this man created a reef thriving better than in nature

Beautiful Tank Ernie I can still remember Thursday nights when we would watch you unpack the shipment and claim I'm buying that ;D

Hello from the USA. That is an ABSOLUTELY MIND-BLOWING SYSTEM! Thank you for all your efforts.

awsom tank corals and fish thanks Ernie for allowing Sam to document your tank for our viewing pleasure 😍🤩👌👍👊👏

Wow thanks for sharing this masterpiece Ernie and Sam! Ernie’s store inspired me to get into the hobby back when I was a teenager years ago. It’s incredible to see what he’s achieved in his home years later

What a stunning tank & collection of fish. Love that he’s old school and such success can be achieved without all the scary hi tech gear! Thank you Sam for this video and Ernie for his time & sharing his wisdom!

Definitely appreciate you shooting in 4K60, thanks!

best reef keeping advice i've heard so far. if you see a problem, address it.

What a show stopper of a tank. Beautiful corals and fish. Ernie shows you can maintain a reef with limited technology. He’s definitely in tune with his system. Thanks for the tour Sam.

Amazing grown out, healthy tank. Something to aspire to. Ernie is a legend.

Thanks buddy for the effort

Bloody hell, long time no see. I wasn't even sure if Ernie was still in the hobby. Great to see.

Thats one of the nicest setups iv seen very nice

sensational tank based on lots of experience , blood , sweat and tears! Well done.

I had to watch this a few times and I still do not have the proper words. Just ridiculous. Great video. Great simple reef.

Amazing tank ,well done.Greatings from Belgium

beautiful tank

So many nice fish! ..my fav Marine fish is the Power Blue ^_^

What a tank! Love all the corals especially the holy grail banana torch.

I love his simplistic approach and he has the vast knowledge and experience to fing it...I all so feel that getting a mega reef nerd to set up and maintain a very automated tank is allso a pricy version of at least keeping it simple and worry free for the owner and knowing the robot is testing parameters a few times per day and doing all the thinking doseing topping off while supervised by a pro can make your tank super enjoyable as well.🐟🐙🐠🐡🦈multiple ways to make life simple.

Ernie you most definitely are the man...excellent just excellent work.

Great tank, great reefer, great video 👍🐠

Wow amazing simplicity for the size of that tank beautiful thriving fish and coral,great video if not the best I have watch so far,it makes newbies have hope that you don't need thousands to achieve a thriving reef tank 👍✌

Beautiful tank

I’m glad he me mentioned giesemann verve, I use to run them beautiful colors and produce the same growth to sps like radion

Seems like they were overlooked in this video, but I'm a huge fan of the Starcki damsels. Very underrated species.

Beautiful!

Amazing tank!

Killer system dude. Hats off :)

Chap has a beautiful tank. Like the approach. 🤓👍

loved the interview, what a tank what an owner, the only thing we are all missing is the stats,

Wooooowwwww! Great job documenting this system. What a great guy too. I thought holy grails came from Indo? I’ve never seen one in Oz

Beautiful tank! I think his various advices and carefree/loose attitude might a bit deceiving for many. I do NOT mean this in a negative way. Many aged reefers can oversimplify things. This syle can certainly work for him and his very seasoned tank but not for others. What he’s really got that many many other do not is the most powerful tool of all, experience. Experience and the eye of a veteran are invaluable. an incredible amount of experience!! It’s almost the magic bullet we’re all after! Also, is this tank on natural sea water? Are most Australian tank on NSW? That must be convenient!!

This was a treat! Wow! 👀 Absolute beuuuuuty!

Late catching up with youtube !! Sweet content as usual sam !!

Beautiful system awesome fish bar has been set very high

Absolutely stunning. The Tunze man like me .

The Yeti is a dream coral for me - abroholensis and the green one is a granulosa I would say Love to see the fishes swim together and love that forked tail wrasse and the anampses

Amazing tank!!!

holy moly.....amazing, that's a dream. little too much big fish for my taste, but i guess those coral masses are hard to feed otherwise

Incredible valley up top^^

You should try and catch up with “Blue Reef Tank” if possible, he’s in vic/melb somewhere I loved his old nano tanks, I think he’s just moved houses and is setting up a bigger reef tank currently! 🥰 his nano tanks are very close to my ideal/dream tanks 🐶

Aside from the fact youve got a true jewel of a reef tank, I've got to say as much on your sump setup. Ecerytime I see a tank half that size if that, the sump looks like something a little better than the Indian power grid. I never fully understood why aside from ad hoc planning, upgrades, etc. Yours is incredibly stream lined. It's clean, organized and pretty simple to follow in the event of whatever. When the time comes when I can indulge in that hobby again, what you've got is ideally what id want for a sump or something comparable. 👍

all I can say is wow truly amazing tank some stunning fish and coral just look amazing hope when I up grade its half as nice as that set up

Stunning tank.

That’s one unbelievable reef tank. Not that we do the hobby for money but I bet that’s a 300000.00 dollar tank here in the US. Wow I’m floored. Awesome 👏🏻 thanks for showing it Parker.

Stunning!

Insane tank.

Excellent Tank, bro. (y)

very nice greetings from portugal

Epic tank !!!

I think that small, green, smooth skin sps you liked is some type of branching turbinaria.

Lovely tank lovely guy.

Nice tank

Amazing 🤩

Absolutley beautiful 😍

Beautiful love it 🎊🎉👍

Can’t wait

Stunning m8 👍😁

Thanks Sam. Great video. Any idea what type of lanthanum chloride he uses?

Magnificent.

Very nice :)

Incredible. What I found amazing (beyond the beauty) was the complete lack of aggression in the fish.

Did I miss, how often and how large of water changes does he do? Amazing and so beautiful!

NICE.. 👍👍

This is absolutely Masterpiece. I'm Jealous i wish this is my aquarium
