What a difference a good clean makes; such a beautiful and vibrant little tank. Thanks for sharing. Definitely inspires confidence for others thinking about taking the plunge.
Started a nano around the same time as this.. actually watched this series for guidance. My tank is miles behind this one but it's been fun and challenging. Best advice I got was nothing good happens overnight! Patience is key. Been a yr and a half and still loving it.
@@williamgoebel7289 I'm doing exactly that, I'm waiting on last minute items while trying to set it up properly. I'm getting close to water/sand, live rock. I'm feeling the fish selection pressure coming upon me. I think I'm watching to many videos, I'm getting overwhelmed lol
Bought my first Red Sea Nano tank because of your videos...Loving it so far, and excited to add corals, just slow rolling it. Thank you for the great content.
My redsea nano is coming Wednesday all because of your videos. Starting a zoa tank!! Love all your content, farm/shop visit videos, and education you have provided. Thank you🙏🐠
Love the new RB hat. Those dental picks work great for removing bubble algae. I stole your idea and ordered some after watching one of your previous videos. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Cant wait for new nano setup vids,i download and watch all of your vids about nano tank,i really like it, and i try to make for my self,its been 1 month hope its turn well like ur setup
Awesome, I picked up my max nano because of this little tank you guys setup, been loving it. Question - what did you do with the filter sock, clean it, throw it away and put a new one in?
Yaaaa...1000 likes, time to show us this tank in blue fluorescent light and please please do the video showing the complete process from changing the lights to the final result. 😍😍😍😍
Hello ,so the ato reservoir you are going to add elements to it like I would love to see a video on this subject. and i love this tank every time you show it. I just upgraded from my 14 bio cube to a IM nuvo 40 and loving it too
Would love to see more of this tank! I set up a budget 15 gal nano tank about 5 weeks ago after being inspired by this setup. It’s currently hosting an black and white Ocellaris clown pair and a shrimp goby/pistol shrimp pair. I’m going to wait another month or 2 before I add any corals, and I was considering doing a hammer, torch, and frogspawn as my first additions. Any tips on caring for those specific corals? Also, what’s the experience level you would rate them at? I’m a complete beginner when it comes corals, and I don’t want to start off with anything too difficult
What have you got going on in the the aio sump for this tank? Is it just a skimmer, heater, pump and a sponge or what is running to keep it so low maintenance? Is there a refugium can you fit that on a small tank?
Do you mind if I ask what your Ph, Kh, Ca, Mg levels are? It’s very similar to my nano with mostly to all LPS and your that tank is thriving. Thank you.
I have a question when u put the tank together how did u get the microbubbles to go away from the protein skimmer. Mines been running for 4 days and bubbles won’t go away
Have you ever tried the putty method on aptasia? Take some 2K (rock scaping) putty, put it on the aptasia so it retracts, and put the putty on top of it.
yep. just super glue it. i went to my LFS and he scraped a little off the bottom of a frag tank, and gave it to me for 10 bucks. glued it to the back wall, next morning...the shag carpet wall has begun.
I need your advice or suggestion on growing GSP, in the past 1 year i have got several frags of and a huge frag on rock, but after couple of months they stop to open up, what cud i be doing wrong, all corals including SPS are growing well. Pls help me out here
Emerald crabs will definitely help. I liked the syphon he used. I modified my python and took the main attachment of and used a zip tie to attach a toothbrush to it so I could scrub and syphon green hair algae. Definitely pays to think outside the box and improvise. I was hesitant to mess with green hair so I didn't spread it but found if I spend a few minutes 2 or 3 times a week it's affective! Hope this helps!
How are you getting so great flow in that tank? Just with the return pump? a special nozzle? that GSP is just waving back and forth along the back wall.
Calcium Formate - (All For Reef) might be a good option for the ATO for calcium and alk replenishment. Or just straight up Bio-Calcium with no trace elements.
I say this but I should say with caution for others reading here, because bio-calcium and all for reef is an organic compound formate, bacteria could grow in the reservoir. Not sure if anyone else has seen that.
They don't release it if they don't get cut or boiled (Opened in some way). Use active carbon in the tank if you are still worried good idea either way
I had the green D-D auto topup sensor fail on me after to months. Dumped the entire reservoir into the tank. My reservoir as not that big, but it would crash your.
@@ReefBuildersVideo not local to Denver but seriously thinking about hopping on a plane and coming to reefstock. If I do I hope you have a tour of the studio and maybe sit down for a few beers and talk reef!
Don't dose nanos. 🤷♂️ Kalk drip or dose Kalk if you don't have enough evap. I dosed 2 part , 3 part, many methods and never got the good results and consistent ph/alk/ca as being able to drip kalk. Larger volumes of water I got parameters on 🔒 with 4 channels.
My 10 gallon nano was becoming overrun with dinos. My solution was to stop doing ANY water changes and remove all chemical media (I was using Chemipure Blue) except for carbon. The dinos completely disappeared within two weeks. Now instead of the weekly water changes I was doing I do them once a month. Water changes are often promoted as some kind of panacea but there is such a thing as water that’s TOO clean.
Yeah they like nutrient devoid conditions so running gfrc and carbon can lower your phosphate too low resulting in dino outbreak. Black outs and a little phosphate is what I remember being the two most effective ways. Stay away from dosing etoh/carb
@@bbingtubeI’m glad new reefers are more likely to come across information that says some nitrates and some phosphates are desirable. Dinos suck to have to deal with when you’ve been indoctrinated to believe any detectable nutrients are bad.
Nothing to that little Red Sea tank. In his previous videos it’s barely had what like two maybbbeee three water changes? Jake’s chemical additives and methodology is very sparse. Just two part on some tanks, calcium reactors with kalkwasser, water changes. Julian Sprung’s Acropower. But this tank doesn’t even get any of that, because it’s proof of concept that you don’t necessarily need to be hyper involved with your reef tank, even a nano, if implemented correctly. He barely even feeds the fish, making sure every bit of the food gets consumed, which keeps his nutrients optimum for that nano.
Popping valonia algea is a way of killing it but it seems like scraping it could cause more to grow. If one of those unpopped bubbles lands, it grows out to form a colony and ultimately grows larger.
Oh! I always thought popping causes it to spread as well, I was lucky that I only ever got it on rocks that I can take out and pick off into a throwaway bucket. I’ll give popping a shot if I ever come across it in my QT.
Xenia and GSP? In a Nano? 🤣🤣🤣👌 Keep your bare flesh outta the tank. You have a whole shop of appropriate tools around you. You are correct about the velonia. Emerald crabs may eat velonia, however, I've rarely seen them control infestation on their own. I've watched them molest and eat clove polyps and an assortment of my acros. I have video of it. Some are good.. some are bad. Wouldn't risk a bunch if you have alot of hide areas where they can not be captured. Velonia control can be accomplished with lowered phosphate/nitrate and compulsive agitation . Popping isnt always necessary, I use bent tweezers as an JS thing attachment 🤣. Gives you a straight and side attack angle! The loose'ies all end up in easy to siphon areas and seem to wither anyway. I find several weeks hitting the areas it occurs most gives me the momentum and it goes.... Until my lazy quarantine practice 🤣💥🌱🤷♂️
R.I.P. Jake. Thank you for all the knowledge and beautiful tanks that you brought to us. You will truly be missed.

