I'm going to be setting up a tank just like this. I love soft corals and macros, and I love whiter light. So you're not alone!

agree the natural look is nice, its how i remember reef tanks growing up under halides and how they look while diving over shallow reefs or lagoons.

Yes sir! I also remember the tanks being more white back then. Certain corals like Tubs Blue Zoa looked amazing under those spectrum. I was surprised by how brown the natural reef looks (I dove at mostly soft coral sites though, only been to 2-3 spots that was SPS dominant). Makes me feel like I should bring along a blue light the next time I dive. 😂

I love that little tank! It looks great who cares what the price tag of the corals is! I think it's dope and I love the updates bro.

@@InappropriateReefer That’s awesome! Thanks for the tip. We shop at the same stores as you, but we don’t see many soft corals for sale.

Love this tank

maybe you should do two videos every week, 1 for the little tank, and 1 for the big tank! we want more! =)

I have a 10 gallon AIO with two rainbow bubble tips, a mushroom leather, a small neon green finger leather, and a few bright, neon pink mushrooms. I haven’t done a water change in a few months at this point and it looks great. Don’t even need to clean the glass, because the copepods, snails and tuxedo urchin do that for me. Softies are definitely my speed for saltwater tanks, the stony corals are nice but I got so bored of trying to keep on top of alkalinity and magnesium and calcium etc. Softies just don’t care and thrive when left alone👍

My Remy weeping willow has also been closed lately. Thinking it might be in to much flow! Going to add it to my 20 peninsula and see how it does there.

Love having 2 tanks for that reason. Most of our corals love our big tank but some (acans and candy canes) dont so we put them in our small tank and they love it.

Amazing tank! I'm gonna try to make something similar

Also, if you get a damsel, the yellow tail blue damsel are cool! They've got unique patterning and are sooo bright!

I would definitely move the weeping willing toadstool. I know remmy keeps his in a decent amount of flow

Cardinal is such a cool fish

I'm with you 100% on the whiter spectrum with softy/macroalgea tank, ive recently adjust my lighting to be warmer white on my softy/macroalgea seahorse tank. Really brought out the colours in everything especially the seahorses

I had a yellow tail damsel. May be my favorite fish still. I had a clown and a yellowtail damsel in a 15-20 gallon nano. Best of friends, perfect fish load. Ate everything.

Nice video, thanks for taking us on the tank update. I am wondering if it's a good idea to grab the mangrove shoots and stick them in the refugium of the bigger tank to absorb nutrients from the tank?

have you seen the sunshine chromis damsels? incredible color! the tank looks so good!

Great update

I’d like to see a detail video on what and how much you dose this tank with. Review how you take care of it. I have a nano tank 15G and still new. Thanks

I also love damsels. If I didn't already have a pair of clowns in my nano, I'd probably go with damsels

This has to be my in my favorite tanks on KZread, I’m curious to know if you use protein skimmer in this tank or just the filter !

The leather is called "Pink pulsing leather'.

Was that $150 budget build series you did I can’t remember but wow it looks great

What powerhead is that in the back of the tank aimed at the finger leather?

I started, and failed a 10g about 6 months ago, I am approaching a year of research, I think by the end of the year I could finally start a successful tank

Sorry man, were you able to learn something from what happened? All my tanks go through a few rough spots initially, but if we ride it out until they get to the 1 - 1.5 years mark, things usually turn the corner and for the most part smooth sailing.

Protein skimmer are no good for soft corals? My gsp coral doesn’t want to open up after I installed a protein skimmer on my 40 breeder

Wow how do you keep the Xenia from completely taking over? I’ve heard it can go crazy

I know this video is a year old but I have to ask, what lighting is it you were using to grow the caulerpa prolifera? Is it 12000K reef lighting? I want to put that macro algae in my tank, but I'm wondering if my Kessil a160we tuna blue will grow it, or do I need to supplement it with a light that's suited for plants like 6500K. I'm asking because I read macro algae prefers lighting that's the spectrum plants like, yet it seems you have it growing under reef lighting.

How did u make your corals grow faster please reply thanks

Is that the XAqua InOut overflow?

What brand is the grow light?

Siphon from shot glass with feeder tube. Stick tube in and slowly release food. The whole reef will come out at once

This mangrove tank is becoming a hospital for corals that don’t do well in the 135 😂

Hahaha, ironic as the 135g is the tank with all the fancy techs running it. One thing the Mangrove tank has over the 135g is time, this little tank has about half a year more time to mature and build up a strong bacteria colony that'd help buffer any silly mistakes that I make.

Don’t forget that banana there, near the start of the video. Looks hidden. :-) great content. Thank you.

Wondering why the pink nepthea is not more common. I would love one but not paying a hundred bucks plus shipping . Anyone selling one let me know. Thanks. Love your videos

What happened to the Red Grape macro algae? Did it die off too? It's probably the mangrove that's competing the macro algae more than thr corals.

I have a tiny bunch of it at back corner, I see some new growth but it is very, very slow. Thanks for the reminder, I probably should bring it out from the shade into the light to give it a better chance... (and you may be right about the Mangrove competing w/ the macros)

How hard is reefing for beginners, and is a nano tank a good choice to start with???

Do enough research it will never be hard . Nano tank is every beginner start with . But others says bigger tank is more stable then nano tank . I started around oct last year . Just u need do proper research before starting one . Everything is good to go .

It’s amazing how small they sell coral today. Frags are a joke and they get away with it. 20 years ago we would get full corals for those prices.

I Don't know I heard they grow better in a brackish tank ! I Don't know if it's true though. Maybe some one here knows ?

You gonna try to get mango's from the tree???. Or try brackish water

I forgot to tell you I have an extra orange ricordia Florida for you (you mentioned in a previous video you wanted one). Let me know if you want me to ship it to you! Thanks for all the awesome videos :)
