Soft coral recommendation, look for toadstool with bright polyps. Orange yellow or the common bright green. Clowns pair up with them well, their tiny polyps will add some movement with time.
I think the reason your firefish hides is because of the small space, lack of schooling mates and the territorial clowns. I have two purple fire fish and they swim in the middle section all day long until night time when they hide to sleep. I have a 350 litre tank with 1 foxface, blue tang, yellow tang, 2 clowns, 1 fanged blenny, 1 demsel, 1 cleaner wrasse, 2 clowns, 1 royal gramma, 1 red hawkfish and loads of inverts. None of them are hiding from each other
I thought that, but I spent a good 2 hours watching the tank. The firefish comes out to feed and the clownfish never bothers it. Saying that every time the clown goes near the firefish it darts back in the cave. I think if it was in a tank on its own I would see if more, it's just so scared of everything 😂
Lol I feel you on the firefish. Mine is always out but it has about a 12” square it spends most of its day swimming in. Half the day my one clown comes over and chills beside it, kind of funny lol.
Love the update; very inspirational...also love the IM 20...I have the same one...Had it up since May 2021...looking forward to uploading the videos...
I know this is a little older but I have a cabbage leath, r and it's been greatIt's veryry easy and covers the rock I have it on nicely. Plus, it's not aggressive at all. Nice tank. Thanks for sharing.
Loved the video, what you’ve created is exactly what I’m on the path hoping to create, just with the Waterbox 25 peninsula. Just waiting for the cycle to finish. Looking to get pair of clowns, Royal Gramma and maybe Blenny then work on a zoa garden with a rock anemone
Lovely little tank that! What about a Photosynthetic gorgonian in the back right corner of the rockwork for a complete contrast in form This will add some height, will frame the corals in front and draw the eye away from the back glass. Regardless its a beautiful tank anyway.
Brilliant video mate, was looking forward to seeing this one and you didn't disappoint, loved it, the tank looks incredible and a credit to you for the hard work!
Your purple firefish will come out much more often if you get 1 or two more. I have 2 purple and 1 red and they're out all the time together. At first I had only 1 and noticed it always hid, so I got 2 more and all of them come out all the time, they only hide during water changes.
I hope you are feeding those feather dusters. They will need enough phyto to turn your tank slightly green. Do that or take them back to the LFS. So much for your light bio load lol.
Tank is looking incredible mate , absolutely stunning, I absolutely love that bounce mushroom definitely need something like that in mine, colours and life is amazing, but above all so minimalistic and just absolutely works. Great work mate 👍👍👍
Cheers Ste, yeah the bounce is pretty nice isn't it. The minimalistic style isn't for everyone but I like it and it's bloody easy to maintain. I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out 🙂
Love the commentary on the fire fish! Not an exciting fish! I will comment on the zoas though. I don't like recommending them to beginners. I feel that people should study up on palytoxin before they purchase Zoanthids or Palythoa too many kids are keeping poisonous corals without understanding the ramifications. Cheers, Chris
A little late to the party but pink nepthia is a beautiful softy. How often do you change the bio balls, and how has the kenya tree done for you? Cheers
Both very different tanks, this one is more a living piece of art and the other more an active reef tank. Truth be told as a reef tank this one is a little boring, it's very static and not very active as the fish don't swim around all that much. I still like them both though 😁
Beauteful Tank. But my Firefish is swimming in against the flow nearly all day. So I see him all the day. He is just hiding in his cave in the night :)
I found when I had fire fish in the past that they would spend most of the time swimming against the flow. Perhaps it is because your flow is very random with those random flow generators? If the flow was more "surging" perhaps he would swim in that more. Just a guess.
Lovely tank mate. I had the opposite experience with ATO ( auto top off ) I put aside my TMC for the H2Ocean as my TMC failed me after a year ? I would really love to hear why your ATO failed you ? As I am using the light sensor one ☝️ that you showed in this tank ( green light). Thanks mate 😀👍🏽
I've wanted to go bigger for a while but the more I think about it the more I feel like my 2 tanks are the perfect size for my lifestyle. Maintenance is sooo much easier on a smaller tank too. Imagine going a 20% waterchange on a reefer 900 😫
He's definitely not getting bullied, I've watched him for hours when he comes in and out and the clownfish don't touch him. I agree with what your saying though, he's obviously not happy and is probably intimidated by the clowns. I'll consider pulling him this weekend and replacing with something else 🙂
That scape is so minimalist but so beautiful thank you for the inspiration
Finally a video that's a straight shooter!
All the info and straight to the point! Thank you!

