadcast feed. That long polyp leather is nice man. Would you sell me a small piece? Love the series man.
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!
Wow! That came out really nicely!
Love the series. Thanks. Would appreciate seeing the stock par readings against that coral placement please.
Says add 1-3 corals a week. Proceeds to put 17-20 in one shot lol.
LMAO!!! I was thinking the same
We are all still kids at heart...lmao
This is why I add my coral at my pace..Works fine in my tank
This is so amazing... i am thinking of getting a saltwater tank in about 6 months Still learning... 😊🙏
Really interesting man, little bit of nervousness from some people (no hate though which is awesome to see!) with not cycling the tank and acclimating corals. Keen to see what you've got in store for the inital maintenance period, keep up the excellent work mate!
Superb.. thanks for your idea...love from india 😍
That Ritteri anemone is looking great!
RIP Jake!
This was a fun video to watch bud, thought you should know
Thanks for the video....turned out really nice.
Will you be adding more coral waiting for update
I have a question!
I love that tank so much so I was wondering how large it was!
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
Long Polyp Leather (purple) $40 - $60
Green polyp leather $30 - $60
Sinularia Finger leather $30 - $50
Green star polyps on river stones $20
Green tracyphillia $75 - $150
Triple headed gold torch $300 - $400
Duncanopsammia $50 - $60
Australian Blastomussa $60 - $130
Acanthastrea echinate $25 - $35
Green Hammer Euphyllia $90
Candy Cane Coral (Tiger-striped with green center) $30 - $40
Tank and equipment: $1000
Sand, rock, salt, measuring tools, chemical, and fish: $500
Some of these corals where pretty high end.theres lots of affordable options too.i cant deny its an expensive hobby though.some of my discus are worth £200-£400😅
I only spent £250 on initial corals for my reef tank though.
@@aquariumaddickuk being in this hobby for a good 3 years now.. you'll learn to forget about the prices.
How do you stick the corals on the rock? Glue?
Great series!
I am new to this hobby. I have done a ton of research too. My question is about putting together corals and a reef system of corals and Macro algae that may appear together. Are these corals from the same region in the ocean? If so, from what ocean?
Maybe find a picture of a natural reef in the ocean and then identify each species and try to find them and put them in your tank
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!
Love it! Merry christmas guys!
Good Job, i like it greez from Germany
Awesome series! Can you name the music you used? Good taste!
can you explain why you "kinda" dont need to cycle for coral tank?
I would love to know what return pump your using, the flow compared to my nano is nothing. I have problems with coral placement
Would like to see a few zoas as well ... 😊
Can you please do a video on your holding tanks for coral and the equipment?
Love the way your aquarium looks! When shopping for corals, I run into what I consider astronomical costs; unless I get the little ones less than an inch, and they rarely survive (or the fish eat them). Any advice as to wear to get reasonably priced and sized corals? Thanks.
If you have a old or extra tank you could buy the small corals and grow them out if you have time and patience it could be worth it look up ones that grow and reproduce fast
Hav I missed yr filtration set up?
hi,really interesting series, when you add the fish after the day earlier you added the corals , cause the tank is new how you manage nitrate and phospate? thanks in advance.
Do u need to epoxy corals to rock ?
Thx a lot
Could you talk about the measurements of the aquarium ??
Beautiful tank! What kind of light did you use?
Nice Job!!!
So they way hes handling them buy hand and taking out of the water is he not worried about toxic release??
Hi can you list the name of Corals you have in that nano tank please im currently setting up a 35 gallon nano and really like the Corals you have used
I’m new to this. Are you gluing the coral to the rock?
Love Acan corals
Looking good!
Would love to see you make a vid on RTN/STN.
I wish there was literally ANY concrete supporting evidence about tissue necrosis but no one really knows.
What shipwreck in Solomons?
What was the name of that Acan and the Australian blast thing? I couldn't understand you.
Did you just glue them on?
At 0:07 what is that coral? Or is that just a bit of live rock?
Is that blue light above the tank?
I am confused 😕 how can you do all this with out cycling a tank first ?
This is America, you can set up the tank in 3 days! And in two weeks you can start the next one XDDDDD
Is Aptasia on that list?
Hi just want to ask what is your filtration setup for this? Tnx
The included filtration, really not much going on except water moving around, no media or anything
Is this tank still up and running?
What are your opinion on dinos? I cant seem to beat them even with increasing nutrients and any coral i add dies in a couple of weeks.
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?
