I meant to be watching a lecture, but Dr. Plants uploaded so I know what I’m watching.

Would love to see more saltwater aquarium videos, love all your content

literally my dream to have a tank like this one day 😭 gorgeous and i love seeing how you take care of the coral!

I basically marathoned your channel today upon discovering it and god damn it I’ve watched every second of it 😭😭 it’s so interesting and I love that all the products are linked so people who are interested can get started easily, cost friendly too.

Those Xenia are going to be a pain when they start to spread. To keep them from taking over the tank, we usually isolate them to their own space. Also, one of the reasons for water changes is to return minerals to the tank. You don’t have any hard coral, plating montipora, birds nest and the sort, in there so returning calcium to the system isn’t that important. If your viewers do decided to get hard corals, you’ll either have to supplement with additives or do water changes, or both. However, they still aren’t that difficult to do, and the tanks are still relatively easy to maintain. I Kept a saltwater tank with hard and soft corals, anemone fish, and I even had an aggressive tank for about 15 years. I got out of the hobby cause kids get expensive, and miss it so much. Thanks for sharing your tank, and hope all the best.

My mom and dad had a 300 gallon tank. It was a coral reef with an octopus and jellyfish we also kept blue crabs and blue crawfish. They put blue lights behind the tank for a beautiful scenery. We had a bar and entertainment area in our basement. The tank sat behind the bar as a living wall. We cleaned it once a week as a family and fully drained it twice a year to make sure no moss or mold grew. I enjoyed cleaning the tank with my family. I got to play with the octopus. He was a smart dude, he was very curious about me. I got a small ball for him and we played with it while my mom and dad did the big job. He loved hording certain types rocks so he had a pile of them in his hideout. The corals were very beautiful too. They glowed under the blue light. They also helped filter the tank. The whole room was a controlled environment for the tank. I have great memories of those days. I remember watching the jellyfish booping around and the crabs chased the bubbles with the crawfish. The corals got use to use so we got to watch them move around and wave in the water catching stuff floating by. I wish we had the internet back then I would have had a UKposts channel for sharing the tank with everyone. ☺️

Having just finished my 1st college semester of my biology bachelor, im loving these videos. Its awesome to see all these organisms and go "Oh, I know that one" etc. Also nice to see em alive and not dead and dissected.

DEFINITELY MAKE AN UPDATE VIDEO, this was amazing to watch. Also a list with all the species you’ll be introducing will be great- from corals to algae to fish to crustaceans etc.

The fact is a lot of these little >5gal tanks are terrible for fresh water fish but perfect for nano/pico reefs. Far easier and more ethical than a poor betta or goldfish. And some LPS are virtually indestructible as well as being unusual and pretty. Your set up is beautiful and simple, perfect for what you have stocked. But even then some set ups can be even more minimal - airstone and lights will keep xenia, yellow polyps and a bunch of other softies thriving! (Great for kids, office desk tanks, classrooms and busy people)

Why has it taken so long for youtube to recommend this channel to me. This is amazing

I honestly can't wait for when Dr. Plants comes out with "100 days ago, I built an ocean ecosystem and this happened"

I would love too see a longer video about all the creatures and coral. Keep up the great videos they are always fascinating!

Loved seeing the corals eating their dinner 😍 hope to see more of this. Excellent as always Dr Plants 👌☘️🐛🐝 🦀

Your video inspired me to setup my own tank. 3 months in, it has been challenging, but still enjoyable. I don't necessarily need a video update as I know that's time consuming, but I'd love to hear how everything has been doing since you started. Thanks!

I've wanted a coral tank for so long and I always thought you needed more for it. This is so easy and simple. Thank you for sharing. I really want this for my living room.

Can't imagine how many chores you have to keep up with, spread between every living thing you take care of. Great work!

Beautiful tank! Great build and explanation. Super inspirational that you made it so accessible and affordable. Thank you!

The is is such a gem channel... I'm gonna binge watch

Thank you for taking the time and effort to share your passion online! Your videos are outstanding 🌟🌟🌟 we need so many more 🤩

These videos always make me feel so impatient. I just want to see how it all develops over time! I cannot wait for future updates, but the waiting will only make it sweeter to see how this tank progresses x

Thank you for showing how reef keeping isn't as intimidating as many people think.

This dudes bonsai care level must be master class.

BRINGIN' NERDY BACK. This guy deserves some kind of recognition beyond just a subscription button. This guy should be on the news or something. Real content. So sick of short, amalgamated videos made of other peoples' content. This tank is awesome. Would love an update. I recommend you do it like those cute animal documentaries where you follow a few key creatures and document their lives for a few days then stitch it together into a story.

