How to make a Saltwater Aquarium | Ep.5 Nano Reef Competition

[@ahmedelzanfally9451]

the first and only time you can throw salt direct to the aquarium hehe. nice vid. thx!

[@AquaSplendor]

Hehe 😝

[@scotty2salty327]

Wow you put a lot of time into that. Can't wait to see your rock scape and some inhabitants! I see you have a flair for the dramatic by adding your salt directly to the water... Interesting touch for the video.

[@_akalman]

This video was EXTREMELY helpful, I almost siliconed my AIO part completely wrong!

[@GenieAquarist]

Amazing how you made the tank from the start! I thought you had bought the tank the way it was from the beginning. Great handyman work!!

[@AquaSplendor]

Thank you #keepitsimple

[@diegochinchilla3209]

Wow your video is just amazing, I really lik the effort you put in the editing and the music background is absolutely amazing!!

[@blurry2598]

Love watching the process. Great music selection and overall production btw, made it even more enjoyable to watch 👍🏼

[@AquaSplendor]

Thank you, glad you appreciated the music selection 😁🤑

[@marts500]

....quite apart from anything else.This was simply a lovely piece of film making.

[@ReefSYS]

That was a very nice job. I hope I’m as diligent with my sump.

[@AquaSplendor]

Sump are like closet, once the door is close there is no more problem 😝

[@mattod5491]

Great effort! 👍Looking forward to seeing it stocked. Not sure about the black sand though🤔

[@AquaSplendor]

Maybe in Episode 7 stuff will change? Hmm ;)

[@jokrazy2002]

I have the black sand. It’s like near a volcano

[@areyouarobotz]

love the music mixing

[@AquariumPartners]

Super video .. bravo Nicolas .

[@kuldeepjaswal4655]

Hey Man, am from India and just found your videos gradually see other relative items but your way I like too much, very happy to see full detail video and explanations..real love bro! keep it up..

[@HIXNN]

Love this video! Cant wait too see the aquascape!

[@AquaSplendor]

Hehe, the aquarium dimension is very limiting, I don't I will do something stunning, I prefer to let the corals do the job 😁. Maybe I could do something that goes out of the aquariym... hmmm

[@lucasszymanski114]

Tank looks so nice! Great work!

[@Yanichoix]

Le travail de porc 😂 mais le résultat est nickel

[@AquaSplendor]

Quel partie considère tu comme porcelain

As soon as the tools made noise my cat fled the room😂 before that she was watching with me.

[@abyankabir1910]

Just subscribed. I have a 120 gallon mixed reef tank. I’m 12 years old, I live in Bangladesh 🇧🇩. I love ur videos and I don’t why why people dislike ur videos. Do u think I should have a hang on the back protein skimmer and media reactor and a canister filter in my frag tank or a sump? If I use a canister filter where will I have the refugium?

[@AquaSplendor]

For a 120G I would say the best is to have a sump, with all the equipement in it. It's more easier to do the maintenance this way :)

[@abyankabir1910]

@Aqua Splendor thank u for ur reply. Love ur videos.

[@johanngarcia7290]

good video like always..... bad idea mix the salt into the tank!!!

[@AquaSplendor]

The only time I could do it ;)

[@pierrebardou2728]

Encore une superbe vidéo !! Ça donne envie de faire un petit aqua tout en un ;)

[@AquaSplendor]

Oui! 😁 Attend de voir l'épisode 7, je fais quelques modifications, j'ai un mini regret niveau arrivé d'eau.

[@pierrebardou2728]

Aqua Splendor hâte de voir ça !!

[@tristanratel598]

Bonjour, je suis fasciné par cette construction, si tu commercialises demain le kit acrylique à monter dans son aquarium, je deviens ton premier client !😁

[@jordanharris6484]

Your videos are immaculate

[@danielbrown8410]

I have a question I hope you answer. All the aio builds I have seen use weld on 16 to adhere the acrylic, you did not, you only used silicone. Have you seen any issues from this? I would prefer to only use silicone if possible.

[@AquaSplendor]

Yeah silicone is not the best, it just what I have in hand. Overtime depending on pressure and other thing, they can detach. *years, depending on the silicone.

