Transforming Abandoned Aquarium Into A Saltwater Reef

#BluettiCare #BluettiAC240 #BluettiBFCM2024

We found an abandoned fish tank on Facebook Marketplace for just $15 – and it came with some unexpected guests living inside! When I picked it up, I discovered sea creatures that had somehow managed to survive in this tank. So, we brought them back to the warehouse, gave them a new home, and completely transformed this old, forgotten tank into a thriving saltwater reef paradise. From scrubbing the years of grime off the glass to adding beautiful coral, live sand, and a rock structure, I took this tank from abandoned to amazing! Watch the full transformation and see the rescue of these sea creatures as we introduce them to their brand-new saltwater habitat.

For anyone wondering, the crab is a Decorator Crab, These crabs are known for their unique behavior of attaching materials from their surroundings like this one did in the video

Wife and I just moved to Siesta keys right in the heart of the hurricane. Currently down in Bonita springs with friends waiting to get info of what we do next. Very fortunate to get out in time. Unfortunately after Milton we have decided maybe the keys aren’t the best location to raise a family. Helen we only lost some trees but losing everything and rebuilding is getting very difficult. Might be a move further south if job permits. Love Florida and all it has to offer. Fishing is amazing and love watching the videos keep up the great work.

I was effected by hurricane milton I lost 5 clown loaches 3 cory cats a zebra pleco our power was out 9 days. Even though losing fish I had for 9 yrs I'm blessed I and my family made it threw. My brother in law had a triple bypass surgery the day before the storm hit. Love what you did with that tank Be safe

[SlinkySnout]

It's super cool! I would just recommend adding bushy plants, as clownfish often like to burrow in them.

All the creatures in this video
Decorator crab: these crabs are known for their unique behavior of attaching materials from their surroundings


Brittle starfish: basically star fish but has longer, more flexible arms



Skunk cleaner shrimp: it is considered a cleaner shrimp since eating parasites and dead tissue from fish makes up a huge part in its diet

I'm not gonna say it's fake, but finding all those great creatures is a bit odd

Great video fellas! I own multiple tanks and also live in Florida. I live in a very rural area and Helene wiped out about 30-40 big oaks on my property and took all the power lines and power poles with it. I was without power for about 12 days and managed to keep all coral and fish alive with ice and stirring the tanks and moving water around with long spoons and bubblers. A power station would alleviate a bunch of stress that’s for certain. Your videos do the same also!! Thank you for what yall do and right lines brothers!

3:32 I believe that that is a sponge crab.

I am 23 years old I live with my wife and my 2 kids and we lost half of our house from a big oak we have been living in a hotel unit we can find a new house and a new job we lost everything we owed and I hope we can win the power station my kids and wife and I would love to be the winners. I love watching you hope you have a blessed and wonderful day

Hey guys, watch out for Fish Robbers. Paul Cuffaro just had his $8k shark stolen from his house.

[elainezhai]

The tank is so awesome! One thing I suggest is adding coral, because it looks kind of colorless.

[marniemontalbo]

When u broke the rock with the sledgehammer and showed us what became of that, 😮😮😮!
Brilliant!!!

[moniqueguccione]
