My name is Ash - I've been passionate about aquariums since I was 7 years old. I started with goldfish and freshwater tanks as a child, and over the years, I've transitioned to saltwater and back to freshwater about three times. I have an equal love for all things aquatics and believe that freshwater and saltwater shouldn't be in competition. To me, both are very similar yet uniquely different, each offering its own fascinating aspects and challenges.
Currently, I maintain a 400-gallon saltwater coral reef aquarium, and my future project involves creating a beautiful planted tank. Join me as I dive into the captivating world of aquariums, sharing tips, experiences, and the wonders of both freshwater and saltwater systems.

Good info in this video. How did you mount the canopy over the tank? Is the tank holding all the weight of the canopy and lights? Thank you.
The front two corners are holding the weight and the back is bolted to the wall
How do the anemone just...appear in the tank??
They can survive a nuclear bomb! They come on LR and coral bases. Honestly I QT every single coral to avoid them.. and somehow my QT has none but they found a way in the tank.. I feel they can remain invisible for months and months before showing themselves.
@AquariumSurge do you quality test with clean water or tank water? That might affect them coming out. Maybe a qt when you do a water change and use the dirty water if you aren't already. (Less than minimum knowledge in this field, I'm just guessing and throwing hypotheticals)
@@rampagent9226 The QT has always had its own water bc my main system has high nutrients I never could use it for QT. I feel the zoas from my old system must have brought them in somehow,, I am not sure how there must have been slime somewhere but its not a big deal really, having aiptasia is part of the hobby😁Aslong as I dont have any coral parasites I am good
They look beautiful such a shame
Yes they look great until you have 1000s
How can this possibly be safe for your fish?
My powder blue tang ate the stuff.. I was suppose to add that to the short but forget 🤥
to anyone reading: when you mix sodium hydroxide, there is a exothermic reaction that causes heat and fumes. the fumes can be harmful if inhaled.
The "fumes" are actually just steam, if you're just using NaOH. Where you'll find more dangerous volatiles is with mixed chemicals (like drain cleaners, etc)... Some things are designed to react cause intense reactions on contact with water. Always good to read labels
@@agxryt First batch I made i think it lost its potency so now just going to mix it and use it within 1 week. I believe using it right after mixing when its steaming destroys aiptasia even when they close up.
Yeah 100% don't recommend this to as a first things.. However, its the only thing that works and actually kills everything to the bare rock.. I think it could be useful for certain areas in the tank with algae issues.
@@AquariumSurge it might have, the water in NaOH solutions react with CO2 in air over time, to form carbonic acid (H2CO3). Then the HO ion (the base, from the lye) steals a proton (an H) from carbonic acid, making H20, bicarbonate ions (HCO3+) and sodium ions (Na-). Your aqueous sodium hydroxide slowly becomes aqueous baking soda (which is a much weaker base). Best to do it fresh!
@@AquariumSurge I was totally surprised to see you do it. I don't really know aquariums, but from watching your stuff, they seem pretty temperamental. Life usually prefers acidic environments too.
My uncle is right
How is “lye, caustic soda, and drain cleaner” FOOD GRADE?!!? 👀 🌈🪬
Kind of wild! They use it for Pretzels and other foods..
Because it's used in so much stuff. Calling it a "chemical", while true, might be a bit misleading. It's just sodium bound to hydroxide (HO), they separate into sodium and hydroxide ions in water... But both of those are already minor components of water, as "minerals", and all the hydroxide ion wants to do is pair up with a free hydrogen, to become water. (It's just kinda aggressive about it) It's basically hyper-concentrated mineral water. Which is dangerous, but It's also the original ingredient of soap (aside from the fat). It's used constantly in production, to neutralize acids. It's used to make pretzels, various Chinese dishes. We used to get it from wood ash, in the old days. It's literally everywhere, including in your body. Look at ingredients lists, you'll find it in so many things. Tl;dr it's a "harmful chemical" in the same way that salt is a harmful chemical - in high concentrations. Albeit, quite a bit more feisty.
they also use it to make handmade soap. a reaction called 'saponification' occurs when a water/lye mix is added to an oil - the chemical reaction makes soap
Hell yeah! Been waiting for this to come to a head.
Thanks for watching 😄
How do you manage low phosphates
I am dosing Phosphates continuously via Ecotech versa pump. I checked them two weeks ago they were .06ppm. If I stopped dosing they bottom out. Acros tend to look more vibrant when they are 0 but the zoas and acans are an instant indicator phosphates have bottomed out. They do not like to open up when it bottoms out
Maybe I'll make a video soon on carbon dosing with Phosphates. I purchased Phospahate from Amazon for $10 and honestly it may last a lifetime 😆
Powder Blue killed majority of my fishes, so I'm a bit scared to get it again
Hmm. Only fish I added after the tangs was the chromis and none of my tangs bothered them. I think if I added another medium size fish they would probably kill them
Very nice. I can't keep a tang to save my life.
How big is your tank? Honestly I feel Yellow and Purple tangs are bullet proof since they can do well in smaller tanks. The Powders, clowns, achilles, aka acanthurus species are difficult because they need a larger system and really good diet and flow.
