    I've worked in the aquarium industry in a bunch of roles so take my advice fwiw. 1) Consider a protein skimmer. 2) Only top up with RO water,particularly if you have rays. 3) As others have suggested, some smaller scattered rock outcrops on the right side will make things look more natural. 4)A big school of Chromis or even better, some of the simpler Anthias species would look amazing. 5) Orphek's Amazonas LED pendants would light your tank perfectly.

    Stocking ideas for this massive saltwater tank? A couple of triggerfish, a couple of parrot fish, a couple of angelfish, a big spiny lobster, a couple of big tridacna clams, a pink-footed sea cucumber, several cleaner wrasses, several cleaner shrimps lots of cerith snails, lost of scarlet hermit crabs, a big conch snail, lots of macroalgae and a bonnethead shark.

    • @javocob
      @javocob 3 місяці тому +1

      Wont the parrotfish just eat all the invertebrates?

    • @glub9075
      @glub9075 Місяць тому

      triggerfish and parrot fish will eat the clams ( also the clams need tonnes of calcium and high lighting) the sea cucumber, cleaner shrimp and hermit crabs. the bonnethead sharks get a metre long so too big. Also probably 1 cleaner wrasse because they need to eat constantly and they pick things off other fish which could stress the other fish out if they are constantly being picked at by tonnes of cleaner wrasses.

    I would definitely frame the outside pond, it would look so good! Start with a frame and fill it in with some nice fence pickets ! It would look killer guys ! Love how it came out btw ! Keep up the good work !

  • @eddyortiz8110
    @eddyortiz8110 3 місяці тому +6

    You should fill it up higher and add a ton of the bottles beneficial bacteria in the bottle to get that filter re seeded. When it sits everything died and is super toxic,need a few back washes and the BB to bring it back to life.
    First fish should be some Grunts or any cheap fish to cycle it. Then catch and release them. Looks great a couple big chunks from the place will be cool on the right,not the little pieces.

    I would try to add some rocks onto the wall of the tank, more like a professional aquarium. While it might be more permanent might work well, could be some sort of cliff-like thing overhang which fish really like
    The sand does make it look quite a lot better too!

    Congrats on your nice set up fishguys… Would be good to start with a school of blue/green chromis… They will cycle the pond and at the same time will be future fishes to lure the bigger ones to come out to eat and not just hide in the rock structure…

    Guys,
    I’m concerned about the pond structure. I would’ve liked to see horizontal braces at the very top, going directly horizontal across the top, one on each side of the glass or viewing window. The salt water is going to press outward. Yet I have not finished watching this video. I’m rooting for a spectacular salt water habitat and many many follow up videos showing the development of coral and fish!!!

    Hanging a light from the ceiling might be a little difficult due to the position of the garage door. Other than that I think it's looking great. Have you thought about exhaust fans for when the garage door is closed? The humidity level will be rather high and could lead to mold and mildew on the walls and ceiling. Great job guys! Looks amazing!

  • @NicksNeature
    @NicksNeature 3 місяці тому +1

    I don't think you guys need more rock, but the rock structure should have been directly the middle of the window so that larger fish could swim all the way around it and it would've eliminated the massive blind spot on the left!

    You should add more rocks on the right side for sure.. and if possible build some kinda cave/rock system that blocks the view from the window of the flow system.. obviously dont block the pipes flow but like build the rocks in a way that u still have good flow but without having to stare at pvc pipe.

    A big school of look Downs first.
    I would put a surface skimmer off of your intake line and make a pvc diy surface skimmer too. And that way you can set your height and you'll know where to set the sensor for ato.
    And for lighting just get four or five decent-sized Radeon lights and hang them above the pond spread out. You're going to want something with blue light for saltwater just to bring those colors out better in your fish. A lot saltwater fish have iridescence under blue light.. special your angels.

I'm sure after fish go in it'll be more vibrant but I feel like it needs some extra umph if that makes sense XD besides that looks awesome. If you decide to go for another rock structure on the right I think that'd look good too!

    The outtake that you guys designed and built is fine just put it coming out the corner instead of straight out the center of the pool or pond I mean sorry I didn't mean to disrespect you fish guys

    Looking at the water level and noticed the cut out for the glass fixture looks to be off level a bit. This could have effect on structure stability and integrity.
