My NEW Saltwater Aquarium

New saltwater aquarium that I got! It’s not done yet, but whatever, I thought I’d show you anyway.

My 10 Gallon Salt Water Fish Tank

Firefish goby, Blood Red Shrimp, Purple Condy, two turbo snails, two blue hermit crabs, a starfish, and two Percula Clowns

How to setup a basic saltwater aquarium?

I have 3 green spotted puffers that I will be putting in the 30 gallon tank. They will be going from extreme brackish to full salt water. I also want to put a starfish in the tank as well as crabs and clownfish.

I do not plan on having any living rock in my aquarium. I already have the heater, filters, a wavemaker, and air pump+stones… now what else do I need/need to do in order to make this happen?

Thanks in advance!

90 Gallon Saltwater Fish Tank

We upgraded to a 90 gal tank. Here’s a list of some of what we have (and their names): Gold Striped Maroon Clown (Benjamin) Red headed goby (Goober) Koran Angel (Express) Diamond Goby (Spot) Niger Trigger (Nigel) Huma Huma Trigger (Picasso) Royal Sea Urchin (Crown) Sand Sifter Starfish Carpet Anemone Xenia’s There are still a few crabs and snails left in the tank, but the triggers got to most of them. We put the two triggers in the tank together at the same time and they get along great, as you can see!! Even the Angel takes a liking to the Niger and follows him around. Most of the video is muted, but on some parts you will hear the two triggers teeth as they eat shrimp or silver sides. Yes the Angel eats anything and everything you feed the others, but he does have a healthy serving of algae too. Soon we will be upgrading this tank to a 125 or bigger for the angel and triggers as they grow. The tank is NOT dirty…the triggers are very messy eaters. When they are not eating the water is clear.

Is it possible to run a UV sterilizer on a saltwater aquarium without a chiller?

I own a 60 gallon saltwater reef tank with multiple tangs, chromies, starfish and shrimp. It has been running for 3 months and i have it being filter with a coralife 125 gal protein skimmer as well as a 10gal sump. I have plenty of room for a UV sterilizer but i don’t want to by a chiller.

What equipment is needed for a saltwater aquarium?

I have a freshwater aquarium right now and would like to switch it eventually to a small saltwater aquarium. My tank is 10 gallons so I was planning on only getting one clown fish with a starfish or shrimp. I have a heater, an out of the tank filter, and thermometer. Is a protein skimmer and an air pump also necessary? Also my tank light is quite old and doesn’t have the wattage on it, so should i assume that I would need to upgrade the cover on my aquarium?
