Unboxing Corals for my Saltwater Aquarium - Shallow Coral Reef Tank

[@DannysAquariums]

*As a Christmas gift for you, I will be uploading an extra video this Thursday and next week on Thursday. This has been a rough year for everyone and I hope my videos made this year a little better for you. Happy Holidays!*

[@timkevin2125]

I'm not sure but I think that the euphyllia is too much in the flow.

[@DannysAquariums]

@@timkevin2125 it was a bit too much yeah, but I moved the power heads. I had to point them down a little bit so the water surface doesn’t move as much on video.

[@peterpoop]

I appreciate this channel because I don't have to listen to someone talking with their extra energetic and loud "KZbin voice"

[@JJJOOSSHHH]

I personally would prefer to hear him talk

[@seafriendlyreef]

So nice man!! Can't wait to see that tank how it looks like in a year

[@DannysAquariums]

Thanks! Will do! Hope it looks great in a year. ;)

[@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305]

Looks like you got an eheim 350 surface skimmer. Im the one who mentioned the surface film on your tank in the last video. I use those surface skimmers as well in some tanks like my 60g hexagon reef and a fresh water tank From experience i will tell you to get a old fish net you dont use anymore. And cut the net out and ziptie it to the floating skimmer bobby thing. And cut small holes in the openeings to alloe it to flow properly. This is to keep snails. And fish from getting in there and dying. Trust me i learned the hardway and had snails and bangai cardinals and neon tetras in fresh water and so forth die in them before i added a net. Also take your watch off. Salt water does and will corrode even stainless steel even if you think you rinsed it in fresh water. Trust me i learned the hardway too

[@DannysAquariums]

Yeah, the surface skimmer is great! Thanks for the suggestions!

[@zafishguy5166]

Unboxing videos are better than normal videos because we all enjoy unboxings.

[@DannysAquariums]

Unboxing videos are awesome, indeed!

[@omarbut3424]

YES YES YES YES WE ALL LOVE UNBOXING VIDEO

[@lifeofelectra9680]

Cant wait for the video explaining how you're maintaining this beauty😍

[@DannysAquariums]

Very soon, stay tuned!

Finally? The last upload was a few days ago! Haha! 😝

[@jaggergray]

You should add some more colorful fish!!

[@kennethcal8563]

It looks amazing, keep up the great work!!

Sure is!

[@martinw4380]

Dude, PLEASE premix the saltwater with "the Dip" before you insert the Corals. Otherwise you can damage your new Corals pretty easy

[@DannysAquariums]

Thanks for the tip, Martin! I'll definitely do that next time, thanks for letting me know!

[@spence7732]

i've known people with 200 corals in their reef systems and they never mixed their dip with the salt

[@Bamacher59]

@@spence7732 do you just use rodi water instead? Thanks

[@spence7732]

@@Bamacher59 i just use the water from the bag and add the coral dip. then when im done i clean them off in fresh saltwater som,etimes from the tank if im lazy and ive even used just rodi with no salt becuse youre just rinsing them off for a couple seconds and i havent had any problems. id try to use saltwater as much as possible but in a crunch you shouldnt need to worry as much. I accidentally dipped a coral withput the coral water from the bag and accidentally used cold rodi without even salt. cold, and no salt. yet the coral was perfectly fine. most corals are more resillient than youd think because they have to survive the harshness of the wild

[@so_so_reef]

Your sand is insanely clean!

[@andrewgreenwood1228]

All my years of having marine and seeing others systems I’ve never seen a tank that clean, to me it’s not cycled in yet unless he knows something I don’t.

[@DannysAquariums]

Thank you, Christopher. Andrew, I use a gravel vacuum to siphon out the water and that helps keep the sand really clean. Prior to maintenance, the sand looks kind of gross. Make sure there's movement in your sand either manually or by introducing starfish, gobies, or sand sifting snails.

[@wesleyforbes]

Very nice! Your videos have really improved, good job!

[@DannysAquariums]

Thanks!

[@darwingallegos2768]

I need a tank like this 🥲

[@KL-rq9hm]

Your amazing brother keep it up ,it only gets better🤩🤪😜

[@lorenzospina3174]

Great job man 😉.

[@MrReedMiester]

My guess for second most expensive coral: If that really big elegance looking coral in there is really an elegance, I'd guess that your second most expensive coral :)

[@DannysAquariums]

Correct, that's the second most expensive coral that I own.

[@MrReedMiester]

@@DannysAquariums cool! Does it have multiple heads/is it branching?

[@KL-rq9hm]

Your awesome keep up the great work.😲😲😲😲😄😄😄😀

[@DannysAquariums]

Thank you!!

[@wadey58]

Where is the wrasse? awesome vid!!

[@DannysAquariums]

Unfortunately the wrasse didn’t make it. Within a few hours it passed, I believe it was stress.

[@SnapsZGaming]

@@DannysAquariums :(

[@justintrentini8956]

What are the dressers your tanks sit on?

[@fishpalace]

Tank is looking great and fantastic mix of corals too. Tank would looks even better with 2 or 3 small fish and corals would also benefit from fish waste. Definitely like taking frag plugs off to remove risk of aiptasia, eggs or other unwanted nasties but why not remove before you dip?

