This single video got me into saltwater, about a year after I caught the coral bug 😁 Thanks for getting me into the hobby, it's been fun all the stuff Im learning along the way.
So glad I found this, as I plan to setup a 10 gallon reef tank, so it helps having someone walk you through the whole process. I am sure I will be referring back to this series many times over the next few months as I go about setting up my first nano reef tank.
The hobby needs more of this mentality. If you go on reefcentral or another forum and ask about a budget nano build everyone scares the crap out of you until you decide not to join the hobby. You do NOT need to spend $1,000+ just to start up an entry level nano reef tank!!!!!!!
Thank you for doing this! You inspired me to start my first tank...I think by doing this you are sure to open more minds to the possibilities of this rewarding hobby!
Thank you for your kind words Becky, I'm happy to hear that the videos played a small part in you joining the hobby! I hope others will find this video helpful as well
Wow nice beautiful tank.. i have saltwater reef tank , i think i can help you to setup your live rock , like my bonsai work zoa tree i have 12 gallon nano reef tank
These vids are so important in my opinion. Cost intimidation is what kept me from keeping a reef or any tank for the first 30 years of my life. Great vid!!
I did a 20g long. Found that the evaporation cosrantly threw off the salinity (about a gallon a week or 5% of the tank water) maybe lasted 6 months. After a couple months of keeping fish I tried cheap basic corals. And found I needed nutrient additives and between trying to maintain right calcium and right salinity.... I just gave up. Much harder than freshwater to maintain in my opinion and I really hated the salt crust build up at the water line.
@inappropriatereefer what did you ever do with the Aquaknight A029? Would you still recommend that light for say a Fluval Evo 13.5? Or in your opinion are there better choices now in that price range? I understand the hobby is an expensive one, but I would prefer to spend my money on nice LPS and Zoanthids.
You couldn't have posted this at a better time, man. Like most freshwater keepers, want to get into a reef tank, for corals alone (not that there isn't cool fish, but I can get that fix on my other tanks). Aaaand like most of us fresh water guys, i have a 10 gallon setting under my big tank doing nothing. Definitely following along for the journey, possibly getting mine going also. Thanks for the inspiration and knowledge my friend. 🍻👊
Thanks for your kind words man, especially coming from someone who's production value and content is so high! I do hope people would find this series useful as well
I follow a lot of saltwater folks but you are my favorite. You give a great presentation and just show a lot of things I like. Today I set up exactly the same setup you did for a nano tank at my office. Can’t wait to see how it goes!!!!?
Literally eighteen seconds into this video and I'm already subscribing and liking every video. Great job, keep up the incredible work! Your passion and dedication doesn't go unnoticed.
Thanks for showing that mistake. Just mentioning it wouldn’t of had as much of an impact as seeing does. Nothing worse than a leaking tank but glad it was before you had it established. Great vid!
Super excited about this whole series. Been wanting to get into the aquascaping world but definitely seemed way to expensive to venture into for a beginner. Thanks for giving me the first kind of foot into this imaginative world!
I am making a 10 gallon frag quarantine tank. I got this same light since it will support sps. I made a spacer for the light inorder to mount it. I cut some egg crate. I cut two pieces, I took a dremmel and gound the thickness of one piece down by half and glued it to a full piece that I cut to get the right thickness for the spacer to hold the light. I also took the bracket and cut 2 sections off inorder to bring the light center to the tank.
Inappropriate Reefer nothing to be embarrassed about. Looking back, it's like "duh that makes sense". I would not have thought about it in the moment. Build is going to be epic.
Awesome video man!! Very helpful for those crunched for money who want to get started in reefing without taking the chance on spending a lot and losing a lot due to inexperience!
The best budget tank is a second hand unwanted tank bought in summer, As this is a winter hobbies in the UK for most people. I got a 240L tank, stand, filter ,heaters x 2, sand, ornaments, fish, live plants, lid lights, air pump. Various accessories for £150 on Ebay. Keep your eye out!
I appreciate the full disclosure of that opps as well as the ideal. I haven't thought of a nano tank but with all of the information you are posted I am starting to think of creating a nano tank. Thanks for the information!
Thank you for making a series for beginners! Approximately a year ago I watched one of your videos, I was so inspired by your tanks that I decided to have one myself! To this day I have a thriving reef with softies, lps, and sps! Don’t forget the frogspawn 😜
I dont know for that piece of wood (I am a GM at a hardware store, used to own LFS) But it might. The biggest problem I see with tanks is usually from the cheapest addition-used to kill me to see people set up a 10k$ reef and go to home depot to save money on sand.
Good to know, better safe than sorry! When you say home depot sand, do you mean Southdown Playsand back in the days? Those were the go-tos before they got discontinued!
No this guy was using sandblasting silica. There are time tested things like dow flake that have had extensive testing by randy holmes farley and others that are safe-but many of the cost cutters people pull out of the air could benefit from deeper thought.
You are exactly right I have a 20 gallon left over from my freshwater with a fluval aquaclear 70 with heater the only thing I need is the light and some sand
Looking forward to this series. I had the same build, but I used a smaller hang on unit and the flow was intense! Interested to see how this comes along
