I have three tanks in my house and my little pico Deskmate is my favorite hahaha. A few upgrades I do recommend are ditch the filter sock and get a Kraken Reef cup so you can just add poly-floss and chuck it every few days and add more. The return nozzle isn't bad but a random flow generator helps. The final upgrade I made was ditching the stock light for a Kessil a80 and it will grow softies, lps, and even some sps corals.

I bought mine the day they launched them and it has been bullet proof!!!

I’ve been watching this this guy non stop over the weekend, to figure out if I wanna convert my fresh water tank to a reef tank… almost everything he says here goes against what he tought me this weekend. -take it slow, cycle your tank before livestock -small tanks are not easy if you want good water quality -clown fish are not for nano tanks Kinda confused now, or was this just a commercial for the tank?
Great question, and you are not wrong. Small tanks, like this, aren't best for beginners. But the reality is, beginners seem to buy nano tanks a lot! This is a video just showing what is possible, trying to inspire people who are outside of the hobby. This is actually video 1/8, where we are going to do the same thing, but with bigger tanks as we go along.
Yeah this has so many problems for newbys starting this hobby. It all looks great and all, but a salt water aquarium just doesn’t start in a day with a fish and a hermit crab and like 10 pieces of coral. It takes weeks to get just to the stage of adding one fish. Shame on you Brs tv
There’s a way to say it, but she is in fact right in order for your quarrel to stay alive and be healthy for your fish. It Hass to build up the right amount of bacteria in the tank for at least a month before you add an expensive fish if you want to see if the coral is ready or not then you add may be a cheap fish so that if it dies you don’t waste a lot of money at natural coral aquarium does not just take a week or days to set up
Or you just go to in the aquarium store that has All of the substrate, filter material, media, corals, live rocks, and everything already in a huge gigantic cycled tank being dosed with ammonia. In that case it's literally ready day one...
Because reefkeeping is a money pit and a few hundred dollars is next to nothing if it’s still only in the hundreds, price is dependant on the socioeconomic environment and varies depending on what’s available for what price to each person
Looks great and fun for a tabletop setup! I had to comment because it seems I am one of the FEW who doesn’t do water changes. Now, I have done 5-10% changes here and there maybe 3-4 times per year for fluctuation corrections and at first to address a few mystery issues to no avail. How do I do this (and yes I have thriving acros)? All-for-Reef powder mix solution on a dosing pump adding everything needed in increment doses throughout the day. My tank’s nitrates disappear from present natural bacteria and coral consumption and phosphates kept in check with Rowaphos in reactor. What’s the need to swap out perfectly fine, at least from what I see, saltwater at that point? Cheers, looking good! 😎👍🏼
I live in tropical country and my house is near the beach and Ive seen a ton of clownfish on it's natural habitat. I've only seen them swim more than a feet far from its host anemone when: (1) the large female is defending its home from me, and (2) when I'm far away and they are feeding on the open column. With that being said, I dont think the tank size is a problem here (for a professional and well experienced hobbyist). What I see bad here is beginner hobbyists thinking that this would be an easy setup and be able to maintain the proper water parameter for this size of a tank especially that this video is titled "How to Set-up a Saltwater Aquarium". Plus, I've never seen a lone clownfish in the wild. She needs a partner on a slightly bigger tank of course.
I've had multiple tanks with clownfish in them.. a 55, a 90, a 2.5 and a 14 gallon, the 90 was the only one with 2 clownfish i got as juveniles from the same clutch. They were the least happy of all the my clowns, they never paired, ended up each having their own anemone but the dominant one would still go visit just to bully. The single clowns all lived happily & healthy hosting a dinner plate sized toadstool in the 55, a xenia in the 2.5 and a nem in the 14. So, i don't think the single clown is an issue. And I'm sure the reefing advocates, experts and all around good people at BRS that work with him, would inform Mathew if it was. I am jealous though, as I've never had the pleasure of seeing clowns while swimming through reefs as you have. Although we need to keep in mind in this hobby of sustaining successful artificial environments, that the only thing we are trying to exactly replicate from the ocean, is the visual beauty and health of the animals. 😊
Four gallons is NOT big enough for one clownfish. Many people recommend 10+ gallons, 6 being the minimum. Do not get a 4.5 gallon tank for your clownfish if you want to get it. It will just end up being harder to maintain than the correct size for a clownfish. Do your research.
I heard that you can if you cycle the water and the water quality is good. Smaller thanks are easier to maintain. The clownfish may grow out of it eventually
Protein skimmer aren't necessary in saltwater tanks, but they do help. With a tank that small, weekly water changes will suffice. You mix your salt with RO water until it's salinity (using a refracometer) reaches your desired salinity level. Most reefers shoot for 1.024 - 1.026 salinity.
As much as I like the idea of this. I find it hard to think it is that easy. Especial when All the information that I have been told was you can not add corals until the tank is mature.
Protein skimmers are never a requirement, they are nice to have, but not required. There are very few, if any, that would work properly for a tank this size. Water changes after a good stirring would be better.
Corals don't require a certain tank size, they aren't like fish or other inverts that will get stressed if they can't move around, you can keep them in a 3-5 gallon tank fine as long as you maintain water parameters and have good flow and lighting. - You don't 'need' to feed corals, they get their energy from a good light source but they do have mouths that can eat small foods like mysis or phytoplankton if you choose to feed them.
