How much did my Nano Reef Tank cost?

How much money did my Nano Reef Tank Cost? In this video, I cover How much money my Reef Aquarium Costed. Corals I added, the Reef Tank, the Reef Tank Equipment, Coral Food, everything!
This video focuses on my 10 Gallon Nano Reef Tank. A Reef Tank Setup with No Sump and No Skimmer. It's fair to say this is a Reef Aquarium for Beginners. It's a Low Cost Reef Tank and a Low Tech Reef Tank.
I've added some Nano Reef Fish, Coral, and other animals to this Nano Reef.
Nano Reef Tank Water Change: Once every 1-2 Weeks about 15%
Nano Reef Tank Water Parameters: Only when Corals Not Opening Fully
Nano Reef Tank Build: Plug and play Aquarium from Innovative Marine
Nano Reef Tank Lighting: Standard Saltwater Light that comes with the set

*Want a nano reef like this? 🪸 I recommend getting the 12 gallon kit from Reef Casa:* geni.us/NanoReefTanks (As an affiliate of Reef Casa, I earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.)

[@HWolfe]

You know what your tank looks like? Your Nano looks like a black opal...that is meant as a complement. The way the colors meld mean.. fabulous. I am watching; taking notes as I am working on several now; this helps. I comment a bit but vlog music is soothing to. tfs

[@adreasbakas3296]

No skimer??how many litres is the aquarium??beautiful tank

[@josephsilverman2383]

It’s reef-code/bro-code. This is something we don’t talk about. “No honey that’s not a new fish, oh I just moved that coral from a different spots.” It was on sale $9.99

[@oliverhunt1171]

[@hugossacramento]

Hi Danny. Love your videos. Did you forgot wave maker and led fixture?

[@DannysAquariums]

There is no wave maker in the tank anymore, that’s why I didn’t count it in. The light came with the tank, so that’s one price.

[@TehSharkX]

New to your channel. I’m absolutely intrigued by your tank. I’m building a nano tank as well. I saw you mention that you added corals a few weeks in. Did you pre dose anything before hand? Or did you just add them and let them sit there a month before you dosed.

[@DannysAquariums]

Thanks for the sub! I only added copepods twice while it was cycling.

[@zafishguy5166]

The cheapest I have seen is a few hundred bucks for nano tanks under 8 gallons often with the focus on zoas or flower nems and a single goby or cleaner shrimp.

[@klarhensdiyan8382]

Hi, Just want to ask please, if you can also add or put the NuvoSkim AIO protein skimmer (desktop) on this nano tank? thank you much! Really enjoying your videos. keep it up!

[@meatrocket1]

What kind of filtration? Newb here.. so if you don’t mind everything. 😊 also what heater are you using? Great looking tank 👍🏻

[@rahmadfauzan2452]

Hey danny , i just start nano reef tank from too many watch your video 😁 . I love your video and this tank look amazing . Can i ask you something ? Are you use foundation dosing ? I mean like calcium , kh , magnesium ? . Are you test your water parameter ? . Im just start by watching your video ,but that stuff choke my wallet 🤣 , even without that dosing , keeping saltwater tank is expensive for me . Thank you

[@DannysAquariums]

Hi! I don't dose any foundation like calcium, kh, magnesium. I only dose the four bottles shown in this video. I also don't test my water. Good luck!

[@yogeshchaurasia6405]

I am planning to keep only soft corals. So dosing Cal, Mag & Alk is also required OR the 4 stuffs which u dosed in this video is enough ?? Also, do test kits is required if u dose these Aquaforest products ?

[@paulbarrett6093]

Nice tank.

Thanks, Paul!

What is the name of light? Alos what are you using to glue the on? What do I do if I know I am upgrading soon and moving coral? I have tried sitting the plugs in hole s on rock or on top of rock but they fall all the time and crabs knock them off!

Hi Danny, I can't find anywhere that includes the lighting with this setup but you say it was included

Correct, it was included in my set.

[@Gaaraape]

Corals are crazy expensive :/

[@DannysAquariums]

Some are indeed.

[@awsome2ish]

Some are super cheap depending on where you buy them, some hobbyist's frag their corals and sell them for a lot cheaper.

It was a new tank but out the box.

[@lyndsayhammond6884]

Do you feed your shrimp or fish?

[@devildawg4947]

On the instructions of the aqua Forest products it says to dose when the lights are turned off. I noticed you dosed with lights on. Was that just for the video purpose or do you does when lights are on?

[@DannysAquariums]

For the video purpose I dose with the lights on, and turn them off right after filming.Good catch! ;-)

[@robertsullivan9748]

What's the light name

[@dyamiclaassen901]

i love the video, but there is one thing that i find strange. if you add a fish and it dies, why didn't you count it?? because you did buy it.

[@DannysAquariums]

Because it’s not in the setup shown anymore, so it wouldn’t give the right number. If someone wants to build a setup just like what’s shown in this video, they wouldn’t be paying the money for the fish that’s not in there anymore.

[@strictlyyoutube6881]

do you have a heater on your tank? also what is the maintenance like, I would want low maintenance.

[@DannysAquariums]

Yes I do. Maintenance is easy! Check out some of my other videos to see how I do maintenance.

[@bradtate10]

Do you have a protein skimmer on this? I am thinking of getting the same sort of thing but coming from freshwater I find it so confusing! Is the light something you get with the tank or did you get something different? Thanks!

[@DannysAquariums]

I do not have a skimmer, I bought this tank with the light on it.

Does ur aquarium light system come separate? If so where did U buy it from?

It came with the tank, but I've heard they don't sell this set anymore. You have to buy it separate now.

I don't test my water, so a test kit is not necessary.

I buy my coral from local fish stores.

It's simply impossible to get that tank :D Can't find one in stock in Europe for two years.

[@DannysAquariums]

I’m from the Netherlands, it somehow ended up at my local fish store one day, never seen one since.

[@graciliraptor3990]

Doesn't water testing add a considerable part to the total cost? Its whats holding me back a bit

[@DannysAquariums]

I don’t test my water at all, but if you’re new to the saltwater hobby its recommended. It doesn’t cost much, most test kits are like ~$20 for a few hundred tests.

My 12 gallon tank has been running for 2 months now. Its full of LPS and soft corals and I don't dose, I just do weekly water changes and everything is fine. Should I be dosing like you?