Yeah i was about to say its because if the two clowns in such a small tank
What an amazing tank!
I think your lady clownfish might be bullying your fire fish, and therefore it could be hiding where the clown can’t get to it.

Nice tank. Thanks for sharing.
Love this little nano tank. Just subscribed to your channel!
My firefish is exactly the same way
I agree with you about the Fire fish goby, mine also hide a lot, very boring indeed.
Japanese willow toadstool would be a nice leather coral to have and would add some movement
I saw a nice Japanese toadstool in my LFS the other week, it had been sold though. I'm currently on the hunt for another 😁
Nice update on the Nano Tris. Oh i do like those fake lime chillies!!!
That reminds me, I promised you some of these. I'll get on the case as soon as I can buddy 🙂
That tank is dreamyyyyyyy 🥶

Cheers mate, that's a great combo! Simple stock that's easy to maintain 😎
I love this tank.
Cheers mate 😁
i think i like tanks like this the most more minimalistic and with mostly soft corals!
Nice video. The coral is colorful, it spoils my eyes
Thank you
Lovely little tank that! What about a Photosynthetic gorgonian in the back right corner of the rockwork for a complete contrast in form This will add some height, will frame the corals in front and draw the eye away from the back glass. Regardless its a beautiful tank anyway.
That's a great idea!
Im sold, my next project will be a salt water tank.
Brilliant video mate, was looking forward to seeing this one and you didn't disappoint, loved it, the tank looks incredible and a credit to you for the hard work!
Cheers Ross! Other than the odd aiptasia sprouting here and there I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out 🙂
love seeing what you did with your 20 gallons, inspires me with mine!
The blastos look cool
Stunning tank mate! Very simple but a great choice of corals, love how the Acans and Zoas are all mixed together and look amazing! Nice one! 👍
Cheers buddy!
Beautiful tank. If I were to add corals to the front left side, High dollar would be scolymia, low dollar long tentacle toadstool.
I've considered adding something to the front left but I think it will take away from the look I'm going for
Thanks freaking Grand!
Cheers buddy

Hi! great video! I think your tank & light look great! I bet your main tank looks amazing! 😀👍
Nice job! Great tank.
Cheers buddy
Always looking amazing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Cracking update! Tank looks awesome mate 👍
Cheers Andy 😎
Not really a nano tank but beautiful none the less!
Neon leather Cabbage is beautiful. There's some great ones on ebay depending on location.
Got an update on the tank and what equipment your using?
I love your tour tank and approach on your setup… we have sorta similar setups
Look for long tentacle Japanese leathers, they're pretty funky looking.
I'll keep my eye out. I saw a nice Japanese toadstool in my LFS the other day. Unfortunately it was sold by the time I got there 😔
A little late to the party but pink nepthia is a beautiful softy. How often do you change the bio balls, and how has the kenya tree done for you? Cheers
I actually think this is better than your bigger tank! Both great tho!
Both very different tanks, this one is more a living piece of art and the other more an active reef tank. Truth be told as a reef tank this one is a little boring, it's very static and not very active as the fish don't swim around all that much. I still like them both though 😁
Beauteful Tank. But my Firefish is swimming in against the flow nearly all day. So I see him all the day. He is just hiding in his cave in the night :)
He's not boring he's just alone

