It’s incredible, the music, the quality of the video, how you explain everything, it’s like a film, very calm and relaxing, the only problem is that video ends.
@@faizalamsahib8040 lol yeah okay. Say that to all the hard corals in that tank XD You may be able to get away with that for some time with softies, but you wont get away with no water changes. You have to reintroduce components of the water that the hard corals are uptaking such as calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, and then a host of other trace elements depending on the hard corals. XD
Your tank is really beautifull, congrats. It amazes me to see that there are no sump, skimmer, auto water reposition....it also encoirages me to start a new tank again after a few years away from this wonderfull hobby.
@@ewok4951 i do small protein skimmer, small wavemaker and hob refugium and can grow SPS no problem. no giant sump needed. i put a small ball of chaeto and it keeps everything in check.
im doing into salt water aquariums and stuff because my family and I are going to do a Nano tank competition to see who can make to best Nano aquarium and these videos are very insightful and entertaining
The opposite. I clean the glass once a week, takes about 5 minutes. Feed the fish once a day. And do a small water change every three weeks which takes 30 mins or so, that’s all! :)
Awesome build :) Being a reefer is more about the journey and how we negotiate the hurdles we encounter along the way. Everyone wishes for smooth sailing all of the time, but then it wouldn't be as interesting or engaging, especially when we attempt to create these little worlds of living organisms that are always changing and growing.
Yeah that honestly surprised me how well it turned out! Although he could have used coral dip so he didn't get that flat worm infestation, because they are toxic contrary to what some people say
I got out of the hobby almost 20 years ago, and I would often dream about my tank somehow continuing to run without a filter. I can’t believe this is even possible, but it makes sense. Father Fish preaches this method for freshwater aquariums.
@@T0MM0-Lds i have to focus on studying and I am really young I am 12 years old but I still will make an Aquarium when I am capable of it my parents say I have to study for now
@@leviheichou305 then I'm 100% with your parents! Study first, play later! It got me the job I love and I look back and realise it was all worth it. When you have a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life 😊 Final thing, when you have a job and you're absolutely filling the bank, then can you build a mega-aquarium 😉 Take it easy, kid!
this is just what i need; i have an empty diy 50 gal 12 inch high aquarium that has been sitting empty for 2 years. thank you for giving me this inspiration
I once had a very bad green hair algae break out. It was so bad that it looked like the rocks were head banging. I rented a sea hare from my lfs and with in a week it was completely gone. I bought urchins to keep it under control, but for some reason they would come across my frags, and just take them right off the rock. The frags were glued, and I was generous with that glue, but they kept knocking my corals off the rock. The sea hare was the size of a childs fist and it never messed with any of my coral frags. Any way. this is a beautiful tank. Well done.
it is so beautiful. I started one in July, yesterday I added some beginner corals, I can not find the information about the light to use. i have a regular and a blue one in the tank. How many hours I need to turn on each one and do I need to turn it off at night? Thanks
Beautiful tank. I had a tank like 5 years ago and have been thinking of getting back into the hobby. I saw your light which looks like the Maxspect Razor light I used to have. Many issues with that thing. Not surprised yours failed. Prolly melted capacitor like in mine.
I started off with a Giessemann light on this tank, they look very similar indeed 😛. I’m now using EcoTech Radions and they are so much better in my opinion.
Hello. One of the best videos I've ever seen in aquaristics. Not only is the length just right, no, the individual steps are also well illustrated. Without specifying this, simply addressed the problems. This is how an instructional video should be. Thanks for the work and effort. We operate an AquaMedic Blenny only with flow pumps and heaters. This also works very well as long as the fish stock remains small. However, I have one question: How often is the water changed in your aquarium? Look forward to more videos. Thanks
Ive been getting bored with my 5 goldfish and 3 turtles and have been wanting a new pet and tank/habitat and after seeing this video i kinda want a reef habitat now its soo awesome and relaxing to watch way better then watching a plain freshwater tank with goldfish
This tank is beautiful but don't diss a good freshwater aquascape. They can look equally stunning. If you're unhappy with your pets that probably means you shouldn't go out and buy more. Get passionate about the ones you have first
How do you do this without any filtration, what is ur maintenance schedule like, interested in how you are doing this without anything cleaning the water, I see u only have 3 or 4 fish uh but this tank is awesome, I'm about to maybe do a micro reef tank with no fish just crabs and snails maybe a shrimp and maybe a watchman goby paired with a shrimp but yeah. HOW DOES IT EVEN WORK AND BE SO CLEAN WITHOUT ANY THE FILTRATION, WHAT ALL DO YOU DO WITH THIS TANK ???
The rocks he used were surely dry. If you use dry rock,you avoid to bring any unwanted hitchhikers. If you use life rock,your maturing process will be muuuuch faster.
How did the water changes from so dusty into so clear in a matter of second? right before you put the wavemaker, what did you do? did you put some kind of bacteria or did you let it rest for a few hours?
awesome video, only concern i have is the foam that you left in the tank. is it fish safe, or will it leach out chemicals from being submerged for so long?
Its made to protect the glass from rocks and wood that’s placed inside the aquarium as well as equalizing pressure underneath the tank, it’s made for aquariums. 3.5 years in now, no problem. ;)
So, is this basically a Walstad method salt tank? Your coral controls your nutrient levels along with some water changes I assume?? No floss or socks, no skimmer, etc...?
@@DannysAquariums Thanks you! I would love to put together a reef tank of my own some day! Till then I will watch your content and live vicariously through it. 😁
Great tank...im puzzled though...no filtration...how do u cope with good water parameters like amonia nitrite n nitrates?? Help me understand this coz i want it to be my next fish project...thanks
I don’t test my water so I’m not sure if they are in check or not. I just observe the living animals and if I see anything off I make changes, but this barely happens. When I had the green hair algae breakout I suspected nitrates and phosphates to be high, so I increased water changes and fed less.
G Man, he and anyone should add things especially fish a little at a time(weeks) so your biological filtration(sand and rocks) can grow to handle ammonia and nitrite. If you watch his series, you will see he added coral first which is fine because they don't add that much ammonia to the system. He also does water changes and this will help lower the ammonia and nitrite levels and replenish some of the chemicals.
Mega 🤩 Das wird richtig Geil 😊 interessant wäre auch mal was so ein Projekt wenns fertig ist gekostet hat ( natürlich ohne irgendwelche Rabatte 😅 ) Lg 🤘🏼
Thinking of moving away from freshwater to saltwater. I would love to set up a reef tank the right way! So how often do you do water changes with no filtration? What is the goal of no filtration? I feel like I'm missing something...
If you understand the chain reaction that happens in nature, you will find out you can keep a reef tank in a similar way without mechanical filtration. My tanks rely on biological filtration, through processes that involve beneficial bacteria that naturally live in the water and on the reef. These bacteria and other microorganisms take care of the waste. Nitrogen cycle! I do a 10-15% water change every two to three weeks now. Feel free to ask any questions you may have!! 😁
After watching a David Attenborough documentary I was under the impression that all corals are basically at war with their neighbours at all times, spitting out their stomachs onto each other in an effort to get more turf... no idea if this is the case in aquarium tanks though 🤷🏼♂️
Its just wow...im sorry but can i possibly know how did you manage to keep water parameter in check without using filter etc..what routine do you have...it would be a valuable lesson to me..thanks in advance...
The system is capable of creating a balance between different parameters on it’s own without any interference with filtration, just like the ocean. All I do is clean the glass every now and then and do a small water change (~10%) every 2-3 weeks.

