[isond2910]

The tank looks amazing!! I just started my first saltwater and it's a 10 gallon as well hope mine looks as healthy as your dose!!

[mar123430]

cod0mw2 i can answer your question on that one your clown was probably put in first a clown fish is calm but very territorial when its settled in their for you always put a clown in last on your list especially if the tank is too small

[FFScantgetadamnname]

Great tank man everything looks really healthy and happy. I think you have a couple too many fish though for a 10 gallon.

[snip84]

@FFScantgetadamnname

thats my tough to. i have only a hi fin red goby with a pistol and a blue legged hermit crab and it seems enought to me. over here everyone tells me not to keep ocelaris in such a small tank because of....bla.

[nwyk153]

dood. do u use any protein skimmer for ya tank? all of ur LS looks super healthy.

[Adam141516]

how often do u do water changes and do u have any tips to someone who wants to start a 10 gallon salt water tank but has only had fresh water fish

[ROCKLEGEND6800]

does it have a skimmer?

[mrflyfishingak]

that must be hard to take care of

[samuelwaynefoleyjr]

my firefish hides all the time too only come out when its time to eat lol

[cod0mw2]

[FishGuy508]

[quesadilla247]

I love fire fish!! I cant get my six line to show up in any of my videos.... I need a fish ready for the cameras :D

[2424Anthony]

Do you use a wet dry filter?

[brettgardner111]

one question man: is it hard to take care of? My friends say its hard to have a 10 gal. saltwater tank?

[cubaniton74]

For a hang on back protein skimmer try this site: aquatraders . com it might help. I had once a set up much like yours and I miss it, I might set it up once again. Thank you for sharing your tank.

[cruzersith]

Nice aquarium. Some of coral need light to be active and when you off the light the coral will shrink. The coral that I have when night it shrink but when the lights on it get active again.

[LRhiNoK]

is that a aqueon filter?

[Derek91857]

that looks really huge for 10 gallons *<:o)

[1992pattrow]

do you have a protein skimmer?

[MrNottify]

@quaqa88 what camera are u using in this video?

[armeniandude99]

thats 10 gallon????

[greengaurd]

I hope to upgrade to a saltwater tank sometime...

[dedog56]

beautiful tank, what filter do you have on?

[hkvocalbt]

i have been reading a lot about beginning a saltwater tank, and first step is the cycling process. i am wondering what the setup for the tank is? any advice? your coral is very beautiful. thank you.

[bass1playa8]

how many pounds of live rock do you have in there? awesome tank!!

[bass1playa8]

how many pounds of live rock do you have in there? awesome tank btw!

[djjohny1986]

[MonopolyBag]

DAYUMN! Looking nice.

[blakennedy]

do I need a power head or maybe a protein skimmer for my 24g fowlr setup?

[MegaTylou]

@blakennedy oh ya you probly want a protein skimmer for 20 gallons and up power head yes

[blakennedy]

what do you feed your fish?

[zenacupuncture]

Hi , love your tank. What kind of filter do you use? Do you add any live rock rubble in it? Thanks,

[Josheen103]

Didn't you have 2 Chromi? What happened to the other one?...Nice tank though...!!...And if the corals multiply, you'll need a bigger tank. xD

[chinkamophobian]

how much did that all cost you?

[sammyiblegend]

finding nemo clown fish is in there

[And3rsonA05]

10 gallons is not suitable for an Ocellaris Clownfish. You should have at least 30+ gallons for a clownfish! Otherwise your tank looks awesome!!! :)

[needzz123]

Hey love your tank ..Can you tell me how much are frags i really want something that my clown can host in ?

[armofa97]

What brand of lighting do you use for this nano aquarium?

[armofa97]

What brand of lighting do you use for this nano aquarium?

[armofa97]

If you have a powerhead in your tank to circulate the water, do you need an additional water pump?

[charmanderzor]

so freakin sweet. u shud edit ur info and list all ur equipment/gear

[Gaby3898]

:D your clownfish is soo cute!!

[kbabykim2005]

I love your tank! Awsome job! I see you have trumpet coral, I have the lime green Candy cane and it is just so colorful and bright! Very hardy also!!! Again just awsome!

