As someone who has worked in Aquariums for a few decades, this video is painful. Introducing fish and coral from day one, using the kmart filter, encouraging people to set up a nano as their first step into reef keeping... I love your enthusiasm, and getting people excited for aquaculture but I'm counting the days before I have to deal with customers with major issues from following this advice.
Thank you, im so sick of people acting like you need thousands of dollars and a PHD to start a reef tank. Sold an established 10 gallon over the weekend and the guy (who is brand new to reef keeping mind you) came over and wanted to insult my main setup for not having a protein skimmer or a $1k+ light and i cringed so hard the entire time cause you could tell he learned this all recently and had zero experience. I was just like huh wonder why its been doing so good all these years then?
I’d love this to become a series where she shows how and what to feed, maintenance etc. Considering this is a “beginner tank” I think it would be beneficial
Great video Lauren to be honest I would never have thought of buying any aquarium equipment from Kmart but Kmart is almost gone here in the US only 3 left But besides that thanks for showing this hobby doesn’t have to be expensive or extremely technical. Thanks for sharing aquatic journey
Thanks for the info....I came across your video series on UA-cam by accident and was fascinated. Last marine tank I saw was in KKarratha and had been built into the
Ive actually just bought two of the anko 20l tanks as my first introduction into saltwater. I have kept freshwater tanks for 5+ years now and have always wanted a reef tank. So i bought two of the tanks and am using one as a sump (trying to increase what little water volume there is in there). But i must say, i probably went a tiny bit overboard with what i thought i needed. But overall im loving the experience so far. Cant wait to add one little goby in the distant future
I'm so glad you proved that you can set something like this up for $100. Awesome video! 🤗 I live in Perth WA and going to set up my own tank soon for my work study. I can't wait!
Awesome video Lauren, great setup with endless potential! Nice that everything is from Kmart (and not Walmart!). I would definitely upgrade the heater though.. I wouldn’t trust the anko heater and overall the setup would still be very cheap. Ps your water is very yellow so some carbon can help with that :)
Haha didn’t realise Kmart didn’t exist in the US anymore 😅 it’s a big thing here in Australia. 😊🙌 Sorry about that guys!

I think it's important to note that clownfish do not host anything. Anemones and corals host fish, shrimp, crabs, etc. Clownfish reside in anemones.
no way you put 2 clowns in a 20L. Those poor fish

they jumped up to $39 dollars the tank setup it use to be 26 bucks man
I would double the number of heaters and filters, as back-up🤡
Well this is something I didn't expect to see from Kmart!
Maybe could you talk more about water changes and feeding them, more detail about this stuff for beginners?
Your smile and energy is contagious! Thanks for the great video! 🤩❤️
I am new to the hobby and this Channel has been amazing :D Thankyou Lauren.
