Bio wheeler creates a nitrate factory

Why did you take bio wheel out ?

Starting out with a small tank can't be very challenging for some 1 who has never kept salt water before

Jake Vigstrom - 10 years ago

Just wondering exactly what that light fixture is called? Looking for one for my 10 gallon reef tank but all I can seem to find is a single bulb fixture from petco :( not ideal

Noah P - 11 years ago

around $175 for the ten gallon

Noah P - 11 years ago

Noah P - 11 years ago

Noah P - 11 years ago

thanks for the kind words but this tank is long gone. im currently setting up a 33 gallon long

Noah P - 11 years ago

i used to use those but my water would have a brownish tint to it.... so i stopped using them hope that helps

Fernando Gonzalez - 11 years ago

How much did it cost you for everything?

Shaheer Khan - 11 years ago

How much water change do you do every week? and what kinds of snails did you put in after the initial cycle?

Shaheer Khan - 11 years ago

Very nice! btw what is the GPH of the wavemaker?

Jakub Mroz - 11 years ago

im actually getting a 10 gallon soon.. its fits perfect in my little room and will give me something to do.. right now im just researching.

codeezie11 - 11 years ago

do you recommend diarrhea brand filters?

Jonathan Pan - 11 years ago

have you had any problems with the light fixture?

Matt Brooks - 11 years ago

nice tank! try hammer coral

Daymack - 11 years ago

add mushrooms or polyps. These are specifically very hardy and easy to take care of corals.

You have a nice 10 gallon tank." nice

Laura Holmes - 11 years ago

Be careful with bumblebee snails though. If not provided with enough food, they may eat zoanthids. Good luck!

Laura Holmes - 11 years ago

When I set up my nano tank I was staring at it for hours too, although there wasn't anything in it. And it does get addicting FOR SURE! My tank's about 7 months now and getting loaded with corals. I love the hobby, its amazing. So much to learn! :D Great start though :) Nice scape too

Laura Holmes - 11 years ago

Why does everyone call them false perculas? The ocellaris clownfish and percula clownfish are two different sub species. It's not like we call dogs 'false wolves'. They're dogs, but still canine. It's also kinda condescending to the ocellaris, saying they're not "true clownfish", just a fake copy of less worth. Thumbs up if anyone else gets annoyed by this common name mix up. PS: Love the tank, great start, and cute clowns :P Keep up the great work!

NICE TANK

BTMANE - 11 years ago

Don't you need a protein skimmer for reefs ?

Willifufu - 11 years ago

why did you take out your bio wheel again? I have a 10gal reef tank thats 3 months old as well.

Noah P - 11 years ago

thanks for viwing bm!

Noah P - 11 years ago

Just the live rock and sand.. You dont want to put any fish in until the cycle is complete. Good luck.

truth or many water changes haha

Noah P - 12 years ago

thanks alot dirtbikeman!

Noah P - 12 years ago

i agree carbon isnt necc..however if you plan on keeping SPS I feel carbon is a huge help in keeping pristine water.

dirtbikeman72 - 12 years ago

That's a very nice tank

G Katz - 12 years ago

you dont need the carbon man, i just use bio solid balls or a sponge thats it as long as you have good live rock you should be fine.

Noah P - 12 years ago

saltwater requires a little more time and money on your part..but IMO well worth it.

Noah P - 12 years ago

For this set up it cost me around $60

Noah P - 12 years ago

@300in1Warrior I have since upgraded to a 20 gallon long and I now have an ATO(automatic top off) that does topping off for me!

KensGopro. - 12 years ago

Arnt you worried about the water evaporation on it since you dont have a hood on it?

Noah P - 12 years ago

@bayoteugene9 I didnt for the 10 gallon..but I do for my 20 gallon. Its an Aquatic Life Mini 115 Protein Skimmer. Does the job and wont cost an arm and a leg. I would say there not neccasary for a 10 gallon as long as your doing your weekly water changes.

Noah P - 12 years ago

@319dodge I actually have a b&w clown as well as a naked clown in one of other tanks.thanks for looking!

Slammed Miiata - 12 years ago

you should get 1 black and 1white clown too

Horribly Edited - 12 years ago

How much did it cost to get everything up and running? Im thinking about setting up a 10 gallon.

ILIKESALTWATER Becauseido - 12 years ago

I have a 10 gallon with filter, what equipments I need to make it saltwater ?

Noah P - 12 years ago

@FransFishes thx..i transfered it all to my 20 gallon long..check it out!

Noah P - 12 years ago

@Nickp5954 Thanks! Check out my 20 gallon Long!

Noah P - 12 years ago

@DCV19 Thank u!

Noah P - 12 years ago

@lilserb123 This was actually when i first started saltwater..i now also have a 20 gallon long.and like everyone else i have had my share of algae blooms..but i also have a phosphate reactor that IMO dramitcally decreases algae..plus i also have a refugium that keeps algae blooms at minimum.

Nick Perry - 12 years ago

@lanracer916 20 inch

lanracer916 - 12 years ago

whats the lighting fixture u are using. is that a 24 inch or 20 inch?

