This was literally the best video I have seen out the so helpful thank you so much

[trishgallo]

I’ve watched 30 videos & didn’t understand any of them, you’ve made this so quick and simple thanks a million!

[karolinapetrone]

This video was so helpful. You literally did what all these other people didn’t do, and that’s explain everything and break it all down. I’ve watched so many videos and became more and more confused and terrified to start a salt water tank

[luqmanal-fareed]

he is kinda like a hip hop version of reefer rather than normal uncle that talking for hours.. great and fast content bruh

[Ccastillo]

The way you explained filtration was by far the easiest to understand. Thank you

[NikoPappas]

Literally thought this was so simple to understand and I have watched so many that confused me. Thanks !

[grg]

Just the basic explanation I was looking for.. thanks!

[CoralReefkid]

It’s nice to see others using a 55 gallon for reefs, I hear people usually despise the 55 gallon for reefs due to it being so narrow

[arthuresykesjr]

"$1, 300" for lights (me picking myself back up from the floor), umm $1, 300 LIGHTS? I'm going to be broke...

[fightlifenation]

Do canister filters work on salt water tanks. I have a 55 gallon

[bossbaby]

Great video thanks got me more motivated to get my set up. I been buying piece by piece unsure. But my plans been the same as your set up

[SunnyLee]

Can you do vids on all in one tanks, I’m thinking about getting that

[hunterb]

Would u do a canister filter, protein skimmer, or both ?

[martinm]

Thanks for the Video... looks Amazing.. Question : i have 40 gallon saltwater tank and I buy RO water and then add salt at home and the clownfish and snails are ok for 6 months... i want to try reef.. do you think just RO water(not RODI) will work for reef?

[nvdesign]

Do u think starting a ten gallon saltwater tank is a good idea? I just wanted to start small since saltwater tanks can get pricey. Thanks :)

[lucasteeny]

If i were to have a fish only tank or 1 big fish in a 55 gallon tank could i get away with a canister filter?

[LEO-xocz]

Won't changing the colours on your led lights effect the properties and quality of light?

[Peach_spooky]

If I have a 20 gallon tank can I get away with only an HOB filter and frequent water changes? Filtration wise...

[kativ]

I’ve been looking for way to make my metal stand look better. Cloth def was something I was thinking about. What did you do, I like it!

[joshking]

How much salt did you put in your 55 gallon tank
