[Triplepower4]

Thumbs up if you watched just to see what a reef aquarium looks like at home!

[ippie888]

do you needa heater for saltwater fish?

[saltwater221]

are those all the fish you can keep in there or more

[mrsluhlee]

ive got guppies...much more easy hehehe

[xxtasha10xx]

@mrsluhlee They breed like mad lol I had some in a freshwater tank and they had like 50 babies!

[rmaher98]

i have a 39 gallon tank is a 40-150 gallon wet dry filter too powerful

[FishFreak102]

@rmaher98 No, It is better if you get a filter more powerful than the tank needs.

[UniqueMonique513]

Lmao. At 4:54.. did I hear him name the fish (flash ur ass) haha

[TheDeag1e]

@UniqueMonique513 flasher wrasse

[grandpapj]

Awesome instructions. So much so that I've decided to stick with guppies in a 5 gallon freshwater aquarium. You probably saved me life.

[NINJA15951]

When you change water you add salt or fresh water?

[TheBerriersReef]

@NINJA15951So if you take 10 gallons of saltwater out of your tank, then you would replace that water with 10 gallons of new, ro/di saltwater.

[ASXCTD]

LIVE ROCK WITH WET/DRY FILTER IS NOT GOOD.You can`t do this in a reef aquarium;nitrates will raise to much

[platinum243125]

What is live rock and sand anyways?

[PrevalentDisease]

I have a 60gal and this one looks way smaller I say its like a 50gal

[alfreaso]

how much ?

[jared321123]

This tank is a 55-60 gallon

[sk81514]

awesome i have a fresh water 8 gallon nano cube and i want to convert it to salt water what do you recommend i do

p.s what filtration do you use/ recommend

[manunitedfan117]

@sk81514 buddy an 8 gallon tank isn't right for a beginners setup, let me direct you to a guys channel that i recommend you visit, his name is "newyorksteelo" type it in and prepare to learn.

[mixkain]

@sk81514

using the nano cube is more difficult only because small tanks (small water amounts) are more prone to fluctuations. with that said my salt tank was 10 gallons (small by many standards) I just read a lot for my tank and had no problem. if you never had a salt tank Before attempting a mini reef in a nan cube, i would put a damsel in the cube and make sure you could keep it alive. once you get the hang of it you could mini reef in a cube with ease

[iatakden]

sounds like MR ROGERS !!!! LOL

[Aquasplender]

Shouldnt you put the rock first??

[rediwsCp]

@Aquasplender yeah, to keep live stock from digging under it

[CI321]

@Aquasplender i put live sand, then live rock then the water in

[TheLiddleFishKeeper]

Hurray!

[SpaceAnimator]

What is that blue and yellow thing at 0:18

[reefsforme]

@SpaceAnimator That is called a sea apple. It is a filtering invertebrate, and when it dies, it releases harmful toxins and poisons into the aquarium.

[oscar2hot4u]

they kinda got it all correct

[eddy1154]

How do you put the corals on the live rock? Do you have to manually put them on?

[zeeshanroohullah]

Yup you gotta stick them to the live rocks with some super glue!

[cichlidkeeper89]
