Could you give me the exact setup you have as far as tank filtration etc

mikhi dajur - 7 years ago

i have a ten gallon tank also.. looks sweet

ParaTimbre - 7 years ago

Is it possible to fit an invert or 2 in there, like a fire shrimp, emerald crab, hermit crab? I'm cycling my 10g nano right now and I'm planning on stocking it with 2 clowns, a fire goby, or royal gramma, and an invert or 2. Idk about the royal gramma though, since I heard it's aggressive.

ParaTimbre - 7 years ago

I just got an emerald crab yesterday in addition to my 2 clowns. However, I'm scared because I heard that sometimes they'll eat fish and other inverts. Has this happened in your experience?

ParaTimbre - 7 years ago

Awesome. Did the Emerald Crab and FireShrimp help a lot with the waste?

Yeah I actually just stocked it with 2 clowns. I'm just thinking on what the 3rd fish will be. I'm really liking the Yellow Watchman Goby, but Firefish and Royal Gramma are close seconds.

Dodge Andersen - 7 years ago

I eventually added a emerald crab and peppermint shrimp. Both did great. I would just stick with the clowns and firefish, 4 fish might be pushing it

i hear clownfish need 30 gallons, is that true?

simpleAI - 7 years ago

thanks, im getting a 100 gallon tank.

SurvivalHorrorTV - 7 years ago

some clownfish do, like a maroon clownfish... as young fish they don't, if you go into a petstore they are never kept in an aquarium that they are meant to be in as adult size. but remember fish get big despite the tank the are in, so eventually they will get too big for the tank they are in and need a bigger one. so for the sake of not having to have multiple tanks, just put them in the biggest one you can possibly get for them, and afford of course.

teddy023 - 8 years ago

Love the videos, dude! I can't wait to start my 10 gallon, you make it look so easy but I know it will be a lot of fun work! Hope to see you keep posting!

001fishman - 8 years ago

+Dodge Andersen Those Perculas will get up to 3 inches each when they mature, that plus the firefish is a cramped tank. To paraphrase a guy I saw on youtube once "don't be selfish" your clowns would be much happier in a 20+. Just because they can all fit doesn't mean they are thriving.

Dodge Andersen - 8 years ago

I don't see how this would be considered overstocked. All my levels checked out perfectly and I never lost anything.

TheBishop12 - 8 years ago

The live rock/sand has really come to life on this update. What camera are you using and how are your video files looking so crisp on youtube. I have an old Canon Powershot ELPH 110 HS 16.1 megapixels and it always looks blurry on youtube and youtube always asks me to upload to original quality. And would you recommend ornamental shrimp like peppermints, cleaners, coral banded, harlequin, etc in a 10g nano tank??

TheBishop12 - 8 years ago

Holy smokes now I HAVE to upgrade my 5 now haha. Sounds good man i'll keep that feeding tip in mind.

Dodge Andersen - 8 years ago

I actually just used my iPhone 6 Plus!! And then I uploaded it directly to YouTube on my phone in 1080. And yeah shrimp are fine as long as you keep them fed well so they won't accidentally munch on your corals! I added a peppermint shrimp not long after this video and fed him flake food with a long set of tweezers and he would snatch it right from them! I also got a sexy shrimp but he disappeared not long after I purchased him.

Legendary Aaron R - 8 years ago

is the fire fish okay only by itself? and does that small of a tank really need a power head?

Dodge Andersen - 8 years ago

Yes he was fine! And yes you will need a power head the current alone from the filter is not enough

larryjohnny - 8 years ago

What was the total cost and up keep cost? Looks amazing! Bravo! So sad that it's gone! This is exactly what I imagined as my ideal "simple" tank. However I know there is nothing simple about it so I just have a Betta right now.. Good times!

Legendary Aaron R - 8 years ago

wait a annenome is a fish? so they all just move to where they want?

Legendary Aaron R - 8 years ago

i never knew that.

sygy - 8 years ago

+Aaron R anemones are invertebrates. they can move, and they do so often. they eat food, and do need it to survive.

so they will move and eat and stuff?

frank o - 8 years ago

nope, they are inverts just like crabs, and shrimp

Joshua Pendley - 8 years ago

i will say if you keep those clowns, im assuming they are ocellaris they will outgrow the tank. if theyre true percula they will severely outgrow the tank.

Joshua Pendley - 8 years ago

+Isaac Cano maybe you can get away with it but it isn't really recommended

Joshua Pendley - 8 years ago

+wildwestherp s no....ocellaris are smaller than true percula

wildwestherp s - 8 years ago

+Isaac Cano Percula stays smaller than the occelaris.

Isaac Cano - 8 years ago

They won't, Ocellaris clownfish require at least 10 gallon tank or more. Maroon and Clarks clownfish require bigger tanks due to them growing beyond three inches.

Joshua Pendley - 8 years ago

not bad.

CityReefer - 9 years ago

Dodge Andersen - 9 years ago

+Joe Meza I used chemi-pure wrapped inside of cheap filter pads I bought off of amazon. Kept my tank crystal clear! And on a nano on big bottle will last you a long time

Reefer Nanoman - 9 years ago

Just be careful when feeding. I only feed my fish once a day. If you feed too much, it can create unwanted algae.

Reefer Nanoman - 9 years ago

Jeff Henderson - 9 years ago

Dodge - This is one of the most charming videos I've ever seen! As an inveterate marine aquarist, I applaud your candor and humility. There's nothing more annoying than a prick who's more proud of himself than his tank. "It's a wise man who admits that which he doesn't know". Your tank is excellent! Saltwaterfish.com does indeed rock. One treat you might consider for your carnivores and the pink tip: get a raw "table shrimp", devein it, cut into small pieces and freeze in a plastic bag. Thaw as needed and I promise your animals will reward you with health and vigor. Keep it up, man!

