Week 11: Nano Reef Tank - Magnifying What Is Otherwise Lost | 52SE

It's time for 52SE to go SMALL! Today, Ryan is showing off the 52SE nano reef tank. This 12-gallon Maxspect Dice all-in-one aquarium will be home to sea life that may otherwise be lost in larger saltwater aquarium systems. Want to know how the BRStv team will keep this "hard to keep" system going? You can check it out right here!

"I absolutely wish I had stumbled upon this video when I first started my journey into nano reef aquariums. Your guidance would have saved me so much trial and error! But better late than never, your content is now my go-to source for all things reef-related. Thank you for making it easier for newcomers like me to navigate this beautiful but intricate hobby."

I wanted to thank Ryan and the entire BRS team for all the knowledge and work for research. I have a fluval evo, its my first saltwater tank. I have been cycling the tank for 2 months. I had diatom bloom for the past 2-3 weeks but i added copepods from algaebarn and i was impressed of how fast the copepods made work of the diatoms. The Diatoms were on the rocks, sand, glass, etc., and towards the end of the 3rd week of there were no more diatoms. I still see plenty of copepods and i am feeding with oceanMagik. I got my first corals today. Thank you BRS.😊

6 months into my reef tank and this channel from the start has taught me everything I needed to know thanks guys!

My 25 gallon reef tank is genuinely one of the coolest things I've ever been able to do. I never would have set it up if good information wasn't so accessible. Thanks so much!

I've had a pico 4 gallon tank up since June, and things can go bad in the course of a couple of days if you aren't keeping up. I do daily maintenance and weekly water changes, but it's so easy in a 4 gallon, it never takes more than about 2 minutes unless I'm also cleaning the pump and filter chamber (i have two small bags of bio filtration in my filter box that need rinsed weekly to bi weekly), then it takes maybe 20. I keep it quite stocked between coral, invertebrates, and fish though, so it requires a lot of TLC

My 15g Fluval bow front has been a massively rewarding first step into the hobby. 1 year and still running smoothly. No skimmer, weekly 3 gallon water change/glass clean. Only regret would be the 'bow front' feature as it warps some photos but in person it slightly magnifies the sizes of the life within. I will upgrade to a 40 or 60 when I can afford it haha

[liampritchard]

Yeah I felt that when me and my wife had our first boy I was struggling with waterchanges every week but at the time you guys released a video on auto waterchanges saved my tank and give me more time with the family the only reason I’m still in reefing is thanks to brs and Neptune for making the equipment to be able to do the waterchanges

[brenninsreef]

This was a good idea for a tank. I look forward to seeing how it comes out

[J__P_O]

I am not sure why, but these recent ones are not showing up on youtube (stops at week 5). I had to click into the channel and to recent videos to find it after remembering you guys were doing this.

[nickclimer]

What connectors do they have on the DOS at 5:51? And what is the purpose?

[nowifi]

whats the minimum amount of gallons you would recommend for a dwarf lion fish?

[SniktBamfKapow]

Do you have a video on the auto top off setup for this?

[firebird]

If I ever get back into the reef hobby, I'm going back to a nano reef tank. My first reef was a 10 gal mixed reef that thrived for 4 years. Then I went to 75 for 10 years and it never came close to being as nice and easy as my 10 gal.

[matthewhayden]

I’m hoping to see an update of the chromis acropora reef soon

[wutsacomputer]

Can you show more of the AWC setup with the nano? I have one set up on my 24 gal but it looks like a science experiment.

[locksmith]

10:14 This would be really nice. Everything at a push of a button or flick of a switch

[noodles_GA]

I am glad that the whole stigma around nano tanks being more difficult than a larger tank is finally going away. It is not that difficult you just have to pay attention to your tank.

Algae scrubber!!! On a 15 gallon SPS tank I do no water change also I don't got sand

[timothyvandermeer]

Started this adventure in a red sea nano but i am struggling with Cyano. Im doeing a weekly 10% water change and i am testing nitrateand phosphate. What more can i do?

I run a innovative marine 14 pro 2 peninsula 2 clowns RBTA nems 1 yasha goby pistol shrimp pair and 1 giant turbo snail named Gary it's a pleasure to watch on my desk after a long day at work.✌️
