Did the media basket idea work ok?

Thank you very much for sharing, I found that my Spec V filter is not sucking much water in, no matter i turn switch up or down. How about this Mini-jet 606, could you share a video of your current tank? thanks.

Uhmmm....

Uhmmm...

can u still put the heater there?

No more vids?

Get this thing wet tomorrow 😂

Can I plz have that Min-jet 606 I can't find one

Seal not sell. Autocorrect lol

Hi why did you sell the little slot when you started this video?

That anemone isn't supposed to be pink that means it's bleached

nice tank ! so what did you do to the 110 HOB ? and whats in it

Hi, I'm just wondering how the media basket has been working out for you. I got the media basket and they arrived today, but what I noticed is that there's actually some space between the basket and the walls of the tank around it. It seems like water could just flow right down the side instead of down the middle through the filter. I just wanted to see what your thoughts on are these and if you've had good experience with them so far. Thanks!

What mods did you make to the fluval 110?

There fether dusters let them grow they look cool when they get bigger

Hey nice setup, i would like to know what brand (and Spectrum) is the par38 bulb at 3:50 ? Thanks

What its for Green light at 3:50???

intank makes a media basket for this tank

I thank you for the vid. I am following you're footsteps in upgrading my fluval as well. The stock fluval pump is rated at only 83 gallons per hour max. The new pump should work wonders and be effective with my hydor water deflector.

Is this tank still running? What did you end up using as a filter?

Hey what did you end up doing for the lights on the spec v? Please help

Is the stock pump enough for salt water fish only?

What is the max flow rate for the stock fluval spec 5 water pump? Thanks

Spec v looks great. Just got my video up on mine. Just curious how noisy is the 606 pump in there? I heard it is a lot louder than before.

thats a cool media basket, ive made one in the past for a aquaclear but its about time someone came out w one for the aquaclear

That's a nice buddy

I wouldn't start with anything smaller than a 20 gallon if you have the space and money to do so. It is always easier to spend the money once because the parts and pieces are really specific to each tank size give or take a little, ie the flow needed for fish/corals, filtration needed for water volume and given fish/corals, etc. My buddy is setting up a 33 long which mark my words I WILL HAVE in the future. Same height and depth as a 10 gallon but 4ft long. check some vids of those.

Awesome glad I could help!!! I couldn't agree more on doing away with the powerhead since we are so limited on space with these tanks, it also gives it a much cleaner look. Thanks again and it is always comforting to know that I helped someone out.

Hey, man! Just wanted to thank you. Your Fluval Spec V vids have helped me immensely in setting up my nano reef tank. That 606 is a great way to skip on a powerhead - especially in such a small tank - and keep the tank looking very clean.

Im not sure what size to start with

I get my mixed saltwater from my local fish store....he only deals in saltwater stuff and i believe he only has ro water. never given me an issue but many recommend the di to just get everything 100% pure. I don't require a lot of water otherwise i would just buy a ro/di unit. I will be getting one once I buy a house and get a 220 or bigger tank rolling!! lol.....what size tank are you wanting to start out with? Thanks I love my tank also. I am due for a much needed update

did you use ro/di water in your tank, im wanting to set up a sw tank and am trying to get all the info to set up...

love this tank

Can I have you old pump? The one that came with your tank?

i don't remember lol. If i had to guess i would say somewhere around.....200-300 without rock/sand/water/livestock

Thanks and welcome to the Spec V club lol !!!!!

Looks great, man. Building a Spec V myself. Glad to see it is going well for you.

How much did this entire setup cost?

Thanks, yeah monticaps are sweet. What do you suspect went wrong with them? From what i have heard they like high light. They are pretty hardy and from what people tell me they grow like weeds once they get going.

Really like the monticaps! Unfortunately I have pretty bad luck with montis,

If you were only going fowlr... yes the stock lights would be just fine. It is really hard to resist adding corals and once you add one its on from there. I am really diggin the ecoxotic leds. They have proven to be a great fixture and would highly recommend them. The price is great and the quality is awesome.

I think you could leave them there for their whole life but for full grown mature clowns personally I would like to see them in a minimum 10 gallon tank. The 5 gallon is only a temporary home until the 20 long is ready which it is, I just haven't moved them over yet. Then the 5 gallon will be a frag/qt tank for new corals or sick fish just in case. Always need a back up in the marine world.

Can you leave the two clowns in the 5 gallon their whole life or do you have to sell them off when they reach a certain size

If I wanted to start a FOWLR tank, will the stock lighting be sufficent or will I have to upgrade. And what lighting fixture would you recommend if I upgrade the lights?

lol thanks. I swear I could fix anything with zip ties. Only problem is not having enough lol.

funny you say that because i noticed some legs poppin out under the zoo's when i feed the acan. hell yeah freebies baby

dude I think I saw two starfish in your 20 gallon ;)

Thanks. Yeah they really are a great little starting platform. Bought the tank at petco for 79, pump was 16 on amazon. Obviously you will have to upgrade the lights to make it a reef tank. I will have another video up this week showing all the frags i have in this sucker and my 20 long

Awesome vid, I really want to mod one of these into a cool little reef tank

I love those lights the video doesn't do it justice
