You will be always remembered R.IP jake 💔🥀
Well said
What happened?
Rest in peace dude
The nano videos are the reason why I have a ten gallon waterbox reef. Great content!
I let my tank run for almost a year after I had a heater malfunction and lost all my coral and most fish. I did absolutely nothing. My wife and I also had a baby a little later so I didn’t have much time to mess with it anyways. I didn’t scrape the glass do a water change just kept up on my ato container. I had hair algae so think I couldn’t see in the tank anymore. When I decided to revamp the tank i did a 75% water change scrubbed all rock and glass to remove algae and my tank has never looked better. I think to being successful in this hobby its all about maturity and it takes a while to get that
I only stumbled across this channel just last week when researching more on Red Sea products. I instantly was glued to Jake as he had such a charming effervescent personality on screen that I subscribed to this channel. I just heard of the news recently and much prayer to his family. I am glad to have sub’ed to this channel.
R.I.P Jake Adams sad news.
I always look forward to this tank update. Very inspiring, you keep it so simple. Makes people want to start reef keeping.
Love this nano tank series, it is so fun to watch a project like this from the beginning and watch it grow over time, I think that is what we are really enjoying about this nano series. Grats on the subs and looking forward to more content.
Keep them coming. Still really like this tank. As you mentioned the this tank (1 year no waterchanges video) got me into the hobby.
It popped into my feed one day and the rest is history.
Love this series Jake. Thanks for the updates. This tank and your vidoes are a big part of what pushed me to start a nano reef having no previous experience. Just finished the cycle and first fish in yesterday. It's going to be an interesting journey!
How’s your tank?
@@joshperrin5294 Pretty good! Got a second fish and a few tester corals about a month later. Hammer and clove polyps have been happy and healthy but my Zoa's haven't been overly happy. Just added a third fish and an assorted batch of LPS today. Fish looks happy but Shipping was rough on the corals so we'll see if they'll bounce back.
@@alarsen18 that’s awesome man! I just set up my nano tank today. I’ve been wanting to give it a try for awhile so I finally took the plunge. I’m going to take it slow and only add in a few different corals and a couple clown fish. Good luck on your tank man!
That little tank is so cool!
Jake this tank is not only informative but it’s very inspiring keep up the great work
Love this series! Hope you keep updating it & Congrats on 100k subs! You guys deserve it
Been waiting for an update for this nano! Love the very easy approach on the tank with very little to no efforts at all 😉 I was always chasing numbers and ended up shooting the alk too high. Will change my strategy from now on. "observe but don't over react" 😁
Thanks!
Thanks for the amazing videos! You have some of the best content out there
I have learn alot from watching you thanks for putting outstanding answers to my question👍
I'm that astute observer lol, thanks for the shout out!! Great to see the progression of this tank! Excellent series, following along!
I have 10g JBJ AIO and I love it 👍👍👍 nice update thanks
Great video Jake! I think the tank looks great! 😀👍👍
i love green star polyp so much
Those palys look amazing, I’m such a sucker for palythoa grandis.
Beautiful nano tank 😍 👌🏽
beautiful tank 🤗
Great video bro
I love it.
Love you video's greetzz from Amsterdam👍👍
I have the exact tank and have a built dyi aqua clear hang on refugium on it
That is one beautiful star polyp carpet on the back.😁
Beautiful
Hey Mr. Jake ! :) I love love love that acro you posted just moments ago on your site Acropora striata - Rainbow Hues from Bali Aquarium’s Coral Farm
berghia nudibranch are my favorite way to eliminate aptasia.
Over doing is the true killer
I love the GSP's. I love seeing them growing like that. 💗
I also have a bright white bottom.
This tank build and Video Series finally convinced me to start my 1st Saltwater Tank, after being in the Freshwater Hobby for over 15 years and researching the Reef Tank Hobby for 8 years!
