Pet Fish Care : Beginner Saltwater Aquarium Setup

[jscofield55]

He is right, A bigger tank is easier to care for. It will require alot less maintenance than a smaller tank.

[jean9910]

I dont want a sump what should I use?

[blueflip2]

everyone in these expert village videos are always so tense and awkward.RELAX.

[MrRahmanIV]

he's reading



[prowireless88]

Also.. the bigger tank you get. the more money you have to spend. i have a 30gallon long and its enough for me as a starter.

[CrypticWatcher]

@prowireless88 I agree, I received a 110gal tank and it's burning a hole in my wallet

[Druvid]

tasha10 you must understand the difference between freshwater and salt water, salt water is an art, yes like a good painting or nice vase they will make a room more decorative, but without the proper knowledge and time within 6 weeks that piece of decor will be looking like a dirty window rather than a peice of art.

an easy fresh water setup is usually the choice for someone wanting to brighten up a room.

[johnherrera305]

WTF? This provided no useful info!!!!!!!

[ionlylikefish]

if you're an expert, i'm an absolute genius.

[FishHobby1984]

That tank behind him is probably the best saltwater aquarium on youtube!!!

[borjan121]

How is fish in water a pet you cant pet it thats not fun

[xxtasha10xx]

@borjan121 Most people have fish as an ornament to make a house more decorative.

[hitachimagicwandUK]

what is that creture shown on 10 to 12 secons into the video?

[AheroHD]

@hitachimagicwandUK a fish...lol

[hitachimagicwandUK]

@AheroHD what kind though.

[ThreshOfDistrict10]

@hitachimagicwandUK Its a Pipe fish



[darrinr769]

i love that reef!

[CJELLIOTT666]

how much do leapard sharks cost or how much do black tip sharks cost either will help me also im getting a huge tank well more like a pool (building myself) and was wondering if there would be a problem keeping it outside.

[wangundegi]

= salinity, bigger tank has a less swings due to more water masses.

[wangundegi]

People who are saying "of course he is going to suggest bigger tank to make more money"

Is actually true, well ya its true they will make more money, but he is telling the truth about the more noob friendly part as well. Corals and inverts are VERY sensetive to water temp change or water nutrient change. Small tank has a huge swings if you dont keep your eye on it almost every hour specially in the summer. If you miss even a day, you will be dealing with super high temp = alot of evaporation =

[hawaiidoves]

That is a beautiful tank !

[omgfeliciaomg]

is it just me or did he just say "a lot of people come in asking for beginner sex" at 0:08 ?

[NIGHT2PWN]

@omgfeliciaomg hahah beginner sex xD

[KrochInSky]

@omgfeliciaomg i think he kind of mumbled out sets :)

[loliage11]

i agree with MrMtnbuilder this is a stupid video

[bernie1b1]

HE IS NOT A JOKE ! .... HE IS SINCERE WITH HIS WORK! ..B&G FLORIDA :

[skipstah70]

ah... what is the fricking point of this video... the guys isn't even giving any info.. retard.

[70gallonfishtank]

at least this guy knows wat hes talking about

[70gallonfishtank]

i admit expert village is a piece of crap, but this guy all least knows way hes talking about.

[Michaelbellic1234]

do we have to change the water every week

[lizbetjoy]

@Michaelbellic1234 yes, but only 25% of the water

[MrMtnbuilder]

did You learn any thing here? no ? me either! beginners should start with the biggest setup and invest tens of thousands otherwise they will fail. good advice and way to scare more people from the hobby. nano reefs are only for experts. we all need to start with a 300 gallon tank. call him for a good deal.

[jawstheshark1243]

"The fresh... I mean saltwater... the saltwater hobby

[jawstheshark1243]

Hi Ryan!

[chunkymunky7695]

ofcourse he is going to suggest you get a bigger tank......

[desiremyvids]

@chunkymunky7695 hahahahahaah yeah lol

[MrSilverfox333]

Cool!

[uke2304]

What size is the tank in the video?

[kissmarkhing]

hi ryan, can you help me by choosing the right combination of my fish on my salt water tank?? currently, i have 1 diamond butterflyfish, 1 fox-faced fish, 1 domino damsel, 1 3striped damsel and 1 tomato clown. i want to add some colorful fishes but sometimes it happened that some of my new fishes purchased are easily died when i transfer it because most of my damsels are they bullied the new one. what are the ideal fishes that i can add on my tank that they dont bullied and fighting it.?

