Cool video and gorgeous tanks! I've been doing freshwater for several years and dove into saltwater 5 months ago. My only regret is that I didn't get into saltwater sooner! I started out with softies, then LPS and recently got a few beginner SPS. I was surprised that I don't see any UV filters or protein skimmers yet your tanks look amazingly crystal clear and clean!
That’s so awesome to hear!! I’m glad you’re enjoying the dark side of the hobby ;) once you’ve got the itch it’s hard to turn away haha. But yes! No uv sterilizers or skimmers at the moment. I do want to get skimmers for the tanks tho
To be honest I don’t know my numbers! Very lazy I know 😭 but I will rest here soon. You’re probably right too, I don’t need to dose with frequent water changes haha
When testing the water what are the most important parameters to watch for soft coral? and how often would you do it? I am currently cycling a 6-gallon cube for fish and soft coral I have an API saltwater test kit do you think I need the API reef test kit as well? Great video btw
I do have both saltwater and reef API kits. However I have been slowly adding Hanna test kits to my collection. For softies I would test for alk. And also know your nitrates and phosphates as they feed off of those a little
BEAUTIFUL TANKSSSSSS
Thank you!! 🙌🏽
looks great. very clean
Thank you!!
Love your videos man I thought I was gonna keep the Fluval for a min but once I saw your 20 gallon innovative setup I had to pull the trigger !!
Heck yea man glad to hear! The Fluval 13.5 is a really great tank but the more space the better. Plus IM is a great brand!

Is buying pre mixed saltwater cheaper then just buying the salt and mixing it your self?
It is not but I haven’t found a place to hook up my ro unit yet :/
@@jdhaquatics6096 I’m going to look into getting an RO unit
I would assume you know that already beautiful aquarium by the way
Thank you!!
Off topic, what stands are you using on your tanks
They are imagitarium 40 gallon breeder stands :) you can usually get them from Petco
What lights you using?
have you looked into Reef moonshiner ?
I have not but I will!!
What salt do you use?
I buy saltwater from a local store but I should ask what he uses 😁
