1 year review of wall mounted aquarium with recommendations

[EmirNAli]

what filter do you use?

[TheJRH0327]

I'm not trying to be a know it all but I believe u have way too much sand

[jmw1234567]

The tank is about 5 feet long x 1.5 feet tall, by 4.5 inches deep. I have no protein skimmer. Just two filters inside at each end. I do water changes every 1-2 weeks. Good luck with your tank.

[ADIKILLEREEF]

HI, I'm a fan of your aquarium, I'm planning on setting up an equal or at least try to approach her​, but I have many doubts and would like to take these with you: 1-You must have some equipment that is not built-in skimmer? 2 - I think if you put a movie showing all the accessories used would help me a lot! and I would be very grateful! I am sorry for my English Brazil! laughs

The I almost forgot what are the dimensions of your aquarium

[jmw1234567]

Museum Tour sells them. It is called a wall mounted aquarium. They have many styles.  Google museum Tour and you will find it.

[Bucarazzi1]

What's the aquarium called? Can you buy it online?



[TheCashman007]

what size is your tank like to make a one

[intoxicologist]

overall very nice tank, good advice too except i also would not recommend a blue tang in such a small volume as it will outgrow the turning area it needs.

[jasonalexjohn]

love it! u should do more reviews!!!

[jmw1234567]

I have had the blue tang for almost 3 years and he has grown only a bit. In a small tank they grow very slowly. I wouldn't worry about it. If they ever did outgrow the tank I bet that most fish stores would let you trade it in for a smaller one. ;-)

Love your tank!

Tried something similar, but no one wants to sell me a blue tang in such a small volume. They say that it will really outgrow the tank. Why inyour 3 year review is the blue tang the same size? I really like the blue tang. What do you think?

[jmw1234567]

keeping a salt water tank can be expensive...it's not for everyone...but there are beautiful things that are reasonable. Each fish store prices are different but I think I paid around $100 for live rock and live sand, clown fish and damsels were around $10 ea, but some of the others were more so around $100 for fish. Then another $100 for corals...of course you build up slowly so it's usually around $25 - $50 per trip to the fish store. For me the enjoyment is worth it. ;-)

[jmw1234567]

I bought my 5 foot bamboo tank with mahogany finish at museumtour. com for 999.00. I have seen them in some stores for as much as 3500.00 for the bamboo ones! just go to museumtour and search aquarium for all their options...they have quite a few styles at different price points.

@jmw1234567

how much altogether you have buy

can you get everything (fish pump coral) in under $1000 nowadays

[petrorian1000rr]

hello, where you got that aquarium with bambo front? and how much you paid for it?

[jmw1234567]

I actually think I might have found it at walmart. But I'm sure you could google it and find some online store that sells plastic decorations. good luck!

[rkal7]

In regards to the fake white sea fan or coral in the middle. Could you tell me the name and location of the local fish shop you purchased it from. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Great Vid and love your whole setup.

[jmw1234567]

They are pieces of Coral. I think they are stag coral but I'm not sure....my local fish store had them as one of their live rock options....you might ask your local store if they can bring some in for you. They're really great for the thin tanks because they stack well and you can put your soft corals on them closer to the light source. Plus they give the fish lots of places to hide.

[jmw1234567]

That one is is fake, and I got it from my local fish store. ;-) Everything else in the tank is real.

[NapEli]

@jmw1234567 What kind of rocks are those?? I haven't seen those kind of rocks in my lfs .. I have the same aquarium except my tank is the steel finish. I like your whole set up, I can't wait to find the right rocks for mine. Great Vid

[rkal7]

Thanks for the info.....Is that a real or fake white sea fan in the middle of the tank and where did you get it?

[dragon92king]

Hay Isn't bubbles in the water stress them out

[jmw1234567]

@dragon92king

My fish seem to like it, and the bubbles aerate the water which is good for the overall health of the tank.

[frostyan]

Great set up . Can you do another video showing how you feed them and filter changing

[jmw1234567]

@frostyan I'll try to get this up in the new year...but in general it's simple to feed..I just give them some brine shrimp from the freezer. I thaw it in some water and pour it in. For the filers, I just open them up and rinse out the sponge..that's all there is too it.

[invesra]

Hey man, im thinking of setting up a similar system for myself. Are there any special filtration systems or pumps youve added? addtionally, how long have to had the tang and the clown fish in the tank? Ive heard that the fish cant live in such a confined enviroment. Well thanks man, fill me in when you get a chance.

[demonstrius3]

Thanks, you convinced me to buy a wall mounted aquarium and rite now it looks really nice =)

[Potsgirl22]

Where did you get that live rock?

[erminthon88]

how much would one of those tanks cost, and where could i get one?

[jmw1234567]

@erminthon88 I got my tank through museumtour They have a bunch of designs and sizes. They ranging from $159.00 to $999.00. This one was one of the nicer ones near the higher end. Mine is 5' long and made with a real bamboo finish. It's really beautiful! They come with all the accessories you need. If you do a salt water tank you'll need at least a 6 gallon (medium or large). You can't do salt water with a small one. I get a million compliments. Enjoy!

[1126kipper]

get rid of that rock near the feather duster. I think its full of aiptasia

[TheAshman1987]

haha... love it, reminds me of finding nemo!

[jamantbin1]

Am about to purchase similar for first tank. Very informative clip. Thanks. What do you mean when you say "live sand and live rock"

[binskiboi]

@jamantbin1 that the rock and sand iis literally alive. It helps filter your tank and everything, very important

[techknic]

I just got one of these tanks for my office. It did not come with the pumps or lights. Can you tell me what pumps and light and fixture you are using? Do you use a protein skimmer? Id appreciate any help!!

Thanks!

[12addictedfish]

nice tank
