Guys your right about there being a tang in a bigger tank but I think 1 is fine to me

Eric Dominguez - 9 years ago

The amount of rock has nothing to do with your tank size but what Aquascape you are looking for.

Xtreme Herper - 9 years ago

I just got a 29 gallon and was wondering how many fish do you have in your tank? If mine gets this healthy then I would like to know how many fish it could support. Thanks man! And great looking tank!

Buddy Sheroka - 9 years ago

nice tank that looks great happy reefing

malawilake40 - 10 years ago

Nice 30gl bro..stocked real good..

Prasanna Abeyrathna - 10 years ago

ok your tank is amazing. can you please add a description of this setup in the video . all the things about it. livestock , filters parameters. This is the best 30 I have seen so far. better than 120s some people have. Obviously I want to follow your model

Ryan Len - 10 years ago

What kind of filter do you have

galiazzoa - 10 years ago

I want the same setup as you! Is you live rock stacked against the backwall? And if not, how much space did you leave?

Mailon Fuentes - 11 years ago

I love this tank, and i agree 100% ith GFormica1 i can see that this tank is a very well established tank good Coral growth and fish look amazing

Start by researching as much as possible it took me 6 months of research before I actually started my tank. Remember only thing that happens fast in the hobby is bad.

matt3586 - 11 years ago

Like damn! I really want to go for a reef aquarium, I have ket freshwater for the last couple years, but I don't even know where to start.

matt3586 - 11 years ago

Gorgeous

NiGhTmaReoFanGels12 - 11 years ago

fish looks cramped in 30 gallon tank, its not all about filtration but its also about space too

danbran67 - 11 years ago

finally a proper response to this video , Thank friend yes it has a few extra fish for only one reason its a for a video this tank was for display then it went to a 90 Gallon now 2013 its a 150 gallon the fish is a Bourbonious Anthias or Splotchy / yes all the water parameters are perfect , but you can never please the HATERS LOL

GFormica1 - 11 years ago

Why are so many of stating that this tank is overstocked?. Stocking is directly related to filtration and this tank has alot of filtration and flow. Perhaps a couple to many fish, but maybe not. The fish he has chosen here are also of the correct size to. If you look at that tank itself , it is immaculate with what seems to be zero nuisance algae and excellent Coraline algae growth. Both indicating a stable reef system. What is the name of the bright yellow spotted fish at 10 seconds?

danbran67 - 11 years ago

Kid you know nothing have someone take a look at the herpes growing on your lip

Luke Wieland - 11 years ago

Way overstocked for a thirty even though it turned into a ninety

danbran67 - 11 years ago

@JBo5230. This tank ran for a year then it became a 90 gallon- do water change every month 25% use a good skimmer if you have many corals and be patient don't over feed

Josh Abdalla - 11 years ago

That's a pretty sweet tank! I'm probably going to get a 30-gallon tank and it's nice knowing how much I could do with it. Any beginner advice?

20. comment for 30 Gallon Reef Tank

danbran67 - 11 years ago

first put a shirt on because I'm not a girl secondly read my friend learn to read you would know that this was a show tank and it turned into a 90 gallon but by this time which is 2013 its a hundred fifty gallonhave a nice day

danbran67 - 11 years ago

you don't read . read my friend

Carlson Moncrief - 11 years ago

If you have all the money it takes to cram all that stuff in there( overstocked) use your brain and by a bigger tank

Caleb Marshall - 11 years ago

That's enough life for a 90 gallon tank.

TANG POLICE !!!!!!!!!!!

Brandon Myrick - 11 years ago

Hey man. I had no right to tell you what to do with your tank. Didn't mean to make it personal. I've always heard the 1 to 5 ratio, but its none of my business. It is a good looking tank though. Do your thing bud.

danbran67 - 11 years ago

Hey Baldy do you have a Marine Biology Degree well maybe you should talk to and advise the Atlanta Aquarium they pack a lot of fish in a tank by the inch they should listen to you.

danbran67 - 11 years ago

apparently you don't read maybe you should read instead of spewing out so much useless information on your health Channel . forget my 30 gallon tank I got a cure for baldness

