Nano Reef Aquarium Setup Video 1

This video is the first in what will hopefully be a series of videos about setting up a Nano reef aquarium. In this video I describe the equipment I Use as well as show it all installed on the tank. I also fill the tank with RO/DI water and mix the salt.

Please let me know what you think, if you have any suggestions or comments I'd love to here them, this is my first venture into the marine aquarium hobby so I've got some learning to do but I've been doing my research and acquiring as much knowledge as I can in hopes of having a good first experience in the reef world.

So Again, let me know what you think, Comment, Rate, subscribe and I'll do my best to keep up, Thanks for watching.

If you don't mind me asking, how much does a rig like this cost you?

[AquariumsbyZero]

@jimgriffiths57 Sorry It took me a littl while to get back to you here. before live stock bu including live rock, around $500 and $600 i believe. Your most expensive part will be your lighting in my opinion. I also didnt by it all at onces, I spaced it out over time, was a while before i actually got my set up ready to go. hope this helps thanks for watching!

pretty sure your suppose to mix your water then add it ? not mix the salt in the actual tank

[AquariumsbyZero]

@ILIUIKIEI Normally thats correct, but in this case since theres nothing in the tank but water and its the the initial set up, it dosn't really matter. You never want to fix the salt in an established setup with livestock. Thanks for watching!