How did you cycle this tank? you did not explain it. thanks
Very nice 😊
How do you attach the corals to your rocks?
How do you get the coral to stick?
RB's......love you all....but the vertical tail fin action on nemo...
Hualll top ... ficou show
Question on the first diatom bloom. Should reefers just wait it out or actively scrub and brush rocks to get rid of it? What's the best way to handle it?
You can wipe and brush off some things if they get bad, but make sure to have good bacterial starters to undermine the spread of any blooms to start with.
So dope.
you rock!
JAKE you’re a G bro I’ve been having a hard time with coral placement and your tips are money
Now I gotta figure out this AI Prime
Nice video but you said you'd explain why you placed them where you placed them...
How do I get one of those long tenticle leathers?
how will you control the GSP ? i thought that if they overrun the rocks they kill the other corals?
I'll make sure to only keep the GSP next to corals that can hold their own
Reef Builders i see, thank you, i hav just placed a chalice beside my GSP because i read that it can hold its own but havent seen any aggression yet. Thank you so much for replying!
That gold torch coral
what are your settings on the the reefled50?
Can someone explain about the coral not needing a cycled tank?
Less advanced animals have a MUCH lower biomass and slower metabolism than any comparable fish. And they don't have blood cells to be harmed by low levels of Ammonia or nitrite.
What's the track at the beginning?
Can you mount a reefled 90 on that instead of the 50?
I don't see why not, they use the same mounting bracket.
You dont need to cycle the tank? I putted dry rock. Mine has been running for 2 weeks, i put live sand, i have been putting seed live bacteria everyday.
My rock used to be live but i had an algae outbreak and i took apart the tank and started again, i dried my rocks for 2 weeks
The rock has been in my tank cycling for 2 weeks already
Do you think im good to go or should i cycle for a month?
so cool
how many centimeters is it in height ??
Nice 👌
What size this tank?
So amazing ! Where you take your music ? lovely 😊
Wow, crazy he knows all their names by specie
NICE
What kind of glue your using bro?
Super glue are pretty much all the same
How someone can put all that corals in new tank without disaster? As I know new tanks need cycling period
Traditional nitrogenous cycling only relates to fish and higher invertebrates. Fully planted aquariums don't need to be cycled for plants, the same way that a basic lightly stocked reef tank doesn't really need to handle ammonia right away.
did i hear u wrong or u said start slow with 2-3 corals and u started with 10+??? lol
How nice if I can just pick corals to put in my tank. Here in Asia not many colorful corals to collect
Lindo de mais 😁
Putting a bunch of life into a tank all at the same time ? And tank come to life quickly? Who would have thought.
Fresh water aquascapes been here done that. Totally not affordable for us high taxed plebs.
how you get on with chemical warfare with those softies with the lps Run carbon 24/7
the antagonism between soft & stony corals has been vastly overblown. But IF you are worried about noxious terpenes from softies, water changes, skimming and carbon will certain help to mitigate that.
300 to 400 dollars of coral wow
Jake, so are you teaching the people not to cycle the tank and just put dry rock, salt mix, and corals in within 2 days. You do not even use bacterial in a bottle to help cycle the tank faster.
The video series is not finished ;-)
Pretty sure he said he used live rock in the aquascape video
@@Daedalus33 no. It's LifeRock by Caribsea
"Only do 3 or 4 a week" adds 50
🆒🆒
U do have to cycle...all u want to do is sell corals
We don't sell coral, and you certainly don't have to cycle a tank for corals, as evidenced by every conference or reef show display you've ever seen
@@ReefBuildersVideo iv heard it all now....ok so make a video showing high ammonia and coral growth...if ammonia levels go down add more to keep at a constant...I'll personality give u 100.00
I'd love to hear this next comment...there difference in display setup at a show for couple days and some home hobbyist having them in tank for month while tank cycles...even if don't add food or anything bacteria will start to grow and tank get cloudy for bit and start the cycle.....I'm all ears buddy...
I stand behind my first comment.dont listen to this guy
Ehhhh, no cycling for corals? I respectfully disagree.
You only need to see the thousands of corals in dozens of fresh aquariums at reef aquarium shows every weekend to see that Ammonia simply doesn't affect corals in any way like it does to fish.
Reef Builders what about parameter stability? I know you added hardier corals but swings can still impact health.
You didn't really talk much about the corals or placement.....
I could also do without your weird comments when you were getting them from your frag tank.
I am enjoying the series a lot. If you do begin adding trace elements please can you do it step by step exactly how you did it and with what products. Thanks!