Appreciate the video man! Currently have a 75 gal but am looking to down size as a I know I’ll need something more mobile the next couple years. Looking forward to modeling my next tank after this series.
My first nano tank was a 5 gallon with 1 clown fish (Clarke) and a Condy Anemone and some zoas. I used a hang on the back also with believe it or not a 60 W blue light bulb on a timer, it worked but a long time to get rid of the algae. I think the LED will work better. I had that clownfish for 6 years she was very large and aggressive when I got rid of her about 3 years ago.
Thank you so so much for doing this! Lot's of great info and very budget friendly! I'd love to be able to have some big tanks in the future, but I'm so happy nano tanks are something I can have now :D
Dude love the walk through on the equipment 4 the setup. I had the same thing happened to me 2 times, glass cracking. It sucks but as hobbyists we are 4 ever learning. Can’t wait to 👀the rest of the videos.
Nice video. You are definitaly one of the impulsive reef hobbyist. And while I like that about you. I would love to see you patienatly put all your time in one large tank. 😀
I like the idea of upping the filtration for water movement' I was planing on doing a 10 gallon myself I was kinda dreading getting another power head as I just got rid of one I had stupid me! Lol
I just bought a oceanic biocube 29 that's been running for 7 years with like 40-50 lbs of live rock and a while bunch of other goodies and a current light bar for $100 off Craigslist. I think it was a good deal but I'm new to saltwater tanks.
Victor Alanis I built it out of a 2.5 gallon tank, plexi glass, 1/2 inch tubing, and an old circulation pump. The thing that made me get rid of my sump is when the power went out the tubing, since it didn’t have a check valve or anything it kept siphoning water and it over flowed the sump. I wouldn’t recommend doing what I did. Go with a canister filter or hang on back or even a professional built sump rated for your tank.
#10gallonreefer !!!! First tank and still running after 8 months :) 1 Firefish blue leg hermits tons of zoas acros hammer gsp and I used mostly the same equipment as this build
CorruptLP. I am doing 50% water change every 10 days now instead 25% every 2 weeks. and 1 day black out every Monday mostly. That way I slow down progress on the algae, but I can’t eliminate completely.
Currently setting up my first marine tank, and it is a 10 gallon! #10gallonreefer ! It has taken me months to set up, but right now it is cycling. Thank you for fthis video and sharing your knowledge :).
Since it’s a 10 gallon it doesn’t need a huge amount of support and u could remove the rim with a razor blade and if your nervous u could add a small custom brace out of glass or acrylic glass would be better
Did sort of the same, I had problems with some dusty oily film on the surface so I switched to a powerfilter with surface skimming and it was solved... There is a video on my channel showing it...
LOL, I set 10 gallon tank about 170 $ budget two weeks ago😂 And I actually made a little skimmer (hidden from view almost). Actually it will be an sps system (I know I'm crazy). OMG, sorry for your tank... (That's why I bought a alta 20 light, it doesn't need that wood)
Dewd, you R are the coolest and I watch everything you show(teach) us. After you tank cracked because of the piece of wood expanding is something that would have happened to me too, I have the same light I'm going to set up on a 28g. I don't know if I could keep so cool though..thanks for the inspiration, Your subscriber 🐡
I started w a 5 gallon tank and I had that same light it was doing pretty good w zoas and other softies but I upgraded to a 20 long tank so I got me a bigger light
Love the video, very informative, BUT, background music too loud at times I couldn’t understand what you were saying but due to good content I’m subbing and liking!
I love seeing nano builds. And a budget one is all the better. I have a 75 gallon softy tank but am setting up a nano Lps Sps tank in my wife's office. Just have to say just because the tank is small that doesn't mean the price will be. I went with a IM 14g peninsula , running a AI prime Hd. I did have to upgrade the pump (stock one is so noise) to a sicce syncora 1.0. Just picked up a Smart ATO Micro try try to keep water levels stable. I do still need to get a wave pump of some kind (any recommendations?). Even with all the extras this tank has the cost is not with the setup it is with the livestock. You have some amazing tanks and a lot of useful information. Thanks.
That light! I just ordered one because it looks like awesome value for money! I don’t even have a tank to put it on! But sorry - Amazon.com wouldn’t let me ship it to my US address so I couldn’t use your link to buy it. Had to get it through amazon.ca. ☹️ I’m gonna LOVE this series! 👍🏻👍🏻
Planning on doing a nano, so I managed to come across a hagen HG fluval flex aquarium 9 gal for $50 which comes with everything including a heater. Only thing that needs to be upgraded is the lighting may get the hipagero and a small compact pump with a 300-400 GPU. That bring the budget nano to close to $135, the cost of the all in one tank, new lighting and a pump. What do you think?
Inappropriate Reefer I have a question I want to get a 30 gallon fish tank for my room and I was want a tank that is hexagon it a pentagon or something along that line any suggestions
I'm looking at starting the marine hobby, I'm a freshwater guy so I literally know nothing about marine tanks etc, I'm wondering if you can help? Do you think I could run a 15 gallon tank without a skimmer, UV sterraliser or a wavemaker, so just using a filter that can be used for marine, a heater and a marine light?
Inappropriate Reefer I'm starting my first reef tank! I got a custom 5ft by 18inch by 2 ft tank (500l) Im 15 and saved up ages lol. My filter is a 10thousand lph pond filter! Way overkill. For stocking I want to start with 2 maroon clowns and a dwarf bicolor anglerfish BTW this tank is going to be an indo-pacific biotope. Any suggestions on a cheap light? Mind I want corals and also anemone. Many thanks - Thomas from Scotland.

