CoralFish12g right here but I am a freshman in highschool. Love your channel. I currently have a 10g but now I’m setting up a 40b with a 20l sump and turning the 10g into a display fuge. also first like!
Currently a college student with a 72 mixed reef! Engineering and free time don't go together at all 😅(funny part is I'm studying to become a mech engineer for aquarium design groups)
Hey George, I think you got a bit of a hair algae issue going on... lol, just teasing, college is the best time to experiment and go crazy. I think it's cool how all your frat brothers are chill with the tank and even help with filming. Good people.
Great editing George plus you go to college play ball and still manage to maintain your reef tank in the dorm much respect to you man oh yea killer dorm reef tank
While I only keep freshwater, I have tanks both at home and in my dorm (I am from Wisconsin too, haha.) and I just move the fish between the dorm and my house instead of the whole set up! My freshman year was a nightmare trying to transport two 20-gallons, two 10-gallons, and a bunch of nano tanks! But, I suppose we all get smarter as we get older (I'm almost done with my third year) haha.
I'm not in college but when I was in high school I had a reef tank I was in Auto class so much that there was so many batteries that people were throwing away that I use the hot to run it LOL it was less than 3 gallons the only problem was once the principal found it kind of had to shut it down apparently 3 gallons of water wasn't supposed to on the top shelf of my locker with two car batteries powering Lighting in flow
This video was super informative. Just setup my first saltwater in my dorm room and am getting my fish tomorrow. Plan to transport and keep the fish in a five gallon bucket over breaks. What do you think about this?
I have some fish tanks, but when I’m with my sister at the fish store I tell her to call them Nemo and Dory, then I tell her they are called blue tang & Clownfish. (P.S she’s 5) ~
Adventures In Aquariums i may have turned off the filteration and lights and through a patterned blancket over it they sed nothing during room inspections
Hey George, I´m from Brazil and just started to follow your channel. I´m about to have a nano reef as yours and your tips are being really helpful to me. Thanks to share, and congratulations for the videos.
12g, you should check out Blue Line Corals in Chicago they where based in Houston but after Harvey they decided to move to Chicago. They have amazing stuff any very experienced reefers.
Nice tank. I am currently setting a 10g tank up and was wondering how you run your MP10? I noticed you have it set to SPM but how much power do you use? Do you use night mode? Thanks.
Does your Miami whites bite you when you put your hands in the tank? My Wyoming white bites the crap out of me if I just put a finger in the tank. Thanks for all your help. I didn’t know there where trace elements in my salt mix. Makes sense. I’m not dosing either. I’m about to do a water change right now! Good luck with school man
Hi George! My hubby and I are obsessed with you since buying our 35G reef tank. We've had the tank for about 6 months and it's going great but the only issue we have is drops in PH, sometimes down to 7.2 ?! We shop buy our water. How do you maintain/fix your PH? Nat and Adam from the UK X
Got an 15 galoon tank full set up and spend just about 40 - 50 dollars. Everything was new!! not like from second hand you know And yea! by the way really like your videos big like and wish you will continue with this awesome videos 😊
I'm new to saltwater I am currently cycling a fluval Evo 13.5 hopefully I can do it all ...if so I'm upgrading to a bigger one ... 🤞 ....I bred ball pythons successfully with research..... I think I got this hopefully......fish I think is easy ....never had corals
Hi G, I hope you are doing well, I have a few questions about that tank, my son is 8 years old and he love fish and animals and we are both interested on a reef tank like that one, Do you have an estimate how much water is going to the baffle, what is the GPH for the return pum, and what is the GPH on your powerhead ? Thank you for your videos, I have learned a lot and you are helping with my research before I get a tank.
If it's clear, probably just put it through a micron sock. If it's a little murky, use the micron sock and use chlorine for a few weeks before testing to make sure it's at 0 before you put in your tank.
Hi George, awesome video. I just wanna know sometimes your light looks a lot blue and sometimes it looks white and more natural can your tank survive on the white light all the time?
I always admired reef tanks but was way too intimidated to get involved until landing on your channel. I have a 12.5G (20x12x12) glass tank in my basement my dad used to use for freshwater. We haven't used it in years but if it's still watertight, is that big enough for a true beginner or would you recommend something bigger? Also, what would be completely necessary in terms of equipment and what are some good brands to look into? Thanks so much!
I use Fritz water as well as that what my lfs has and i know its good so I keep buy it from her. My 10 gallon just cycled and i have one clown fish. I have the lights out. when can I add a few corals? I will start with softies, but when I go up to lps will I have to dose? I just saw a kit to day, a beginner reef by kent and almost bought it. It seems to easy if I don't have to add anything..lol I am not sure if you have lps so maybe thats why you dont. I have no skimmer so I am guessing scraping walls, vacummin water change, top off water and testing once a week is all then. Am I right? Do u have a cleanup crew? I took ur recommendations and have 2 nassarius babys and 2 astrea, thinking of a hermit, also another clown and cleaner shrimp. Hope that isnt to much of a load!
Are you using a ATO unit and what kind? How do you set it? Which camber? Do you have a video on it already? Sorry for all the questions I have a nano tank also 14 biocube and wanted to put an ATO in it.
Do you copepods and phytoplankton directly in tank? I just stoped video and saw you have a duncan and maybe acan and stoly, so i see you do have some lps. I heard you had to dose them. Is it because of the photo plankton and copepods. Is that why you dont dose? I am trying to figure out how to maintains this 10 gallon. I just have salt, but it is the fritz!
Hey! I absolutely love your channel. I know you probably dont want to spend an hour reading a paragraph so let me get to the point. I have NEVER had a fish or any aquatic animal. Can you make a list of any fish that you think will be just right for beginners like me? Thanks!
hey George, I'm from India and you have seriously inspired me to keep reef tank just like yours but I live in a city where there is not even one marine aquarium store and I cant even find an all in one nano tank online and I'm kinda on a budget. if you could help me it would be great. thanks
Did you say my hometown’s (Miami) clown fish? Didn’t know that was a legit name lol that’s cool might look into them!! Also, as long as you continue paying your tuition and don’t create a water disaster in your dorm, your univ should be okay with it lmao
If I was to just do mushrooms and zoas do you think that would be cheaper for the price I really like those corals and would love to do my first tank with them
Im in the process of finishing up my 125g now c: I just need better lighting and a better filter so i don't have to do so many water changes. My parents give me shit for having such a big tank in college cx
Does anyone have any good tank recommendations? I’m looking to start my first all in one tank, complete beginner, will house only 2clownfish so I’m co fused with the size. A lot of sites say get 20 gallons