I hardly ever comment on UKposts videos but in this rare instance I've made an exception. Your channel is one of the most unique platforms that I've seen here. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and hard-work, it has been truly amazing to watch and I look forward to seeing further content. Greetings from Germany :)

Looks amazing, your definitely one of my favourite youtubers by how creative you can be with your videos. Keep up the good work 👍

I really like how you effectively use the filter foam in almost every one of your projects. Heck you actually gave me some ideas for using filter foam to improve my aquaponics system.

I study environmental sciences and marine life. I am happy with these videos and I hope to try them all in my home

I have been wanting to start a reef tank for the past 2 years but all the videos I saw were 17 parts. You made it so easy with one video. I’m making my tank today.

I was doing some homework and finished up quickly to watch your video! I am learning marine zoology right now and it would be awesome to see more aquarium videos. I'm so interested to see how many tanks you have! A tour of all your animals would be cool too. Love your content!

Beautiful is not enough, magnificent is not enough either. It's perfect jm definitely interested in seeing more

As someone who likes keeping heavily planted freshwater tanks, I would absolutely love a deep dive on the role macro-algae is playing in this setup. Liked, subscribed and hit the bell because I would always watch highly detailed videos on setup, maintenance, ecology, etc. Your tanks are so beautiful and your production quality is so good, so I would love more behind the scenes content.

i would love to see longer, more in depth videos. your channel is amazing and gives so much information. glad i found you!

Amazing video, just a few quick comments and suggestions as a long time reefer: Avoid positioning rock scale within and in of any glass wall you wish to keep clean and clear. This will make cleaning with any tool much much easier. Be cautious of rinsing Marco rock with tap water, it is pours and can absorb lots of water, some of which could contain highly undesirable chemicals like chlorine and ammonia

I’m so looking forward to a update! I’ve rewatched all your videos so many times now and you’ve created a whole new interest for me!

Man no wonder when people ask me questions i can answer them, im learning so much when i watch your videos! 🌊🐠🐟

Please, It would be so awesome to see you do a maintenence day on each of your vivariums and aquariums! Even if theyre just little things, it would be so peaceful. A livestream of this tank would be awesome too.

We need more aquarium/vivarium build! Your videos are so good I don't check for other channel in the fear I'm disappointed with the quality of the video.

After almost 20 years of yt... This is the top 5 content and channel. Nirvana

I don’t know how you can be more efficient. It’s so amazing thank you !

It so cool watching you take an empty tank and make it an entire slice of nature.

I’m homeschooling, and i think your videos are super awesome. I really like the fact that you show step by step instructions in your videos, I am looking forward to future videos

Came back for a replay, I could watch this forever *-*

This looks therapeutic. Watching the corals wave just looked relaxing.

Awesome video! Its my understanding that the main reason for a water change in a reef tank is to replenish nutrients and trace elements for the coral. While the Macro algae will be great for maintaining excess nutrients, the overall nutrients will eventually deplete. You will need to either dose those nutrients or do a water change of about 10-20 percent to replenish.

Id love to know more about this tank. Ive always wanted saltwater but with less maintenance

Wow! That's another level to our sweet water fish tank we have at home. I wanted to make one small just for shrimps, however, I maybe start with one with corals first! Thank you!

years ago i was really wanting a saltwater tank but I didn't have the space for anything bigger than a 5 gallon. all the builds I saw were for 40g minimum and as a beginner I didn't really wanna deviate from what I saw more experienced people do. i'd practically given up on that idea until I move out but this renewed my interest. thank you for showing me this is possible! instant subscribe, awesome stuff.

A huge fan of your vids and the effort you put in them keep it up👍

Man, two things I'd suggest. First, take you videos in HDR and upload them with HDR enabled. Those watching video like this one on a OLED would cry from seeing all those beautiful colors. And second thing, you could do an infinite stream of this tank and I'm sure a lot people would watch it. It's soooo calming.

Would love an update on this setup! Animals added, maintenance, general setup guidelines? My daughter loves fish and this would be a great way to pique her curiosity!

Dude it’s amazing how much you’ve grown, I remember watching your very first video when it just came out and you sounded so shy/ not used to speaking on camera😂 but look at you know man, your growth has been insane and you speak so much more confidently and enthusiastically in your vidoes it’s obvious you enjoy what you do. I have a feeling you’ve gotten quite comfortable being a content creator now

This is so weird and cool to watch your channel grow. I watched your first video when it only had a couple thousand views. It’s only weird because I’ve never been there since the beginning of a channel! Keep up the great work!!

