do more with Than. You Than Thein and Jake Adams were my inspiration going into the hobby and going through all the ups and downs. your office tank tour gave me idea for how to maintain my tank on my schedule and now I'm somehow doing better with sps than softies and lps. like for obvious reasons because I don't dose nutrients even though i need to 😅 but I'm happy with how things are so don't want to change anything (for now) you have all responded to questions directly on IDs and problems and even ideas going in to my first build.

His facility is nothing short of exquisite. The fact he took the rest of us along through the build process, was simply a treat. And I dare say, his build inspired many. I would not have an aluminum stand for example, had I not watched this building come to fruition

I have purchased from Tidal Gardens, and they experience was one of the best I've ever had. Every coral was amazing, the price was competitive, and even in Michigan, everything arrived alive and well! Wish I could visit the facility. Would gladly pay for that experience.

I look for ways to give that gift back every day. The type of support that goes beyond "the idea" and rests solely on what you believe that person is capable of when they apply themselves is life-changing.

Could you do a video on cable management? How you organize cables in a manner that will allow for easy removal? Being on my first tank this is not something I find a lot about and is a huge hassle when it comes time to clean out or replace equipment in the sump.

I do like having order with my power-plugs, like keeping my heaters next to eachother, pumps etc. But I think that it's a good point of redundancy if you are spreading your heaters and pumps, between power-boards because if one fails, atleast your system is still being heated and some pumps are still keeping the water turned over.