[@itsmarkrh]

Where did you order the aquarium from?

[@AquaSplendor]

Aqua Plus Montréal

[@DorseyDong]

GOOD JOB and what's the size of the tank?

[@AquaSplendor]

Info in the description :)

[@darthcon34]

when you left it for 4 weeks did you do water changes? love the videos

[@AquaSplendor]

By default yes, If you watch the next episodes I think I had to change the sand (so water also)

[@PrattsDrywallPaintCo]

This is awesome!

[@Marinetuck220]

Where did you get the tank at?

[@AquaSplendor]

I think I put the info on episode 3, it's in Montréal.

[@scottrobert2724]

no lower intake help pump run dry

[@marianamator4171]

😀

[@LordAinzOoalGown00]

13:51 Where do I find more info about the salinity level at around 20 ppt for faster bacteria growth?

[@AquaSplendor]

That is a great question, This type of information is often taken from research paper I read. I can't recall which paper unfortunately but I believe Dr.Tims (company) might have said thing if I recall correctly. But honestly, in the end, it doesn't make much difference honestly.

[@darthcon34]

What do you use to hold the matrix bio media?

[@AquaSplendor]

Hmm i think its a bag for garlic 😅

[@gadamwoll]

Where did you get tank in a box?

[@AquaSplendor]

I mention it in the episode 2 and 4, its un Montréal 🙂

[@sarahgrassi9648]

Who makes the tank

[@AquaSplendor]

Chinese manufacture, most of the tank come from the same place under different brand

[@sarahgrassi9648]

@@AquaSplendor like the dimensions and the idea of an aio peninsula style. Was thinking a aio 40 breeder peninsula. Will be following close.

[@B0redom13]

I’m shocked you didn’t premix the salt

[@AquaSplendor]

I did?

[@TGODxRaid]

what did you use for the tubing/bulkhead on the return pump?

[@AquaSplendor]

Anything that I found at home depot that would fit, no particular name/brand

[@DiegoRaroAlemanTovaroide]

Hey I’m planning to set up my first aquarium and I will go with a 10 gallon cube an I’m doing it like you from 0 but i want to know how you filtration works because I want to do the same I will appreciate any advice

[@AquaSplendor]

Simply watch the serie it's all there :), I keep everything as simple.

[@DiegoRaroAlemanTovaroide]

Thank you but anyway can u tell me the type of filter I want to know the name

[@AquaSplendor]

@@DiegoRaroAlemanTovaroide Everything is custom, I don't like what most aquarium brand do.

[@DiegoRaroAlemanTovaroide]

What is your tank size?

[@AquaSplendor]

Check in the description of the video should be there normally

[@LordOfMoriaGimli]

@@AquaSplendor Thanks

[@neptunes_pot]

I have really understood youre method to create content. In the end of 2019 the Covi19 was rising and you made a devil plan: Therefore you decide to enter a tank contest and start them at work, which is not possible to go through the shutdown. So, you stopped the project and took the aquarium at home with your bike, actually impossible. But, to destroy the tank on the road was to obviously for you. Therfore you damaged the tank by "accident" at home. And now you can make the same tank build video a second time. I am curious the see the next "new" videos or step backs… :-)

[@AquaSplendor]

Haha, i'm just showing all the process has we go along, and yes I did take my bike with the aquarium lol. The next day I clean the aquarium and did a return pump test in my bath, lift it and it slip. I decide to build the same tank because of the contest and wasn't sure if it would be ok to switch to a bigger one or not, so I went safe. You will be surprise by the number of step back, hehehe but I will persist :P

[@neptunes_pot]

@@AquaSplendor I am just kidding :)

[@antiquelampshades2878]

Hi. I'm building the same size as yours 😊 Do you mind to share the dimensions of each holes of water inlet? Thank you

[@AquaSplendor]

Check my nano-reef.com topic, I think I posted the dimension there a long time ago.

[@antiquelampshades2878]

@@AquaSplendor okay thank you 🙏 Do you use skimmer? If u don't, how often do you water change?

[@brucie_b_fpvalvarado5453]

This dude just dropped salt into the tank expecting it to mix properly 😂😂😂😂

[@AquaSplendor]

And it did 🤣
