How to make your first reef tank! | 1 Gallon Pico Reef Tank Ep. 1

Episode one of my Pico Reef Tank Series! In this episode I take you through the process of setting up a cheap and easy 1 gallon saltwater aquarium. My tank has no filter, no heater, and no skimmer. There are lots of myths that a reef tank under 3 gallons is super difficult so hopefully over this series we can disprove them all!! Subscribe to see the corals grow and the reef evolve!

I was able to use a lot of scrap materials I got from other reefers and my local aquarium store so here’s the budget breakdown.

Materials:
Live rock ($12)
Sand (free)
Aquarium salt mix ($30)
Glass bowl (free)
Pulsing Xenia frag (free)
Xoanthid frag ($20)
Green Macroalgae (free)
2 Blue Legged Hermit Crabs ($4)

Total Cost:
under $70