Hey george, your first college reef video was what inspired me to start my own college reef. Thanks for all the inspiration!

I am ten years old and have 54 saltwater tanks with many different types of clownfish thanks to you you inspired me so much

Hey George, you are such an inspiration. I have been in the hobby since I was five years old and now I’m going to college next year.
Thank you Vincent! I'm sure you'll be a great college reefer!

That was soo cool, watching your fish practically eat out of your hands !
5:59-6:28 I wanted to die because of how relatable that is. Particularly the part about calling clownfish nemos.
'Hotter grades mean hotter wife" remember, you need to 'bring it' too!lol...Great Nano, headed to the tank page rght after watching this.TFS
why are all the guys commenting about his mustache,
I say keep it ❤️!!!
This video was super informative. Just setup my first saltwater in my dorm room and am getting my fish tomorrow. Plan to transport and keep the fish in a five gallon bucket over breaks. What do you think about this?
That's what I do! As long as they aren't in there too long!
Great job as always George. Keep it up.Good luck in b-ball.
*MY BIGGEST PET PEVE EVER IS WHEN SOMONE CALLS A CLOWNFISH NEMO OR A BLUE TANG DORY*
Aqua King I was at reefapalooza and my mom was like NEMOS and I just... 😐
Aqua King I call them nemo or nemers but I don't call blue hippo tangs
😴 sameee
My sister does that alllll the time
I have some fish tanks, but when I’m with my sister at the fish store I tell her to call them Nemo and Dory, then I tell her they are called blue tang & Clownfish. (P.S she’s 5) ~

Dude...your AWESOME!!! Great video!