What % weekly wc did you have to do to keep this system this good 👀
I was wondering..
How much the electric bill? In mexico I pay A LOT for just a 120 litre marine tank,
Great job!
I did not see any info about how you install or add filtration system on this tank. 🤔
What is that fish that looks like it is made out of coral?
Please make a video about how to maintenance this shallow reef tanks weekly and monthly.. because i wanna build one.. Thanks, Danny!
Will do!!
@@DannysAquariums Dont wanna be stingy but can you do a price list?
@@joelcriollo5919 for sure! Stay tuned. :)
I would love to know as well. Thanks for sharing 💯
Yes can u
It’s incredible, the music, the quality of the video, how you explain everything, it’s like a film, very calm and relaxing, the only problem is that video ends.
My thoughts exactly.
I'm amazed by this tank, with no filtration and only 2 aeration on each side. Love the tank mate! Simplicity!
Can someone explain to me how that works? How frequent are the water changes to maintain parameters?
@@tedo6924
Bro, it's salt waters coral reef tank. No need to change like fresh water tank.
@@faizalamsahib8040 you still need to do water changes on a saltwater tank you chop
@@faizalamsahib8040 you’re so far off 😂 since this guy isn’t running a sump or filter he’s most likely doing water changes every weekend
@@faizalamsahib8040 lol yeah okay. Say that to all the hard corals in that tank XD You may be able to get away with that for some time with softies, but you wont get away with no water changes.