[xtrueballerx]

I'm going to be honest... you have too many fish... at most only 2 small fish in a 10 gallon with frequent water changes and an efficient skimmer... it seems ok at first... just give it a few months... it will go downhill... trust me i've been there!

[kbabykim2005]

Every tank differs from time to time! You will have your downfalls and ups! Some people do get away with that many fish in there tank! I have only a Clown and Firefish in my 10 hex, but like i said it can go downhill at any point also!

[xXchowkingmasterXx]

how much does that setup cost?

[basstracker06]

its 1inch every 5 gallons of fish in a tank.. so a 2 inch fish will take up 10 gallons.. thats what ive been reading online..

[lehockj755]

how do you know if your coral dies?

[mjd2107]

nice tank bro

[fishman500000]

i just got a 29 gallon bio cube so im getting a firefish the are so cool its going to be a mixt reef/fish

[gdubale]

Nice Tank !!!

But the vid is too long...

[Vesian3]

Tank's okay, but you have WAY too many fish in a 10g tank. 2 max for a tank that size, any more and you have way too high of a bioload. It will come back to bite you later with fish deaths and nutrient problems.

[GeritWag]

If you would watch the other updates then you'll know that he romves some.

[SoCalGriffith686]

I love the setup! Mine looks similar, but has an ocellaris clownfish, blue damsel, scooter blenny and mandarin dragonet. Love them all, but the mandarin's a brat! She steals my clownfish's food and knocked down 3 corals! lol

[shikaru18]

awesome video man! :)

[1kaitlyn123]

i really like the setup!! have a question it's probably stupid but how much does a setup like that cost? i'm new as you can see lol

[con999000]

hi im connor. i have a 30 gallon saltwtar tank and a 100 saltwater tank pluse 2 fresh water tanks.

for about a 10 gallon tank it will cost about 200-300 dollers. just to set it up. pluse whatever fish and/or corals u want to by. if u need more info come to my channel (trying not to spam)

[quaqa88]

It depends on the requirements of the specific fish and the size that the individual fish gets. I know someone who has a 5 gallon nano aquarium and has kept this rare, small Goby in the tank for almost 6 years now and it is doing great. If the environment is established and stable, the right species of fish can definitely live in a nano aquarium.

[123abridged]

not true. Saltwater experts says 1 inch = 1 gallon.

[pelotera19]

how much did you pay for ur lighting? i am missing a light for my tank sadly =[

ima show u a vid of my tank but i aint got fish yet =/ =] can u add me please =]

[MrDouglasmako]

how much you pay for green star polyp

[quaqa88]

Truthfully, I do not really remember since I bought this coral so long ago but I do know that it will not be anywhere over $20. But it will depend on the size that you get it and the exact specimen.

[ncharrison]

@quaqa88 that tank is to small for a clown dude!!!

[Joshh2k10]

@ncharrison no. not the captive breed one which he has reach 3 inch if your lucky. the wild caught ones get bigger like 5-6 inches.

[Snickoys]

wow that sucks for u guys. here were i live in california. clownfish r 11.99 and the black ones are 19.99

[piranhaleg]

what kind of light is that and where did u get it and how much? thanks

[mtndewme7777]

how much did all that cost you are my hero i have a 10 gallon salt tank but thats sweet

[Mrmorett]

very nice tank bud. i just think its kindda overpopulated

[ice500]

hii hey how much did all this stuff including the fishes all the coral cost u looks expensive lol

[Snickoys]

well i made a saltwater tank similar to that but with no corals and it cost around 100 and the corals are like 20 each

[vanhalenman60]

subsribed

[Mason749]

Those are REALLY expensive.

In North Carolina, The clownfish are $40 and the black Clownfish are $80 with only a 2 week warranty

[abe375]

in texas they are like 15-20 bucks lol

[beowolf106105]

R U Serious Bro?! I Got Mine For $14.99 In Charlotte..

[Mason749]

What Store?

[beowolf106105]

Nemo Fish

[100guppyguy]

do you feed your corals?

my pet shopowner told me to feed my bubble coral.

i forgot to ask her what to feed.

