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.
Le meilleur moment pour un aquariophile, remplir son aquarium mais toi tu as juste à faire ton marché, c'est TOP !!!
Merci Jake ... 👏👏👏
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!
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO!!! YOUR WORK NEVER DISAPPOINTS!!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
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.
I am loving the new intro music selection.
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!
Love it! Merry christmas guys!
Thanks for the video....turned out really nice.
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!
This is so amazing... i am thinking of getting a saltwater tank in about 6 months Still learning... 😊🙏
Ah man, I would love to have a long-polyp pink toadstool like that, what a pretty coral.
So cool. Keep it up. Absolutely love the channel
great video hoping to see more soon!!
Great series!
Another great video in the series! Tank is starting to look really sweet but you blew me out of the water with the corals going into the tank that quickly. And not just that, did you acclimate them to the new tank? I've done new tanks in a day but I was using sand, rock and water pulled from my much larger system so even though it was a "new" tank, the environment was the same so the corals didn't need any acclimation time and the tank didn't need to cycle.
Nice little series! 😎🎉
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.
Just as I thought my tank was looking good you make one that looks better in a day 😂
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 😍
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.
I wish I can go to a store and pick corals like that and not paying a cent 😂🤣 great content 👍
That Ritteri anemone is looking great!
I can't wait till that anemone gets his own aquarium and and a bunch of symbiotic buddies!! This tank looks amazing
Lol hey bud i watched the other video witch explained it all for me love the videos and i wish we had the same set up over here in Scotland but the fish shops are rubbish here so it's hard to get nice corals and stuff but ones I set my dream tank up i will be ordering all my corals from wwc ;) as they are amazing anyways all the best bud and thanks for taking the time to get back to me ;)
This was a fun video to watch bud, thought you should know
Looking good!
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!
Good Job, i like it greez from Germany
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
RIP Jake!
watching you pick through your coral tanks made me laugh so much... oooh yeah from a shiiipWRECK pmsl some amazing looking corals too
I have a question!
I love that tank so much so I was wondering how large it was!
Nice Job!!!
Will you be adding more coral waiting for update
I would love to know what return pump your using, the flow compared to my nano is nothing. I have problems with coral placement
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
Would like to see a few zoas as well ... 😊
So dope.
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.
Can you please do a video on your holding tanks for coral and the equipment?
Beautiful tank! What kind of light did you use?
Jake was a very knowledgeable person. It's sad that he is no longer with us, my condolences. It is important to note that Reef builders, like all the other reef pundits, are only about that dollar. Some knowledge is gained, but We the hobbyists must learn by experience as well.
I'm using Dr. Tim's and ammonia for a fishless cycle. I'm on day 4 now and my nitrites are starting to go up. Once the tank finishes cycling and I do a water change I'd like to add one clown fish for the ammonia and a mushroom and or a soft coral or LPS. When should I be able to do this? I know you cycled your tank a little differently.
Very nice 😊
Do u add any extra power heads for flow, or just use the sump return pump?
Thx
Love Acan corals
Awesome series! Can you name the music you used? Good taste!
Legend
Hualll top ... ficou show
Does the water really clears up over night that’s amazing cloudy to crystal clear, did you put water treatment to speed up the clarity?
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.
I’m new to this. Are you gluing the coral to the rock?
What's the intro song? Catchy...I need to build my tank with that in the background
Could you talk about the measurements of the aquarium ??
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.
so cool
you rock!
Looks 👌✌
Do you use anything to stick the corals so they dont move ?
What was the name of that Acan and the Australian blast thing? I couldn't understand you.
How do you stick the corals on the rock? Glue?
How do you actually make the coral stick to the rocks? I was kinda hoping to find that out with this video : (
Do u need to epoxy corals to rock ?
Thx a lot
I have a 12 gallon IQ 9 drop tank with a stock Dymax Space X 48 watts l.e.d light..can you tell me what coral might be successful under this light besides soft coral ?
Nice 👌
what are your lights set to. this is so important for me to find out. it's killing me and my same tank as yours. i currently have mine on 40% blues and 5% whites. what are yours set to????
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.
I have the same candy cane and it is 4 months old it had not grown it is still two heads should I be concerned?
How do I get one of those long tenticle leathers?
NICE
Hav I missed yr filtration set up?
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
what are your settings on the the reefled50?
Anyone know what that green Euphyllia is he grabbed at the end of picking??? I couldn’t hear him. I want one for my tank.
How do you attach the corals to your rocks?
So they way hes handling them buy hand and taking out of the water is he not worried about toxic release??
Waiting for the day when u will bring stichodactyla gigantea 🔥
I'm trying to find a bouquet of them in time for Xmas
Is that blue light above the tank?
Lindo de mais 😁
Is Aptasia on that list?
can you explain why you "kinda" dont need to cycle for coral tank?
Jake, I think your contributions to reefing/the hobby are incredible! I absolutely love your series. However, Jake many new reefers will follow your process entirely and will run into all sorts of problems! I know that you are waiting for the BIG REVEAL and show that you added bacterial (probably from redsea) to eliminate the need to cycle/wait
but by then it will be a little too late for those who have already followed you. Please REVEAL sooner rather than later.
I completely agree. Jake is an outstanding reefer and has made amazing contribution to our hobby. However, many things in this series are dangerous for new reefers.....No cycle for corals? Where is the science that supports that!? New people are going to think you just filled a tank with saltwater at 30.5 (which is strange by itself) and placed corals in it 2 days later....New (and even experienced reefers) will fail! Plain and simple. This whole series is dangerous to our hobby and will result in many corals dying as a result. Delete series and re-evaluate the process. Again, thanks Jake for all that you have done but you are not helping any new reefers looking to get into the hobby with this series....maybe that wasn't your goal but people looking to get into this hobby are going to find this video regardless of the target audience
@@paulbarnhart3238 Paul Barnhart Hate to agree Jake is my favorite reefer on RUclips, but if a new reefers saw this series they would have more questions than answers. Jake said he shot for low salinity so he could have some wiggle room for dosing, seriously doubt new reefers are going to be dosing straight out of the gate. And there is almost zero mention in regards to equipment and filtration. Jake we love you this series is just a little questionable compared to your other videos.
@@paulbarnhart3238 I completely agree with Paul and Mav.
There are so many ways you could have done this better. Film it in one day but thru editing magic pretend the setup took a month or so. Gotta get the cycle started, fix the salinity, check for stable temp., etc. Then we add corals and fish.
The way it reads now is any newbie can buy the setup, mix saltwater, plop in hundreds of dollars of corals, add fish and in a month or so loose all the inhabitants. At least there will be a great deal for someone on Craig's List when the newbie gives up.
Come on Jake, you can do MUCH better than this!
Your concerns are all valid - there is some truth that a couple more videos will 'reveal' or at least summarize the tricks we did along the way, but you're also conflating the needs of corals with those of fish. I've been keeping corals in fresh setup tanks for many years, and researching if there is ANY evidence that corals either produce ammonia or are affected by it. I still haven't found any substantial mechanism by which corals could suffer from anything related to new tank syndrome.
How do you get the coral to stick?
What's the track at the beginning?
Like to see a sps tank set up
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?
That gold torch coral
Is this tank still up and running?
What shipwreck in Solomons?
At 0:07 what is that coral? Or is that just a bit of live rock?
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
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
How did you cycle this tank? you did not explain it. thanks
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.
