The Best Beginner Salt Water Tank Setup!!! Simple and Cheap!

[@lexitaylor409]

Very beautiful tank 😊

[@fishwateraquatics]

Thank you!

Nice video! I’m new to the hobby and I wanted to ask what type of filter do you need, there was mention of a few. If you can provide some advice or resources that would be great. Thank you.

[@fishwateraquatics]

There are many filters you can go with, personally I like the Aqua clear filters. I’ve been running mine for many years without issues, theyre not loud, easy to take apart and clean, and have lots of space on the inside to customize whatever you want to put in it as far as filter media, bio balls, carbon ect. I hope this helps! Welcome to the hobby :)

I would love to see a few more fish in here,may have to up the water changes though. I think I’ll try my own 20 gallon reef, nice video 👍☹️

[@fishwateraquatics]

Thanks, I am definitely looking at getting some more fish! Glad to hear that you will be trying out your own reef tank!

Get a bigger tank then a 20 gallon they aren't that expensive at Petco and PetSmart, get at least a 40 gallon breeder or bigger , can't do much with a 20 gallon tank.

[@oscardean6351]

@@Marvel_vs_Capcom84 I already have a 40 gallon 150 gallon and the 220 gallon I don’t have much room left I will probably only put a couple of clowns in it anyway just to give it a try if I catch the bug of salt water I may use the 40 gallon at a later date 👍🥹 Cheers

@@oscardean6351 wow you have all those tanks and still want more? Lol

[@markfranklin8831]

Nice video. I have a question? How or do you feed the coral or do they pull food from the water column? Thanks for sharing

[@fishwateraquatics]

My coral just pull food from the water column, I never dirt feed them, but you can direct feed them if you want! I’ll direct feed my bubble tip anemone 2 times a week and that’s it.

[@leonardjackie]

Awesome vid. What's your maintenance schedule like at the start?

[@fishwateraquatics]

Thank you! At the beginning a did 1 water change every week / every other week and tested my water to make sure parameters were in line

[@peteluna4968]

What kind of rock did you use?

[@fishwateraquatics]

Just dry rock from my LFS

[@peteluna4968]

Ready for your light video!

[@fishwateraquatics]

@@peteluna4968 haha me too, unfortunately I have Dino’s in my tank. I thought I got rid of them but they came back so I’ll have to wait a little before I film the new light video :(

[@robert-o4q3v]

Did you cycle your saltwater

[@fishwateraquatics]

Yes it’s cycled, it’s been setup for 3 years so it’s been running for a while

[@jjmccloud]

At least clean tank for the video 😂😂 make it look like something someone would want to have

[@fishwateraquatics]

Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it! I think the tank itself is pretty clean, the glass is what could use some scrubbing. It has lots of spirorbid worms (the white dots) all over which I should clean off most but they are actually a good sign of a healthy tank:)

[@tomasmiquelarena4283]

this light sucks

[@fishwateraquatics]

Yeah it’s not the greatest but it’s a good way to get your feet wet with the hardier corals. But long term it could definitely be upgraded