This really wanted me to start a 4 gallon salt water tank! Its so amazing how beautiful some of the coral and fish can be

Dr. Plant has gotten me into doing tank builds for my own home....

Dude, put some animals in the new tank, we NEED that video, please !

Keep up the great work! ive been loving these videos and they've even inspired me to build my own paladarium

The editing is so amazing and you really make me think about nature‘s beauties thank you 🍷

This video is absolutely phenomenal. I would love to have a small salt water set up.

I never thought I'd be into reef tanks or paludariums or wasp nests til I started watching your videos (I'm not even sure how I got here... about 6 to 8 months ago I think). Whilst I don't think I'll ever be able to afford or even confident enough to build one myself (I can barely remember to take my meds every day never mind looking after an entire ecosystem!) I love watching you build & maintain these miniature worlds!

I can't tell you how much I love this content! UKposts has let me explore so many hobbies and passions; and your videos make me to take up a new one. Thanks again!

I love what you do! I think this channel is a great resource for learning about earth science and the internal functions of an ecosystem--it's fascinating to see the different things you put in a tank to fulfill the needs of the creatures inside. My mom teaches science classes and I've already shown her your desert ecosystem build. I want to show her this one, too!

I've always wanted a tank of fish because of how beautiful they are. However I have very little time. Until this video that just randomly popped up in my recomendeds I didn't even know Coral tanks were a thing. You've given me something fun to maybe try in the future (After a ton of research) I can't wait to check out more of your videos later. This is stunning and worth the like and subscribbing by a lot. Love the video!

This is absolutely beautiful! I've always wanted to have a little slice of the ocean for myself and after seeing how to make my own and how to care for it, I'm definitely going to try a similar build!! Thank you for this amazing video and I hope to see that follow up video soon!!

I love how you make reef keeping safe and easy

This man just did the impossible. Made me interested in something to do with water and not bugs. 😮

Such a beautiful little tank, the way the coral move is so fascinating. Definitely kept my interests up!

Keep up the good work Dr. Plants! We love watching the progress of your projects and can’t wait to watch each and every video 😍 lots of love from Australia 🇦🇺

0:38 “These are great because they're very very quite” *proceeds to lower voice 🤣

Your videos is so relaxing to watch. I like how concise you present information, it’s very entertaining.

I can’t love what you do enough. That’s amazing!!! Very cool

Hi im from the UK and i love the way your builds turn out can you do an update on all these in a few months time with any issues you have had etc. Please keep these going so intresting to watch.

I can't believe I am just now seeing this, absolutely remarkable and you have a brilliant mind

Its too beautiful👏👏👏

I always genuinely thought a saltwater tank was a lot more work and a lot more complex. Now all of the sudden I want to make one lol

This is such a beautiful tank the animals the rocks it just adds so much detail that it’s beautiful and the water plants

You’ve inspired me to keep my own slice of the ocean 🪸

I love this channel it has so many different variations of life.I My brother and my family watch this show when we are on road trips. P.S. I love the channel so much ❤❤

Been really enjoying your content! Would love more updates on your current and future ecosystems. Keep up the great work!

Yes!!!! These corals are so beautiful & so are your vids.

Seeing this 3 months late but would love to see an update man. Your tanks are the best on UKposts by a mileee

My son and I love watching your channel!!! Keep going!

Man you make me want to get into this hobby sooooo badly.... Excellent videos, keep em coming!

Yay!! I'm so happy! I love wildlife this looks awesome. I love the way the coral moves in the waters. It looks like it's dancing!

Screw the algorithm this is awesome!! This is our friggin planet it should blow peoples minds!!

All your builds look amazing and I would love to see more. Keep up the good work 👍

I’ve been super excited to see this video!! You did an amazing and breathtaking job 😊 I can’t wait to see more!

this is AMAZING! Seriously got me thinking about making my own reef at 1 in the morning... huge thumbs up from a fan from Australia!

I’ve always wanted some kind of saltwater aquarium. I’ve never had one , but ocean creatures are so cool .

Cool project man! Keep up the good work 😃

This is amazing! I hope to see more videos of this tank in the future

can't wait to see the updates of this great job. thanks for this video!

I would love an update on this tank, it's incredible!

NEW VIDEO ALREADY!!??? keep it up❤

CONGRATULATIONS ON 1 MILLION! 🎉 Your channel really is incredible… you deserve it ❤

You brought me some good memories of my aquarium with anemones, starfish and a crab called Hermínio

I FRICKEN LOVE THIS GUY

This looks so AMAZING you are a very good at explaining what you are doing!

I usually do freshwater setups, but I would love to see a larger version of this with a small school of fish

You should do a tank tour ! Show us all your tanks