Followed your steps exactly...from the Brightwell Aquatics Bacteria Starter to the 2 Little Fishies Synthetic Salt Mix
and have successfully set up a 40G Breeder with 35lbs Life Rock, 30 Pounds of aragonite and 2 Clowns, I plan on adding my 1st coral in a few days. My Tank is looking great so far.
That is amazing!! So proud of you!
65 ib of rock in a 40g which is poss more like 35g,minus displacement of 65 ib rock which is around 5 gallons so remember you have only 30 gallons.
@@PazLeBon You are correct, we actually put around 34 gallons of water in the tank, and it is topped off completely with about 1.5 inches to the lid
@@Thespacecoastreef Cool man ;) To be honest I guess I thought it was a lot of rock, pricey too ;)
@@PazLeBon
35lbs Life Rock
30lbs Aragonite
Just added 6 corals yesterday...
Mostly frags.
Pulsing Zenia on its own rock in bottom corner of tank, 8 inches away from main rock structure.
Red and Green Blasto Frag.
Purple Tip Frogspawn.
Florida Rainbow Recordia.
Bam Bam Zoa.
And...a larger chunk of GSP, on its own life rock back corner of tank.
All are doing absolutely excellent (Except GSP is being a cry baby...dipped all in Reef Revive and GSP had some bugs on it...placed it back in tank, closed up...others opened back up in a couple of hours.
Next morning was fully open, then closed halfway after about 6 hours of being open, moved the rock around to more center corner back area, and its 90% closed. I'm sure it will be fine)
My Ricordia is already stretching down to the rock and looks like it's about twice as big since I bought it.
2 Black Clowns, 1 Yellow Devil Damsel (so far, not a meany yet, but will keep an eye on him)..1 scooter Blenny
All within 1.5 weeks. Going to sit and hold right now for a month or 2 to monitor tank...but so far so good.
With all gadgets and add-ons that are available for tanks today especially reef systems, it's nice to see a simple and easy to maintain AIO tank! I find that the tanks that are designed for simplicity are the ones that have little to no issues and experience the most success. This, I believe, has become a lost art and I appreciate you guys focusing on this so new aquarists can start a tank wether marine or freshwater and not have to go crazy buying every new gadget available which can get very expensive and overwhelming! Great job!!!
agrreed in principle but is ato worth it on a nano like this? whats it lose, a litre a week? lol And these things dont seem to avoid neglect do they; ) I dont like this particular tank asit goes
What light do yall recommend for a 15 peninsula tank
What light are you running over the Aussie wall tank in the background now?
what protein skimmer are you using
True talk! Troubles come when people do too much! 👍
or too little
I like how few corals you have in the tank. It allows them to grow out and colonize nicely. Is that camo hat available in your store?
It’s not available at the moment as we sold these at Reefstock but we will hopefully be adding more merch soon!
Is there a main structure holding up the green star? If so what is it? I want green star in my tank but I want to be able to remove it If I need to so it doesn't spread to the walls of the tank.
The Kmart bluelight special edition! ☝🏽😉 I’m kidding
What strain of gsp is the please ive got 2 types already but there not as wavey as that. Also can you do a video all about stylophora please 🙏 i really want to grow it but i dont have much luck with it
How many hours?
You keep the light on?
Hi,i like to know the light shedule.Also the settings from the lamp.I started a nano tank because of all of the nano video's.Fun challence
Hil ! someone knows the brand of this lid?
Did you get the glass top made? Thanks, loving the videos
It’s just a random piece of glass we had. But you could totally have one made.
Is this red sea nano cube ?
Love that hat. Where can I get it??
What’s the light that he’s using in this tank?
🖤
Great tank - do u run just the blues all day or u add some white during the day too ?
Just up to about 20% white for 30% of the photoperiod
More videos one the peninsula red sea (ULM tank video on it ) :S ?
