Yeah, clean setup on Brett's tank.

LOL!!! That's hilarious! She actually stopped downstairs while we were shooting and is totally into it.

🤫

YOOOOOOO

LETS GO!

Love your vids man! Thanks for hanging!

Happy to be back!

Thanks Blaine!

Down to the last 2 episodes!

Thank you! Cheers!

Lol! I am really just limiting to the characters I LOVE.

@@BahamaLlamaCoral I thought the same but then they bring out them characters in different costumes and special 😆

That's one of the hardest things to think about. I've been in and out of those thoughts too...really wanna set up a 300g tank but not sure how long we're gonna be at the current house kinda thing.

Thanks for watching Brian!!

I just love the IKEA cabinets. It really creates a high end look for cheap.

@@BahamaLlamaCoral They do look good for a great price!

Thank you 😊

Thank you Lauren!

🤞

Thanks for the watch!

Those APS stands are nice...but they are NOT cheap! Nice hack!

@@BahamaLlamaCoral no they are not. Saved me a few hundred

I'll likely be doing our fall swap this year locally!

@@BahamaLlamaCoral please keep us posted! I’d love to drive up and buy some stuff from ya!

Thank you! Yeah, Brett's tank is/was awesome!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Inspo for sure!

Thanks! Will do!

You and me both!

No problem 👍

For me, it's always fun to feature tanks from all budgets. This is definitely on the expensive side. Like I said to another person...it's great inspiration and if you get 1 or 2 ideas for your own system - I'd consider that a win.

@@BahamaLlamaCoral Totally agree

Where you at? I just might.

@@BahamaLlamaCoral Remy that would be great i would love to show you my reef and setup although not as nice of a setup but my reef (SPS)i think looks amazing. btw my name is Mario i use my wife's PC and email address.i live on the other side of the swamp in Montreal,Canada.it would be cool you can do a 2-3 part series you can see my tank and maybe i can take you to see a couple more home reefs and i'll take you around our local pet shops(you'll notice how much cheaper corals are here)and see how we do things here.we can also drive up to toronto to visit fragbox its a store/farm/utube channel, plenty of content.hey and the beer is epic over here and we have poutine.its just an idea but sounds really cool and maybe you would round up more Canadian subscribers and surpass 25k

Just gotta continue being awesome! Thanks Darci!

It was so young too. Sucks he had to move, that system had so much potential.

@@BahamaLlamaCoral yeah when you said he sold the house I was like dohhhh. Did he leave it all for new owner? Seems like alot of work to tear it all down if new owner didn’t want tank/tank room.

@@TailEndCustoms Apparently, they did not want it. They did a little bit of research and deemed it to be too much work. Happy they were honest. He sold equipment and livestock locally. Hopefully he can get some of those beautiful fish back!

I'll check it out!

I believe the next one is in wall too!

Good question! Shoot him a note on IG or Facebook.

To each their own - exactly what I love about this hobby!

Me and my dad sorry

It's halted right now as I rearrange the room but mine are still spawning every 2 weeks or so.

What has your experience been with Kalk and heavy SPS?

In equipment?

@@BahamaLlamaCoral Lolz no Subscribers!!! I can't add up how much I've spent over the years.

St Louis.

Right?! Such a young build. Excited to see what's next though!

No, you can do it!

That's what I was thinkin toooooo :)

I have a Sony A6600. I have the Sony 10-18 and a 90mm macro. I've also had good luck with the Tiffen 85B filter. It's pricey but it's good to have. Also use iPhone with a clip-on orange filter for some of the shots.

@@BahamaLlamaCoral Thanks looks great. I need a new video rig. Thinking about the Cinema Canon stuff similar to Tidal Gardens. I like Tiffen and have that same one.

It's a relatively young tank. If he hadn't moved and I went back to visit in a couple years I have no doubt that this thing would be jam packed with mature colonies. In my opinion, if you can swing the nice setup with all the equipment to start - do it. I'd much rather have the gear I need ready to go instead of purchasing bits and pieces along the way.

@@BahamaLlamaCoral I probably missed the part where he mentioned the age of the system, and it explains a lot. That being said, I would still start first with a more minimal, future expandable setup and invest more on the corals as early as possible to later have the demand to start expanding the system. But generally speaking, I think it’s an interesting topic to discuss, and I would love to hear more of your reasoning behind upfront investment, because as you already noticed my approach is different than yours. (Probably not the best platform to discuss the topic in comments, but I’ll try to explain some of my own points, not entirely related to this setup though) From my own 15 years of adventure and experience in the hobby I’ve seen how fast things change and evolve. We didn’t have roller mats or even socks, nor LED lights and many other shenanigans we consider today as regular, and when those came out they were either ridiculously bad or greatly improved on older solutions or versions. But one thing that triggered me the most is the highly expensive monitoring and automation equipment, because it spawned an entire generation of wasteful spending on many, many young and undemanding setups. Now don’t get me wrong, I understand the desire to monitor and automate a system, as well as the benefit in doing so, but I’m also very well aware of the conditions where equipment like this is actually beneficial, and where it’ll be the source of all problems (this isn’t the case here btw). A system that houses 10, 20 or even 30 hardy corals doesn’t need a big amount of sensors or excessive daily tests to succeed, and if it does, you certainly aren’t giving it enough attention and it’ll crash regardless of any equipment you own or not. In my opinion the equation to start considering an investment particularly on the monitoring side of things needs to be as simple as “does my live stock cost more?” If it isn’t, it’s too early. Because for example, by the time the setup above would be mature enough to be benefiting from 24/7 monitoring it’ll (a) be older - all new rings and bells may not be supported and (b) degraded - requiring additional investment to replace probes, and more. All while the money invested in reagents and replacement probes could’ve been funneled towards live stock. At the end of the day I think it’s all about a healthy balance between the live stock and the equipment to support it, the greater time and money investment on equipment, the longer it’ll take to tune in, purchase corals and have a beautiful, fully packed tank of healthy colonies. I have more, much more to write, but this gets ridiculously long, and I think you got my point 😅 Have a nice weekend Remy!

You did it!

What's your sweet spot for size?

Shoot him a note. I'm sure he'd be happy to chat with you about it!

Consistency. Write interesting outlines and video concepts that haven't been done OR that you can put an interesting spin on. Be you. Cross-promote your channel on many different platforms. Always treat people who sub or follow with respect..no matter how many you have.

Lol - sure but that's what it looks like to people on the viewing side.

In my eyes, you always need to have a little inspiration in your life. I am also very distant from a tank and setup this size but it's always fun to dream - good for the soul too. That said, I've done features on tanks of all sizes on this channel and will continue to in the future. Hang tight, I got you!

Wondering the same, does he have IG?
