Thank you for watching! What are your thoughts on Saltwater? I really want a saltwater predator pond!
Live rocks hold bacteria right? How will the ammonia be removed without filter pads or any additional media?
Can’t wait for the saltwater pool pond
A small sock of filter floss would make the water crystal clear. Very cool video love the tank too!!
I've always wanted a saltwater aquarium but I've been too afraid to set one up. Thanks for this video, you've made the whole idea much less scary for me!
My bae, the fish die
Nice DIY. I know zero about saltwater aquariums. That was a great way to learn something. 🐠🐡🐚 Gina Hetlage
I still can’t believe you got to meet MD! That’s sooooo crazy. You are doing great things in the hobby!
😅 I'm so mad I never thought of this I could have saved so much money! Great video
Thank you Scott for this video for saltwater tanks. I've always wanted one but have been to much of a chicken to just do it. You made it look so easy. But how much of the frozen cube did you feed them? I've always been a bit of an over feeder but I wouldn't want to do that with a saltwater tank.
Can you use sea water?
the peppermint shrimp and nassarius snail will die there is not enough food for them unless you overfeed until algae forms..
That’s what I came here to comment on. Also using tap water basically killed off any good bacteria that would have been in the sand and rocks. Should have used RODI or de chlorinated the water first. System is not cycled at all. It’s going to be very hard on those fish and probably will lose all the invertebrates. I have nothing against diy systems but please do it right if you are going to try and teach people.
Need to add mechanical filtration too
What was that lil red fish with the big personallity shown at the begining of the video ? It was adorable.
That was quick and cool❤😂
Can u please do a video showing everything u used in this setup please. Salt, sand, etc. I have always wanted to do a salt water tank but I don't know where to begin. I just found u today and I am so glad. I have several fish tanks. I love your videos
Do NOT go this route he did. This could make for a neat temporary (lasting a month at most) project but this will go badly. You can't cheap out with saltwater aquariums. There's so much information out there, but in short.. watch BulkReefSupply videos for beginners. Don't try to replicate this guys jerry rig.
always love the budget stuff as its great to learn from and breeding on a cheap - however that container looks slightly flimsy will the water load not overtime warp the plastic and potentially cause issues.
Why not just buy an aquarium looks kinda ugly and small.
15 comment awesome video today Chris you are the best ever and happy Tuesday 💯👍💪💪👍💯👍
I came over from MD fish but definitely enjoying you lr channel too!
Have you tried using rinsed chunks of cement as live-rock? When I can’t make and rinse my own, I go scout out baseball to football sized chunks. Been doing it for years.
I prefer to get ocean washed urbanite when I can find it. It has pretty, rounded shapes.
I also used rid x as my starter before quick start came around
Maybe you can build next time a transparent baby tub aquarium, with a sinked ship thema.
Does this actually work?
How about making a small brine shrimp aquarium, like a 10 gallon
How many gallons is that? Cool tank by the way, might do it with freshwater.
❤❤❤
Where’s the baby shark
Can you purchase prepared salt water? Temp?
yes but you gotta search for it
Local fish stores usually sell rodi saltwater by the gallon. Temp should be stable at 78 to 80
This has to be the most ridiculous DIY fish tank I've ever seen lol, watched the whole thing for laughs. Technically this 'can' work, but FFS .. just spend the extra $40-80 on an glass tank lol. Also any beneficial bacteria you had in the rock or sand got f'd once you started adding straight salt to your fish bin.
I take it you ended up eating your Octopus, can you at least tell us if he was good?
