- Reefing doesn't have to just be for people willing to spend lots of money. Some people don't have it. That doesn't mean you can enjoy some of the things in a reef thank that aren't crazy expensive. In this episode I show you some of my favorite things that didn't cost a lot of money.

I’m glad you made this video. A lot of other videos get me really discouraged that I’m gonna have remortgage my house in order to get a beautiful tank. Your videos give me confidence, please keep making them!
You can make reefing as hard as you want. I’ve done it all.
The hobby needs more of this! There seems to be so much pressure to drop thousands of dollars and tons of time to on having a pristine reef.
Ur totally right and it’s annoying honestly you see so many people online that must be rich because average everyday people like me do it over time on a budget.
EXACTLY
Dude sweet reef setup. Thank you for your transparency it’s truly a pleasure for other hobbyist to 👂 it. 😎👍
Gorgeous Reef. Everything is so big and healthy.Fun tank.Thank you
Loving these videos I’m hooked on your reef! Keep it up great job! Your style is more approachable for the average joe which I feel like a lot of people can relate to! Love it
im all for more chill reefing, but i think i almost died when you said you use tap water lol mind blown! lol
I have found that so many experienced reef keepers DO use tap water. If a reef keeper used "zero TSD" water you have the advantage of controlling where you start with dosing and what not and if chasing numbers is your game knock yourself out and if you start with zero nutrients in your water of course you will have to add to have any success. I am a saltwater hobbyist but because of this channel I am now a hat shaping enthusiast and a why is that tractor engine in that truck guy lol. fun Channel keep them coming @Btuff!
@@bryanhaen6750 yeah i mean i am open to listening to those who do things different than what is preached mainstream. I have a nano I am going without a skimmer with, and just a hang on back. Trying it because of someone else who went pretty simple on a nano and even ended up doing no water changes on it eventually.
@@sleepingstarasmr5557
My marine fish tank set up over 10 years ago.
No skimmer no fancy lights, no problem.

@@thepilgrim1581 that is super cool! I don't have a skimmer on mine, and my lights were cheap ones for sure lol
I'm new to reefs but I do use tap water for my freshwater 55gallon they work fine just treat for chlorine
Loving your tank and simple approach. It doesn’t work for everyone but everything looks awesome. Happy tanking
You need to do a dedicated reef channel. Your knowledge in reefing is truly amazing. Thanks again
No effs given, love it 😃
Keep em coming 👍
Great video man! I love your black & yellow clownfish, I think they look great! 😀👍
The soft corals look brilliant. I have a huge toadstool leather as well and it’s my favourite coral by far.
Cars and reefing all in one channel, just subscribed!
Hey man! I think that your tank looks very, very good & I absolutely love your clowns! I have never seen clowns this colour before & I think that they look awesome!! 😀👍
Love this video. just straight advice. cheers
I am totally on your side. My nano reef tank is definitely on the budget side and I like what I got going.
Im just starting my tank and your advice has really helped thanks!
Go to brs tv for advices.... youre gonna have a bad time if you folow his advices
Easily on my list of the top 3 greatest reefs on TH-cam!! This video is your best and I could watch it all fucking day, every day. Truly awesome!
wow, thanks
@@btuff 👍🏼👍🏼
Hi! I have just subscribed!your video has given me faith in the saltwater hobby! about 1 year ago, I got a Fluval m90& I really love it but after a while I realised it was using so much electicity so sadly I had to close it down & that really pissed me off because I absolutely love the saltwater hobby & the beautiful fish & creatures u can get!Because of watching your video this morning it has opened my eyes into doing things a lot cheaper so thank u so much my friend! 😀👍👍
@@OMEN101 So don't you get higher than normal electricity bills since u started running your tank?? 😀👍
Even though I consider myself a pretty hardcore reefer and only 1 year experience. I love your reefing videos because it makes you want to get into the Hobby!! All your other videos are awesome too!!
That’s cool. I had no idea I would be doing reef videos on btuff lol. People seem to dig it
I'm a new viewer and just subscribed👍. I'd be cool to see more content from you. Maybe a new budget tank set up. Maybe. I really like how you make your videos. Keep up the great work
Tanks-you made my day!
I use the noopsyche k7 pro2 LED lights and those too are a Chinese brand and I love these lights.
That's sick man, I wish I could thrown in tap water, you must live somewhere with amazing tap water haha
Love the tank will kill for some of those leathers lol. Best reef I've seen
I just got 1 of those like 2 weeks ago and it started eating my zoa's as soon as he went in the tank. Now he's with my 4 GSP and he's loving it there
Nice looking tank! Subbed
Reefbro is back!!
Just spent £400 English on 1 light then seen this video..you are killing me lol but I love it keep it going pal brilliant..Glen uk
my whole tank is probably going to be cheaper than your light lol
The perfect video for me!
