My stylo is one of my favorite corals. I bought a skinny $20 stick that ballooned into a huge colony growing up to the surface of the water.
My stunner stings the hell out of anything 6" or less away from it. Almost killed an entire pocilopora, started to sting my red/orange monti cap so bad I had to rearrange the cap. I regret putting it where it is now. It kept getting knocked off the rocks by crabs and whatnot so I found this little crevice on a rock that sits dead center and high up in my tank. Fast forward a couple of months and it's 3x the size and encrusted all over the top of the rock. I'm pretty much planning on keeping it, trimming it when needed, and using it as a shelf to place frags on. A couple of strategically placed pieces of rubble and dome reef glue have saved the lives of the coral around it now so I figure I could continue that and just have a cool-looking shelf.
This is helpful for 'real world' reefers.
Thanx
I love how your chromis hide in the pink hystrix. It reminds me of how these fish behave in the wild with acropora colony’s, but you never see that behavior in the aquarium. Great video Evan, thanks for sharing!
You are the only reef channel with intro music that I don’t skip over. Thank you, sir, thank you! 🥲
Great looking tank! These corals are why I got into the hobby. 13 years later, I still love them!
You’re right, these are the sps corals that kept me excited about the hobby. Great looking reef!
THanks Evan! Refreshing to hear from an OG reefer who truly appreciates corals, not just the gucci corals. I have many of the same in my tanks. - Roli from down the street in Wheat Ridge
Love these corals. My tank is at least 70% old fashioned SPS.
Great Video.
I like this video because it is similar to the Tank Spotlight videos which are my favorite. It's been awhile since the last videos, I know it's hard with Covid. I love seeing people's personal tanks that they put all of themselves into. It's very interesting to see them walk through every coral, piece of equipment, and fish, and hear them explain all of their decisions and methods. I just started May 2020 so those videos are very inspiring.
Beauty Evan! tks to u/Jake for it the vid.
Great video! 😀👍
Great video and well spoken Evan 👍
ur intro music has always been awesome 👍👍👍
That intro though!! Da best. I had to play it again and was better than the first time lol.
Hey Evan - great to "see" you. (been too long with all the cancelled MACNAs) Tank looks fantastic! Enjoyed the update.
Thanks man! Can’t wait till we can catch up in person
Plating Montipora is always a majestic piece. I have pulled out beauties to pass on just to watch the stumps regrow and reshape the environment. Once it finds its groove, it just grows beautifully.
Nice full tank! Great collection of colors, types of growths etc.
Love this reeftank,you done an outstanding job taking care of these animals,keep up the good work
Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful reef and great information
Nothing like the classics 👍👍👍 beautiful tank
Your tank is Fire! Great job from the last update you did it's just gorgeous brother. You have s point these corals are more affordable and even more beautiful than some of the big dollar colonies that fade out . Great video ✌💜
I love those types of corals, my aquarium is dominated by them, much easier to grow from frags to big colonies and make your aquarium look great. I try multiple times the imported from Indonesia or Australia sps’s but without success, they drive for 6 months until year and they are gone. I stopped wasting money and time on them and now only such great old timers or aquaculture. Awesome aquarium!
love this tank from corals to fish selection!!
What a great looking setup!
Spectacular tank Evan.
This is one of the best reef scapes to me I've seen by far. Much better than most of the high end reefs showcased on this and other youtube reefer channels. Why, because it doesn't have dozens and dozens of different corals growing in a patchwork of relatively small sizes. Reefs don't look like that in nature. They look more like this! As a diver who has seen some of the greatest reefs in the world in person, this is they kind of layout I want to build when I start keeping tanks again. Even in the largest of tanks, I think they look best when dominated by no more than half a dozen different corals that are grown out large. I wish more people would follow this philosophy.
Very beautiful aquarium
Great video, always enjoy when you make vids on your tank
Looks great.
You need to make a longer video of just the tank no talking, very beautiful tank!
I always find it funny how your voice sounds like Jake's to me. Maybe it's a Colorado accent thing.😆
Great classic reef.👍🏾
They sound exactly the same lol
So true...so true 🤣
Classic corals are the best man Nice aquarium
Great classic corals
Great looking tank, lovely fish to. Loving the lava lamp as well :-)
Dammmmmmm this is amazing I just bought my first 150 gallon aquarium and am really exciting about it and I would love to buy another one with just coral and fish.
Great video!
What a fantastic looking tank 👌 love that! Really established corals
Great work !!
Great video. I keep a refugium with all xenia, nearly no nutrients👍🏻
Well done brother can’t beat a mature reef tank 🙏🏽
Love this tank!! Great job, man.
Amazing tank! Corals are beautiful!
Great vid, luv your prospective!
Nice I was just giving a red Monti and A red dragon large pieces and they look awesome.
Love those corals and their growth. Don't need mega dollars for amazing corals.
That starry blenny is stealing the show!! Ever consider merging the two montis?
They’re about to do it on their own if I don’t intervene
Really would love to get my hands on some Leng Sy over here in Europe ;)
Can’t beat the classics
Your reef is stunning..you're vision of a reef is like mine. I don't like the styles that look like frag tanks. Soon as I figure out how to put a pic on your comments I will share mine with you bro. Well done..loved your video
Beautiful 🤩
Great coral health 👍
Great video
Love the tank
Killer tank dude.
I love this tank and these corals!!! 👍
Clean!
parabéns pelo o aquário esta maravilhoso!!!
