This video is very helpful. But you skip the part when you put in the corals and anemones.. I really want to get into this hobby but I have no idea how to start putting corals or anemones, what kind of corals or anemones are suitable with certain specifications of a tank, etc.. Please make a video about corals and anemones!

Have used canister filters for 34 years in salt set ups. Set them up right with proper media and they’ll do their job.

@barbatanas7679 5 лет назад

Has some drawbacks, but LOTS of people use them. Most people use sumps for stability thanks to the added water volume, but canister do fine aswell. Actually in nano and pico reefs we use HOB filters aswell or even none, just some powerheads. It's all a case by case scenario. Since this is a "Super Simple Setup" I have no objections :) FIshkeeping isnt written in stone. Take care.

I'd like to have a salt tank. My grandma used to have like a 75 gallon reef tank with some clown fish and a starfis. She had others but thats sll i can remember. That was about 12 years ago and i was only 3 years old. Everything is just so expensive. Reef rocks are $200 for 2. Coral buds really arent that bad where i may get them if i start a reef tank. The fish arent that bad either. About $40 for about 6 fish in a 25 gallon. Coral buds are about $15 each and right bow im thinking of a couple anenomes. Hope i spelled that right. And then there was another one with a weird name. It looks kinda like a mushroom.

This is a great video! It is the most succinct video I have seen so far! While I have been watching multiple videos to prepare myself as I set up my tank(I have all the materials but want to triple check that I don't mess up). I have kept freshwater fish for years but I recently decided to venture into saltwater as well.

@ryanwakebradtelle8682 5 лет назад

Just out of curiosity you know what happens when salt water is next to brackish water, they don't mix at least free much because of different salinity levels. I wonder if it would be possible to recreate this in an aquarium small enough to fit in someone's house?

Hey people. Maybe a strange question, but I never had a reef tank before. Only tropical tanks for about 5 years now. I'm gonna set up a reef tank on my 200 Liter. It's still a tropical now, have to rehome some fish first. But if I rehomed them, I'm gonna set it up. If I got the crushed coral, dry rocks, etc in it, can I just put my filter(s) (which is now on my tropical) on the reef tank without changing biomedia? Or do I have 2 change it? Also i'm gonna put 1 or 2 tidal110's on it, what yall recommend? I already got 2, so I don't have 2 buy extra. Thanks in advance! ❤

@RipVanWinkle_Nature_Discovery 5 лет назад

Hey Mike, not to contradict you but can I suggest you do a series on this setup to show how the tank progresses? I think that would be proper in this case because you have a new canister filter who's media is completely new and the fact that you also used dead sand and dead rock. Maybe show how to mitigate the ensuing ammonia spikes and bacterial blooms as well as how to manage the lights for the first few weeks of the setup? (ie: until they can be run normally) I suggest that just to be fair to new hobbyists in giving them realistic expectations for when (ie what delay in terms of months) the first inhabitants can SAFELY be added to the system without putting them at risk. What do you think?
