Water MIXING STATION - Part Two - Newbie Tank Build

[@flippersreef]

Bicycle motocross magazine brings back memories. Raced for co-factory Panda back in the early eighties! I had raced against Stu thomson, Patterson brothers, Eddy king, Greg hill.......etc. Welcome to the saltwater hobby! I've been doing it since 1993!

Very cool. I was on Schwinn’s first factory trick team.

@@jimmynewbiereefer Back when GT and Haro was heavy into freestyle?

This video series has been great and cracking me up. Love the informal nature of it and just showing what an uninformed new reefer is truly like 😂

[@dusk1947]

Yep, welcome to Reefing. The short course on: electrical, plumbing, cabinetry, chemistry, biology, ecology, photography, structural engineering, masonry, and some light computer programming... It's just a simple and relaxing pass time, they say

[@hurricaneaquatics]

Lol, yes that's a flat out lie to newbies when the LFS or other store tells them, "No, saltwater is no more expensive than freshwater", "It's not that expensive and easy to maintain.". I would recommend it to anyone that likes a challenge and interested to learn over time. However, you better have a very large cash flow if you want to do it right. You can do it right, but you're not going to have corals overnight, etc. It's still not remotely cheap and it's almost a full-time job.

What a great video, love the texting at the end!

[@Dartibee]

The text messages are the best!!

[@stevenpavan327]

Fun and informative. Bravo.

[@saltwaterandlime]

I felt the same way when I finally got my very own brute trash cans with rollers

[@doghousereefer]

Was that dogs tail blue?

[@dennisolinskie4207]

Nicely done, I went a touch more technical. used a 15 gallon barrel strapped to an old aluminum dolly with a pump and heater installed.

Timely video. Anchiously waiting to see the rest. I have a 150-tank. I'm having someone do this for me in my washroom. Will the complete setup be shown in the next video?

[@flech3025]

Wish this was longer.

[@Sammy31Dee]

A year later....the tank now has sand ....🏆

[@somdreef]

Padawan reefer, Jedi T-shirt collector! 😊

[@peterhowells8509]

Goodnight....lol

[@RD_uno]

Can I store water in those brute containers?

[@bee1445]

Depends. Brute comes in different colors. Only some of the colors are rated as food safe. So make sure the model/color you want is rated as food safe. If it’s food safe, then it’s fish tank water safe.

Blue tail?
