Where did you get the tank from? It's beautiful!

carraplaps - 6 years ago

Hi J Brown, thank you, the tank has no brand, I got it in a local pet store in Spain, sorry I can´t help you more.

josh blakeley - 7 years ago

isn't that too small for a tang ? I know some people bring them back and what not how long can you keep one of those in a 30?

Canada Arrow - 6 years ago

josh blakeley maybe a year but you can always rehome or give back tangs

Awesome! :D

Ryan Kromplewski - 9 years ago

About how much was all of this? im looking to get a tank and im trying to find a price range before I go looking for everything

Anthony Sadler - 9 years ago

Do u have bristle worms?

carraplaps - 9 years ago

yes there's some in the tank, thought not very easy to see.

Mansa Musa - 10 years ago

Nice tank, but the tang should have a larger tank.

Nikhil H - 7 years ago

Mansa Musa ??? nothing wrong with keeping a tang in this small of tank if it's temporary. Most people give it back to store or sell to others when it gets bigger

bloodyhetza - 10 years ago

OH MY GOD, I JUST FOUND NEMO! That's a beautiful tank you got there c:

kevin carvajal - 10 years ago

By any chance do you have a chiller running with your set up?

carraplaps - 10 years ago

Thanks for sharing your opinion.

carraplaps - 10 years ago

Thanks! I´m glad you like it.

Zugglez3 - 10 years ago

Whoever told you it was okay to put a yellow Tang in there was wrong. Ideally you want a 6ft+ long tank or so. Meaning 90gal+

Austin Nelson - 10 years ago

Love the fish selection and the yellow tang

Thanks ;) I bought it like that, but I believe it originally had a lamp covering the whole top with a brace.

Fill Yo Head - 10 years ago

Did you take the top brace off the aquarium or was it retailed like that? Nice aquarium btw.

Dylan Drews - 11 years ago

you have a yellow tang in there!?

carraplaps - 11 years ago

Yes you don´t really need anything else to keep your reef running quite good. As long as you have enough live rock and a good skimmer you are good to go. Bare in mind that in ocasions you may want to use other filtering media or resins (ej. to lower phosphates etc etc) and you may want to have somewhere to put it.Of cousrse there are better ways... but if you want it simple it will be fine like this, don´t worry. It works for me! Don´t forget about a good light;) Thanks for watching! ;)

macmac7676 - 11 years ago

I am looking at changing my 30 gal tropical into a marine, my tropical has an internal filter and I use a cannister filter as well, I noticed you only use a protein skimmer and live rock to filter the tank, is this enough filtration? I am curious as everybody seems to have a different opinion on how to set up a marine tank.

carraplaps - 11 years ago

Sorry for the late answer! I´m glad you liked it! If you keep it simple enough it shouldn´t bee extremelly expensive but be prepared to add quite a lot of money, it could easily add up to 5 or 6 hundred depending on what you allready have,...

carraplaps - 11 years ago

Thanks for the advice and info;) The video is quite old though, now I do have more movement in the surface and it has been doing quite good.

MOTORUSA13 - 11 years ago

To ironstream58, this isn't to be a jerk and in some ways i agree with you on the whole yellow tang issue. yes yellow tangs are supposed to be in bigger tank preferably in 50 gallons or bigger. but this also depends. as long as a tang has enough room to swim or pace, enough oxygen, and not any over crowding tangs can be kept in extreme cases 15 gallon tanks maybe singly in a 10 gallon. now I'm not saying we should all start keeping tangs in little aquariums but I've seen plenty of 20g tanks with

russell morton - 11 years ago

Just a word of advice, You need to have more top water movement or top water skimming. Dust particles and other substances tent to float ontop of the water, creating a film. This will eventually fall onto your fish and corals. This arguably causes various problems for both. .

Ryan Wood - 12 years ago

how did you get the live rock to grow stuff on it? is it dictated by light?

Mansa Musa - 12 years ago

overstocked, maybe a little more rock but the sand bed is fine.

adam spies - 12 years ago

too many fish. not enough rock, sand bed not deep enough, powerheads need to be pointed at the surface. led lights for anemone. Hope this helps, works for me :)

ManAmalReacts - 13 years ago

@carraplaps OH because it is rimless and usually they are made by companies with a reputable name.

carraplaps - 13 years ago

@manamal1 thanks ! what do you mean with what kind of tank? its a glass tank with no specific brand. :)

ManAmalReacts - 13 years ago

carraplaps - 13 years ago
