Setting Up A Saltwater Tank: Equipment Checklist - Part 1 What You NEED (& What It Costs)

#howtosetupasaltwateraquarium #howmuchisasaltwateraquarium

I run through EVERY piece of equipment you'll need to set up a marine tank. This is the starting equipment you'll need and nothing else. This is not just the skimmer, lights and powerheads - it's all the other buts you need too that other people might not tell you about. So you'll have no surprises when you go to buy your tank.

I also list all the prices of the equipment so you'll know how much a new tank and equipment will cost you. This is based on a typical Red Sea Reefer 250 setup.

The total cost might surprise you...
