Nothing more beautiful than a reef tank, there are some amazing ones on Instagram though. Hope your tank is going well? Thank you for watching and commenting, it really helps the channel. Hope to see you in the next one.
Thank you so much. Your right mate, I need to do more 10 minute pick up and shoot videos and care less about the planning and endless editing, which puts me off to be honest. A nice mix is key. Thanks for watching and commenting, it all helps the channel. 🙂. Hope to see you in the next one.
If I'm being honest after 6 months, I don't have the light on very much. It pushes the PAR a little too high and the disappointing aspect is that you can't dial the light down. It's either off or on! I use it for photography or for half an hour when I want to see the coral pop. It's always on when I record my videos. Hope that helps. See you in the next video. 🙂
Evening Jay , Hope you & all the family are well fella? That Acan 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 wow , all the corals looking great . Agree with Paul, we want a sun coral update, care video 👍🏻 Mines looking good except for a diatom bloom on the bloody sand bed , not sure if it’s my source water or what, haven’t changed anything my end 🤷🏻♂️ catch up Friday if not before.
Love it when people give me video ideas...save me thinking 😂. Well I bloody love the sun coral, so I could easily do a little video on that. I think I love it more than the Goni's now 🤔. Mate, definitely catch-up on Friday. Really appreciate your loyal support of the channel. Hope all is well with your reef?
@@jaysrealreefuk touch woods everything looks great in mine well corals & fish but I’ve got a diatom bloom on the sand bed & haven’t changed anything or added anything to the tank… Need to send off an icp, not sure if source water or what… I’d dosed some bacteria for now & added a bag of silicate remover just in case , either wait for it too burn itself out or maybe do the 1-3 day lights off 🤷🏻♂️ but live stock looks great, strange one this hobby at times… Pleasure mate , appreciate the content you guys put out , keep up the good work & I’ll keep my eyes peeled for the sun coral video 👀.
Hi, just watched a few of your uploads, great content, looked at the one from signature frags, i live in Ripley and have never been !! will def pay a visit.
Thank you for taking the time to watch the channel. Yeah, Signature Frags is an incredible coral farm. Lots of choice to suit every budget, including some nice collectors pieces. Christian will look after you. What tank do you have? Happy New year 2024 🙂
Hi Jay, I have a 1200 DD , had the tank for 2 years and all was going well , the tank had an issue and basically I had to start again, thankfully didn't loose any fish but did loose quite a few corals, it's just starting to come good again with C A starting to cover my rocks, I would take you a picture but don't now how to upload for you !!, happy new year 🎊 Mark
Seems like these little videos could work 🤔. Film it over a cuppa, whilst watching the reef. Appreciate your feedback mate. Thank you. Hope to see you in the next one.
It's just after a water change, but this little nano hasn't given me too much trouble from day one. Love this hobby. How's your tank mate? Thanks for the comment, join us for the next one if you can.
Wow, in 8 months...I congratulate you on your reefing skills. This truly is a fabulous hobby. Mine took at least 14 months to achieve all 4. Thanks for watching and commenting, it really does help my channel. Hope to see you in the next one 🙂
Good shout...yes the tank is 2 and a half years old. Much more stable now. It started to settle down and hit a rhythm at about 14 months. Thanks for following the channel and always commenting. It all helps. Hope to see you in the next one.
I was just sat there watching the tank and thought sod it...let's make a quick video 🤣😂 1hr from filming to posting on YT. Lot less stress than normal 🤣😂. Thanks for watching mate, really appreciate your loyal follow. Hope to see you Friday mate.
Great update Jay. The corals are looking fantastic and tank super healthy. Love that Acan ❤. You should upload a video sun coral and what you do to keep it looking healthy 👌🏻
Cracking idea...you know how I like to talk about my sun coral 😂😂. Love the acan and it's nearly outgrown the tile, might need fragging soon, could make an interesting video. Looking forward to our weekly catch-up this Friday mate. Thanks for the comment, hope you watched all the adverts 🤣😂
Looking good Jay. The video is good too…. You really should do more shorter point and shoot videos. Great to see the tank thriving. PS if you had a Wrasse, you’d be struggling to find the micro fauna so easily 🙃
Those goniporas are looking fantastic. My waterbox is 15 days off a year old. For the first 4 months I kept the lights off and crammed it with copepods. Since then I have never had an algae issue, unlike my first tank.
That is the way to do it mate. I will use a similar approach with my next time. Patience and being meticulous is key in this hobby. What you can't see is more important than what you can see in a reef tank. Can't have enough copepods, I topped mine up yesterday with 4 bags. 2 in the display and 2 in the sump. My favourite at the moment are Goni's or the Sun Coral. Thank you for watching and commenting. Hope to see you in the next. 🙂
@@jaysrealreefuk You, successfullly keep Sun corals, thats bloomin good. I have just bought my second Trachyphyllia, they dont do much but are fantastically coloured and boy do they like feeding, his/her/its mouth is enormous. It could swallow itself if it coughed.
I do a 10, maximum 12 litre water change per week. But I've never missed one, except when I was away abroad once on holiday. Thank you for watching and commenting. Hope to see you in the next video.
Wow...that is super kind. Wasn't expecting that comment. 🙂. I do love these nano reefs. Hope your tank is all going well? Thank you for commenting and watching.
Very good question, perhaps should have mentioned that on the video 🤣🤣. For all 4 in this nano it was about 14 to 16 months. Some really well balanced healthy reefs may achieve this milestone at the year mark or so. Thank you for watching and commenting. Hope to see you in the next video. 🙂
Thank you so much mate. Such a kind person and loyal follower of the channel. Hope the Copperband is settling in well 🙏 Take care mate and see you on Friday evening.
Too kind 🙂. Thank you for letting me know that you enjoy the content. You can never have enough reefing content on YT for us all to watch. I watch hours of the stuff 😂. Hope your tank is going well? Hope to see you in the next one.
Firefish is such a beautiful fish and never any trouble. Perfect for any reef aquarium. Thanks for watching and commenting, it all helps the channel. How's your reef tank?
@@jaysrealreefuk Absolutely! The nitrites in my tank are still high so I am waiting and hoping it's going to come down soon, but I am taking it slow. Contemplating doing a water change soon.
Thank you my friend. You're right a bit more regular content is better for the channel. If there is anything in particular you would like me to cover, just let me know. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Hope to see you in the next one. 🙂
Beautiful little tank 😎👍

