I really appreciate the time you’re putting into these videos. Getting back into the hobby after 20years out. I cannot tell you how much it has changed.
Once again, great job Tidal Gardens ! In a sea of coral farmers (no pun intended) and You Tubers out there you are the most honest and best at giving good genuine knowledge that can be applied.
What dirty and lazy cunts would use a bare bottom tank? Defeats the purpose of challenging themselves. That's like playing basketball and learning how to shoot only 2pt jumpshots instead of 3s. lmfao
I just picked up 6 corals from your website... They are absolutely beautiful, good sized, and happy corals. I watch all your videos and was very impressed with your product, I know it takes a lot of work, " thank you".

great content thanks for sharing! i usually put the leptos and cyphstreas in less than ideally lit rock crevasses but never thought of the lepto floor, i might have to try this!
Appreciate the video!!! #1 If I had to choose just one video to watch on the list it would be yours hands down! Thanks for the time & effort that goes into educating & growing the coral world one tank @ a time.
I think the Setosa coral works very well on the bottom, both branching and encrusting, copes with decent flow and also grows fast and has great colour in low light.

I love leptoseris and cyphastrea - have several of each in my tanks. I think encrusting corals overall are underrated and I believe it’s because people automatically think, “How can I Frag that?” But they are fabulous when grown out over large areas such as bare tank bottoms. 👍🏻 I do have a reservation about GSP though - when it reaches rocks it will start to climb and then it’ll take over. That’s one of the reasons I no longer keep it, though I find it quite beautiful. Great video! 👍🏻👍🏻

I would give chalices an honorable mention. After the rock is in place theirs is definitely places you can put a happy chalice. The issue is it can become a bit of a mine field. Anything that falls down onto them is toast.

What about Trachys on the bottom? Some of the flesh seems to squish on the bottom. Long term implications? This is one reason im looking at adding my sand substrate again.
I love the look of sand but it becomes unpleasant when it starts to change colors underneath and a headache when it becomes unevenly distributed around the tank and blows around a bit. I prefer bare bottom. Dealing with the algae on the bottom is a con but I am considering having some coral grow on the bottom of it as discussed in the video.
Glued some GSP to a turbo snail over a year ago and it's still there and has grown some. The snail has even scraped right up against an exposed power head and the coral is still there. Wtf.
This is amazing... I am thinking of going half and half and want to put some encrusting on the bottom. I think Lepto is the purrrfect number 1. I thought for sure you would have some moon corals (I love them) and I think they can handle some pretty strong flow right? I also want to put deepwater montis like crazy-t (granted they are not beginner friendly) plus there are deeper water acros like Purple Dragon (Carduus?) that could replace the birdsnest Anyhow my top 5 would include the monti (I would get rid of the GSP which I'd only place on a rock in the sand - or (which would be a brilliant idea) on a space surrounded by sand (now I am considering doing that - I'd also replace Cyphastrea and put it on the back glass (maybe under a magnet rock shelf). I would replace it with maybe a stylocoenellia (again that's pretty advanced and they don't get big.
:) "the intensity is divided by the square of the distance" is true only for point like light sources. Reef lights are very much not 'point like' sources - especially LEDs
I cant agree with GSP on this list. As someone who first put it in my tank as a beginner 5 years later I had to redue my tank because it is so invasive and covered everything.
thanks Than. I recently went bare bottom and been looking forward to watching this video. also now that im bare bottom, I would love love to watch a vid on detritus clean up crew haha

WOW! 20 years I've been out of the hobby for about 3-4 and I see a huge difference. lol welcome back.
Some of those Lepros were 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Good video Than - appreciate all the options and the honorable mentions!
Thanks dude!
woohoo!!! New TG video!
I love the idea of leptosris over the glass, thank you for the insight
Any time!

I’m growing the green star polyps on the back wall like a carpet. They do love flow!

Doesn't take too long either. Leptoseris is fast growing on the glass.
Appreciate the video!!! #1

Great Vid. Thanks Than ! Love your new State of the Art coral farm ! What a Maverick ! Best one in the whole World ! WOW !
Thanks! Hope to reach some big milestones soon.

Bare bottom tanks of the world unite! Drop a like to support Tidal Gardens awesome content!
:)
Im thinking of going bare bottom since these dinos dont wanna leave my sandbed lol
You need to make more videos I'm loveing them
I agree. I am planning some things that may help publish videos more frequently.
@@tidalgardens thanks so much for the replay 🤣😂👍👊
Another awesome video
Nice video. I like encrusted coral on the barebottom aquarium awesome look..
Thank you for the ideas
Nice, thanks! What about Chalice corals and encrusting Montis?
I would give chalices an honorable mention. After the rock is in place theirs is definitely places you can put a happy chalice. The issue is it can become a bit of a mine field. Anything that falls down onto them is toast.

Love watching all your videos they are so informative and insightful! I'm learning by listening to your subscriptions 🤔💜✌🌿
100% agree about having corals encrusting on the bottom
Monti's could be an honorable-mention for shallower or higher-light setups.
Yes! Lots of light though.
Please do a spotlight on Carnation Coral care. There doesn’t seem to be much info about it on TH-cam.
Are there more videos of this guy's tank?
What about Trachys on the bottom? Some of the flesh seems to squish on the bottom. Long term implications? This is one reason im looking at adding my sand substrate again.
I would rather have a tank without rocks and corals than without sand. I think it's my favorite part of a tank.
I love the look of sand but it becomes unpleasant when it starts to change colors underneath and a headache when it becomes unevenly distributed around the tank and blows around a bit. I prefer bare bottom. Dealing with the algae on the bottom is a con but I am considering having some coral grow on the bottom of it as discussed in the video.
Merci pour ta vidéo !!! 👍👍👍
Love your hints and your videos Than! Too bad I live in Brazil to have one of your corals....
Can't buy, but you can definitely hang out online :)
This is exactly the kind of info I was looking for! All my rock is covered with coral but I want more! More! MORE!!!!!
Great video!!

Some tanks are super bright and can keep really nice Montipora at the bottom.
I really like rock anemones. Will they attach to a bare bottom tank?
I'd like to add pink star polyp in addition to GSP. PSP doesnt fluoresce like GSP but they make a nice contrast to one another
What are your thoughts about favia on bottom glass?
My GSP bottom of the tank one year a go but not spread at all but look very healthy
Please and one tell me why??
Thanks for the Video..
:) "the intensity is divided by the square of the distance" is true only for point like light sources. Reef lights are very much not 'point like' sources - especially LEDs
I have the 24k lepro will it grow good on the back glass also
24k is my fave
What about plate corals?
I cant agree with GSP on this list. As someone who first put it in my tank as a beginner 5 years later I had to redue my tank because it is so invasive and covered everything.
No green star polyps is a very bad choose they accumulate a lot of dirt also they will growth over stones and need to be trimmed regularly
thanks Than. I recently went bare bottom and been looking forward to watching this video. also now that im bare bottom, I would love love to watch a vid on detritus clean up crew haha
This was a video for meeeee sweet thanks loved it like all of them🤣😂😎👊
🔥👊👍
I need a second tank =)
Chalice bro! I mean come on #1. it just looks like melted ice cream pouring across the bottom of my tank.
Is it bias that I like your video before the add is even done?
:)
👍🏽
Coral 1:40 ???
I thought bird's nest could take a lot of light?!?
Some can sure.
Okay, thanks. Love your videos, so informative
minute 0:58 corals risk to fall