[@DannysAquariums]

Great question, not sure haha.

[@itsdzuki]

The size dimention tank 40g?

[@calcowtv3936]

Soooo, no filter?! This the worlds most simple reef tank ever! How often do you do water changes?

[@DannysAquariums]

Yup, no filter on this tank!

[@Berkmnn]

Danny's Aquariums how often do you do water changes?

[@LatinMasterxx]

@@Berkmnn The answer is: Yes. He does.

[@garrycole9187]

@@Berkmnn , he probably does it when it is needed or the tests shows levels are creeping up. He doesn't have any fish or none that I can see so as long as he doesn't use reef roids or AB+ and feed his coral to a minimum, water changes and some dosing is all that is needed. Most of his stock is LFS and softies so the tank can be a little dirty which is what his stock would prefer.

[@jarzeniowy9557]

Suuuuuper! How tank size? 100x30x30?

[@DannysAquariums]

It's 120 x 45 x 30cm.

[@jmacmurdo2607]

How are you able to run this tank with no filtration? Really considering this route for my next tank after seeing these amazing videos and perfectly maintained corals

[@dillongunn7567]

*Push* kitty style!

[@MrHighFlyer023]

How often do you feed your corals and what are you feeding them?

[@tombackhed792]

What corals do you have inte shallow reef? Looks great

[@FishandPeace]

I saw your video about the beginning of this tank but I didn't see the dimensions of this sweet shallow reef tank. Couleur you give them to us please ? Are there any advantages or inconveniences about the shallow shape ?

[@goldmaster9250]

Sehr schönes Aquarium‼️ Kann man die Korallen immer so leicht an und abmachen?

[@dennisadler7050]

Hi there, if I see that correctly, you don't have a filter on your aquarium. Just two flow pumps, a heating rod and a decent lamp, right? How much effort do you have with daily / weekly / monthly maintenance? How many water changes do you do? How much water do you regularly top up? Where does your salt water come from? So do you use osmosis water and salt (which one)? Perhaps you have already answered these questions and can give me a hint? Otherwise, I could imagine such a video about your tanks really well. Your aquariums look great. Keep it up. greetings from Berlin Dennis

[@DannysAquariums]

I'll be making a video about this soon.

[@joehonaker2218]

I hope that's not a new setup putting all that beautiful coral in there .....which it is because there's no coraline algee on the rocks yet... you'll be losing alot of that though when she crashes because of the enevitible cycles its got to go through. Been there done that . Made all those exact mistakes. Easy to do, this hobby is addictive and memorizing indeed! Good luck 👍

[@johnlai9114]

What watch are you wearing

[@DannysAquariums]

I'm wearing a Seiko Prospex ‘Save The Ocean’ Special Edition SSC675P1 in this video, John. Great watch!

[@iuricarvalho3776]

How do you set up your lighting? Is there a blue and white light power setting during the day?

[@DannysAquariums]

I have it set to a preset mode. Not sure what the percentages are.

[@DimenGaming]

How often do you WC and how much? :)

[@DannysAquariums]

Once a week, about 10%.

[@treestand]

Do you normally use a lid or screen net top for your aquarium? I have a six-line wrasse like you do and they're known to be jumpers

[@DannysAquariums]

Yeah, when I’m not filming I have a DIY lid on the tank.

[@treestand]

@@DannysAquariums Great! Tank looks awesome with the new corals!

Hi welches aqarium ist das besser gesagt welche größe

[@dexterporciuncula9823]

May i ask why didnt you put fish in it?

[@DannysAquariums]

I added a six line wrasse last time. It's a new tank and I'm not sure what fish I want in this tank yet.

[@Punisher32144]

So after watching your vid once it hit upto 5min 31seconds I can see Aiptasia how did that manage to get in to your tank? Shouldn’t the coral dip help, I always break n remove the frag and alway stick my coral on fresh frags

[@DannysAquariums]

Dips target bacteria, protozoa’s, fungi, and critter, but not anemones unfortunately. Aiptasia are anemones.

[@tanksandtrainz9078]

How are you filtering this tank?? Great vids!

[@DannysAquariums]

I don't have a filter on this tank. Thanks!

[@DropoffCorals]

We’d love to send you something!

[@niklasrkmn]

Do you use a filter and how do you make the salt water?

[@DannysAquariums]

I use natural sea water.

[@siv916]

Do you filter your water yourself or do you buy it at a retailer?

[@DannysAquariums]

I change a small percentage every week. I use sea water.

i got my saltwater aquarium 3 months ago im having this red slime on my sand since i got it what is it is it bad what do i do

[@DannysAquariums]

It could be red cyanobacteria. Look that up on Google to make sure.

[@joehonaker2218]

Wait

[@ricardosalinas4973]

Why do they come with an extra bag inside?

[@AllanAsh]

Sometimes the bags can puncture, so extra bags ensure that there isn't a leak.

[@DannysAquariums]

There's an extra bag in there so there is less room to move. They are just filled with air.

[@AllanAsh]
