    When I was younger, I remember my family was very poor but I bought 2 clown fish with my savings, and didn’t know they live on seawater. Every week my father would take me to the beach and collect seawater, we would wait for the sand to settle down and scoop the seawater up. I miss my dad

    Finally, there's someone that really cares about this hobby and admits that tanks under 30cm are TOO SMALL to keep fishes !!!!! No matter who says that it's 1 fish every 5 gallons, those are only an excuse for shops to sell more!! ... these tanks can only host corals in my opinion and I'm really happy to see that isn't my thought only. Thank you Seafriendlyreef for the good content! It's very important to make ppl and new hobbies understand how to take care of their animals. Well done buddy :)

    Wouldn't it have been better to buy a fluval evo for a beginner build? It costs the same as the ebay tank you bought but it's twice as big, comes with a sump compartment to hide the pump/heater and support some media, plus it's bigger so it can support fish. It comes with a light that can grow all the softies & lps you have in there too. Perfect entry level aquarium.

      @@YvoYanYeeWon And? The evo light is still good enough for all the corals he has in there and you gain double the real estate for more corals and fish. The evo is superior for beginners and it all comes pre-packaged so no hunting around.

    • @corey1788
      @corey1788 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@porcu12345 nearly every review of the evo, the lights and pump have had to be replaced. You’re better off buying a simple tank and buying what you need to begin with instead of paying for an all in one then modding it and spending triple the initial cost.

    • @porcu12345
      @porcu12345 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@corey1788 That's simply not true. The pump is perfectly fine, and most people are going to add a powerhead to their set up regardless so it isn't a replacement. The stock light can handle softies and LPS, the only reason it gets upgraded is when people want to A) grow SPS or B) improve colours of all corals, and then they are typically upgrading it with a light that costs more than the entire Evo set up (A1 Prime being the most common). Most people start with the Evo then upgrade over time as they develop as a marine aquarist. They don't buy the Evo then immediately replace everything.
      The whole point of the Evo is that it's a perfect start point. Everything comes in one bundle so there's no risk of buying the wrong equipment or things you don't need. The baseline equipment is solid enough to handle every entry level coral and a lot of mid-difficulty corals, which is exactly what a beginner needs. It's an extremely cheap and efficient way to get into the marine aquarium hobby. They can buy their $200 lights, skimmers and auto dosers when they are ready for the next step, which is likely when they'll want a bigger aquarium anyway.

    Hello all reading, I am trying to do some research on how to start an aquarium as it is going to be my first attempt. I'm thinking something around 40-75 gallons. I would like my tank to home a pair of Clownfish, a Watchman Goby and Tiger Pistol Shrimp pair, Royal Gramma Basslet, and possibly a Starry Blenny. I'm not sure if I want to do any coral or anything as I am just starting. Just needing some advice on how you guys would start with the tank. Is 40-75 gallons enough space for the fish listed above? I wouldn't want to put all those fish into a tank that they wouldn't feel comfortable in size wise. Should I start with corals or should I add them later on into the tank if I do end up having some? I'm a couple months out of jumping into starting the project, so budget is not a huge issue as I will be saving up and setting some money aside for the next couple of months, so when it comes closer to time to start the tank I can purchase everything at once. Any advice and tips will be much appreciated. If anyone reading has experience with any of the fish listed above I would love some insight into the ownership of the fish and will appreciate any feedback. Thanks all 🙏

    My advice is that if your unsure about your water quality, do more water changes and use an aditive or two. My local shop suggested Fuel from AquaVitro, I also use Reef Energy Plus Coral Nutrition from Red Sea. Together, they cost me less than $40 American. PH (water purity) and Kh (Alkalinity) can also heavily impact coral health, so a good reef buffer wouldn't be a bad idea, I saw one at my local pet shop for another $15 American. Buying rocks from your local shop is going to be the cheapest and most convenient option, too. 1lb per gallon (.45kg per 4 liters) same with sand. This will also help buffer your system to keep that preferred PH and Kh.

    Just picked up a 30 gallon aquarium with a stand. I will be cleaning it out and then filling it to see if it has ANY leaks. Can’t wait to start a reef tank but I am in no rush at all. I know there are certain procedures that need to be taken care of first before corals or fish are added. Any recommendations on live rock/additives to help start my nitrogen cycle?

    Is the fan noisy, is there any noise from the lights? The last time I had a tank was in the 1990s and it was noisy and hard to clean, some weird contraption under the gravel.. anyways, this looks awesome and I’d love to have that in my office! $300 US? I’d gladly pay $400 if somebody would set this up, but that sounds too cheap, aren’t those corals like $50 bucks each at least?

      Ich würde empfehlen erst mal das ganze mit phytoplankton zu versuchen. Im Endeffekt sind das auch cyanos , die die roten , ich weiß nicht genau , bekämpfen oder den Boden weg nehmen. Versuch das mal . Eine andere Möglichkeit ist das kurzwellige Licht zu reduzieren. Hat bei mir geholfen. Das heißt blau , rblau vio und uv zu reduzieren. Was auch noch wunderbar geht, es gibt schnecken die sich von cyanos ernähren. Die gegen echt top ab. 1 oder 2 sollten bei dem becken reichen. Was ich bei meinem großen beobachtet habe, wenn mein po4 mit no3 nicht in relation steht , heißt wenn ein Wert zu niedrig oder zu hoch ist bekomm ich auch leichte cyano Flecken. Hoffe die Möglichkeiten reichen erst mal zum probieren. Lg