Brandon Myrick - 11 years ago

Overstocked means too many fish confined in a small area. 1in of fish per 5 gallons. Do the math, that's 6 in of fish for a 30 gallon. Who cares about aggression. Its inhumane. I've got a 30, and we've got a clown, a blennie, and a shrimp. Maybe one more clown or a yellow wrasse. You've got too many fish bud.

danbran67 - 11 years ago

If you read the filtration system you will be amazed is all in the profile for the Video

danbran67 - 11 years ago

the Splotchy ( Anthias ) he's doing fine never was there a problem he's in the 90 gallon in my other vids I have him for 4 years maybe a little more . he's so funny and very curious he loves blood worms.

danbran67 - 11 years ago

Its Incredible but I got by a saying that Socrates said ( They are so Ignorant they no not of their Ignorance )

Honey Badger - 11 years ago

Wow. Beautiful! I am going to set up a 75 gallon reef tank. Hope I get half the success you have. Ha.

Mattgreenwald - 11 years ago

if your simply talking about bio load for overstocking... He could have 100g sump on this 30g show tank, we dont know.. it looks amazing.

Keith Hargis - 11 years ago

Define overstocked. Fish aren't fighting due to territorial aggression and hes keeping his livestock well and happy. His corals are relatively easy to take care of with water quality. Maybe some of them when they reach adult size will be removed?

_kicksonfire_ - 11 years ago

show tank or not, fish deserve and need a certain amount of space for swimming and enough room to establish territories

Mansa Musa - 11 years ago

That setup was a long time ago, when I was a noob. Now please go get raped and killed. Thank you.

Great choice of coral wrong choice of fish for a show tank.

OVER STOCKED

idelta490 - 12 years ago

This tank is healthy, I hate how everyone wants to chime in with their 2 cents on how they think a tank is overstocked and what is in the tank and how many gallons they need. Please stfu already. I don't see lines of you idiots in pet stores bitching about how their livestock needs to be displayed in larger tanks. Not all tanks can be ocean sized but atleast this one is healthy, Of course if I had a halfass saltwater tank and didn't look as good as this one I would complain too.

Laura Holmes - 12 years ago

Also, if you took time to think before posting that it's "over stocked", you can see the tank walls are covered in coralline, the corals are healthy looking, and so are the fish, so obviously it's been running great for a while now. That amount of healthy growth you can't buy at a LFS. I'm thinking somebody's just jealous.....

Laura Holmes - 12 years ago

A good rule of thumb is 1 to 1.5 pounds per each US gallon. So 30 pounds would be great for a 30 gallon. REMEMBER: It all depends on what type of rock you get. Some are more porous and therefore lighter so you won't need to buy as much (ex: pukani which is amazing rock). It also depends on how you aquascape/stack it. 20 pounds of pukani would most likely be enough to fill the tank. Hope this helps :)

Laura Holmes - 12 years ago

You can stock the main tank as much as you please as long as you have a huge sump filtering all that, which I'm assuming there is one. But amazing tank by the way!

Tristan J - 12 years ago

yo take the tang and the angelfish out, they are meant for tanks OVER 100G

ROBBIE WILLIAMS - 12 years ago

Whoever disliked this video, suck it you morons. Great tank. I'll try to make my Biocube HQI to look similar.

harrietplopper - 12 years ago

I love this because I have set up my own 30 gal reef and I am 12. I was sad when I realized it was kind of small but know I know I can make it awesome.

Danbran67 - 12 years ago

@aolvera1001 water changes every month religiously about 30% water change and yes thats all the thing It had prizm skimmer etc.... Fluval works great for 30 gallons goodluck happy NYear

FastEngine - 12 years ago

Hey Ryan I might be some help. For the bottom of your rock structure I would use some large rocks. And when you work your way up use smaller rocks. Filling in gaps with smaller and forming caves with larger. As for lighting I was confused when I started. For soft corals your gonna want some low wattage lighting, maybe 1-2 watts per gallon. I have a 30 gallon and have 17 watts so only half a watt per gallon and my mushrooms are great. Other coral just look up lighting needs :)

Ryan Wood - 12 years ago

amazing tank, i just started my saltwater reef tank, do you suggest building up the back with small rocks? or buying large rocks. also what kind of light is good for coral? or soft coral? i have a coralife bluelight and an l.e.d. light