[AmmoBravo]

name of the fish at 0:09 please

[thegoodsoflife]

@AmmoBravo Striped pipefish

[iMarooned]

This advise is as bad as the attitude of the brain damaged liar saying it

Expert Village seems to be closer to a comedy channel as apposed to a advise channel.

[ReefCollege]

sweet tank dude. do you mind if i share this video on the ReefCollege forum?

[706israel]

I love your tank I started on june 2009 I wait 2 months I check my quemicals and all were good so I started to add my first fish it was a memo it seem it was doing ok then a three weeks later add 2 more fishes there were doing fine when I notice that my fish started to die I check my quemicals there were good my tempeture were 78 and my salinity was 1.024 every time I was adding water my salinity star to claim my water evaporets a lot so can you help me and tell me what to do..

[DOX9500]

[noahdavinci]

@babyboikit sure but dont mix them with coral

[sshhaammiiiiiiiiii]

wow, now i'm a salt water aquarium PRO after watching this video of 1 minutes 9 seconds.... :p

[Link4681]

Anyone know what the fish at 0:12 is?

[fatsilentbob]

@Link4681 It's a flame angelfish, very pretty fish.

[Link4681]

@fatsilentbob umm not that one i meant the one at 0:12 on the video length; u probably had ur mouse on the little circle, which indicated 0:12 at the flame angel. i mean the one that looks like a small little type of fish that is really long thats yellow with stripes and has a red circle on its tail

[fatsilentbob]

@Link4681 Just looked it up, Dunckerocampus pessuliferus is the scientific name it's a type of flagtail pipefish.

[Link4681]

@fatsilentbob o ok cool thanks

[Nugburner420]

man i wish i went with a 100 gal tank at least. this 55 gallon is kicking my butt. water quality just goes down hill with such small water volume. my dads 100 gallon that i maintain goes for so much longer and dont have to worry about it as much. especially when dosing

[TheTerrell360]

how do you pit videos on youtube

[PR3DA7QR]

hello there i have no idea when it comes to marine tanks, and would like to post a comment here for some help .

i have kept different fish over the years but never marine , i am thinking of setting up a tank depending on what i need, i dont want to spend money on more filteration ect.

at the moment i keep african malawis , i have a 200 litre tank with dead coral sand and dead ocean rock a 300 w heater , and a fluval 405 external cannister filter is this suitable for a marine set up

thanks.

[diagnosismurderer1]

expert village sucks

[Pivoteer24]

i dont need a fish. I don't need a hamster. I dont need a dog. I dont need a cat. I dont need a turtle. I dont need a small poodle. You know what my pet is? A rock!Just think about it, because it doesn't need walking, feeding, or water. It's great, i let it sit wherever it wants. And it obeys my only command. Sit.

[AKSpartanKiIIer]

Why is this kid stuttering like a retard? T-T-today junior

[dzhotdog]

bigger tank, easier it is to maintain... my ass!!!! there is soo much work involoved in planning a large reef tank. beginers should get smaller tanks. fish store owners tell you that so you can spend more money. i started with a 12Gal nano and never lost 1 single live stock other than snails that got killed by hermits.

[boorens18]

@dzhotdog I think he was referring to the knowledge and buffer room and not the actually hours of work required. If you have a larger tank, you have more room to slip up. The larger volume means that it dilutes the effects of pollutants.

[plessans]

@dzhotdog

I speak from experience. He's right that a larger tank is easier to maintain because there is more water volume for nutrients to be diluted. All tanks evaporate water all the time; it's inevitable. However, in a smaller tank the salinity, excess nutrients, and animal waste concentrations increase more drastically when a volume of water evaporates in a day without being replenished and even more so if not replenished after two days. The change is less drastic for larger tanks.

[plessans]

@dzhotdog

Also, as previously said, this is not the best place to learn how to take care of a saltwater tank. If you want a saltwater tank, you need to do your research on every aspect maintenance and setup and each equipment setup will depend entirely on what kind of inhabitants you want to keep. For example, you do not need metal halide lighting for a fish-only setup. It would be a waste to do this because it's expensive to buy and uses a TON of electricity. Use Power Compacts or no light.