Cool tank bro, really like it. Probably adding a gsp island would look cool, it will add more movement to the tank.
Great video.coral looks fantastic
Looks great!
Cheers buddy
The reason your fire fish hides is because you have two territorial clown fish in a small tank
My fire-fish was shy for a few months, now he’s always swimming around, I would just be patient
Great setup mate!
Keep up the good work
Important when dosing, 75 litres = 20 US gallons but only 16.6 UK gallons
Absolutely! I only use litres for all my calculations for that reason
The other fish gets bullied lol
Lovely tank mate. I had the opposite experience with ATO ( auto top off ) I put aside my TMC for the H2Ocean as my TMC failed me after a year ? I would really love to hear why your ATO failed you ? As I am using the light sensor one ☝️ that you showed in this tank ( green light). Thanks mate 😀👍🏽
The sensor housing cracked and allowed water to get in. It was rusting on the inside and stopped functioning
@@NanoTankReefer ah cheers for that mate. I’ll have to keep an eye out for cracks then. 👍🏽
Sounds like trap lore Ross
Add another purple fire fish or another small dither fish and yours will come out more often
your aquarium is very nice you can help me with those colors of your radion
Great tank! I noticed you have the overflow water riser, is that 3d print?
Cheers buddy, yes the water risers are 3d printed. A mate of mine printed them for me
having doubts getting firefish 😂
Nano tank reefer...your aquarium is very nice you can help me with those colors of your radion
A clam would look ace on the sand bed there
Love your rock nem where did you get that in the Uk ?
I'm pretty sure I got this one from a place called BBA Atlantis buddy
a clam would be cool
If I added a clam I would likely have to keep alk and calcium super stable
Without dosing I don't think it would last very long 😔
@@NanoTankReefer what about a weeping willow toadstool (although i havent been able to get one near me in the uk sadly, they look awesome )
Beautiful tank!! Approximately how much is that entire set-up?
I've done a video on how much it app cost 🙂 have a look through the nano tank build playlist
Where is the tail spotted Bennie?
I see a lot of cyno in there have you ever tried with success to get rid of it
Fire fish doesn’t come out because it doesn’t have sight breaks. Mine hid until it found a spot where it could hang and not see my clowns
Now that I didn't know. Thanks for the info buddy!
Did you ever upgrade return pumps for the random flow generators or do you find the smaller mighty jet sufficient?
I rate the D&D auto topoff but don't rate the heat controller though mine broke after like 2 month's.
hello do you do water changes on this tank to maintain it or do you dose and do water changes as well?
Hi, What measurements does the aquarium have?
how can I get two if those filter floss cups?
Is that an Ikea Hemnes dresser? Hows it hold up with the weight of the tank?
Well spotted. I've added some extra legs to the cabinet and it's now more than stable
You changedvwater every week? What percentage?
What are those blue zoas?
Do you have a link for the ato youre using?
Thanks
Love this tank. Where do you get your corals from ?
Cheers mate, I get them from all over mate. Some of the corals like the rock flower I've had for years and moved from my other tank
@@NanoTankReefer looks great mate well done. I have a waterbox 170 litre... Smaller tanks are better
Much quicker and cheaper to fill with corals 🙌
@@NanoTankReefer agreed. Cleaner look too. I have a 130 display with a 50 litre sump and to be honest I would go any bigger.
I've wanted to go bigger for a while but the more I think about it the more I feel like my 2 tanks are the perfect size for my lifestyle. Maintenance is sooo much easier on a smaller tank too. Imagine going a 20% waterchange on a reefer 900 😫
Hi how to connect with you. have a couple of questions regards reef tanks hopigng you could answer thanks!
Drop me a message on Instagram buddy
@nano_tank_reefer
Thank you sent you a message man
Do you have the link for that auto top off?
If you're in the UK you can pick it up from most online retailers buddy 🙂
@@NanoTankReefer oh dang i’m in the US
I have the same tank do u sell the 3D printed cups?
I don't have a 3d printer buddy, a mate of mine that does printed them for me
Thought id be first :)
What programation please?
What do you mean buddy?
you probably should remove the fire fish, he get bullied that's why he hid all the time, eventually will get stressed out
He's definitely not getting bullied, I've watched him for hours when he comes in and out and the clownfish don't touch him. I agree with what your saying though, he's obviously not happy and is probably intimidated by the clowns. I'll consider pulling him this weekend and replacing with something else 🙂
FIREFISH SUCK!
This is not nano
Its nice tho
Not a nano reef 🪸 lol I have a real bank reef it’s 4 gallons total