Dyck Guillaum - 13 years ago

nice tank

Me Too - 13 years ago

Beautiful fish and coral but I agree that it's WAY overstocked. When I was setting up my tank everything I read said 1 fish per 10 gallons and these are not small fish. Too many rocks and coral for the fish to swim freely and hide. I hope you just transferred to the 90 gal that you didn't add anything else. Think of the welfare of the animals.

danbran67 - 13 years ago

@valuing2005. Thanks .this tank turned into a 90 Gal.. check it out thanks again

230jjordan - 13 years ago

@danbran67 you don't need a phd to realize that many of those fish will die young and live shitty lives cos you just want this maelstrom of fish swimming around. Maybe you should live in a shoebox for a few days with your family and see how things go.

@QuebecReefTank Dude I live in Brooklyn NY and over here we have a lot of chinese reef aquarium stores and the prices are great for example a Aussie Elegant coral for 45 to 50 in Canada I would look for those reef or Aquarium stores in the Asian communities and may be you will luck out good luck let me know if you do

Francis Tremblay - 14 years ago

hi hi i just started a salt aquarium 32 gal! and i love it so much! but i think 1200$ is not the real price =O little more expensive with all include hehe ( in quebec) anyway dude you got a beautiful tank!

@GuitarMasta37 If you would have kept reading may be you would have found out what happened. It's now a 90 but thanks for the heads up

Austin Carnes - 14 years ago

If I'm wrong. correct me, but isn't that just a tad over stocked? Looks incredible, by the way. Awesome set up

danbran67 - 14 years ago

@tvshowuploader3 red sea prizm skimmer works fine you have to let it break in but works really well your problem maybe is high phosphates and or poor circulation

danbran67 - 14 years ago

@polevaulter6916 Yes you have to do water changes regularly, also no room for adequate amount of live rock and water movement and yes 55 gallon is always better to start with good luck

danbran67 - 14 years ago

about 1200.00 by the end now it's a 90 check it out

danbran67 - 14 years ago

PS if you would like to see what that 30 gallon turned into go to danbran67 take care

danbran67 - 14 years ago

I would suggest to start smaller with a 10 gallon nano tank a regular aquaclear 30 filter will help and a nano skimmer and your set to go . I have one in my Office 350 dollars is Ok to start but when you get bigger that 25 Gallons Just the filter would cost over 200 . read about the hobbie well before you do anything good luck

jonathon wampfler - 15 years ago

thanks i have a ten gallon reef tank right now thats why i wanted to move up. and i will get a 150 if i can thanks for all the tips. and im not doing a sump im getting all hang on back. i think it should be ok just as long as i have what i need like a skimmer filter water pumps and a light. do u think.

danbran67 - 15 years ago

The bio load I have has no I'll affect because I have a tremendous amout of clean up crew including a serpent star fish who eats the waste upike crazy as for the light I would say 150 watt is better but 130 is OK always watch the way your fish eat and feed accordingly you should never have.a problem oh and carbon is very important Good luck tell me how it goes

jonathon wampfler - 15 years ago

im starting a 30 gallon reef tank. and im getting a 130 watt light is that going to be good it should be like 4.5 watts per gallon or something around there. and i didnt know you can have so many fish haha is it good to have allot

danbran67 - 15 years ago

Thanks

danbran67 - 15 years ago

I'm not running a Metal H light you don,t need one for a 30 Gallon tank, I'm using a current power compact, that's all you need let me know how it goes 2 x 65 watt white & 2 x 65 watt Ac.... With two white moon lights

danbran67 - 15 years ago

it's not really the light , you probably have a good one it's the time you leave it on and off 8 hours for the white , the hair algae problem is do to high phosphate levels and most of all poor circulation you have to have good water flow all around your tank no dead spots Do not confuse strong water flow with flow use nano power heads or similar in different places and clean your filter every month if its a canister filter good luck PS Keep temp and alkalinity at proper levels

Has to be the best 30 gal tank I have seen. I have one too but still working on it. I just had a bad algae out break. Had to take all the LR out and brush them. Lost almost all my coral too. Not given up and learning more on have too better provent to hair algae out break again. What type of light you are using??

Thanks Buddy for telling me but to disappoint you, I Just got the male Bellus on that day he's hiding sorry if you can't see him in this video but he's in there
