Today we visit an absolutely stunning SPS tank by Joe (Tusi) in New York. It has won Tank of the Month on Reef2Reef twice (never happens before), as well as winning the Best Reef Tank for Reef Choice Awards 2022. Joe shared with us his experience on how to keep a successful reef tank, as well as some of the nuances in reef keeping. This video is a bit on the long side but info packed, I hope you enjoy our visit to Joe's!

I gotta agree with this guy. Wrasse are maybe my favorite type of fish. Can't beat the colors and they are usually peaceful fish as well as open water swimmers.

Holy Guacamole! Joe is a humble, yet wise man! Where is the nuisance algae? Where is the aiptasia? Life is not fair 🥴🤥 Mok-Yi, thanks for sharing Joe’s tank visit. Your are living a blessed life, cute Wifey and adorable kids 👶👶. I trying to figure out if you’re a Brain surgeon or Lawyer? The New York hotels, the food spread in your videos is tops, Tesla, etc…. There are a lot of millionaires in Hong Kong and China that want to get their riches out? Gold bars, I’m thinking steady flow of Gold bars mailed to the Mok-Yi residence 🤔🥳🤓😂🏌️

Metal halide rules! Healthy tank full of strong colors, natural growth speed, and amazing colony formation! Light quality with real full spectrum and proper intensity is the number 1 for that difference! Very healthy tank! Very important to keep thee bottom corals well lit with the 400W over a tank so tall. Interesting that he changes from 400W to 250W bulbs here and there. Hard to find someone that runs halides like that. Do you happen to know what ballasts and bulbs (brand and kelvins) that he is using? If not, could you please ask him? Thanks for sharing!

i’m not sure if he really does this low maintenance, that paxbellum explodes with algae fast. i love the look of the tank. and his coral collection. the tank is about 15 years old as well? he’s not concerned witg a possible replacement in the future?

He should look into kalkwasser slurry dosing. The milky slurry at the bottom when you mix kalk. Its more potent and you can dose it like anything else. More effective than kalkwasser in the ato.

When the tank is redone every two years how are the corals moved? In other words are they glued to a main rock structure and broken off to move them and re-glued or is each coral on its own rock and the rock with the coral attached just picked up and moved?

On Convict tangs; Buy just one. Put it in a smallish tank by itself or with fish that will absolutely not bother it. Get it on nori and pellets. Feed it until it is fat and don't expose it to any other tangs or aggressive fish until it is about three inches long. It will be bulletproof from there. The biggest problem with them is just getting them to settle down. They do very poorly with any type of aggression. They do very poorly with other tangs until they settle in. If people would let them settle down and fatten up before they put them in with other tangs they would not have such a bad reputation.
