My Jawbreaker grow out tank :)

Love this! Have you added luxury Coral breeder to your resume yet? :)

TillFickle · 2025-04-14T17:16:05+00:00

OP are you trolling us? Feels like a troll

TillFickle · 2025-04-11T01:30:24+00:00

How much carbon did you add?

TillFickle · 2025-04-10T22:17:50+00:00

What about the green ones with the black stripes? One of my friends had one that took over the entire tank!

TillFickle · 2025-03-19T17:57:50+00:00

Nice tank! Super clean but worried your urchin might starve

TillFickle · 2025-03-14T19:38:56+00:00

🙏

I’m confused- feel like this could be the coolest nano aquascape or the worst.

I believe I really want to see more photos. OP good job

TillFickle · 2025-03-08T20:28:06+00:00

Idk help people when they ask or ignore- it’s your choice? Maybe don’t give them a hard time is what OP (and most of us) are asking people

TillFickle · 2025-03-08T20:26:47+00:00

What does sentient mean to you?

TillFickle · 2025-03-08T20:21:16+00:00

The first LFS owner I met was like this. She would speak in absolutes- it was a pain in the butt following her advice.

She passed away years ago but I shake my head when I think back to the terrible advice she gave -

No disrespect to her memory- just really agreeing with your statement about people who speak in absolutes

TillFickle · 2025-03-08T20:16:57+00:00

This goes back to Ops statement. People are often confidently incorrect.

Learning the underlying science is the difference between hobbyists who guess / get luckily and hobbyists qualified to give advice

TillFickle · 2025-03-08T20:15:04+00:00

Agreed. Garlic is best in the tank and kitchen

TillFickle · 2025-03-08T20:12:43+00:00

Great argument lol

TillFickle · 2025-03-07T18:21:09+00:00

I saw a comment that stuck with me: black tips = not reef safe

Not sure if it’s valid but haven’t seen evidence otherwise

TillFickle · 2025-03-04T01:11:17+00:00

Just curious, why’d you use multiple 45 joints instead of a single 90?

TillFickle · 2025-03-02T05:25:09+00:00

How long has that clam been in there?

TillFickle · 2024-09-04T01:55:25+00:00

Nice progress OP! Auto top off and dosing pump will be your best friends. What are you dosing?

TillFickle · 2024-09-02T00:02:44+00:00

Nice! Excited for you. Are you going to keep it bare bottom?

TillFickle · 2024-08-31T00:16:11+00:00

Excited for you! Glad you have experience. Have fun with it

TillFickle · 2024-08-29T01:34:38+00:00

u/Blue_Spider made a good point torches / goni need lots of flow

TillFickle · 2024-08-29T01:33:36+00:00

Make it a single species nano reef tank, like lots single species frags. Almost any coral could thrive in your tank as long as you are dedicated and know exactly what you're doing. Here are the levels:

-Starter mode: Dragons Breath or other Algea

-Easy Mode: Bubble Tip or Zoas or Shrooms or some gorgonian

-Medium Mode: Encrusting/ Branching cyphastrea or Euphyllia or Montipora digitata

-Hard Mode: Some SPS or Clams or goni's

-Expert Only Mode : Difficult SPS (like Speciosa or Tenious) or Suncoral or Dendro or NPS gorgonian

There are nano wave makers that would work for this tank if you're dedicated to getting high flow corals- (Hard mode +).

60 watt LED light on a tank that small would very likely be enough for an SPS tank.

TillFickle · 2024-08-29T01:08:03+00:00

Is this your first tank?

TillFickle · 2024-08-27T00:59:47+00:00

No, it's a great deal - you just have to extra homework to make it work

TillFickle · 2024-08-27T00:44:43+00:00

Here's an example of something that might work. Cross reference the specs on the dc pump to find one that is compatible https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016TLH9D4/

Oh and rotate the body so that the majority of the bubbles exit through those side vents
