Hard is why it’s cool! Setup a saltwater aquarium you can be proud of.

Are saltwater aquariums hard? They can be challenging, but challenging is exactly why reefing can be FUN! Actually, maintaining a saltwater tank is pretty simple. Just feed the fish, clean the glass, change the water, and use some specialized gear to help!

These first 8-episodes of the 5-Minute Saltwater Aquarium Guide are dedicated at answering what saltwater aquariums are all about. After that, we setup two reef tanks of our own that you can follow from the ground up!

People that say it’s not hard have either been in it forever or aren’t putting into what I think is the most rewarding... which is creating a mini reef in your home. Great video 👊🤙🔥💯

[ChrisExploresLife]

"I'm going to give it to you straight. You have selected one of the most difficult pets possible, saltwater tanks and reef tanks with corals in particular, are not goldfish bowls or hamsters. This is a section of an ocean reef your recreating in your home. A symbiotic ecosphere of life. Most people will never even have a chance to see in their entire lifetimes and you're going to do this in your living room." -Ryan BRSTV

[johnchambers]

Can you do a video to what soft corals don't release toxicins and for the ones that can take over the tank and what distance is the best to stop that

[picklefish]

When people used to ask about my reef tank, I would always tell them that you need to like to read to keep one.

How to do a saltwater aquarium:
1. Open wallet, dump money into tank
2. Eat, sleep, repeat

Happy reefing! :)
