  • Welcome to my channel, where I'll be sharing my experience and knowledge in the world of reef tank setup! In this video, I'll take you on a journey through my history in the hobby, as well as provide you with valuable insights I've gained over my 20 years of maintaining reef tanks.
    Setting up a 90-gallon reef tank in Alaska comes with its own unique challenges, and I'm excited to show you how I tackle them head-on. Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or just starting out, this step-by-step guide on how to set up a reef tank will be a valuable resource for you.
    First, I'll dive into my personal journey in the reef aquarium hobby, sharing the ups and downs, the lessons learned, and the milestones achieved. I'll also discuss the joys of creating a thriving underwater ecosystem right in the comfort of your own home.
    Since I've had previous tanks, I'll showcase the equipment I already have and how it will be integrated into the new setup. It's always beneficial to repurpose existing gear when starting a new project, as it not only saves money but also helps create a sense of familiarity and continuity.
    To complete my setup, I'll be relying on the exceptional products and services provided by Bulk Reef Supply, no this video isn't sponsored, but they're one of the only places that ships to Alaska. I'll walk you through the equipment I still need to order and explain why I chose these specific products to ensure the success of my new reef tank.
    Join me on this exciting journey as we bring a stunning 90-gallon reef tank to life in the breathtaking backdrop of Alaska.

    Hydros is a great option as a controller - there is a device coming out soon call the kraken that is part of a controller system will make battery backup and other stuff easier. You can add as large a car battery as you need

    Was up from OC California. Have lots of fun on your build. By the way you should create a section called “ smashed the equipment”. Where you get to smashed because it failed miserably 😅

      The selection in Oklahoma was thin, however, shipping was MUCH easier than up here. It’s honestly easier to catch an alaska air flight to LAX, pick out my coral and fish, then fly home. #foreshadowing

    I would also look at a hydros controller because each component is a back up brain for the controller system

      So. Freaking. True! It's not a hobby, it's a lifestyle. If you set a tank up on mars, what would be the first coral you'd bring with you to put in it?
