Jimmy Pop Colson lives in Las Vegas, NV and has been caring for this exquisite reef for six years. Something he didn't mention on camera was that he has had maintenance companies help him in the past, but they caused more damage than good so he takes care of it himself. Every Friday, he takes the day off from work to focus on his reef, making sure everything is running correctly, changes 100g of saltwater, and has the local fish store test his water for him. Lighting and flow is critical for his success, which he discusses. His filtration may surprise you; it surprised me because larger systems usually have some serious gear keeping things running smoothly. His wife is equally passionate about all things aquatic, and their daughter as well. I enjoyed an evening with them as a guest in their home, and tried to capture the best parts of his reef to share with you. Jimmy's reef has only recently begun to be noticed because of his frequent livestreams on facebook. In person it was stunning, and you know I filmed it from above as well, so be sure to watch it all the way to the end.