Also no heater? Really?
It has a heater
I've been going sumpless and preaching that for years. Thank you for proving it. Beautiful tank.
So just protein skimmer and wavemaker?
@@ewok4951 i do small protein skimmer, small wavemaker and hob refugium and can grow SPS no problem. no giant sump needed. i put a small ball of chaeto and it keeps everything in check.
@@alexvids9232
What is chaeto?
im doing into salt water aquariums and stuff because my family and I are going to do a Nano tank competition to see who can make to best Nano aquarium and these videos are very insightful and entertaining
I'm amazed how clean this tank is without any filtration. Takes a lot of time to keep it clean like this👌
I was thinking the exact same thing. I have a 40 cube packed with filtration, it must be a lot of work to keep this one clean
The opposite. I clean the glass once a week, takes about 5 minutes. Feed the fish once a day. And do a small water change every three weeks which takes 30 mins or so, that’s all! :)
Yeah well I see you don't have that much fish in your tank and that's why it save a lot of time cleaning. But it looks very good mate!!
Awesome build :) Being a reefer is more about the journey and how we negotiate the hurdles we encounter along the way. Everyone wishes for smooth sailing all of the time, but then it wouldn't be as interesting or engaging, especially when we attempt to create these little worlds of living organisms that are always changing and growing.
This was so calming to watch whilst also learning.
I’m just starting to look into growing a reef tank so this was super helpful. 😍
What are the pros and cons of not using protein skimmer? Do you dose daily? What brands u use for dosing.
Amazing tank as always, love how you started with corals first with little bioload then added the fish later, worked out really well! 👌
Yeah that honestly surprised me how well it turned out! Although he could have used coral dip so he didn't get that flat worm infestation, because they are toxic contrary to what some people say
Dude, I'm so sorry about your light but what a fantastic job keep it all alive and bringing it back up to this level of vibrancy and growth!
This reminds me of Aqua Splendors shallow reef, I love his aquarium and how he takes the time to keep everyone updated on it's progress.
His tank is so cool!

What's your cleaning schedule like? How often do you water change? And what's the dosing on this?
Im also curious ;)
how do you control phosphate? how often do you water change?
Thanks for sharing the reality of keeping a reef tank.. Cheers!!!
this video is like...therapeutic i stg. i love the filterless concept.
Fabulous! Your aesthetic in regard to this hobby/persuit is very sophisticated.
Hello, hope you and the family are good. Hey so i can just use rocks sand heater and wavemaker to have a few fish in a 40 gallon ?
This video done my heart good I just bought a 75 gallon saltwater stand tank sump fish and all for 600
Nice!! Keep me updated on your tank, Jerald!
there is only one word... MAJESTIC!
You're a genius man...Simply Amazing!!!
Nice one, why no brown algae on sand? What kind of sand u r using or is crab and goby that keep cleaning the sand? Thx
Love this background on one of my favorite tanks! I especially love that featherduster rock!
Me too! ;)
Great to see you put the rock first then the sand, not many people do it

