Don’t expect to be an expert by the end of this video. If you were to watch a 15 minute video on how to play the piano, I doubt you would expect to be Sergei Rachmaninoff. But, I bet you could learn a few things and get started playing! You won’t be a marine biologist after this video… But, you will know enough to get started. 1) Research There are a ton of resources out there for learning more, so let me recommend a few. Your goal in research is not to become an expert, but to decide what type of saltwater tank you want. 2) Decide on tank & buy gear Smaller tanks are more affordable, but aren’t big enough to hold much livestock. For example, a 20-gallon tank might be able to hold 3-5 small fish, corals, crabs, and snails, but not much more. 3) Setup your hardware Choose location- not too sunny, good temperature consistency so not near a heater, and with outlets near by. If you get large tank, make sure your floor can support the weight. 4) Leak test Add tap water, wipe it down, and let it sit for 24 hours, checking occasionally for any leaks Drain 5) Add sand & aquascape Buy enough sand to cover the bottom of your tank 1-2” depth. I’d recommend stacking the rocks in whatever way is aesthetically pleasing to you. Keep them away from the glass so you can get an algae scraper in there. 6) Add saltwater & cycle your tank You can either buy saltwater or make it yourself with an RO/DI filter and seawater mix. 7) Organize wires & drip loops Drip loops are essential to prevent electrical fires or damage. Use zip ties, cable organizers, and a label maker to organize your wires. Keep them away from the water. 8) Perform 50% water change Now that your tank is fully cycled, it’s time to reduce those nitrates. Change out half of your saltwater with freshly made saltwater. 9) Add fish Acclimate- float your aquarium bags in your tank for 20 minutes to equalize the temperature. Then use a piece of airline tubing to slowly add water from your tank to the bucket with the fish. After about 30 minutes, gently catch the fish and release them into their new home. Make sure the aquarium lights are off when doing this to reduce stress. 10.