[quaqa88]

Some corals will actually accept frozen fish foods that you normally feed your fish. They work the same way that carnivorous plants do, which consists of closing in on there food and slowly digesting it. However, you should go with a commercially prepared food specially formulated for the consumption by corals. This usually will consist of a bottle of concentrated phytoplanktonic organisms that you simply squirt onto the corals. It is easy to find and beneficial to the health of corals.

[SMUDGE349]

do u have any advice because im setting up a 45 gal saltwater tank

[quaqa88]

Well there's a lot of advice I could tell you but for the startup of a tank, make sure that it is well cycled before putting anything inside.

[Danno8679]

this one is soooo much better than your first one (not first update,first saltwater aquarium.)

[gatocrib]

what happen to your other blue chromis? you had 2 on video !

[retf567]

hey love the tank i have a question so message me ASAP please

[MagellanEatsChildren]

never thought you could have a 10G saltwater!

[person12348562]

you can its called a nano reef i have one

[person12348562]

IM A GIRL!!!!!!!

[person12348562]

sorry that was a dumb question i should of looked at the top lol but i have another question can you please tell me how to acclimate a coral because i an thinking of getting yellow star polops(dont know how to spell lol) but please can you tell me i subscribe to you please???

[quaqa88]

Well if you go and take a look at my 3 part video on how to acclimate a saltwater fish, I use the same exact method for coral acclimation. Anyone else will probably give you the same method. However, it works, it is very effective, and it saves your coral from stressing to death.

[sajeevan1]

its would be nice if you can make some sort of saltwater tank care and the food you feed them i watch other videos i think you do it better so ye and btw im starting on a fish only saltwater tank soon maybe comming month so ye

[person12348562]

[darenshan54]

clowns are that expensive $15 will get u one. 10lbs rock varies depending on type $20-$100. Skimmers $30-60

[TheAquariumKid]

o lol thats not bad i can gewt like 40 dollors or live rock and simple skimmer and sand and other fish still thinking about getting saltwater lol

[him1414]

do youhave to acclimate coral ?

[quaqa88]

Absolutely. I would say that the corals are more sensitive to water conditions than the fish are.

[marinebioboy1]

where is your aquarium store located?+

[aya4islam]

WoooooooW

awesome tank. I feel u did a lot for these.

keep it up dude

[shadowmaster995]

Do you have carbon in your filter??

[quaqa88]

Yes. I believe that it is very beneficial to the water quality of any aquarium.

[shadowmaster995]

thanks for all the help!!!

[kmosh2]

Nice tank, I will subscribe to you videos. I'm starting a saltwater tank, I will start posting video updates on it soon.

[marinebioboy1]

hey i love your videos.whats the name of the aquarium store you go to.

[quaqa88]

It is a local, family owed store that would not be familiar to you.

[contentunderpresure]

Very nice tank, you are making me want to look in to salt water, or at least brackish. Could you post a short clip of the coral retracted like you said it does. That would be really neat to see.

[bananatree94]

eh brackish isnt nearly as cool as salt lol.

[shadowmaster995]

was that your cichlid tank back months ago??

[quaqa88]

That is correct.

[shadowmaster995]

haha nice do you like owning a saltwater aquarium even at 10 gallons??

[TheFishMan101]

HAHHA whats so funy about a 10 gallon some people cant afford more.

[shadowmaster995]

do u use carbon in the filter??

[THEREALCORNPUFF]

wonderful =]

[shadowmaster995]

Your water is perfect!

[hotdoghee123]

[Gilbert289]

[tastythighs180]

[Halocuber]

Do you ever have trouble with Bristle worms?

[TheFishMan101]

Bristle worms arnt that bad actullay

[Halocuber]

Yeah, but they just freak me out for some reason.

[TheFishMan101]

Yeah there freaky all right

[quaqa88]

Bristle Worms can eat and kill both soft and hard corals a saltwater tank. I as a matter of fact actually have one in my tank and I am unable to remove it.

[TheFishMan101]

Oh really.....................i gotta get mine out how do you catch them they keep have babys in my tank???
