I upgraded and bought a barely used 40 gallon tank with a stand, cover, light, heater, filter, and other accessories all for $70. I’m still so happy about it!! 😭🙏🏼 now I’m getting into/studying corals, i just been having live rocks for 2 years.

never give up on this channel brother. it’s clear one day you’ll take off

[ryenotwin]

Omg thank you so much! I really needed this!

[richardcortez]

Wow wish you guys had your shop here in Southern California love the video didn't know it could be that easy.

[madeleinegross]

All your animals are sickkk!!!! Im trying to set up a saltwater aquarium in an apartment next year!! Thanks a lot

[jeffdavis]

Do you guys sell the live rock formation for that 15 gal you set up in this video ?

[gregflores]

Would I be able to use my 75 gallon tank that I have freshwater in for a saltwater setup? Or do you recommend starting with a new tank

[Kenny-C]

Do you sell the life rock tree on your online store? Do you have any in stock?

[Taylor.Natale]

If this wasn’t sponsored by Top Shelf I’d say he owes you 🤪 Great video! It was fun to watch you set this up and honestly cool to see the cost of everything too

[rileybengtson]

How many rocks in total do you have and weight? I just bought everything for this setup. So I need the tree and 1 more arch?

[sebastianlundgren]

A question form a guy that have done some freshwater setups (so probably a stupid question) do you sees the tank with food to get the cycle started. So the bacteria that you added have something to feed on. Or is it enough in the live sand and rocks. I’m wondering cuz I’m about to buy my first saltwater and trying to get as much info as possible. Thanks for a great video.

[michellesmith]

Very informative video. Davis is crazy, lol. Love you. 💜

[andcol]

Would love to get this as my first tank but I live in the uk 😕

[dailyphotography]

Mine cycled in 5 days with turbo start live bacteria 🎉

[diannedulay]

Am i able to take sand and rock from the ocean?

[lexyacosta]

Around how many corals and fish fit in a 15g tank? I am leaning towards building my own 29g tank with tempered glass but I’m still deciding.

[georgeduncan]

Yep 💥 i soak, rinse my sand in salt water

[silversixcreations]

How does the reef crystals work do I just buy salt water in gallons or do u make it

[huntersmith]

Great vid, I’ve never had saltwater tank and am finally going through with it and I decided I wanted to go with a 15 gallon, and do a pair of clowns, do you think you could go in depth with the cycle process and what corals to add for those new to it, along with if you think you should add fish first or coral? Thanks!