nano reef tanks are by NO means easy. Matter of fact, the smaller it is, the harder to keep stable water parameters. also the video did not mention to WAIT! before adding corals and fish
They have reef safe super glue available, but I've heard super glue being used without any toxic issues. Gluing them secures them to rockwork and avoiding them falling off from current or small animals that will knock them over.
This does NOT, infact, come with everything you need. This is a fun little tank for someone who is already into the hobby and has the support equipment. Also 3 gallons is not suitable space for a clownfish. Im also suspicious of the par values of the LED light being sufficient for corals. Let me list the things it does not have. What it DOES come with are quality components however and I like the product selection. Theyve upgraded the salt now to AF REEF salt due to the SEA salt not being sufficient for coral as well. >> more below. The price on the website is $299.99. You'll spend at least an additional $200-300 getting the equipment needed to actually set this tank up and run it properly and safely for your animals. 1. 4 stage RODI filtration unit for making clean 0 TDS water. 2. Test kits (ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, ph, phosphates, calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity) 3. Salinity meter/gauge/refractometer/digital pen. You must test salinity some how, it doesnt have that. 4. Any filter media at all besides the bio balls. You'll need filter media, floss, pads, or some other media to capture and remove suspended detritus. 5. An Automatic Top Off, which while not an absolute requirement, will save your bacon if you forget to top off for 2 or 3 days. Without one this is a daily hands on tank.
You must not know anything about clownfish because made you not swim at all. My two Clownfish live in a 40-gallon breeder and they never leave the safety of their anemone. That's like getting upset because somebody put a mandarin goby in a 5 gallon tank even though mandarin goby fish don't swim they just kind of threw it on the ground. There are plenty of fish that don't swim and just hang out in one spot.
If you are doing a water change every day, why add freshwater as well? Surely there's "an amount" of evap, but I can't imagine that making a difference.
Basic science. If fresh water evaporates, the salt concentration goes up in the tank. So taking out some of that water and replacing it with premixed salt water will take out more salt than is being put back in. Within just a couple of days of this happening, the tank parameters will crash. Enjoy the science lesson.
@@treyhudson73 I guess you only water change like for like, so for example 1ltr out, 1ltr in, each day. Top up at a different time of day so it mixes properly and always top up to a very specific line…. But still keep on testing SG intermittently too.
Good video Mathew. People just like to be critical of everything, but i asure you none of them would put themselves, content, or their tanks out there to be compared or critized. But, I think ..alot of people watch this with all brs content and don't realize who the target audience is in a video like this, and that your goal is appeal to non-reefers in a broad sense and encourage them into the hobby which bennefits everone. Having said that, I still can't help but laugh, when & how you say "..WhAT a GODsend!" In reference to the bag of bio magnet clarifier. 😂 ...seems silly to us, BUT, if it was your first ever tank,.. excited to see your reef in a box and now see a scene from the mummy & the wrath of Rah instead😮..thats how you would look at that bag.😊
@@Arborpress yeah I’m learning more about it but the only thing I don’t like about this video is he didn’t explain how to get to change the water. A lot of our even how to mix everything together to make it work.
Making saltwater requires RODI water. Basically tap wafer thats stripped of all its elements for almost nothing but h20. You add your salt (whatever brand you want) and mix it inside a bucket or bin until you reach your desired salinity level . You use a refractometer device to measure how salty the water (salinity) is where you want to stop. I keep my water at 1.025 salinity. Some people keep theirs at 1.026 or even lower at 1.020. You only need to mix the salt for about 15-30min.
I like Matt's videos (I like Thomas' product reviews as well), but this one is not very good. And isn't actually a good way to setup a tank. I wish BRS would let Matt make more content like he used to when he had his own channel or was still working for Marine Depot. Quality of videos over quantity. But I think BRS cares more for attracting new hobbyists than attracting veteran hobbyists these days, and doesn't care how long they actually stay in the hobby. And I agree, the voice sounds very stilted and unnatural.
I love when reef hobbyists show zero knowledge of salt water microbiology. Please tell us more about the “nitrogen cycle” in a closed environment. The knowledge and kindness from older aquarists is so lost in so many in the hobby today. We’re COOKED as a hobby. COOKED. PICK UP A MARINE MICROBIOLOGY TEXT BOOK.
It looks awesome... however this is a bit misleading... having a new tank like that it won't take a couple of hours to set up... nor a couple of 100 dollars... It is irresponsible to let people think they can keep all these animals like that...
Please. If you appreciate animal life do not add any fish to this small tank. Most people would end up making mistakes in water quality and killing their livestock.
this is the worst tanks, you cannot have a saltwater fish in such small tank, saltwater fish need space they are ocean creatures, this is insane how small that is
No this is ridiculous saltwater people... Saltwater aquarium builders know that these all in ones are just recipes for disaster if anything fails for a period of a day or more you're done... Don't take this shortcut learn to do aquariums properly and ecologically
i'm an expert in freshwater and never touched saltwater BUT i know damn well there's no way you can do a saltwater tank in a day
why not?

