The perfect video for me , I have only freshwater aquariums. In future i want a saltwater tank 😉.

[@seafriendlyreef]

Can i run a 15 inch cube saltwater aquarium with HOB filter??

[@noonado]

I have a question.. are there any species of fish that are okay with loud music? I am wanting to put a tank in my studio but I don't want to stress out any fish/shrimp if I were to get any.. Great video! Thank you

[@EnuffsEnuff318]

Different sand choices could mess you up down the road. Which is the best sand in terms of granular size?

[@AquariumHobbist]

Great video! You used off the shelf water to get started. How do you do water change though? Do you keep getting the same salt water off the shelf or is it possible to DIY from tap water?

[@hunterpatton548]

You can mix your own saltwater but need to use distilled or RODI water not tap.

[@houstonswisha143]

As a beginner what is probably better a 20 or 40 gallon

[@rajgill7576]

I have no dosing for my reef tank right now, just a bunch of good water from my LFS and a reef master test kit to check my params. All for reef seems expensive, but seems like the best first thing to buy, additive wise? I have reef roids only for feeding so far. 6 frags in a new tank (week old)

[@Arborpress]

You shouldn’t need any additives or dosing on a new tank. Phytoplankton + copepods and fritz turbo is all you need really.

[@ahmedsaddique2239]

Is there a light I can wire into the mains so I can have the lights suspended from the Ceiling?

[@pelagicswimmer]

23C to 24C seems rather low to me, cheaper to run at those temps though, I ran 25-26C

[@josehoffiz7691]

I loved this video, what kind of filter you used ?

[@lllStreetlll]

Hello, i wanna make my 1st saltwater tank , it will be 60L ( 60x30x30) , softs corals and gsp :D About the light, its Orphek or3 blue a good choise? Thanks, great vid

[@seafriendlyreef]

Thank you! I don’t have any experience with that brand I just have one tank with it here on the channel ;)

[@jawon70]

I would advise to buy an oase biomaster thermo cannister filter.Heater is inside the cannister filter en you can fiil this filter full of bio media. Good foor beneficial bacteria to live. Als the filter has an easy to clean pre filter.

[@arielbalangue6489]

I didint have a diatom bloom for months too

[@somerandomguy.2326]

Can I make an aquarium for clownfish without anemones and corals,if I can,can I use a fresh water lamp,and do I still need flow

[@seafriendlyreef]

For the fish it would be better with corals and you always need flow in a saltwater tank

[@somerandomguy.2326]

Ok,thanks,one more,do they still need air pomp,bubles from the bottom of the tank?

[@FlockensNekroparlor]

"This standard tank you can find in any hardware store." #JustGermanThings

[@ikariajk6609]

I don't want to put corals there I only wanted to put local fish that I can catch from where I live. I've seen other people doing it too so I've been inspired by them. Is that possible? If yes would I still need to put that pump you mentioned? And is it possible to house wild caught non tropical fish with other tropical fish that they sell in the stores?

[@Kitsune1989]

1) check the bylaws where you live for keeping anything wildcaught. A lot of fish are protected by laws especially locale species and it can lead to fines or even jail time if you get noticed by whichever group is responsible for the fish & wildlife laws where you live. 2) a lot of wild fish have really nasty parasites and bacteria that could be harmful to you or other species of fish you introduce later but aren't necessarily harmful to the initial fish. Bacteria brought in from wildcaught fish could also grow quite rapidly in a contained environment. Same with any coral taken, or seaweed etc. 3) you still need the filters etc because all those do is mimic the natural environment. Without them most of your stuff would die pretty quick especially wildcaught. 4)wildcaught fish don't live nearly as long as captive bred and are much more sensitive to things in a captive setting. It would be far better to just research your local fish species that you want and source them from captive bred places. They will live longer and healthier lives plus you don't risk introducing something into your tank later that could wipe out all your hard work.

[@zaytoven337]

What kind of jump start products you use to cycle aquarium since no live rock and no fish?

[@seafriendlyreef]

Live sand and if you want to you can add starter bacteria, also on the dead rocks are bacterias :)

[@ramonpeinado7626]

no link to the products used?

[@michaelross5674]

You can put coral in right away.... Before it cycles... It too me a while to cycle it....

[@waza8861]

Once the tank is set up how do I manage my water parameters

[@seafriendlyreef]

Best way is ICP

[@arielbalangue6489]

Dude amazing i found a 55 gallon reef aquarium for 40 dollars bro tap water is fine just used water conditioner prime its fine for me
