My first marine fish tank | Beginner saltwater aquarium, Fluval Evo 13.5 | How to set up a nano reef

Have you been thinking about starting a saltwater fish tank?
In this video, I’ll show you just how easy it is to set up a simple, beginner-friendly reef aquarium on a budget.

This is my first saltwater aquarium and I have been documenting my journey, including the highs and lows, recording the progress and sharing (hopefully) insightful and straightforward information. So if you’re wondering how to set up a nano reef tank, this video might give you an idea.

This is the first episode in my new salty series where I’ll add fish, corals, invertebrates and more, so be sure to subscribe and follow along as the tank comes to life. If you’re an experienced reefer or just exploring the idea of reef keeping, feel free to share your thoughts & knowledge in the comments.