As much as I like the idea of this. I find it hard to think it is that easy. Especial when All the information that I have been told was you can not add corals until the tank is mature.
Think that comes down to experience I've seen reefers do it fine but if your new it's better to work through all the beginning stages
What lighting do you use. I know the corals need special lighting.
Do we need a Protein Skimmer for this setup?
I have a 5 gallon Fluval salt water kit and I still bought a nano skimmer. Don't need but essential 😊
No you dont need, the one cup water change daily does the job of a protein skimmer 👍
Protein skimmers are never a requirement, they are nice to have, but not required. There are very few, if any, that would work properly for a tank this size. Water changes after a good stirring would be better.
Change the ceramic balls out to a 30 PPI sponge for beneficial bacteria growth.
Sounds like chat GPT is on BRS pay roll now.
How did he create the saltwater?
Can corals survive in a small fish tank? I mean how do you feed them? And can’t they survive without water currents?
Corals don't require a certain tank size, they aren't like fish or other inverts that will get stressed if they can't move around, you can keep them in a 3-5 gallon tank fine as long as you maintain water parameters and have good flow and lighting. - You don't 'need' to feed corals, they get their energy from a good light source but they do have mouths that can eat small foods like mysis or phytoplankton if you choose to feed them.
What kind of light did you used?
Where have you got this
Wow looks really good.
Does it not need a skimmer
When is this Deskmate pkg going to be back in stack at BRS? Thanks.
do you have to use RO water or can you use declorinated water?
4 gallons for a clown fish not to mention you have it on its own?
Can i run a 15 inch cube saltwater aquarium with HOB filter??
Can I use this tank as a fresh water tank instead?
That would be way better actually
nano reef tanks are by NO means easy. Matter of fact, the smaller it is, the harder to keep stable water parameters. also the video did not mention to WAIT! before adding corals and fish

I wish BRS would let Matt make more content like he used to when he had his own channel or was still working for Marine Depot. Quality of videos over quantity. But I think BRS cares more for attracting new hobbyists than attracting veteran hobbyists these days, and doesn't care how long they actually stay in the hobby. And I agree, the voice sounds very stilted and unnatural.
A magnetic algae scraper!? On acrylic? yeah right 😂
I love when reef hobbyists show zero knowledge of salt water microbiology. Please tell us more about the “nitrogen cycle” in a closed environment. The knowledge and kindness from older aquarists is so lost in so many in the hobby today. We’re COOKED as a hobby. COOKED. PICK UP A MARINE MICROBIOLOGY TEXT BOOK.
Honestly, love your voice generally, but when you talk this way i feel like im five years old. Please use your own voice
This is just a giant ad.. Thanks for getting in the way of me finding actual information. Rude.
❤❤❤😊
It looks awesome... however this is a bit misleading... having a new tank like that it won't take a couple of hours to set up... nor a couple of 100 dollars... It is irresponsible to let people think they can keep all these animals like that...
Why do I get the feeling that the superglue in the tank is not a good idea?
Sounds like a robot
🤔
Very nice small reef tank indeed!!!
I'm going to be uploading a promotion video today. Your channel will be featured on it. Hope this helps 👍🐠🐟💦
tell d newbies that its not dat easy. u made it sound dat its just plug & play
This seems cruelly small for fish
I wish they would tell you . That this tank gets scratched really quick 🤮
coral are living organisms....and you're gluing them down permanently?????
Please. If you appreciate animal life do not add any fish to this small tank. Most people would end up making mistakes in water quality and killing their livestock.
this is the worst tanks, you cannot have a saltwater fish in such small tank, saltwater fish need space they are ocean creatures, this is insane how small that is
No this is ridiculous saltwater people... Saltwater aquarium builders know that these all in ones are just recipes for disaster if anything fails for a period of a day or more you're done...
Don't take this shortcut learn to do aquariums properly and ecologically
First of that’s way to small for any ocean fish second of $300! Complete scam you can start a 20 gallon reef for $200!!!
so cheesy and so advertise-y lolz XDDD
Nice
Set up?
More like dink $1000 into it and watch it fill with algae
This video had 2 different tanks smh
Wow are they beginners coral 🤣
Dude you're a spoof if I ever saw one..
Holy cringe..

I see you don't even like the AI helping with your sentencing
Wut
This is BS

Bro is that a fake fish come on now

This is crap

Agreed
That sand will kill your fish 🐠 don’t use it!!!!!
Can you back this claim up with facts?
You can set up all with fish and coral in one day and f**k the next day. RIP