We can learn how magnificent our ocean out there, how the ecosystem is so great.
Love it! The little fish are darling!!!!
They are! :)
Bro i salute u for ur patience
Good job bro , respect from Italy .
My dream reef tank which I never succeeded . It just looked so calming
How are you doing this without a protein skimmer or a sump ? You are only using the rock and sand as filtration ?
Correct, bacteria in the sand and rocks take care of everything! Just like nature.
When did you start adding invertebrates? How many and what kinds please?
Also how did you avoid the algae?
💖Love it so peaceful with soft relaxing 🎶music
How did you stick the corals ?
So so nice and not a million fish to distract you!
Did you add sponges they are super good for your aquarium and look really nice.
I did not, I love them! But know they can cause problems as well. :)
Def ill sub to u after this vid bro.. WOW the cinematic views are on another level tbh💯💯

Can’t express how much did I like this video. Tons of thanks to you and your work 🙏
Have you thought about maybe using a hang on back filter hidden behind the rocks to just polish the water and maybe add some carbon etc?
No, the tank is doing well as it is. Don't change a winning team ;)
What are your water test like? I ran a fish only take with only heat and water flow and it was very successful.
This is how you get little peace of sea in the house.😍😍
Exactly!! :D

Sure, that is called a Christmas Rock.
Thinking about my next tank this AM. This is great.
You don't use a sump or a protein skimmer? How do you keep it clean and healthy for the fish and coral?
Correct, no filtration! The key is finding a balance and nature will take care of the rest. No interference from any mechanical filtration required.

One question do you even have a filter or a skimmer ?
I do not!
Beautiful aquarium. How can this be done without any kind of filter? Does it involve daily maintenance work?
I started with doing maintenance once a week. Now it’s just once a month ;)
Do we need to maintain water temperature and salinity ?
What about cleaning ?
you're tank is like a dream for me 😊 just one thing from someone who is just learning salty 😊 i didn't see the filter?!!
Correct, my aquariums run without filtration 🙂

Too gorgeous!! How can you manage and get rid of NO2, NO3 ?
Weekly water changes!
hello , i have two question , did you test the water , and did you add buffer (ph,kh ....)
I don’t test my water often, I don’t want to chase numbers if everything looks fine. :) I dose Calcium, Magnesium, Minerals and KH with an auto doser.
@@DannysAquariums thank for your reply nice reef ;)
Do you not need a filter? Just a wave maker and water changes?
That’s how I’ve been running this tank for close to 5 years now, yep!
I love watching this channel,good stuff Thanks.
Good relaxing music in the film.
can hammer and frogspawn coral be placed next to each other? is it ok if they touch? i might do that too if its ok for more space
Hammer and frogspawn are generally fine. Torches can be an issue
After watching a David Attenborough documentary I was under the impression that all corals are basically at war with their neighbours at all times, spitting out their stomachs onto each other in an effort to get more turf... no idea if this is the case in aquarium tanks though 🤷🏼♂️
what are the little tubes in the back right around the 12:17 mark? Do those help keep the water parameters in check?
They are tubes connecting to a dosing pump which dose minerals and things for corals
Hi where did you get the tank from? What is the thickness of the glass and is it tempered? Thanks
Beautiful setup!
This looks expensive and beautiful at the same time. Awesome job 👌
I absolutely love this tank and I appreciate your beautiful video with the commentary.
Much appreciated!

The system is capable of creating a balance between different parameters on it’s own without any interference with filtration, just like the ocean. All I do is clean the glass every now and then and do a small water change (~10%) every 2-3 weeks.
