- Have you ever wanted a second tank
on your desk at work?
Or maybe you're completely new to this hobby
and want something small and simple
to start your salt water aquarium journey.
Well, I have the perfect truly all-in-one bundle
that includes everything you need, except your livestock.
Introducing the Bulk Reef Supply Deskmate 3.8 gallon
all-in-one nano tank bundle.
Its that one right there.
Made of lightweight cast acrylic,
the Eshopps Deskmate is 3.8 gallons in total water volume
and the orange base makes the entire setup
look like it's glowing.
Sitting on four small acrylic feet,
the Deskmate features six millimeter thick acrylic panels
and a rear filtration chamber with filter sock,
large central compartment for future upgrades,
and an Eshopp Circa 100,
110 gallon per hour AC return pump.
The Curve Lite LED
conveniently attaches to the rear panel
and easily puts out enough PAR for soft and LPS corals.
In fact, I broke out the PAR meter
to double check the PAR range throughout the tank,
and it turns out, it's between 90 and 100
in each of the four corners,
95 PAR on the top of the rock in the front
and 102, 126 and 100 PAR respectively,
on top of the arch.
The Curve Lite comes with a simple on and off switch
with 20 white LEDs and four blue LEDs
that gives off a more daylight spectrum
for that more natural look.
When paired with a wifi outlet or a controller,
it's really easy to set up an automated sunrise and sunset.
And finally, the felt filter sock
provides the primary mechanical filtration for this tank.
But this is just everything inside the Eshopps box.
This bundle also includes the CaribSea Life Rock Nano Kit
with a mix of arches and various sized base rock.
The five included pounds is way more than you'll need.
So you'll have a good selection
when building your aquascape.
The 10 pound bag of CaribSea Arag-Alive Fiji pink
gives you around five to 10 more times sand than you need
so you can just save the rest for a future build.
The Sea Side Aquatics ceramic biospheres
will drastically increase the potential
for biological filtration
and they conveniently come in their own mesh bag.
The tried and true Eheim Jager 25 watt heater
fits nicely into the rear chamber.
And the ridiculously large,
55 pound bag of Aquaforest sea salt
will keep you set up with water changes
for probably well over a year.
Lastly, the 100 milliliters of Instant Ocean Bio-Spira
nitrifying bacteria will seed your reef rock
and biospheres and get your tank to cycle quickly.
This is by far the easiest tank I have ever set up
and is comprised of installing the filter sock,
biospheres and heater into the rear filtration chamber,
placing the Curve Lite LED on the rear panel,
attaching the tubing to the pump
and screwing the flared nozzle into place.
Then I added a few handfuls of sand,
made a simple aquascape,
filled the tank with mixed sea water,
added the Bio-Spira and water clarifying pouch
and gave it a couple hours to clear up.
The easy part was setting everything up
and now the fun part is filling it with life.
You might actually be surprised
how much you can add to this nano tank
if you do it right.
Keep your bio load low
with only one or two small fish,
a small cleanup crew,
but then go to town
with your soft and large polyp stony corals.
I think everybody deserves a moment of peace
in their hectic workday
or a quiet corner of the house to sit and ponder.
Maybe you're a school teacher
who wants an engaging way
to teach your students about coral reefs and biology.
Or perhaps you're office bound
and just want to add a pop of color
and life to your workspace.
The Bulk Reef Supply Deskmate bundle
is so small and affordable
that you don't even need a reason.
Click here to check it out for yourself
and as always everyone, thanks for watching.
Happy reefing, be well.
We'll see you next time.
