HOW to set up your first SALTWATER AQUARIUM! Starting your first saltwater aquarium can be intimidating. I remember doing endless research and still being hesitant to get started, until I finally got the courage to do it. Which is the reason I created this video, I started off with this 20 gallon aquarium about 3 yrs ago. I spent a ton a money because I listened to everything and everyone, I DO NOT want you all to go through the same thing. In this video you will see exactly how easy it is to get started. I’m using a 20 gallon Top Fin aquarium; (1) Fluval 50 HOB Filter and (1) Fluval 70 HOB Filter. I’m using a 200W aqueon heater. I’m currently using a Nicrew Classic LED aquarium light. Caribsea live rock cave and branch and caribsea sand. I’ll provide the links down below. Last but not least, I purchased my saltwater from my local aquarium. The water is sold with a salinity level of 1.025. This works very well for some fish and corals. I hope this video gives you all the confidence to finally try it for yourself. If you have any questions, please drop them down below. Keep a look out for the next video when we add some fish!! 🐠 🐟 I really appreciate you all for watching!!

Nicrew LED light for planted aquarium. I’m going to purchase a better light eventually, this is one I already had. So I used it, here’s the link:

Caribsea cave: This is a much better deal than the one I got. Here’s the link:

Caribsea branch: This is a 20 pound box of branches. I bought one for $20.00. This is a better deal. Here’s the link:

Always had freshwater aquariums because videos made saltwater seem so complex. You are honestly the only person that made a clear and straight forward video. Keep up the good work.

I've ALWAYS wanted a salt water aquarium, but was terrified. My mom used to have one but her fish kept getting sick and she didn't have any luck with it. This video actually has me super excited to do this. Thank you so much!!!! Being a mom of 2 toddlers, I don't have much me time and excitement aside from home life. Aquariums are definitely my go to for peace.

Thank you!!! I’m in LOVE with saltwater fish. In my opinion they are much more beautiful than freshwater fish. The way they swim is more relaxing to me. My fiancé got a 40 gallon tank for $45 at petco. We are getting every piece little by little. I was so intimidated by saltwater setup videos, I almost cried out of frustration. This video made me not give up!

Like yourself, I started with freshwater years ago. I had a beautiful tank and thought I had mastered the aquarium world. Then I had a house fire and lost all of my fish. While my house was being rebuilt, I bought a book on saltwater tanks and started one once back in my house. After about a year I became frustrated because it went from an enjoying hobby, to work. Fish were so expensive and when you lose a $60+ fish it is discouraging. But after 20 years I’ve decided to give it a shot again. Your large tank is beautiful! I enjoyed your video! Thank you!

I'm honestly terrified to start a saltwater aquarium. Clownfish are one of my favorite fish and idk if it's worth me risking their life because I'm a beginner but I know I would love having one if I had the confidence. Great video!!

Awesome video love the family vibes. My girlfriend has always been into aquatics and after watching and enjoying her freshwater set up for the last 5 years. I've decided I'm going to take my Crack at saltwater.

I've always been drawn to the saltwater fish at our local shop every time we go there. They are so beautiful.

My plan from a uneducated perspective is to get a 20 gallon tank and learn to sustain coral and sea anenemies. After I feel educated enough on the fish I want and sustaining healthy tank life ill eventually add fish.

Definitely subbing to the channel though! I can't wait to dive into your content. ✌️

I can't believe it's been a year! I watched this a few times when setting up a tank because I just wanted a simple little tank with no corals. Great beginner video! The biggest issue I had was fish disease with all my attempts at a tank. I eventually caved and purchased quarantined/medicated fish and wish I had done it sooner. It's a lot more expensive but it increased my success rate tenfold and was worth every cent. I have no fear buying more fish/inverts down the line from the same person because their service gives major piece of mind.

im so glad to come upon this video. a lot of others have said to buy things that cost over $200 for just one thing that isn't even live or not necessary. I have been wanting to gather the proper information to make my first saltwater tank and you have been the most useful information I have needed. im glad that you explain the reasons why you don't need somethings and why you recommend others. thank you so much.
