Here are 11 reasons you SHOULD get a marine tank! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b8iEYK57y5y6pqc.html

Great video the sump is what I couldn’t get my head round when I started. This is the only video that describes how it works properly 👍

Always look 👀 out for your videos on a Friday (unless it’s the festive period) 😂they’re full of good tips, for why you should, and why you shouldn’t get for your marine tank, peppered with the funny quips, I’m sure intentional. 👍 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thanks for setting this channel up , it's given me the confidence to have a go at the hobby.

One thing I love about this hobby is the ingenuity the individual reefer can display to resolve issues. I love seeing the methods people use to solve problems.

You forgot for "all you need is" - patience....

I really enjoy your videos man. You keep my attention throughout the entirety of the video. Some other channels take forever to get to the point and you don’t do that at all. Love it!

Thanks for all the great videos Alex Hope you had a good Christmas and look forward to more next year!!

The most hansom KZfaqr in reefing! I heard this when I was doing something and was like "Who is that? - not Randy surely" (because "5-minute guide") relieved to rewind and see who it was. I wanna know from @TwoGayReefers who comes in 2nd.

Really good positive video mate, really enjoying your channel! I’m in the process of setting up my first 260l marine tank.

i find the biggest turn off for people is getting hold of RO water would be really good to do a video on how to hook up a RO unit would be amazing

This is a great video!!! Thanks for making this.😀 I'm new to keeping a saltwater aquarium and keeping a saltwater aquarium is not as difficult as I thought. I converted my 125 gallon freshwater planted tank into a saltwater and it's been up for over a month now. Oh, I also lost a few fish along the way but I realized that in this hobby we will make mistakes and loose fish for many reasons.

Happy New Year Alex! I believe Mrs. DORK Is the Marine Biologist! I bless you both.

Another brilliant helpful video! Thanks again!

Great video as always. My biggest fear is the bristle worm to be honest!!

Funny you mention your CuC cleaning algae off of frags, I just got my first corals and my hermits ran the Xenia over so many times they all broke off and died

Great 1st video. Looking foreward to watching the rest. Have just set up a Red Sea Max Nano.

4:13 That was word for word what I did 🤣

Hey you only need a skimmer and return pump in the sump

Another top video 👍 happy new year

Wow, I wish I had this video a year ago. Great job!

Another very helpful video for those of us considering getting into the hobby. How long can you go on holiday for and what do you do with the tank to make sure things are OK?

Good job bro, keep up the good work

Another great informative video nice one.

Great video Alex 👍

Wonder if Your local store sponsoring You haha...shame i haven't seen that kind of a video 20 years ago:/ simple and straight to the point. Most people i spoke to about saltwater ,just put me off the hobby.keep it up good work Mr;)

Already have done about a year's worth of research. My eyes glaze over when we get too deep into the chemistry and dosing. Cost seems to be the big hurdle, but I want to do it the right way. A side effect of doing that research. Lol. I look at my buddy's "cheep" ultra low maintenance tank and I shake my head. Like a yard with nothing but weeds and a couple wildflowers in it! Lol 😂

3:53 That is exactly what I have been doing! I’m 5 months in! 😂😂😂

Hi Alex, yet another superb video 👍 30 yrs ago I kept marine fish with under gravel filters, never had any problems, when I retired a few years ago, I decided to start the hobby again, not realising how much things had changed, bought a tank and cabinet, then found out about sumps 😩 too late, no room for one, had to go for a canister filter, I use NSW, but struggle with nitrate problems, yet fish seem happy enough and soft corals are ok, I have cut back on feeding which the fish aren’t that happy about. It’s just this nitrate constant problems, Any suggestions you could give me would be greatly appreciated 👍

Good video man.

Great video Alex. Are you going to do a 6 month review of the Red Sea plus product? I am interested in how much pollution it causes in a tank.

Can you make an update on your skimmer please 😎

Refugium to

Great video, I’ve kept marines for about ten years now and I’ve never had a sump. So many things worry me about a sump. Noise, Pipe connections that might leak, Two tanks, main tank might leak, sump tank might leak. Weight, two tanks more weight. I’m about two upgrade to a new tank in January I might try a sump system but it will be upstairs so again weight could be an issue. Mmmm. Do I , or don’t I.

Nice video, have you ever tackle red turf algae or do you know how to get rid of it ?

Love your videos, I still think 🤔 for the masses you should blank out your living room wallpaper as your background. This was a great video though btw

Hello how do you keep your salinity in check.. When using ati essentials pro.

I am just getting into saltwater. I just installed 2 200 gallon water tanks, one for my rodi and one to pump to and mix saltwater. How long can i keep my saltwater stored or is there even a limit as long as it is circulating?? Thank you

I was adding up equipment. Lol. I love your vids. I'm 11000. Grand in on 180g. Lol.

Best video on reefs it bulds confidance man this is not just about sump this video is much more great work !!

You forgot testing water chemistry looks difficult to

Hey I’m setting up a 120 gallon reef tank. Can u help me with something. I’m not sure what would be a good type of stocking for the tank? (I need help with the stocking of the fish and the inverts) There r a few conditions, and they are: they need to be reef safe, invert safe, and mostly peaceful. Can u please tell me. I’m asking now as I want to do proper research on them before getting them. Please reply. Luv from Bangladesh 🇧🇩.

How many ppl starting out will get a salinity pen 🤣 should have mentioned the refroctometer also maybe??

Your sump also makes it complicated

Having an alge is not so bad if you have no more alge your clean up crew will starve

New vid ya

👍🏽

I know what makes it look complicated its testing water paramiters regularly

Taking a breath between words every now and then would help tremendously for us to take some info in. Otherwise its just a blur of info with no time to digest and understand

Your sump also feels thing complicated

Who’s the most handsome guy in reefkeeping? Vote below ,,,,

The overrated pail concordantly move because eight regularly rhyme notwithstanding a petite kimberly. flowery, overconfident health

Bad info. Your tank or sump could overflow.

I think this video is a bit misleading, the hard truth is that the hobby is a minefield. If you follow this advice you will just end up with a tank full of pests and parasites. He makes no mention of the need to quarantine fish before adding them to the display. I know he doesn't do this and advised against it but once you have had a dose of velvet in your tank you'll never put an un-quarantined fish near your tank again. It's same with other pests like flatworms and aiptasia, not even a mention! Also, most of the soft corals mentioned are nothing but invasive pests once you become more advanced in the hobby. The slightest touch from a mushroom is enough to kill SPS and once you get them in your tank you'll never be able to remove them as they are indestructible. Other sofites like kenya trees release chemicals into the water that retard the growth of your LPS and SPS. You have to plan carefully and do your research before starting a marine tank otherwise you'll be stripping it down and starting from scratch within a year to undo all the mistakes you make. They are only a fraction of the possible issue you may face.