Hello 👋 love the content I got into reef keeping because of you guys and coral fish 12g keep up the great work
Absolutely looking forward to ReefStock!! See you all there!
That little tank is very cool. I love the whole green star polyp side.
Love this series and can’t wait to get a picture with you in Dallas at Aquashella.
Amazing video thanks so much this tank inspired me to keep pushing In this hobby.
Wow awesome job 👏. What's your preferred method for cleaning algae off plating corals?
Absolutely love the candy floss goni. I would love one of those for my Max Nano. Brilliant video as always. Would love to see.it under blues 🙌👍
Almost 1000...yaaaaayyyy!! Beautiful tank. Love the pink goni. Going to be looking for some of that!!

Thanks!
Love these nano updates
Another awesome video! I see you love Goniopora just like I do. I'm having trouble with them staying open, they used to, now they don't 😑

Nice Job!!!
I Really love this tank
The whole periodic table depending on the tank but we've not yet started dosing this one
Just watched all these videos on the nano ! Did you get the glass top made?
Awesome video, what size is that nano tank?
Wow the music..... keep it coming
Man I love that torch…. Could you point me in the direction of where to find one like it??
Hello, what is the led setting please ? Thank you :). Great video

Hii Jake your Chanel are the best
What have you got going on in the the aio sump for this tank? Is it just a skimmer, heater, pump and a sponge or what is running to keep it so low maintenance?
Is there a refugium can you fit that on a small tank?
I love that little tank it is so beautiful. What ato system are you using?

