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
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.
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 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
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 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.
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.
@@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!
@@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. 😁
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
Excellent! do you mind making a video for the equipment you are using to maintain this aquarium? such as RODI system, heater, powerheads, skimmer, dosser etc.
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.
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
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 ???
Mega 🤩 Das wird richtig Geil 😊 interessant wäre auch mal was so ein Projekt wenns fertig ist gekostet hat ( natürlich ohne irgendwelche Rabatte 😅 ) Lg 🤘🏼
You can make any tank size work really, you just have to know what you can stock in it. I have a 4 gallon cube, and I have mostly soft corals in it, but I also have some macro algae, and a small bubble tip anemone. You can really create fascinating little environments if you put in a little research and are willing to maintain it. Here's my stock list for my 4 gallon: (Keep in mind, I clean virtually daily, do bio filter rinses every few days, do a weekly water change of about 20% of the water, and clean the pump and pump bay at least every 2 weeks) 1 tiger pistol shrimp 1 yellow rose goby 1 blue neon cleaner goby 1 masked goby 1 pom pom anemone crab 5 sexy shrimp 1 feather duster worm 1 emerald crab 5 or 6 hermit crabs 3 or 4 snails 3 tree leather corals 1 red rhodactis mushroom 1 green rhodactis mushroom 4 golden Gonzo rhodactis mushrooms 3 small colonies of zoa mushrooms 1 small blastomussa coral 1 toadstool leather coral 2 yuma mushroom corals 5 inch piece of dragon's breath macro algae The entire tank has become the den of the pistol shrimp, and he has entrances all over the place. He is constantly renovating his den, and it's fun to watch! This sounds like a lot to maintain, especially with feeding daily, but I only really put about 3 hours into maintenance each week, spread over the entire week.

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. 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
The elegance coral is a show stopper! Like it is an angel from heaven

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?
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. 😍
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!!
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!
Thanks for sharing the reality of keeping a reef tank.. Cheers!!!
Fabulous! Your aesthetic in regard to this hobby/persuit is very sophisticated.
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
You're a genius man...Simply Amazing!!!
this video is like...therapeutic i stg. i love the filterless concept.
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.
dude... this tank is breath taking!
Thank you, make sure you watch some more recent videos! This only documents like the first 1.5 years I believe. Currently at 3 years! 🙌

Nice!! Keep me updated on your tank, Jerald!
Good job bro , respect from Italy .
OMG this one is very very very lovely salt water tank mr.

Love it! The little fish are darling!!!!
They are! :)
Marvelous and mesmerizing.
Loved your work. Love from India 🇮🇳 ❤
Fkin fkin fkin awesome
This is so beautiful ❤.
I just bought my 1st tank .I am excited ❤
Good luck!! It’s so much fun! Keep me posted on your aquarium journey! 👏
We can learn how magnificent our ocean out there, how the ecosystem is so great.
What are the pros and cons of not using protein skimmer? Do you dose daily? What brands u use for dosing.
Bro i salute u for ur patience
Wow no filtration is wild nice setup

What a beautiful tank.
Thinking about my next tank this AM. This is great.
Can’t express how much did I like this video. Tons of thanks to you and your work 🙏
My dream reef tank which I never succeeded . It just looked so calming
This was so tranquil it almost put me to sleep i mean that as compliment beautiful tabk
How did you stick the corals ?
Good relaxing music in the film.
Excellent! do you mind making a video for the equipment you are using to maintain this aquarium? such as RODI system, heater, powerheads, skimmer, dosser etc.
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 ?
I know I have said it before but I absolutely love this Aquarium. Fine job.
how do you control phosphate? how often do you water change?
Beautiful corals.

What's your cleaning schedule like? How often do you water change? And what's the dosing on this?
Im also curious ;)
I absolutely love this tank and I appreciate your beautiful video with the commentary.
Much appreciated!
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.
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 🙂
tks from Brazil to share!
Mega 🤩 Das wird richtig Geil 😊 interessant wäre auch mal was so ein Projekt wenns fertig ist gekostet hat ( natürlich ohne irgendwelche Rabatte 😅 ) Lg 🤘🏼
WoW what an amazing tank! only to find you didn't spend hundreds on filtration too. Amazing
Thanks, Chris! :D
This looks expensive and beautiful at the same time. Awesome job 👌
What a lovely tank 😊😍
Love the music…and obviously the tank 👍🏻👍🏻
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
youre reef is beautiful and i give you a big like
Thank you, Greetje!
can i ask how it is called the beautifull rock with worms at time 9:20?
Christmas tree rock :)
Im just learning about all of this. At 9:26 what is that??
Hello I am learning here, can you explain what is happening at 12:21? That rocks is covered with what and how many things? What are they?
Sure, that is called a Christmas Rock.
Such a beautiful simple tank!
Thank you! 🙌 Can’t wait to see how the corals will grow, the tank isn’t even a year old yet. 🤩
perfect tank
Wow what a beautiful tank.😍
Wow 🤩 that’s beautiful!
So beautiful
It's just absolutely beautiful! I would love a reef tank just like this but Im so afraid!
Thank you! What are you afraid of?
This is how you get little peace of sea in the house.😍😍
Exactly!! :D
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. :)
what is the light intensity and how long is it on during the day on this tank ?
Your tank is gorgeous. I would love to have one on a smaller scale.
Thank you! Try it, it's fun!
You can make any tank size work really, you just have to know what you can stock in it. I have a 4 gallon cube, and I have mostly soft corals in it, but I also have some macro algae, and a small bubble tip anemone. You can really create fascinating little environments if you put in a little research and are willing to maintain it.
Here's my stock list for my 4 gallon:
(Keep in mind, I clean virtually daily, do bio filter rinses every few days, do a weekly water change of about 20% of the water, and clean the pump and pump bay at least every 2 weeks)
1 tiger pistol shrimp
1 yellow rose goby
1 blue neon cleaner goby
1 masked goby
1 pom pom anemone crab
5 sexy shrimp
1 feather duster worm
1 emerald crab
5 or 6 hermit crabs
3 or 4 snails
3 tree leather corals
1 red rhodactis mushroom
1 green rhodactis mushroom
4 golden Gonzo rhodactis mushrooms
3 small colonies of zoa mushrooms
1 small blastomussa coral
1 toadstool leather coral
2 yuma mushroom corals
5 inch piece of dragon's breath macro algae
The entire tank has become the den of the pistol shrimp, and he has entrances all over the place. He is constantly renovating his den, and it's fun to watch!
This sounds like a lot to maintain, especially with feeding daily, but I only really put about 3 hours into maintenance each week, spread over the entire week.
12:28 What are those mini orange trees?
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.
This is nuts!!!
One question do you even have a filter or a skimmer ?
I do not!
What a wonderful video! Very inspiring! 💙✨
1:32 I cannot find this exact tank, I am looking for something similar to this !
AWSOME video, thanks
Great channel. Calming for sure. What is the cabinet that your 40g sits on?
What is your filter for this tank canister or hang on filter? Thanks
No filtration :)
What are your water test like? I ran a fish only take with only heat and water flow and it was very successful.
What brand tank is this? I think this reef is very well done! Great job!
Wow! Love your tank! 🙌🏆
Awesome dude! Gratz!! This tank is 10mm glass tickness?
that is lot of work , great job!
