I lived in Tampa for a few years and they have some decent local shops. However after recently moving closer to the Orlando area I took a drive over to WWC and can honestly say they are as awesome as advertised. I have not purchased any corals online I prefer to actually see what I am getting with my own two eyes but after visiting WWC in person I would not hesitate at all from buying something from them online. If you are making a trip to Orlando you should definitely check them out and hey Reef-a-Poolza is next month so.

Been watching all these videos to make sure that I understand what I am really getting into before I start the hobby, I love the ocean and want a little piece of it in my house. I had a few questions though; how do you isolate the corrals, polyps, zoas, etc.? How do you know which ones need to be isolated? Also how do you frag them? Do you all have a more in depth video about corals and anything else I have asked?

Best in the series so far. I've found understanding the livestock options the hardest part of the hobby. The range is so large and the books seem disconnected to the current state of the hobby. I suspect because it changes so quickly. Trouble is that on any days the LFS or even online stores has such a small subset of what is currently the stock rotating through the industry. You ask about other options and get given a heap of names that don't mean anything to you (or are confusing - so what type of montipora is that "Superman"?). So you don't know if you should buy that coral in front of you or wait and see what else might show up in the next 6 months... It's great to get a such a good overview which goes into some detail too. This vid saved many hours of hanging out in the LFS interrogating busy staff. Can I suggest a BRS cheat sheet on each of the coral types. Especially listing the commonly available named clones currently trendy would be fantastic. Now if you blokes would just ship to Oz. And talking of Oz I'd like to plug our local Cairns Marine. Maybe your LFS in the US might like some sustainably caught Australian corals. Thanks again for the vid.

I've been in this hobby for a year now and recently discovered this channel. More than anything, I appreciate the efficiency of these videos. Plain language, well written, information dense. I binge watch BRSTV like it's Netflix. Maybe I'll get myself a tub of chocolate ice cream. In fact no. It’s not like I haven’t spent the past days, weeks, months planning a new rig. I have I have and it’s all coming to a head right now. This is Atlanta. People here feel so marginalized they amass on the freeway and I can’t bring myself to care about any of it. A rimless low-iron aquarium sits on my table, you see. Still in the stretch-wrap. Packing peanuts on the carpet. So I say no. Not chocolate. Rather something with peanut butter cups mixed in. I have a diamond hole saw and I am not afraid to use it. Thank you, for that BRS.

I understand not making a big deal of this for fear of scaring off new reefers. But due to the risk I'm always surprised when no one mentions that zoanthids and palys can contain one of the deadliest toxins in nature. It is impossible to know which do and don't without being a marine biologist with a speciality in those corals. Not trying to knock BRS at all. Just surprised it wasn't mentioned. I love BRS and I'm glad I have the luck that I live only a mile away. (*cough* Hire me as an IT guy *cough*) The main reason I point it out is simply due to trying to keep others safe. Just in the local club here in the twin cities. One of the members almost went blind in one eye last year because he forgot to wash his hands after moving some zoas around and rubbed his eye. It can be scary stuff, these animals evolved to protect themselves. Wear gloves and wash your hands. Now to stop being the harbinger of doom. Another great video. I have a few more to catch up on after being on vacation.

The reason pulsing xenias pulse is because they are normally found in low flow environments in the wild, so they pulse to create more flow around them. Therefore they may stop pulsing because they have enough flow.

Regarding online vendors, I’ve been surprised at how expensive fish and coral seem to be online compared to local stores. I’d expect local stores to cost more given both the supplier and the store need to profit, plus I’d pay a premium to see it in store and get to ask questions. Any thoughts on why this is? And I’m even talking about before shipping.

What Kind of filtration should I use if I'm on a budget and I want too start up a 30 Gallon reef tank with soft corals and maybe live rock? I also have a 30" fluorescent light and I was wondering if that would be bright enough to sustain them? If you can help me out I'd really appreciate it. It's my first saltwater tank

How do Xenia’s spread? Do they creep out (like Zerg creep) or do they release water borne spore/eggs.

Dear Ryan, days ago I came across a Craigslist post about a guy who was selling high end coral frags at affordable prices in his apartment. He doesn't has an aquaria store. Yesterday I went to visit him and I bought a few nice frags including one called "Armor of God" (Palythoa). The guy just fragged the corals at that moment but he didn't mount them on plugs, so they were swimming lose in the container (I guess that's why they were cheaper). Today I'm reading that Palythoa coral is poisonous. He fragged his Palythoa colony with a razor blade, no glasses and no gloves for protection. If that guy is an experienced reefer (he got 5 mature reef aquariums) I'm wondering why he didn't take any precaution... If Palythoa coral is severely toxic why nothing happened to us?? Arriving home I mounted all the frag on plugs with glue. I was handling the frags bare hand. Now I'm seriously concerned after reading this. What do you think about it?? Thank you.

+BulkReefSupplyCom I completely understand, I am just one person too and recording and editing videos is quite a lot of work. One tip that might have worked for you and maybe for other videos is to first do all of the corals from one company and then from another etc so that you don't mix them. It looked kind of better in my opinion to mix the order up (as to not give any preference to any company) but it is definitely more work. Keep it up guys, I always learn something new from you.
