- In this video we install a brand new Aquaforest Oceanguard aquarium and discuss the features we like on these aquariums.
Aquaforest made a really slick all in one package reef aquarium. These make great fish tanks for beginner to advanced aquarists.
Cool video, thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family.....🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊🙂😀
Thanks so much for watching John!
Tanks and equipment are great only trouble is the cabinet colours. Not every one wants black or white some of us have oak or other wood funiture
Great video 👍
Thanks for watching
I am a new subscriber. Nice to know your channel.
Subscribed to yours as well, I would love to see betas in there natural habitat, pretty cool you were able to catch some.
@@tanknicians8839 They are really popular in my local area. I will have some more video about them soon. Thank you very much for the sub. I didn't expect that you will do that. Love.
i have to say thats a reall sick aquascape nice job... only thing is i will never start another tank with dry rock ever again ! only going live rock from now on. all my tanks were extremely successful with live rock up until my last tank which was an epic failure for a year and a half. dry rock is the devil.
Thanks and thanks for watching!
I will remember this advise for my salt water tank. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. I am looking to purchase the exact same tank. What GPH did you use for the return pump? I am looking at the reef octopus Vario s-2. In regards to the filter section. Does the take allow removal of the filter socks and add a fleece roller? My 90g reef tank I spend a lot on filters. Did you use two AI prime 16's or do you suggest two hydra 32's. Does the sump have and area to add the heater? Sorry for all the questions.
I’m not sure about adding a fleece roller, however there is space for heaters and
Varios 2 should be fine, with the overflow design its probably better to run less than more flow.
Two primes fine for most corals, higher light corals you would want the hydra 32s
No worries on questions happy to help 👍
Did you put power heads into the tank or no? I didn’t see any. Also what Sicce return pump did you choose to put on this aquarium? Only one AI Prime 16 had as well? Also the skimmer what brand and model? Sorry for all the questions, was just looking into buying one of these starter pack systems. I’ve seen you on Paul’s channel a bunch so I know any information I can get from you is great information. New to your channel though. Thank you for the time and helping me out.
Hey Trevor we used two ai prime’s. This is plenty for your typical mixed reef, personally for the price and ability to position them however you want if he wanted a higher light demanding system I’d prefer 4 primes over two hydra 32s anyway.
Power head will be added later Nero’s are likely best bet for this size aquarium but it does depend on your scape. We went with a coneS co 1 skimmer here, he plans on having a light bio load.
Off the top of my head I don’t remember which Sicce we installed but for this size tank I’d recommend 320-800 gph flow- take headloss into consideration.
@@tanknicians8839 awesome thank you. For a heavy bioload what would you recommend as far as skimmer. Any other items you put into this build? UV, CO2 scrubber, etc, or was it pretty bare bones. Also what doser would you recommend if one at all for something this size? How many power heads and I’m guessing the Nero 3?
@@trevorsantos6658 we like to put the minimum equipment in at first and let the tank tell us what it needs as it matures.
I want to know if dealing liverock is illegal action?
Different countries have different laws. In Florida it’s not easy to get a permit to collect rock and sand, I think the rock here comes from land leases where people lease part of the seafood and dump thousands of pounds of rock to be harvested years later.
That being said many of the pests that come in on live rock make dry rock superior in the long run if your goal is to have a pest free aquarium.
How many gallon is the display part of the tank?
82 gallons
and I confuse why so many reeftanks be made by famous companies only use sorts of tiny ridiculous skimmers
is it for 49.9 dollors?
Modern skimmers are more efficient than older skimmers and so can operate in a smaller form factor. This skimmer is appropriately sized. If you put too large of a skimmer you can remove too much or it might not be sized appropriately for the flow going through the sump. Many factors to consider.
This is not a $50 skimmer.
Thanks for watching hope this helps.
And the tank is ready to grow Algaes. Fish before corals. The biggest mistake one can do. This is like we are stil in the 80's and have absolutely no clue about how to start a tank. Cycle, cycle biggest bs in reef keeping!
Algae is already plural, alga is singular. We find it’s fine to add a few fishes first and hardy corals that can handle algae for microbial diversity.