Haha the 50 feet from school thing was hillarious! Once again great video, and your almost a all out grown up! or NBA player :-)
Hey George! I love that stand you use to hold your corals in your tank. Very nice display stand. Did you make it? Or where can I get one? Thx!
Omg bro I been watching your videos like crazy N didn't even realize that I'm in green bay an u were in Appleton your great my man!!!!!
Also video idea. How to camouflage a tank when your college doesn’t allow tanks.
Adventures In Aquariums i may have turned off the filteration and lights and through a patterned blancket over it they sed nothing during room inspections
You are literally my go to when I wanna try something new with fish. Like I look up you before I look up on TH-cam search bar
Finally a new video

Hey George,
After watching your videos I really now want to set my own reef tank up!
Thankyou for the inspiration✨🇷🇺
But respect for what he does
Enjoy your videos. I left my tank back home when I was in college. Sighs. Good luck with the basketball team.
Nooooo! Not a pornstache!!!
Damn 3 years later
I literally live 3 blocks away from Lawrence lol. I go to D2, Wooden Nickel, and The Bar quite often. Mr. Taco the best place for eating

Whenever people just assume things about my tanks I literally can’t!!!

Hi G, I hope you are doing well, I have a few questions about that tank, my son is 8 years old and he love fish and animals and we are both interested on a reef tank like that one, Do you have an estimate how much water is going to the baffle, what is the GPH for the return pum, and what is the GPH on your powerhead ? Thank you for your videos, I have learned a lot and you are helping with my research before I get a tank.
Where do you get your supplies for your tank? Is a local aquarium store close to your college?
I have a question. *do you know what would happen if you used the water from the ocean for your saltwater tank?* it's probably not a good idea tho.
If it's clear, probably just put it through a micron sock. If it's a little murky, use the micron sock and use chlorine for a few weeks before testing to make sure it's at 0 before you put in your tank.
Hi, your videos are amazing. I am a beginner with reef tanks and i was wondering how many gallon should i have for a couple of clownfish ?
Hi George, awesome video. I just wanna know sometimes your light looks a lot blue and sometimes it looks white and more natural can your tank survive on the white light all the time?
All white light at a low intensity is honestly best for them. The blue light is just to make them look cool!
CoralFish12g ok thanks
There’s a caterpillar on your upper lip
Hi lovely tank and clown fish corol also looks great.
I always admired reef tanks but was way too intimidated to get involved until landing on your channel.
I have a 12.5G (20x12x12) glass tank in my basement my dad used to use for freshwater. We haven't used it in years but if it's still watertight, is that big enough for a true beginner or would you recommend something bigger?
Also, what would be completely necessary in terms of equipment and what are some good brands to look into?
Thanks so much!
I use Fritz water as well as that what my lfs has and i know its good so I keep buy it from her. My 10 gallon just cycled and i have one clown fish. I have the lights out. when can I add a few corals? I will start with softies, but when I go up to lps will I have to dose? I just saw a kit to day, a beginner reef by kent and almost bought it. It seems to easy if I don't have to add anything..lol I am not sure if you have lps so maybe thats why you dont. I have no skimmer so I am guessing scraping walls, vacummin water change, top off water and testing once a week is all then. Am I right? Do u have a cleanup crew? I took ur recommendations and have 2 nassarius babys and 2 astrea, thinking of a hermit, also another clown and cleaner shrimp. Hope that isnt to much of a load!
Is that a bristle worm on your upper lip? 😂🤣
Can you do a video explaining the filter in the back of the tank and how to start one
Sweet vid. Will turbo start 900 kill my hermit crabs and snails I put in the tank?
Are you using a ATO unit and what kind?
How do you set it? Which camber?
Do you have a video on it already?
Sorry for all the questions I have a nano tank also 14 biocube and wanted to put an ATO in it.
Yes, I still have this in the last chamber: th-cam.com/video/rSn15EOUOaA/w-d-xo.html
Excellent work
very cool video i find it very helpful
What is the total turnover rate of your tank? How many gallons per hour are the return pump and powerhead individually?
my faivorite fish at ur channel are miami white clownfish
i've always worried about having parties because my fish are my babies. No vodka in my fish tank please lol
Do you copepods and phytoplankton directly in tank? I just stoped video and saw you have a duncan and maybe acan and stoly, so i see you do have some lps. I heard you had to dose them. Is it because of the photo plankton and copepods. Is that why you dont dose? I am trying to figure out how to maintains this 10 gallon. I just have salt, but it is the fritz!
Man great edits. Lol