Well thank god I used a pvc block. But you put that fire out well and did not lose emotional control. Nice play Shakespeare.
More nano aquariums needed on RUclips!
I am making a 10 gallon frag quarantine tank. I got this same light since it will support sps. I made a spacer for the light inorder to mount it. I cut some egg crate.

I have done this before and it is very rewarding seeing the corals grow in there.
Great! I’m so overwhelmed but this has given me the confidence to start up
Got a 10 gallon AIO from EBay for $70 shipped. It’s made by Waterbox and is built very well. Can’t wait to set it up. It’s been sitting for months.
Can not believe what happened to the tank! Lol nuts. Looking forward to the tank build. Well done. Sally is strong! lol
I was a bit embarrassed and dreaded re-doing the build, but thankfully the new one was up and running in 3 days time! =b
Inappropriate Reefer nothing to be embarrassed about. Looking back, it's like "duh that makes sense". I would not have thought about it in the moment. Build is going to be epic.
@@InappropriateReefer could you not have just put the wood block on the outside of the tank?
Awesome video man!! Very helpful for those crunched for money who want to get started in reefing without taking the chance on spending a lot and losing a lot due to inexperience!
I laughed at the turtle comment. That's EXACTLY how I got my ten gallon! ...thank's Brian (sorry Blastoise R.I.P.)!
Can't wait for the next video!!!
I like budget setups👍
I have the same exact setup I just started. I trimmed the edge Of The tank to fit the hipargero light. No cracks and works great! Awesome video!

Don’t forget the frogspawn 😜
I love when people say its pricy but once you get it going. The frags of the coral you grow will help you along the way
as soon as I saw wood- i said "uh oh" Not just the swelling-but the release of chemicals used in drying.
Did not know they use chemical during the drying process, thank you for the heads up! 😱 Constantly learning
I dont know for that piece of wood (I am a GM at a hardware store, used to own LFS) But it might. The biggest problem I see with tanks is usually from the cheapest addition-used to kill me to see people set up a 10k$ reef and go to home depot to save money on sand.

I set one up yesterday to go in my bedroom, also used the aquaknight light
My first aquarium was like that but using the sun light because I had no money. I am moved to remember those days.
It’s lighting my tank now ! 💪🏽
It’s a Nuvo 10 fusion.