How do you treat the lateral line ? My hippo had it for almost few months now, thank you!
depends how bad it is. My yellows got it in a holding tank after 2 years and really took a permanent beating. The purples I didn't do anything special just made sure I fed them good and they healed pretty quickly. Make sure your using good carbon and rinsing it good
Awesome Tang family. My luck with chromis is if you have at least one fish that picks on them. Then they should band together and watch out for the more aggressive fish. I have had 5 in my 75 for about 2 year’s now. The dottyback chases them every time he see them 😂 I don’t think I’m putting any in my 180.
It’s OK I’ve had to deal with piranhas
Are you subscribed?
I think I am done with chromis bc of the cost. I would probably consider 5 anthias in the future
That’s my uncle
Was up Nephew
Nice video

🙌👌✌️
Great work!
Thanks!
Great setup👍🏾 very well thought out
Thanks! 👍
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks
Looks good my friend 👌👏✌️
Thank you! Cheers!
How would you use a bandsaw to make those cuts?
Not sure just feel with smaller cutts a wet saw maybe safer
GG on the click baiting, probably good content, but marked do not recommend regardless.
No Problem...No hard feelings 😁
I changed the thumbnail. Thanks
Bro I did a triple take coz of the Mr. Beast thumbnail 😅 nice scrubber!
LOL, I call my ATS a Beast so felt it made sense to put MR beast on the Thumbnail
bro, why did you made some legs under the shelf... when you used 2 triangles as support underneath the shelf.. all the weught will be distrubited into the wall and you will never have the problem of kicking the legs.. and when you raise the pump to a certain height, you will have a safety trash hold..
I have some metal L brackets I was thinking about using but this is the first time I am actually hanging something of importance to the concrete so just kept 2nd guessing myself. You are right the legs are easily kicked but I am thinking about just bulking it up and making shelfs for random aquarium stuff. Or eventually just do what you said bc I know its stupid. lol
👏👍
What light did you use? I may have missed it I apologize!
I will check and share the link
Here you go. www.amazon.com/dp/B08JLH96VB?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder_k0_1_21&=&crid=1JFX1Y04LK6UI&=&sprefix=led+light+grow+light+
That is awesome! Very impressive!
Thank you.
Nice setep
Thanks
Great work! ❤️
Thank you! 😄
I wish I put more effort into my scape. You tank looks great.
Thanks, This is probably Tank 10 so I had a lot of time to reflect on what I didn't want to do again. I would not change a thing on this scape, also made 100s of holes and have every frag on removal rubble rock that attached to rods. which I will highlight in future videos. Thanks for watching 😀
You did an excellent job! Look forward to seeing more videos of your system! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you! 👍
Dope scape and explanation. Aquascaping is one of my favorite parts of reef builds.. keep doing what you do 🫡💯
Thanks Bro!
Sorry for the Blurry Video of the Tank! I will be better next time! What did you think of my scape? Did I nail the look of WWC?
sorry, how do you push the air into the flow? i wanted to check my tank water flow.
If you watch the video closing before the bubbles, You will see me using a turkey baster by the inlet.
awsome aquairum build, I am look to assemble my new 280G glass aquarium so an upgrade from a 75G aquarium reef aha
Thanks, good luck with you Build
Really cool. Nice to see a smart OG system.
Thanks😁
In all my years of following reefing (and now a successful reef of my own), I'd never imagined running a closed loop OVER the tank. Brilliant!! 👍
And this is my first closed loop ever. It just gives so much flow bc of the lack of head pressure
Like it keep up the good work
Thanks Wayne!
Wow, that looks impressive
Thanks Sir!
Very nice system, great walk -through!
Thanks for watching
Very cool 👌👏 Thanks for sharing 🙌🔥💯👏
Thanks Pal!
Where did u get the sea swirl i can’t find them anywhere
I got them 3 years ago...Go to sea swirls aquarium currents website and msg them. I am sure they will be back eventually. Parts can't be on back order forever
This is PRO information! We all need to do this! thank you for sharing!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great job, I’m digging the rock structures, very cool! Consider adding a filter to your camera or maybe turning white lights on while filming.
Thanks, I have a lens filter and some good cameras just don't think my corals are healthy enough yet to make it really worth it 😔. I told myself I'll make a YT channel when my corals are rocking, but I think people could learn more from overcoming struggle - Next up 300PPM Nitrate problem!
What are the return nozzles. I have never seen them b4. Where did you get them.
See link below. These things increase velocity pretty good, probably 6 feet. www.bulkreefsupply.com/cpr-threaded-eductor.html?ab_version=A&EL+%7C+ACQ_Prospecting_PMax+%7C+ROAS+%7C+Open+Targets+%7C+Low+Margin&hsa_acc=7373341438&hsa_cam=17740353356&hsa_grp=&hsa_ad=&hsa_src=x&hsa_tgt=&hsa_kw=&hsa_mt=&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0ruyBhDuARIsANSZ3wqloSTJdiunFM2AbXpn_irHDcF86xwerXYYZyq7dyuRNuXUw7lci5oaAhvqEALw_wcB
Damn that's cool, didn't even know about closed loop systems but it's fantastic
Thanks Bro!
Sea swirls have power cords.
Yeah true that, but at least they don't have those bulky power supplies and controllers.
Huge tank! Nice setup 👌
Thanks buddy
Beautiful set up
Thanks
Poof! Just like that you made virtually every other marine aquarium look like amateur hour! Super impressive!
Thank you! But trust me my tank ain't all that yet! lol
Great job for union work and all😂 great job keep it up 👍
Thanks 😅
