It’s incredible, the music, the quality of the video, how you explain everything, it’s like a film, very calm and relaxing, the only problem is that video ends.
@@faizalamsahib8040 lol yeah okay. Say that to all the hard corals in that tank XD You may be able to get away with that for some time with softies, but you wont get away with no water changes. You have to reintroduce components of the water that the hard corals are uptaking such as calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, and then a host of other trace elements depending on the hard corals. XD
Your tank is really beautifull, congrats. It amazes me to see that there are no sump, skimmer, auto water reposition....it also encoirages me to start a new tank again after a few years away from this wonderfull hobby.
im doing into salt water aquariums and stuff because my family and I are going to do a Nano tank competition to see who can make to best Nano aquarium and these videos are very insightful and entertaining
Yeah that honestly surprised me how well it turned out! Although he could have used coral dip so he didn't get that flat worm infestation, because they are toxic contrary to what some people say
The opposite. I clean the glass once a week, takes about 5 minutes. Feed the fish once a day. And do a small water change every three weeks which takes 30 mins or so, that’s all! :)
@@ewok4951 i do small protein skimmer, small wavemaker and hob refugium and can grow SPS no problem. no giant sump needed. i put a small ball of chaeto and it keeps everything in check.
Awesome build :) Being a reefer is more about the journey and how we negotiate the hurdles we encounter along the way. Everyone wishes for smooth sailing all of the time, but then it wouldn't be as interesting or engaging, especially when we attempt to create these little worlds of living organisms that are always changing and growing.
I got out of the hobby almost 20 years ago, and I would often dream about my tank somehow continuing to run without a filter. I can’t believe this is even possible, but it makes sense. Father Fish preaches this method for freshwater aquariums.
I once had a very bad green hair algae break out. It was so bad that it looked like the rocks were head banging. I rented a sea hare from my lfs and with in a week it was completely gone. I bought urchins to keep it under control, but for some reason they would come across my frags, and just take them right off the rock. The frags were glued, and I was generous with that glue, but they kept knocking my corals off the rock. The sea hare was the size of a childs fist and it never messed with any of my coral frags. Any way. this is a beautiful tank. Well done.
this is just what i need; i have an empty diy 50 gal 12 inch high aquarium that has been sitting empty for 2 years. thank you for giving me this inspiration
@@T0MM0-Lds i have to focus on studying and I am really young I am 12 years old but I still will make an Aquarium when I am capable of it my parents say I have to study for now
@@leviheichou305 then I'm 100% with your parents! Study first, play later! It got me the job I love and I look back and realise it was all worth it. When you have a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life 😊 Final thing, when you have a job and you're absolutely filling the bank, then can you build a mega-aquarium 😉 Take it easy, kid!
Hello. One of the best videos I've ever seen in aquaristics. Not only is the length just right, no, the individual steps are also well illustrated. Without specifying this, simply addressed the problems. This is how an instructional video should be. Thanks for the work and effort. We operate an AquaMedic Blenny only with flow pumps and heaters. This also works very well as long as the fish stock remains small. However, I have one question: How often is the water changed in your aquarium? Look forward to more videos. Thanks
Beautiful tank. I had a tank like 5 years ago and have been thinking of getting back into the hobby. I saw your light which looks like the Maxspect Razor light I used to have. Many issues with that thing. Not surprised yours failed. Prolly melted capacitor like in mine.
I started off with a Giessemann light on this tank, they look very similar indeed 😛. I’m now using EcoTech Radions and they are so much better in my opinion.
Ive been getting bored with my 5 goldfish and 3 turtles and have been wanting a new pet and tank/habitat and after seeing this video i kinda want a reef habitat now its soo awesome and relaxing to watch way better then watching a plain freshwater tank with goldfish
This tank is beautiful but don't diss a good freshwater aquascape. They can look equally stunning. If you're unhappy with your pets that probably means you shouldn't go out and buy more. Get passionate about the ones you have first
How do you do this without any filtration, what is ur maintenance schedule like, interested in how you are doing this without anything cleaning the water, I see u only have 3 or 4 fish uh but this tank is awesome, I'm about to maybe do a micro reef tank with no fish just crabs and snails maybe a shrimp and maybe a watchman goby paired with a shrimp but yeah. HOW DOES IT EVEN WORK AND BE SO CLEAN WITHOUT ANY THE FILTRATION, WHAT ALL DO YOU DO WITH THIS TANK ???
it is so beautiful. I started one in July, yesterday I added some beginner corals, I can not find the information about the light to use. i have a regular and a blue one in the tank. How many hours I need to turn on each one and do I need to turn it off at night? Thanks
Mega 🤩 Das wird richtig Geil 😊 interessant wäre auch mal was so ein Projekt wenns fertig ist gekostet hat ( natürlich ohne irgendwelche Rabatte 😅 ) Lg 🤘🏼
The rocks he used were surely dry. If you use dry rock,you avoid to bring any unwanted hitchhikers. If you use life rock,your maturing process will be muuuuch faster.
@@DannysAquariums Thanks you! I would love to put together a reef tank of my own some day! Till then I will watch your content and live vicariously through it. 😁
The life of owning a saltwater tank. People say, oh fresh water isn't so bad, well show me a well maintained freshwater tank and make the same statement to them..I had all my tank re did and Hurricane Harvey knocked it out.. Its was thriving well too.. Hand coral rock shipped in from Fiji as well as the substrate too... Coraline algae growing everywhere.. I miss the hobby, but remember, nowhere in this hobby does it say, set it and forget it... Oh and better have plenty of green back to support it too.. But once you can keep it going, having a frag system helps to support it...
You can make any tank size work really, you just have to know what you can stock in it. I have a 4 gallon cube, and I have mostly soft corals in it, but I also have some macro algae, and a small bubble tip anemone. You can really create fascinating little environments if you put in a little research and are willing to maintain it. Here's my stock list for my 4 gallon: (Keep in mind, I clean virtually daily, do bio filter rinses every few days, do a weekly water change of about 20% of the water, and clean the pump and pump bay at least every 2 weeks) 1 tiger pistol shrimp 1 yellow rose goby 1 blue neon cleaner goby 1 masked goby 1 pom pom anemone crab 5 sexy shrimp 1 feather duster worm 1 emerald crab 5 or 6 hermit crabs 3 or 4 snails 3 tree leather corals 1 red rhodactis mushroom 1 green rhodactis mushroom 4 golden Gonzo rhodactis mushrooms 3 small colonies of zoa mushrooms 1 small blastomussa coral 1 toadstool leather coral 2 yuma mushroom corals 5 inch piece of dragon's breath macro algae The entire tank has become the den of the pistol shrimp, and he has entrances all over the place. He is constantly renovating his den, and it's fun to watch! This sounds like a lot to maintain, especially with feeding daily, but I only really put about 3 hours into maintenance each week, spread over the entire week.
awesome video, only concern i have is the foam that you left in the tank. is it fish safe, or will it leach out chemicals from being submerged for so long?
Its made to protect the glass from rocks and wood that’s placed inside the aquarium as well as equalizing pressure underneath the tank, it’s made for aquariums. 3.5 years in now, no problem. ;)
I love it, this is exactly why I picked up the hobby again after 25 years. But, before I copy paste your set-up :) it seems that your Aqua Medic Bali Sand and dry rocks did not have any added beneficial bacteria in the beginning, how did you inoculate/seed your tank in the beginning? It seems that you have a really good functioning bacterial culture. Did you add live nitrifying bacteria products and cultured/fed them in the first weeks/month?