This is basically my nano reef lol just add a 2.5 gallon sump and thats my tank :p great video as always!
Cmharper 50 how did you add the 2.5 sump

I used some egg crate/light diffuser to act as filler for my light mount.
Great video! I want to start a saltwater tank & I thought it would be a lot more expensive!! 😁
BTW, when I talk to you about turning my 10g into a small reef, I was going to de-rim mine.
#10gallonreefer !!!! First tank and still running after 8 months :) 1 Firefish blue leg hermits tons of zoas acros hammer gsp and I used mostly the same equipment as this build
Awesome to hear man! Question, are you using a meshtop on the tank for your Firefish? Or no issue with jumping? *knock on wood*
CorruptLP. Hey pal, I have same set up, with little variant. But I have issue with black algae. What do you use on the filter to help that?
Inappropriate Reefer lol he has never jumped but I do have a cover ad lots of flow. That knock on wood better have worked
Cuz I love FishTanks what’s up! I have the same issue ugh I lowered my photo period but it didn’t help much
CorruptLP. I am doing 50% water change every 10 days now instead 25% every 2 weeks. and 1 day black out every Monday mostly. That way I slow down progress on the algae, but I can’t eliminate completely.
Awesome vid thank you...Release part 2!! Please
Cool build

Love this build. I’m thinking about a 29 gal budget build tbh.
Since it’s a 10 gallon it doesn’t need a huge amount of support and u could remove the rim with a razor blade and if your nervous u could add a small custom brace out of glass or acrylic glass would be better
Did sort of the same, I had problems with some dusty oily film on the surface so I switched to a powerfilter with surface skimming and it was solved... There is a video on my channel showing it...
Great series
I recently just set up a 10g reef tank for my desk at work . Only using a Aquaclear 40 , but interested in seeing the Hob.mod that you did to the 70.
Same I'm temporarily using a 110 as a refugium on my 75
Crazy how the tank broke!
You could 3d print a mount to set the light clamp back behind the rim of the glass as far as you need :)
LOL, I set 10 gallon tank about 170 $ budget two weeks ago😂 And I actually made a little skimmer (hidden from view almost). Actually it will be an sps system (I know I'm crazy).
OMG, sorry for your tank... (That's why I bought a alta 20 light, it doesn't need that wood)
Like these kind of videos bro!
#10gallonreefer youre the first to do this. Looking forward to the build
Mass aquariums did this years ago
Dewd, you R are the coolest and I watch everything you show(teach) us. After you tank cracked because of the piece of wood expanding is something that would have happened to me too, I have the same light I'm going to set up on a 28g. I don't know if I could keep so cool though..thanks for the inspiration,
Your subscriber 🐡
You can get a fluval evo for like 90 or 160 depending on size...
I just cut the black trim in that section never had a problem with it
AC110 on my 10gallon Aqueon and it does all the flow for a reef tank.
im going to try two of them lights looks good to me
Subbed. Looking forward for the series
Great Video! Thanks for sharing :)
Nice tutorial, now for the next one need to show equipment water quality and what it need to used to have corals everyday used pleaseeeee
I started w a 5 gallon tank and I had that same light it was doing pretty good w zoas and other softies but I upgraded to a 20 long tank so I got me a bigger light
Waiting for part 2
Great video !

as always, great video! this will be an awesome resource for new reefers. i wish this was around when i started! #reefsquad
I love seeing nano builds. And a budget one is all the better. I have a 75 gallon softy tank but am setting up a nano Lps Sps tank in my wife's office. Just have to say just because the tank is small that doesn't mean the price will be. I went with a IM 14g peninsula , running a AI prime Hd.

You have some amazing tanks and a lot of useful information. Thanks.
I modded my hipargero 30w led by just not using the extension that the cane with. Just put the light on the base.
That light! I just ordered one because it looks like awesome value for money! I don’t even have a tank to put it on! But sorry - Amazon.com wouldn’t let me ship it to my US address so I couldn’t use your link to buy it. Had to get it through amazon.ca. ☹️ I’m gonna LOVE this series! 👍🏻👍🏻

A bigger all in one is down to about 160, right?
No Protein skimmer，No Wave maker pump,
No Titration pump.The easy way to enjoy reef life.

@@jhaychno skimmer&UV sterraliser is ok.
@@nanoreefchannel7240 what about wave maker? Thank you by the way.
@@jhaych If you don't use wavemaker, you need to arrange the water according to your tank

If you touch both buttons at the same time it turns off the light. I have 2 of them on my Fluval Evo 13.5 I also have the stock light