Sick tank!!!
good info man
Whoaaaa your in Bakersfield? That’s cool man I’m in the Bay Area Vallejo area
Man I’m digging the content
I’m going to clean everything up down there. Maybe I’ll do a video.
puffers and triggers are both Tetraodontiformes, that's why your puffer reminds you of a trigger when it looks thin, they are basically like distant cousins.
This thing just kicks ass
I've also got a beautiful low maintance tank, I'm also using tap water and have never tested my water.
This tank is awesome.! Cheap & lazy reefer here! Haha i also never test my water.😂
Alot of people over think reefing best is just to sit back and watch
What are the blue and white light setting on? I have the same light and wonder what numbers ur channels are :) sick reef!
Seattle tap water is very soft with low tds, running it through a carbon block is fine for us.
KEEP THE KENYA TREES THEY ARE AWSOME!!
what size is your tank? (measurements) (love the feeling of how it looks with that hight)
My nano reef tanks been running 4 months now (no skimmer, no water changes, no filter, no ro water top ups, no water ager)
What settings do you run the lights at and what height as so much mixed info with very little pics to back it up
Could you do a video dedicated to your valentini puffer because I am considering one but im not sure about his dietary requirements
I'm collecting funny videos.
Hey! What is the big pink coral right behind the toadstool leathers?
Hi! I would remove those two giant Sarcophytons. Once removed you’ll have a ton of space where you can put new corals.
Why mess up a good thing
They are the centerpieces
What canopy are u using? And what are u using to have the lights hanging in the canopy?
I use tap with a conditioner and rodi water and everything in my tank is doing very well.
Puffers are the puppies of saltwater. Never had a valentini i had a green spotted puffer and he was actually good with 80 percent of my clean up crew. But had to keep his teeth down with fresh water snails.
Great tank! I dont live very far from Bakersfield, if you're selling frags I'd like to buy Japanese pink nephthea from you .
Hello I live in Bakersfield also have u ever drilled a tank if so any tips or tricks Im about to do this!!!
Is this a 140 gal? When I saw the support glass on top the your tank made it look like mine. I hate that piece of glass there. I have also two giant bright green long tentacles toad stools leathers corals. Don't know what generation these are.
Nice!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I mean glad things are working out for ya. I see plenty algae and I'd bet tap has something to do with it. But I have the sps and I know I wouldn't be able to keep em with tap. Well at least my tap at 400+ tds. But softies and few easy lps I guess whynot. Not personally for me tho. I'm no hater tho so in the end just want to see still looks pretty nice. Id work hard on that algae but just me. I have some bubble algae im dealing with myself so meh lol
Bruh you cut at least 100 frags off that leather😂
How much was this aquarium and do you remember where you got it?
Great Reef 🪸
live sand is almost plenty to cycle and seed your tanks!
What salt brand do you use and how good is it? Your tank really does look great
Reef Crystals. Thanks!
We need a reef update
Let them keep growing...
You don’t need RODI my tank is 1 1/2 year old and I use tap water I live in Cali just use prime you’ll save a ton of money my tank looks great I have lps sps anemone lights I have are from Amazon nicrew
Wattage is a measurement of energy consumed, not output.. FYI
what are these huge 'mushrooms' in the tank??
I love salt water tanks I had them so much rewarding
Once it set up it never change anything. God nature takes over
Do you have any problems with the puffer eating your shrimp, snails or hermits as this is normally on there menu?
I don’t have shrimp. No problem with snails
What is your monthly electricity bill ?
The reef is beautiful, however, your reef is made up of mostly soft corals, LPS, and very hardy Montis... nothing wrong with that, but you wouldn’t be able to grow sensitive acropora or other sps corals with the way you run this reef. Which isn’t a bad thing at all. It’s nice to see a successful low maintenance beautiful reef
I'm sure he's aware lol
Hello, been running sealab 28 blocks for about 5 months now works great. But just thought about magnesium. Do you add? What helps you keep that on point? Should I even worry about it?
You can add magnesium and your corals will love it
@@btuff do you add? I love your style and will love to do the same in my tank
Is that a Japanese pink nepthea?? People are always looking for frags of that they are pretty hard to find
I think it is.
Do your kenya tree and leather corals ever sting/hurt each other? It looks like they are touching.
Not soft corals. I'll clip a branch if it's really touching something.
Hey Billy, are you already connected to the Clubhouse App? I’d love to have you participate in some future Reef keeping discussions there. 🧜🏻♂️
I’ll check it out
VIPARSPECTRA lights are now $200 XP
What is a sealife 28? Love the tank!
Sealab 28. On Amazon
Oh yes I used to use it and love it. Thanks.