[UUwill1]

Cloudy water is usually a result of algae bloom. Which is a result of too much light combined with excessive nitrates/nitrites. Keep your lights off for a while and get your water parameters under control.

[kuhni1]

@UUwill1 I was under the impression cloudy water usually linked to bacterial blooms resulting from excess nutrients.

[chaj1981]

how to remove cloudy water?thanks..

[direcon04]

love the tank, beautiful fish... my stepdad had a 175 gallon tank (salt water) and he said it was easier to keep up with than and fresh water tank.

[CodyLeeWatson]

Yea i agree with the person below me...

There seriously are a bunch idiots, what they say dosent make sense at all...they didn't even talk about the different elements of the salt water that has to be maintained. If i was looking for advice on a saltwater/marine coral set up I would not come to youtube...

Bad place for information !

[djEvilDude]

@CodyLeeWatson can you yield some light on where to get more info on how to start a salt water aquarium for beginners?

Thank you.

[I2eapz]

try marine / reef forums a good 1 is masa they have the best info you can find on the net  i also own afew reef tanks and im more then happy to help out with any questions

[jillianmarquett]

[MrBettaBreeder]

[samuelwaynefoleyjr]

@jillianmarquett i agree lol they know somewhat but nowhere near expert

[spaceminterception]

[12createaccount]

@jillianmarquett oh yeah, one time i learned so much from one video, that i locked up laughing

[RowanTolley02]

[drkingslend]

That is a really amazing tank

[infinityperson]

@drkingslend yeah, sadly its owned by an expertvillage "expert"...

[MrChitocan]

y do my fish move there mouth alot. does algei on the live rock affect the oxygen.

[crackhugger123]

they're feeding off the particles in the water, usually clowfish , damsels, and gobis do it

[markknight85]

Reef runners is no more, their site is gone and the phone number he states in this video is disconnected

[ChelseaTheUtuber]

wth...? Looks like he had a script right infront of him.. it's freaky...

[petrochemicals4u]

where's yr name tag geek? Keep the advertisements for the classifieds!

[flyman27302]

gorgeous tank mate.

[guitarsweetie13]

that was a beautiful aquarium

[HyperFerret]

What kind of fish is that at 0:10?

[sharpanator]

maybe a pipefish

[formulafun00]

yellow banded/ringed pipefish

[havoc2092]

hi there. i have a 85 gallon FOWLR. the sand i used when i first set it up last june was given to me by a neighbor and now he has moved out. i dont have a clue if the sand is live sand or just normal sand since i was thinking of giving it a quick stir. is there a way that i can check if the sand is actually live sand. regards

[alexandercaicedo]

hello, I have a 29 gallon tank that is allready set up , my question is, If I install a sump of about 20 gallons ,that will make my tank 50 gallons?

[penguin2cute101]

what is the name of the fish at 0:12 ???

[xeniepeppy]

flame angel

[penguin2cute101]

Thank You!

[ctenophor]

not a flame angel, its a banded pipefish

[penguin2cute101]

I thought so, because the pictures didnt look like the gfish in here..Thanx!

[tastythighs180]

it's an african pipefish

[penguin2cute101]

Thanx

[ctenophor]

isn't african pipefish another name for banded or rigned pipefish?

also, african pipefish can be confusing to some, as their are many african pipefish.

i myself have kept the freshwater ones(realy brackish) and no of others who have kept african blue stripes.

[tastythighs180]

yeah i meant african banded pipefish

[Jruberti]

thats an awesome behind ya

[metal484]

weak video and a weak attempt at advertisment. Guy has no idea what hes talking about. Anyone wanting to gain a lot of expert knowledge of salt water aquariums just type in LA FISH GUYS in the youtube search field and you will find over 50 episodes on everything you would ever want to know about Salt Water Aquariums.

[BIGgourami]

yes, that was flashing behavior.. not a "spin"

[neffin]

uhm... i need help... im confused about using my hydrometer...

i'm having hard time checking the salinity of my tank...

how can i tell if its at its right salinity level using this hydrometer?

[themsbeweird]

he's not reading an autocue AT ALL!