Jeff Henderson - 9 years ago

+Dodge Andersen Just promise me that you'll keep it up. Your passion is obvious and admirable. However, one caveat on those giant systems: (I maxed out at 125G)....In these small tanks, parameters are easy to control as are unwanted guests. In a 500G, one little unseen aiptasia or another parasite can overtake your tank bring you down in two weeks time. Sometimes, simple is best. And all the best to you, pal!

Dodge Andersen - 9 years ago

+Jeff Henderson Thank you Jeff! I really did love having my tank! It was so rewarding and fun to take care of. Sadly, I had to move into a new apartment, and they have a strict no animal policy (including fishtanks) so I had to get rid of this tank. Luckily, my dentist in my hometown has a reef tank and I sold all these little guys to him! I get to go see them anytime I visit home! I will definitely start up another tank when I have a more permanent place to live. My goal is to custom build a huge tank that is 500+ gallon. (Probably will be a long time before that lol) With my dad and I's construction background I think we will be able to build something pretty spectacular. Thanks for the kind words and I wish you luck with all your tanks!

Parker Zachary - 9 years ago

Victor Perez - 9 years ago

Hey man I'm thinking of turning one of my 10 gall tanks to salt is it good If get the same supplies as you..but I have no idea what light to get any suggestions ??

Jeff Henderson - 9 years ago

+Victor Perez Yo, Victor! Depending on what livestock you want, LED technology is the smartest option. You can spend $50 or $600. I spent $40 on each of four 10G nanos. I grow SPS (small polyp stony corals), LPS (large polyp stony corals), zoanthids, crabs, snails, shrimp (be careful, some eat coral polyps) and select fish (basslets, tangs, wrasses, reef friendly guys) with LEDs only. Regular frequent water changes are all you need besides lights and live sand. You must start with live sand to jump start your nitrogen cycle.

michaelvideo's - 9 years ago

awesome tank man!
but i have a question, i want to turn my 14 gallon fresh water tank into a reef tank, but can i just use the same equipment as you do? because i am on a pretty low budget so can i use a hang on the back filter if i do weekly waterchanges?
Thanks man!

Milind Mane - 7 years ago

Jeff, I am glad to know that one can start marine reeftank with such a lean setup, usually pet store suggests protein skimmers, filters like Hydra20 and a lot of stuff even at the start-up..Dodge thanks alot for this simple and informative video..

Jeff Henderson - 9 years ago

+michaelvideo's Basically, the answer is yes. If your current hang-on filter has a bio-wheel, then certainly! If not, then you'll just need to do frequent water changes which you should do anyway. Depending on what animals you want, your current lighting might work as well. If you want to develop and learn about corals, spend a little on LEDs. I got a fantastic clip-on blue/white actinic for $20.

MrWaddlezzzz - 9 years ago

How difficult is it to care for a tank at college? I'm going this year and really want to bring my tank but I'm worried about water changes and how difficult it will be ?

Jeff Henderson - 9 years ago

+MrWaddlezzzz It's not hard....especially for nanos. Keep one gallon mixing (with an airstone) at all times. Then, once a week or so just replace old water with new. It's so much simpler than people think. Fresh sea water is cheap, easy and it replaces 1000s of dollars in equipment.

Dodge Andersen - 9 years ago

+MrWaddlezzzz It's definitely something that is going to take a lot of your time so you have to decide if it's worth it. Sometimes I felt as if my tank was taking my time I could have been studying but if you're a good time manager you should be fine

Wirty - 9 years ago

+Johanan Micaiah yea its saltwater.. thats kinda overstocked i would only do the 2 clowns imo.

Jeff Henderson - 9 years ago

+Andreas Chryseliou In such a small system, a refugium isn't a viable option. These tanks (and I have four) would be ridiculous if you tried to maintain separate cleansing filters....water changes are really about all you need but you have to stay on top. I simply run bio-wheels (Marineland) and change one gallon every other day (or three days if I get lazy) and there's no need for skimming or dosing or expensive filtration equipment. Just take used water out and put new water in.

Jeff Henderson - 9 years ago

+Johanan Micaiah It's a ten gallon tank, man. THAT is fully stocked.

Johanan Micaiah - 9 years ago

+Andreas Chryseliou ok tks

Andreas Chryseliou - 9 years ago

+Johanan Micaiah I'm not entirely sure, I've never run a refugium myself.

I know that there are many 'display' refugiums which are designed to look nice as well as serve a purpose.

Most of these have multiple forms of macro-algae's or Mangrove plants.

I don't know if you can just 'not' grow ugly algae's in a fuge though.

Johanan Micaiah - 9 years ago

+Andreas Chryseliou If you had a tank full of macroalgae, like a planted tank, would that mean that undesirable algae will be outcompeted? That is after all the function of refugiums right?

Andreas Chryseliou - 9 years ago

Yes, a water change is the best thing for a small tank.

Skimping out on maintenance is just a recipe for algae blooms.

Johanan Micaiah - 9 years ago

+Andreas Chryseliou But even if there was one clown, husbandry should still be carried out right?

Andreas Chryseliou - 9 years ago

There's also only 10 Gallons.

In reality, just one of those Clowns would max out the stock capacity for a 10G.

As long as the husbandry is taken care of though, it should be fine.