What kind of fish is Poppy?
you're using the 300w?
i can't find any info in which wattage is best i don't mind spending $200+ on each for the 900w that they have but idk how much better that is then the 300w
woaw no rodi water?
so you do waterchange with just tap water have you tried to see what your TDS is?
from what i've been researching rodi water is a must for corals
I’m using 3 x 165.
you didnt mentions what kind of fish he was?
Can we do a sump tour!
Yea, sump tour. Eff every body else. What works, what works!! I’m a rule bender and breaker!!!
@@shoja7264 no doubt
Have you priced toad 🐸 stools lately. they have gone up in price nine aquarium!!
I could turn the big one into 100 frags lol.
Sorry i might be too tired to understand but what 2 things do you leave to dissolve then replace them?
Just throw them in. When they've almost dissolved to nothing, throw two more in. based on 100 gal
@@btuff throw what!!?!?
@@OA1998. Sea Lab 28 blocks
I'm curious what the name of the fish you were talking about...
Saddleback puffer or valentini puffer
Do you know what all is in your tap? Mine isnt horrible where I live. Chlorine instead of chloromine and usually less than 5 ppm nitrate.
No idea.
@@btuff i think nitrates/ phosphates and minerals is the main thing people stress over. "Algea is bad m'kay" I keep planted freshwater tanks tho, with the right fish you will never see the unsightly stuff. Your corals and such probably actually appreciate the minerals and nitrogen in the tap as opposed to ro. Between that and your sealab tablets its obviously working great for you.
Waiting to get my sump plumbed for my first salt tank and I'm really liking the whole approach you have to it.
I may do a test someday
How much volume does your LR take up?
I have no idea. 15 gal?
A video for me! Lol
What is the purple fish with orange fins and blue tail
Tomini Tang or flame fin tang. He’s rad.
I'm broke and a cheapskate as well lol
My friends have the same led lights you have and been working for over 5 years. Kessil I’ve seen ppl after a year or 2 they take a crap and they are way expensive and the company don’t work with ppl. I personally use halides Hamilton 20k and fluorescent bulbs and love them and grow stuff like crazy. Oh the Kenya trees I put one in and ended up with over 50 of them growing cause of the halides I’m think. So I rip them out like weeds.
I wish my kenya tree was that puffy
They like heavy nutrient tanks.
how long does it take to grow toadstool to that size?
1.75 years
@@btuff thnks for the reply.
what size of your tank? i like it so much
100g
thank, can you tell me the long, hight, wide of your tank. 100g that you use so so much rock, amazing. and one more quetion don't you thing you need more flow because i saw 1 fan on right size.
100g. I've had really good success with low flow tanks. I had a frogspawn/hammer tank that was out of this world. 82 degrees and very low movement.
@@btuff incredible setup! can you tell me how long, wide, hight centimet of you tank?
Get that bubble agea. Off thatbpowerhead. Clean it. Bud...
hey i love ur low maintaince tank, i too have a tank but it s Nano, check it out if u can. love ur channel instant sub.
What's the fish that looks like a trigger?
Valentini puffer. That’s the fish Poppy.
Ok great thank you!
Please don't promote not testing your tank. It may work for you with soft corals and some lps. But for the new reefer ot is not gonna lead them down a path for success
I disagree. I have many planted tanks and a reef, and I don’t test for anything anymore. I think that too much testing can lead to chasing water parameters. Stability is king so if there is nothing actually going on, no need to test. When I doubt, water change.
It’s not for everyone, but I’ve duplicated this multiple times for a lot of years. If you start to see the corals or fish falling off, testing is in order with this style of reefing.
This tank is nice and it works for BTUFF but its also a mature tank. A new reefer who sets up a new tank with Tap water and does not test will have tons of algae and won't be in the hobby for long.
@@ReefingwithO If I had a gob of live rock, deep sand bed, once cured it would follow suit. I've done this multiple times. I'm not saying testing isn't warranted with new tanks, but they become self sufficient pretty quick with a DSB and ample live rock.
@@ReefingwithO I agree O. If it works for BTUFF that's great for him. I just don't want new reefers to think they can run a system like his and be successful without having the knowledge to know what they are doing. Not hating on you BTUFF at all. Just wanting to make sure newbies are successful is all.
Size?😊
100
Leave the softies... they are super cool
Al menos sabes el nombre del pez de 24 dólares? Por qué de reef la.verdsd que ni idea tenés. Tener 20 corales.balandos es.facil y barato. Pero bueno
I've stopped and let it grow out. I give hammers and gold torches away.
Thas awesome my tank could use some torch action.....
I wish I lived closer lol
Not testing water is not smart in my opinion, and i wouldn't advertize it.... and how much you save not testing your water? 20$ in 2 years.... thats not saving money thats just beeng lazy
