Chronicles of Chris' Fishroom. How much more time and money do you think you've spent compared to salt? I've been thinking about setting one up. The initial cost seems a little prohibitive. I would want a reef tank making it even more expensive.

SALT WATER tank is the next step in the hobby I hope to learn a lot of you guys

Getting this exact tank! Can't wait to see how you all do.

Just want to say I love all of your content. I've had good and bad experiences with Fluval but I do intend to pick up this bad Larry today to start my first salt water rig. Loved how thorough the video was and like always I just enjoy your personality and way of presenting always useful information. You guys are awesome, thanks for the insight!

That thumbnail looked suspiciously like a saltwater tank... And then I find out it is a saltwater tank... And then that intro LOOOOL

Really enjoyed this unboxing. Looking forward to seeing your journey.

Lovely relationship you two have; And an awesome tank!

Ouch bare rock on glass bottom ! Such a fun video, I just can't wait to see how it develops ! : )

Once again..........I have now bought a tank because of your (and KKLemonade's video). I now have a Spec III and V....and just placed an order for an EVO to start my saltwater journey. Thanks!!

Great video I've alway wanted to do a salt tank but was a little intimidated by it..going to watch along & learn..Subbed her channel :)

Salt can be both wonderful and an expensive pain in the rear. The fish absolutely can be wonderful; I have a nice bunch in my 75 gal (beware, you'll want a larger tank for many things!), in addition to invertebrates ranging from reef lobsters and shrimp to snails, hermit crabs and mithrax crabs. Actually, most invertebrates are considered a part of the "clean-up crew" and are something you will not want to leave out! My fish include royal grammas, clowns, blue chromis and a couple of varieties I can't even name off-hand. I also have some soft coral of different varieties and even a scallop. Oh, and an urchin. So many fun little things! Load up and enjoy once you get that tank cycled, but of course you'll have to be careful when your tank is smaller and not really "mature" yet.. Water parameters can be a hassle, but thankfully there are many fish and invert varieties that aren't _too_ sensitive. Indeed, those are what I keep. Among the corals, the zoas (zoanthids) are the most forgiving in my experience, and two of the three kinds I have surviving right now are those.

seems good so far.

I was looking around and this looks like it might make a good frag tank. The lights 14000k. I like that honeycomb trim they did, because I hate seeing the waterline from the side and all the mess. I use to not like lids until I had to deal with so much dehydration. Love lids now as they reduce a whole lot of dehydration and it frames in the light so the aquarium glows so lights not leaking out up the walls and on the ceiling. But for those that like to take the top off it still looks good without it and you can hang a kessil light or whatever. That was a good idea they had on that frame support on the bottom. When water drips down the side you can clean it and under the edge of the aquarium because it's up off the furniture.

nice video

Perfect

Nice! You guys are really going to enjoy this tank. I have one and my channel is based around this tank so far. If you ever need help or questions on it reach out! I'll be keeping an eye out for updates.

Thanks Joe!

Cool tank set up. I been doing freshwater tanks for about 35 years. About 20+ years ago I did a nono saltwater tank. I had a couple damsels, a clown fish, a crab, and some live rock. I had the tank running for about 2 years, when I scrapped it and went back to only freshwater tanks due to it was a pain to maintain. I worked at Petco at the time as the animal specialists and directly as the aquatic specialist. The aquatic section I maintained did have saltwater and I was very good at maintaining it. I was able to even keep some exotic species like box fish, as well as the run of the mill fish. Bigger is always better for saltwater, and 40 gallons or more is what is recommended for ease of maintenance. Lots of people do however keep nano tanks. So good luck and I hope you have success.

Nice! Zoanthids and mushrooms (I like rohdactis) would look killer in there with the black sand. Dragons breath macro algae is also quite pretty.

I fully support this!! You need to start with a 90 though KP.. ) Way to get your "feet wet" in the SW darkside!!