Hey! I absolutely love your channel. I know you probably dont want to spend an hour reading a paragraph so let me get to the point. I have NEVER had a fish or any aquatic animal. Can you make a list of any fish that you think will be just right for beginners like me? Thanks!

George, you don’t have a Mandarin so wondering why you add copepods?
hey George, I'm from India and you have seriously inspired me to keep reef tank just like yours but I live in a city where there is not even one marine aquarium store and I cant even find an all in one nano tank online and I'm kinda on a budget. if you could help me it would be great. thanks
MY QUESTION WAS ANSWERED
Wait , wait you call that sweet stach stupid while sporting that hair style. FOFL u so funny.
Bro!!! you need more Videos.......Your supply website stopped stocking on things .......
A beautiful reef!
If someone puked in my tank, oh man that would be the last thing they ever do.lol
Did you say my hometown’s (Miami) clown fish? Didn’t know that was a legit name lol that’s cool might look into them!! Also, as long as you continue paying your tuition and don’t create a water disaster in your dorm, your univ should be okay with it lmao
Important question❗️❗️❗️ do this work also for Fresh water fish?? Or only salt water? I want one sooo bad but I own a Betta fish
Jorge: hi mom
Mom: am I a joke to you
hey do you clean the filter ,if yes how often and how?
I very rarely clean the filter, because I don't want to disrupt all the beneficial bacteria.
Gods amazing creation🐠
If I was to just do mushrooms and zoas do you think that would be cheaper for the price I really like those corals and would love to do my first tank with them
Watching this in 2022, bring the stash back.!
Lol “you can’t guard me”
My biggest question is where did you get your fan??
“They said u said .....” lol
I really wish you would write a book for beginners :)
Hi George
Brandon here I jave a 7 gallon nano tank and I cant deside what rocks to use or coral to buy. Do you have any suggestions?
Do you keep a quarantine tank at college? I've only a 10g display tank and it's been pretty limiting... Thanks!
No, I don't. If you can squeeze one in, do it! I wish I could too, it would make things so much easier!
What are you going to college for?
Which air pump do you use for the reef glass skimmer?
If your tank is clean.... Keep it that way
That's what you should've said
Can you show us how to mix salt
What is the difference between the turbo start and bio-spira from instant ocean??
How do you manage fish tanks and collage?
Im in the process of finishing up my 125g now c: I just need better lighting and a better filter so i don't have to do so many water changes. My parents give me shit for having such a big tank in college cx
"They hate us cuz they ain't us" -Dave Skylark
Does anyone have any good tank recommendations? I’m looking to start my first all in one tank, complete beginner, will house only 2clownfish so I’m co fused with the size. A lot of sites say get 20 gallons
Are you studying a major related to corals/saltwater?
Though its kinda unlikely, since WI is land locked.
No :/ Economics & Entrepreneurship
That's what I studied too. Though in 1st year, I did physics and chemistry, but no bio.
Comments:
99% people’s who hate his stash
1% people who are genuinely interested in the aquarium hobby
Question I'm setting up a 29 gallon BioCube is it better to keep the original lighting or is it better to upgrade to LED's
For low to mid light corals like zoas the stock lighting is fine.
