Not too many run saltwater on canister. Thanks for showing yours.

[@kelliann1935]

Love these videos super helpful and much appreciated. My boyfriend and I are going to be investing into a saltwater tank. Making a fish wish list and reading lots of books and watching videos like these make it so much easier. Thank you!

[@BrockLeonard]

Kelli Ann awe😁 I really appreciate that Kelli!! If you got any questions or need some help just message me on here or find me on social media😊

[@kelliann1935]

Brock Leonard Our favorite videos are definitely the All About ones! Its made the fish wish list process a lot easier with all the information and requirements of the different types of fish so thank you so much for making them. If you have any recommendations of any books, apps, forums we should join please let me know! And ill be sure to shoot you a message!🦀🐚🐡

Eheim is my favorite heater..Definitely a quality heater..I had one in a pond ..The pond would dry out at times.The heater would still function and never broke. I do not recommend you ever leave a heater plugged in without water for obvious safety reasons.. but i did see the quality in these moments.. Definitely Eheim heater all the way though... Only heater i will use.

Hi, Brock! Your reef videos might just be THE most informative and helpful on KZbin. You’re great at explaining so much in a really concise way. Please forgive me for overlooking this topic if you’ve already explained it in depth, which you probably have done, but what kind of water do you use? RODI, tap, well water, etc.? Thanks in advance! Keep makin’ your great reef videos! Louie

[@BrockLeonard]

brohoop LOUIE! I appreciate this so so much🙏🏻 up at the shop we use RODI water.

[@brohoop]

Brock Leonard, thank you! So for your water changes do you fill up containers with your shop’s RODI water and carry it home? Or do you have your own RODI unit? One more question: your new tank is incredible but your old tank was incredible also. What made you decide to change from that biowheel HOB filter to the canister? Thanks again!

[@BrockLeonard]

brohoop I carry water from work to home. We have plenty of customers that do have their own RODI units, but for me it’s like what’s the point, you know? The only and I mean ONLY reason that I changed to a canister filter was because they had a built in UV sterilizer. To be honest, I don’t like canister filters because they are too damn hard to clean. But I had a yellow tang in my 55 for years and years and it died of something that a UV Sterilizer could’ve killed so I beat myself up over that. But other than that I’d stick to my good ol’ emperor 400.

[@brohoop]

Brock Leonard, gotcha. I’ve been deliberating whether or not to use tap water. I’ve heard all kinda advice on why I shouldn’t but I just hate making RODI water! My unit is sooooo slow. I’ve heard lots of people that have had success on tap but I know it can be tricky. Working in your shop do you hear from customers about doing reefs with tap? I’m really sorry about your tang. Yellow tangs are my very fave saltwater fish. Like you I had one for years before it got sick and a uv sterilizer could have saved it also. So I got one for the same reason you did. Thanks, man!

[@BrockLeonard]

brohoop I’ve always learned that tap is just real dangerous. If you use the right products to kill the chlorine and all that, it can definitely work, but for saltwater customers we never recommend it. For customers that don’t use RODI, we recommend that they buy distilled.

[@charlesplaza8704]

Hey great video. very informative. i had an experience with saltwater for 5 years when i was in the philippines. But now living in new york city ive been hesitant to put up one salwater tank. May i ask some few questions with your 75 gallons. 1. what can you say about redsea max completensetup aquarium? 2. whats the model of your 75 gal aquarium? 3. what are you fish, corals and inverts in your 75 gal tank? 4. they said canister filter is not good for salwater coz if there is power outage. the canister will destroy the aquarium because of buildup nitrates nitrites from the the canistee since its not running. that sump filter is still a must 5. since u custom made ur led lights. do you have any suggestion for a premade led lights for a 75 gal? thanks man. and hope and i appreciate ur response soon.

Am going to start a 75 gallon fish only looking to get a hob filter what you think ? thx you

[@BrockLeonard]

You can definitely make it happen! That is how I started.