One tip I have is to get the protein skimmer for this tank - it'll be your best friend, and make reef keeping a million times easier!

@pecktec

7 жыл бұрын

Very cool we have one ordered it just hasn't made it in yet. She will do a video just for it.

If you want to get your tank cycled quickly I would recommend using Red Sea's Reef Mature kit( It cycles aquariums in 21 days)

that little out flow adjuster is for the skimmer. depending on how much skim mate is coming out of the skimmer, you adjust the water flow to increase the water going to the skimmer, or decrease the water going to the skimmer.

This is my first aquarium. I am planning on housing a peacock mantis shrimp, and was wondering his I should set up/decorate the tank.

Chillers are becoming a thing of the passed... unless you're running metal halides (or other high intensity [hot] lighting), never run AC in the summer, or have extremely heavy duty submerged water pumps running, you're tank likely will never need cooling off. Running a small tank like that for salt, is going to be a fun challenge... especially if it's your first venture into that side of our hobby. Can't wait to see the tank evolve!

No idea!

I like the size and design, can i use it fpr fresh water, do i have to change any specs to make it work?

Just a question - how many inches/cm do you think the elbow connector is? I need to get another one for my tank

you should be able to add something pretty quickly due to adding live sand and rock.

I. have one of these I have Zoo plankton in it. Its interesting to see what they turn into. I had a swordfish. A marlin. Octopus, jelly fish lobsters. Mussels oysters. Sand bass, sea horses. Halibut. Sheep head king crabs shrimp. Are just a few things i have had in it.

The only thing different with this is the space for the protein Skimmer. Take that away and it's the exact same as all the Fluval filter setups. I would buy this and use it for freshwater anyway.

I support this decision! Hope you have a great time over in the dark side!

I'm new to saltwater also..... But I heard that sponge filter that you should get rid of it and they make acrylic media baskets for this tank get them and use for more media because there's not enough for the bacteria you need for a reef tank....also gotta plug that plug because you need flow and them things they have a better one you can upgrade to .....plus I'd get a wave maker you need flow for reef.....they also have things to hide the skimmer if you use one a 3d printed ones

Just curious which heater works best for this tank? I just bought an EVO 13.5 and I’m having a hard time finding a heater that fits well back in that compartment!

just got this tank and cut the pump hose too short. Can't find soft flexible hose like that anywhere. Any suggestions.

Hi, THanks for the video. I am actually debating if I should get this tank or not. the reason why is holding me back is idk if this tank will able to add a cooler from outside as adding additional 2 pie leting the water go throught a cooler then go back to the filter slot

you will need to change the light but otherwise its the same as the flex.

Thinking about getting this as my first and probably only tank. Aquariums interest me but the price of some of these tank are crazy.. what kind of fish would you guys recommend? I want 2-6 fish+ some kind of cleaner crew.

what are the actual dimensions of the inside display minus sump space and lid

I'm not sure which is worse... the knife... or the 'salt' water aquarium. I'll just have to stay tuned to find out how the rebellion against the dark lord goes... **stocks up on popcorn**

can this tank be used for planted freshwater tanks, or is it purely for saltwater?

I start my freshwater tanks at 6 hours a day. Then push them further if algae isn’t an issue.

Not sure if you will see this or not but is the black mesh at the top of the tank built into the glass or stuck on the outside? I am thinking about getting one of these tanks and wanted to put a static cling backing on one side. I was not sure if the mesh would cause issues with that or not.

6:35 “do they make a freshwater version of this? Lol! I have the 16 gal freshwater spec and I’m cycling it right now for saltwater and it’s not came to this video to make sure I knew every difference between that n this so I can replace what I need to!

The biggest difference is the light. They don’t market a fw one yet. Just the slightly bigger spec.

Be careful with a heater with tanks like the one in the video. The pump puts out a lot of heat, and even though I have a different brand, that is one thing I learned. With a heater it gets way too hot.