Looking awesome. Where do all the wee creatures come from ?
I guess they slowly came in on corals frags. They do a great job at feeding the fish over time 😂🤣
Jay if your coming over to Hornsea come and see me😊
Please do more videos even if they are shorter. A 10 minute video a week would be marvellous. You’re a great presenter with a beautiful reef tank!

Totally agree just blog style with no editing is the way to go and makes life easier for yourself. Great as always
Do you still like your XHO add on kit? What are the positive sand negatives?

Enjoyed the quick wee update. Happy to see more like this AND your longer more in depth ones👏

Awesome tank !!!! Everything is just thriving 🤩

Hi Jay, your reef is looking fantastic. I’m pleased that all 4 signs are present in my reef too, only set up for 8 months!
Wow, in 8 months...I congratulate you on your reefing skills. This truly is a fabulous hobby. Mine took at least 14 months to achieve all 4. Thanks for watching and commenting, it really does help my channel. Hope to see you in the next one 🙂
These videos are great,keep going i think you can get your channel bigger🎉
Hopefully we can grow the channel and community. That's the ambition. I really appreciate the kind words and the comment. Thank you.
Excellent tank mate. Looks to be about 2yrs. Old

May want to attack some of those Vermetidae snails

This is one of the nicest tanks on RUclips.
Wow...that is super kind. Wasn't expecting that comment. 🙂. I do love these nano reefs. Hope your tank is all going well? Thank you for commenting and watching.
How long did it take your tank to get to that point?
Very good question, perhaps should have mentioned that on the video 🤣🤣. For all 4 in this nano it was about 14 to 16 months. Some really well balanced healthy reefs may achieve this milestone at the year mark or so. Thank you for watching and commenting. Hope to see you in the next video. 🙂
Great to see all your videos Jay
