This video is absolutely perfect for beginners and for those who think reef aquariums have to be expensive spot on great information thanks for sharing and doing what you do for the hobby 👍🍻🇺🇸 your fan in New Orleans
I have a question.. are there any species of fish that are okay with loud music? I am wanting to put a tank in my studio but I don't want to stress out any fish/shrimp if I were to get any.. Great video! Thank you
Great video! You used off the shelf water to get started. How do you do water change though? Do you keep getting the same salt water off the shelf or is it possible to DIY from tap water?
I would advise to buy an oase biomaster thermo cannister filter.Heater is inside the cannister filter en you can fiil this filter full of bio media. Good foor beneficial bacteria to live. Als the filter has an easy to clean pre filter.
I have no dosing for my reef tank right now, just a bunch of good water from my LFS and a reef master test kit to check my params. All for reef seems expensive, but seems like the best first thing to buy, additive wise? I have reef roids only for feeding so far. 6 frags in a new tank (week old)
Hello, i wanna make my 1st saltwater tank , it will be 60L ( 60x30x30) , softs corals and gsp :D About the light, its Orphek or3 blue a good choise? Thanks, great vid
I don't want to put corals there I only wanted to put local fish that I can catch from where I live. I've seen other people doing it too so I've been inspired by them. Is that possible? If yes would I still need to put that pump you mentioned? And is it possible to house wild caught non tropical fish with other tropical fish that they sell in the stores?
1) check the bylaws where you live for keeping anything wildcaught. A lot of fish are protected by laws especially locale species and it can lead to fines or even jail time if you get noticed by whichever group is responsible for the fish & wildlife laws where you live. 2) a lot of wild fish have really nasty parasites and bacteria that could be harmful to you or other species of fish you introduce later but aren't necessarily harmful to the initial fish. Bacteria brought in from wildcaught fish could also grow quite rapidly in a contained environment. Same with any coral taken, or seaweed etc. 3) you still need the filters etc because all those do is mimic the natural environment. Without them most of your stuff would die pretty quick especially wildcaught. 4)wildcaught fish don't live nearly as long as captive bred and are much more sensitive to things in a captive setting. It would be far better to just research your local fish species that you want and source them from captive bred places. They will live longer and healthier lives plus you don't risk introducing something into your tank later that could wipe out all your hard work.
When I bought all included I aquarium, she told me - no tap water so I bought - osmosis - get live sand so I bought - get salt so I bought But no coral just wait for like 8 weeks so the aquarium is on the point But here you told me to put corals directly ??

You inspired me to continue on my dream of a saltwater aquarium. You made it so much easier to understand and very cost effective. Thank you
So great to hear! Wish you all the best for your project :D

So nice to hear, thank you so much and all the best from Germany to you! :D
I'm about to purchase a used saltwater tank tomorrow and need as much information as possible, this video was amazing!
So great, wish you all the best with your project!
perfect! i was thinking about what to do my empty aquarium and your video popped up.
Nice haha thats great to hear 😍👍🏻
I love how detailed you guys were it’s really helpful. Earned a new subscriber.
Thank you so much :D
The perfect video for me , I have only freshwater aquariums.
In future i want a saltwater tank 😉.
Oh Lorenzo really? I thought you also are already in the marine hobby hehe
@@seafriendlyreef I want set up an unique saltwater aquarium 😉.
When i will you will be one of the first to know 😉.
Nice setup
I plan to setup my 4ft tank soon
Hope to see more video 😊
Any advise on the wave maker for a 4ft x 2ft x2ft tank
Thank you for making these educational videos. They really help lots of people.
Thank you for that important feedback! 😍👍🏻
@@seafriendlyreef Your welcome :D
Bro one day I will get a custom one. You’re definitely inspiring me
Different sand choices could mess you up down the road. Which is the best sand in terms of granular size?

23C to 24C seems rather low to me, cheaper to run at those temps though, I ran 25-26C
Great video! You used off the shelf water to get started. How do you do water change though? Do you keep getting the same salt water off the shelf or is it possible to DIY from tap water?
You can mix your own saltwater but need to use distilled or RODI water not tap.
As a beginner what is probably better a 20 or 40 gallon
Wonderful

Can i run a 15 inch cube saltwater aquarium with HOB filter??

You shouldn’t need any additives or dosing on a new tank. Phytoplankton + copepods and fritz turbo is all you need really.
I didint have a diatom bloom for months too

About the light, its Orphek or3 blue a good choise?
Thanks, great vid
Thank you! I don’t have any experience with that brand I just have one tank with it here on the channel ;)
Is there a light I can wire into the mains so I can have the lights suspended from the Ceiling?
I loved this video, what kind of filter you used ?
You can put coral in right away.... Before it cycles... It too me a while to cycle it....
Can I make an aquarium for clownfish without anemones and corals,if I can,can I use a fresh water lamp,and do I still need flow
For the fish it would be better with corals and you always need flow in a saltwater tank
Ok,thanks,one more,do they still need air pomp,bubles from the bottom of the tank?

Dude amazing i found a 55 gallon reef aquarium for 40 dollars bro tap water is fine just used water conditioner prime its fine for me
What kind of jump start products you use to cycle aquarium since no live rock and no fish?
Live sand and if you want to you can add starter bacteria, also on the dead rocks are bacterias :)
I want one with a bobbit worm.
no link to the products used?
Once the tank is set up how do I manage my water parameters
Best way is ICP
You sure corals can be in a meditily becuse aren’t you spsoed to wait 3 weeks
How liters is aquarium?
150