Looking to purchase a lid for our. Anyone know which is on this tank or any favorites to prevent evaporation?
friend, what basic product do you recommend that is good for maintaining calcium and kh.
any two part solution should do it
This nano reef is the best 🤌🏽
Maybe I missed it but what are the c02 levels in your builbuilding
400-600ppm
Wish I can do this....... I'm having an algae problem.....I bought a used red sea max 130 d and moved to my house kept rock alive changed sand set it up put couple fish in and couple frags .... Now getting algae especially where Coraline algae was ......is this normal should I let it take it's course or keep trying to clean it out
Definitely reduce the lighting intensity and duration and cut back the feeding to start and see how that helps knock back the algae while your tank ecology catches up to the growth
I want to see the 100K plaque in every video now
After watching this I’ve decided it’s no need for me to be running chemi pure elite and phosbond I’m taking both out of my rear chamber I’ll jus run filter floss and skimmer from now on since my tank never came with filter sock what do you guys think
Yeah man I think you'll be alright, you can keep the chemical media nearby if/when any (serious) algae creeps up
Thank you I will keep that in mind hopefully my clean up crew can keep it under control
i noyiced it last video. but thought maybe it was a one time thing? is tsa a new sponsor for the channel? will you be doing an unboxing from them like you did jason fox and wwc?
I don't dose I change water weekly and do regular maintenance
Can someone please tell me the name of the green coral that is growing in the left backside of the tank??? Please
Green star polyp
what type of gsp is that? mine is not spreading at all im going for a gsp backround
nvmm
Looks like ultra green GSP which loves high flow
I can't get GSP to grow either. I simply don't understand.
Hi jake
Wtttff he died ???? What happened to him ? Omg i just got goosebumps !!!
How do you keep your cat from jumping in your tanks/frag tanks?
She doesn’t care about the tanks!
😃
How did you guys go about cycling this tank in only 1 day? Also, did you guys ever put a clean up crew in the tank?
better cycling it for 30 day for me, with lamp always on. pour the bacteria starter every day for 2 week, and pour it every one week after that.
you can add hardy fish after 3 day to supply amonia for the bacteria.
Jake you may have just solved my high mag mystery. Im using a rodi filter so not sure how much mag could make it through if any but my reef constantly runs at 1700+ mag and im using Red Sea blue bucket and no dosing yet so that’s very elevated. Any chance it could be source water contributing to mag that high?
'residual' magnesium could come from your source water depending on how much water your evaporate and replace
@@ReefBuildersVideo about 5 gallons per week on a 65 gallon tank. Might be worth having and icp test done on my ro since I’ve been wanting to send one in for my main tank anyways just to see how things are going. On the plus side no corals look bad and I’ll never have to dose mag lol.
@@KnarBurger sounds like could benfit from a lid? Thats a lot of evap @ around 10% andtherefore moretop off water that might be suspect?
@@PazLeBon really? I feel like that’s pretty normal evap rate especially considering it’s winter. Will be interested to see how much it cuts down when we can finally open the windows again in a month or two. Like I said the corals aren’t having any issues so I don’t care at this point I just want to know what’s doing it so if it becomes a problem I already know what’s causing it.
@@KnarBurger maybe youre right, differnt climates fairplay. I lose 3- 4litres *- under 1 gallon per day on my 100 gallon system lidded but it was 10litres 2.5 gallon before the lid so a huge difference comparitively in that sense
I gotta be honest, I came here through the KG crew and I'm kinda leaning towards the dark side now (reef), money is the issue to be honest at this point.
actually you don't need to siphon your sand, i never siphon my tank, it has been running for 8 year.
Those clowns are cool. What type of clown are those?
Mocha storms
😆😳😖
Alright, I'll take the bait. No dosing, hardly any water changes, and the tank looks this good? How is that possible? That goes against everything every other reefer writes about. 🤔
Has years of experience, been doing videos on this tank for years combination of low feeding and not over complicating the simple stuff