Noah P - 12 years ago

@WWpictures100 make it easier for u in the long run..GO FOR IT!

Noah P - 12 years ago

@WWpictures100 I spend about 5-10mins a day on average...I do awater change every week and I clean various pumps and skimmers in a rotation. so i spend about 45 mins to an hour the one day I do the water change..but it really could be done in 10 mins without cleaning anything and just doing the wc. Dont get it twisted though dude...it can be challenging at times especially with coral but thats part of the game...however the rewards far outweigh those challenges and your mistakes will

Noah P - 12 years ago

WWpictures100 - 12 years ago

@dimepiecereef One last question Im trying to get this from the view of someone who doesnt work at a fish store Now how long does it take to maintian you aquarium on average? Is it very hard? I aways hear hard impossible .ect but im hearing this from people who failed to succeed in this hobby

Noah P - 12 years ago

@WWpictures100 Yea my goal is too have at least a 125 gallon...but Im years away from that dream. I would def get at least a 20 long... and keep in mind if u get a 30 ur light will have to be pretty strong to get to the coral on the sand bed...a 20 long is just as long as a 30 it's just not as high.

Noah P - 12 years ago

WWpictures100 - 12 years ago

@dimepiecereef Ya im thinking of getting a 30 but still just trying not to spend too much because I wish I could afford one of those 90 gallon tanks with everything

Noah P - 12 years ago

@WWpictures100 I no longer have this tank..but yeah the filter was def rated for way more than 10 gallons.I believe it could handle up to 30 gallons....if I were u I would look into getting a 20 gallon long..it will cost u almost as much as a 10 gallon and u will have more options.Trust me if ur serious about saltwater ur gonna wanna go bigger. Thanks for viewing!

WWpictures100 - 12 years ago

What tank size is your 10 gallon filter for? Is it a 30 gallon filter because thats what im going for in my tank as a saftey

Noah P - 12 years ago

Hi can i ask how much money total did you use on you live rock?

Noah P - 13 years ago

You can check craigslist. Theres always people breaking down theyre tanks where you can usually get good deals on live rock. Myself personally would just go to a reputable lfs for live rock.

Bass Assassin - 13 years ago

ok cool so now i knoe i dont need one of those 300$ filters for my 10 gallon project

ChampNike - 13 years ago

Nice tank! Wanna start a 10 gallon saltwater one soon!

riderinblack57 - 13 years ago

I clicked on it because it looks just like mine lol nice tank I went with a continental columns and shelves look though

Xavier Neff - 13 years ago

sup man , what i think u need that wood help out your snails is some sea weed or mabe even sum sea grasss.

xCeeJOHN - 13 years ago

you dont have to listen to me. but here is my advice. if your going to keep that chaeto, keep it in a sump or something like that. i had chaeto and stuck it in my main tank like you, and that thing grew liek crazy and started shedding all over the tank because it got blown everywhere my my current. its going to make your tank all messy. ever since i took it out, my tank looks really clean. but every aquarist has their own views.

adzski9232 - 13 years ago

hi @dimepiecereef i also have a 10 gallon tank and myn is currently cycling how long did yours take some people say a month other say 2 weeks Regards Adam

Marta - 13 years ago

I love your rocks

cod0mw2 - 13 years ago

@dimepiecereef thanksss

Noah P - 13 years ago

@cod0mw2 Yes def remove it! The fish would prob be ok with it but if you want to add coral in the future get it out of there ASAP.

Noah P - 13 years ago

@brettgardner111 Yes I just got a Aquaticlife Mini Protein Skimmer 115. It's great and if you search it you will find great reviews. I use koralia's for powerheads and I have a marineland heater.

Noah P - 13 years ago

@2424Anthony I actually just transfered my ten to a 20 long. I do have a sump now and yes I would def get a sump for a 30.

cod0mw2 - 13 years ago

HI,,I JUST FINISHED SETTING UP MY TANK...ITS STILL CYCLING.. I HAVE THE EXACT FILTER YOU HAVE.. I DONT HAVE A NANO REEF BUT SOME DAY I WILL WANT TO BUT, YOU WERE SAYING THAT THE BIOWHEEL CAUSE NITRATES TO INCREASE?? SHOULD I REMOVE MINES EVEN THOUGH MY TANK IS FISH ONLY? PLZZZ HELP

Noah P - 13 years ago

@ArcaniteVida 200GPH. It's the C series. I would explore all your options before you jump. I shortly will be moving everything to a 20 long with a sump system. More gallons=more stable water parameters...plus your gonna want to go bigger eventually. A 20 gallon would basically cost you the same funds as a 10 so why not go bigger?

Arcanite Trevino - 13 years ago

very nice, how many GPH does your filter do? I wanted to start a 10g PICO also.

Gilbert289 - 13 years ago

Very Nice, I love the rock...=)

@stayro09 Thanks. I just took out the stock lights so it looks even better now! Ill be posting a new vid soon.
