Need more videos! I've watched tons of YouTube videos on saltwater tanks, but you really presented, and explained it in a way that anyone can understand. If you continue to put out more videos, your channel will grow astronomically. Keep up the good work, and cant wait to see the new room you've been working on! So excited!

I am a saltwater tank virgin, and I just started my tank 3 days ago. I have to say that your videos have been very descriptive and mostly helpful. This is exactly a type of videos I need. Thank you so much and keep them coming.

+eQuatics Nice, i think i will end up at 1200$ for the new equipment and all necessary stuff, but maybe that number will change slightly from watching your videos;)
And thanks btw for the tip, but I actually have a tank already, a shallow AIO 50g that i built like 6-7 months ago. Really nice tank. Totall dimensions are 43x26x12" water depth. Fish space are 34x26x12 and the rest is sump space So that i can fit a good sized skimmer back there.

+Nil us It's an expensive hobby, however I'm under 1,000$ at this point and I'll prove that you can build a pretty nice reef tank with SPS's and all. The key is water changes, and a proper cycle. Definitely look at things like the JBJ 45, Nuvo 40, or some older Red Seam MAX 130D's. you can have some very nice setups with those. unless you want to go bigger. I tend to stick to Cubes because their shape, really made to well to have say 1 set of light you know. (I say that and I'm running 2 sets now haha)

+eQuatics Yeah It can get scary complicated! I am 3 years in of planing and actually had tank, scape built, and all equipment ready. And then came that famous unexspected exspens that forced me to sell everything except the tank good enough. So now i am about to get new equpment and try this again, and so far you have explained cycling better then any forum thread or youtube video i have seen.

Thanks bro. I miss newyorksteelo! The last post I saw was that he lost his mom to a battle against cancer and now had to take care of his younger brother. That was almost 3 yrs ago.

And ya, as for my Goni, I treat it like a torch, mysis and reef roids or some plankton like food.
