This video is absolutely perfect for beginners and for those who think reef aquariums have to be expensive spot on great information thanks for sharing and doing what you do for the hobby 👍🍻🇺🇸 your fan in New Orleans
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
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?
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.
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
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)
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?
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.
When I bought all included I aquarium, she told me - no tap water so I bought - osmosis - get live sand so I bought - get salt so I bought But no coral just wait for like 8 weeks so the aquarium is on the point But here you told me to put corals directly ??
