Recently WWC reached out to me for some help in getting together with Julian to help them shoot some videos and to help them pick out one special mangrove for one of their project.
Meeting with good friends and having good time in the process? Naturally I agreed.
While there, I was able to sneak in some shots while we were filming.
A lot of the aquariums inside the house doesn't have any descriptions because WWC was shooting in the background and you can see all the dimensions and etc when they release their video.
Hope you enjoy the little behind the scenes video!

Every few months I always look up Julian on KZfaq to see if any of his projects have updates. I always love to see his systems and pick up some knowledge along the way. He’s a Very smart man and it’s always nice to get a glimpse into his world. 🤙👌

I find it amazing that this man is one of the most knowledgeable in the hobby, yet so many times he just seems to wing it and it somehow works. Maybe he just has a "blue" thumb or something. Always enjoy seeing what he's playing around with.

@Reefscom 2 жыл бұрын

I can see why some may think this way. I think because he makes it look so easy and his nonchalant behaviors at times makes us believe it otherwise but he's definitely not winging it lol. I can assure you from looking in from a close distance that most of the time, it's based on data and from experiences that he has had from well over 4 decades of reef keeping. Basically many of the moves are well calculated. When you engage him in conversations at shows or any of the events that he's in, you can see how passionate and well versed he is in the hobby. I always find it interesting in what he's playing around with as well and I often try to imitate it like many others 😆

Wow 🤩 Amazing video, legendary reefer, gorgeous tanks. The tank is lit by LED. That’s quite new Julian, right? I just saw a video of your tank and I believe you were using Metal Halides even then. When did you change and how do you like it! You tank looks absolutely stunning under LED. They are Radions, are they? Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.

@Reefscom 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! Yea, they are radions. I have gotten those for him about 3 years ago. He's been growing corals out of the water with them! :)

Impressive. I think I'd fail miserably trying to maintain an open outdoor saltwater system.

I think I would as well. Living in Florida, I wouldn't be able to sleep well thinking of all the rain that we get.

Did you by any change ask Julian if he had any issues or concerned of future issues with mangrove roots penetrating pond liner?

@Reefscom 9 ай бұрын

I can ask for you next time I see him.

@oliviergillet3203 Жыл бұрын

Hello, magnificent tank, would it be possible to have the name of the blue acropora which is surrounded by pink seriatopora histrix (7 minutes and 28 seconds from the start of the report)?

Hi! That seems to be first gen Hawkins Echinata from ORA.

Very well Richard , say hi to Tommy and Julian for me. As usual very good video but I think some of those corals can be trimmed a little bit 🤔🤔🤔🤣😅😅😂

For sure. I will be there to get them. I already called dibs 😆

Hey I just purchased some red mangrove propagules and was wondering if I have to plant them in the sand bed or if they will survive being planted into live rock rubble. At the end of the video it seems that he just had those in an empty tank was that the case?

@Reefscom 2 жыл бұрын

They can plant them in sand, rubbles or float them. Once they mature, you have to be extra cautious of their roots but if given proper care, they will thrive.