*Beautiful*
Do you mind if I ask what your Ph, Kh, Ca, Mg levels are? It’s very similar to my nano with mostly to all LPS and your that tank is thriving. Thank you.
What was the little vacuum you were using to suck up the green bubble algae?
Can you transfer corals with Aiptasia in the system but not on the coral to another tank without cross contamination?
I have a question when u put the tank together how did u get the microbubbles to go away from the protein skimmer. Mines been running for 4 days and bubbles won’t go away
Have you ever tried the putty method on aptasia? Take some 2K (rock scaping) putty, put it on the aptasia so it retracts, and put the putty on top of it.
Quick question…..How does one get the green star polyps attached to the back wall or walls? Really nice stable nano reef!
super glue a frag to the back wall or scrape a peice of gsp off and glue it wherever
yep. just super glue it. i went to my LFS and he scraped a little off the bottom of a frag tank, and gave it to me for 10 bucks. glued it to the back wall, next morning...the shag carpet wall has begun.

Mine is overrun by bubble algae, and you made getting rid of it look so damn easy. What was the syphon you used?

hello. may I ask what your light settings are? thanks
*_awesome_*
Nice tank
I love green star. Just keep it segragated.
Where did the Kenya Coral go? Did you remove from tank?
Calcium Formate - (All For Reef) might be a good option for the ATO for calcium and alk replenishment. Or just straight up Bio-Calcium with no trace elements.
I say this but I should say with caution for others reading here, because bio-calcium and all for reef is an organic compound formate, bacteria could grow in the reservoir. Not sure if anyone else has seen that.
What light is over the Aussie LPS wall tank?
What corals are in this tank can you list them?
I notice you guys have palys in smaller tanks. How do you avoid palytoxin? I've always heard that having them at all is unpredictability dangerous.
They don't release it if they don't get cut or boiled (Opened in some way). Use active carbon in the tank if you are still worried good idea either way
nano tank hype
Hi. I've just bought a nano. What lid do you have on the tank?
how are you going to take care of the aiptasia?
If you do add supplements to the ato water can you do a video on that as well please
What light is on that tank
As many others have stated in the comments I also started a 29 gal.Red Sea
What was used to syphon ohh the algae off the rocks would love to get something like that instead of trying to use a normal size syphon.
@@rayp7066 a thinner plastic tube attached to a smaller hose.
I had the green D-D auto topup sensor fail on me after to months. Dumped the entire reservoir into the tank. My reservoir as not that big, but it would crash your.
I really like that purple and green favia? What is the name of that piece and where do you get it?
A type of prism favia. They are quite common. If you are local to Denver Keepin’ It Reef had about a dozen frags of prism favia at their shop.

Very satisfying seeing that bubble algae go bye bye.
Y'all are crazy letting that GSP take over. lol
Love this tank..! P.s ....
no poetry for this one lol
your dirty tank looked cleaner than any of my 6 tanks right now :)
Ist it 45x45 or 57x45 ? Great Reef
Thats the same ATO I've been looking at for my nano
Do you have any euphyllia baliensis in your tanks?
Man I WISH!
my skimmer is very loud any ideas of keepin the noise down? it is the red sea nanao skimmer
Where can I get one of those camo/blaze orange reefbuilders hats Jake? Dope AF.
We will have them for sale at Reefstock. Hopefully we will have them for sale online in the near future!
Hi Jake, can you turn on subtitles for the other languages on your channel? thank you very much 👍🏼👍🏼 we see you from Spain
Is it just me or did you remove a good portion of the sand?
Whoa what were those little buggers that popped when you siphoned at 4:05
what is the name for coral like hair in back of the tank?
GSP Green Star Polyp
Time for the blue lights.:)
I have a 32 gallon bio cube. What’s a good lofts schedule? Yes I have the coral life light
just keep it low intensity, short duration, and blue spectrum to start
Aside from Calcium, what is the must "dose" dose for Corals?
Alkalinity
Don't dose nanos. 🤷♂️ Kalk drip or dose Kalk if you don't have enough evap. I dosed 2 part , 3 part, many methods and never got the good results and consistent ph/alk/ca as being able to drip kalk. Larger volumes of water I got parameters on 🔒 with 4 channels.