[@mikegough34]

thanks brock

[@C-O-G4Ever]

how much did it cost to get everything up and running?

[@NaTopcho]

Awesome reef dude. Have a question about the skimmer. I have the same and the bubbles are all over in the tank. How did you get yours not releasing micro bubbles in the tank. I am really desperate dude.

[@BrockLeonard]

Ivan Topchiyski The tricks ive tried is making sure there’s a lot of current up top making the bubbles pop sooner. Also having the intake tube slightly out of the water in order to suck in bubbles. They come with those spongey black things but I’ve ever had great luck with them.

[@NaTopcho]

@@BrockLeonard great. Thanks man.

Are you a movie star yet ?

Hey I was wondering how this tank is going I’m following the build

[@russellkeith3193]

@@BrockLeonard thx you let me see if i can find one Love your videos all of them

[@robertlangford7637]

yea bro how much did tge tank cost ,i need that size

[@BrockLeonard]

Robert Langford The canopy was $200. The tank was $400 with the stand. But there are always deals going on so stay on the lookout and you could get something real nice real cheap.

[@robertlangford7637]

@@BrockLeonard ok ,thanks

[@rugvedkulkarni1593]

Do reef tanks require beneficial bacteria? Does a UV sterilizer and carbon filter interfere with that?

[@BrockLeonard]

Beneficial bacteria is not required in the tank, but it does help. I've never used an added beneficial bacteria in this reef. The UV and carbon will eventually take it out.

[@stevepawlus7768]

What coral u have?

[@Chris-eh1yj]

Can you use the same things in a 100g tank?

[@BrockLeonard]

Chris Heck yeah!

[@Chris-eh1yj]

Brock Leonard Oh ok thanks.By the way how much did each thing cost, and u dont have to use a sump?

[@BrockLeonard]

Chris Powerheads $50 Protein Skimmer $180 Heater $40 Canister Filter $160

[@Chris-eh1yj]

Brock Leonard wow is that really all I need?Btw where did u buy the powerheads??

[@BrockLeonard]

Chris That’s all that runs my tank. The Powerheads are RossMont and I get em from the store I work at.

How tall is the tank stand and dimension of the tank? What kind of light hood and canopy is that?

mogtrader8 Tank Dimensions: 4ft length x 18in width x 21in height Stand height is 28 inches. Marine land or Aqueon Canopy.

[@carlinhos_bargancera]

make a new vid about this one dude!!!

[@ayset.w.2671]

Is it really necessary to have skimmer and canister filter at the same time? :s

[@theholt2ic219]

Zegnaro you don’t need a sump. A canister for filtration and skimmer for skimming

[@JoeBurner1720]

Are marsaquas compatible with that app

[@BrockLeonard]

tim Bauer I highly doubt it. A.I. likes to stick to their own.

Love your videos but that ain't a 75 gallon tank 😂

It’s an aqueon 75 gallon? What are you talking about 😂 48.5" x 18.5" x 21.25"

[@EZ_905]

I got the same tank yours looks soo much bigger

[@BrockLeonard]

@@EZ_905 haha I think it’s the wide angle lens on the GoPro making it look bigger

[@strict90723]

Do you have an rodi?

[@idiotsavant3107]

I use RO/DI. If you don't, I almost guarantee you're going to have tons of nutrient issues.

[@jesusfreak9028]

What kind of tang is that

[@BrockLeonard]

Mike Woodward Philippine yellow tang or Mimic Tang

[@jamesbonanno2827]

What stand do u use

[@BrockLeonard]

Theme Spot It’s the Aqueon 2 door stand

[@philthyphill8753]

Do you need a protein skimmer for saltwater ? Like is it a must

[@BrockLeonard]

Philthy Phill No, you don’t have to have one. It is just a big help when your bio load increases.

Sometimes i shut mine off because of zero nutrients in water