Beautiful tank. Surprised you don't have red dragon or hawkins or strawberry SC, Another classic is my favorite Ora pearlberry Blue Tort, lots of classic SPS. Hardy and chsap. Thanks for sharing your ocean box.
I have some of those in the frag tank. Nice chunk of red dragon…just not “display worthy” yet.
Purple stylos are under rated. I know we all have a soft spot for caps, but orange caps have filled up my local reef stores and they cant give them away. Idaho grapes though are uncommon. Just my opinion, but maybe pull one of the front caps and start a couple different common milliporas.
Beautiful aquarium
Beuatiful tank.Van k ask what light you use and whats your daylight color setting?
Thank youu
Gen 4 radions don’t remember specifically what color setting but I just went with something that looked good to my eye
Awesome video and tank I have a 94 gallon aquarium that's 5 months old and one day I will start adding corals but right now I'm waiting for my tank to grow up lol so far since August 23 when I did a water changes my parameters are ph 8.0, ammonia is always at 0PPM, n02 0ppm, n03 0ppm, MG 1290, CA 380, kh 10.5, phosphates 0.00ppm. And I 7 fish in the tank so I don't know if my tank parameters are low because I started fishless cycle with dry rocks
Evan awesome tank. you and Jake have been very busy doing videos lately. thanks. are you guys going to reefapolloza Chicago this yr?
Pretty nice tank!❤️👍
Would love to see something like this with a Euphyllia tank
What a spectacular Reef tank! please, if you can write down the names of the corals, as some I couldn't understand in the video, thank you very much!
That’s a question that I have for years , why and where this High End corals came from ? That’s a beautiful tank with no HE whatsoever, in mho I don’t think is necessary to spend money in corals that are very easy to die or so call high end, great tank bud
Hi end simply means high price. Money grab. All comes from the same place, the ocean.
nice i plan to have all of those in my setup first time keeping corals. i don't want the gps and star coral tho.
what is that acro infront of the stylo tho :D
Great looking tank Evan. It's been a while man. How have things been since RAP Orlando?
Outstanding presentation & commentary. Thank you very much! 🎉😊
I find it mind blowing that you sound like Jake 😂
Peep the regal angel in the same tank as a clam! That's crazy!
Maybe got lucky with him…keep him full with flake food and mysis
@@EvanMontgomery yea most regals I’ve dealt with were really picky and would only eat clams on a half shell. Beautiful fish!
On a 1200lt tank and a 900lt how many animals i could host along with corals?? I love all animals ive seen till now... snails...all fishes... shrimps...seahorses...stings...crabs...
very nice tank, knowing you can create a tank like that without the need for the high end wizzy named corals in the shop is encourageing.
just didnt catch thename of the nice looking coral at time stamp 8.00,
Spring stunner “Echinopora”. AKA Hollywood stunner. Most people refer to it as a chalice but we’re trying to get away from that nomenclature
When you say hype corals, do you mean like artificially produced color variants or just exotic species?
what percent do you run the radions on Evan? :D
Anemona and coral is different?? I saw one like these i like that moves...and it changed place by itself!!! It looked like a tall mushroom moving... I liked that... Also on a tank like this isnt it necessarry that you have also plants inside?
I am looking on the web but cant find something... is there a tank that could be rectangle but long like a column?? I would love that to own with medusa inside only.
Nice Music, were can i get it?
Keeping the classics will help anyone have an awesome reef and avoid a lot of heartache and unnecessary expense.... setting up a tank with only fancy acro micro frags and wild LPS imports like euphillia... ui ui ui... might loose a few here and there and unfairly feel like a bad reefer or quit
Your tank is amazing. Love your long fin clowns do they bite you? My male bit me yesterday 🤬
Only when there’s food in my fingers ;)
My favorite corals are the ones that become classics of a particular area. For example, in my area there's not much of a coral scene but there's a particular RBTA clone that-and this is not an exaggeration-splits about once a week. You literally cannot get people to take them off your hands, because they've got 20 already! While I'm here, shameless plug for r/AffordableReefTank, a respite from the hype-dominated social media world and a place to discuss old school reefing methods that are accessible to anyone.
How can you construct this?? You take a rock and then you use glue and put the corals on it??
😍
please can you show me the stone buildings at he beginning without corals
How many liters of this aquarium?
What size tank?
What are your par levels on the bottom of the tank?
Been a long while since I’ve measured. Might do a video next time I do that
Where did you get the stunner?
Local guy that lives nearby
what variety is it ocellaris?
Sea & Reef Aquaculture longfins
Beautiful tank tho
Any nipping issues with the Regal Angel
The only thing I see him pick at is my one patch of zoas. However only when I’ve been slacking on feeding. When he’s well fed he’s a model citizen
Nice intro. Made me start to melt.
Come on Jake. Not all budgets. This is an expensive hobby.
The best corals are classics just like old cars
MY DREAM AND GOLD IS TO GROW MONTIPORA ON MY NANO AND MY 75 GAL I ON STARTING TO WORK ON NOW ,A TANK IS NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT MONTIPORA
If you ever want to get rid of a frag of that Lyng Sy cap I've been trying to get my hands on a true one, lots of fakes out there.
Only critique, friends don't let friends put xenia in their tank, regardless of wanting movement or how much of a beginner they are 🤣🤣
LOL This is true.
Intro music, anybody?
Ya'll should overlay the scientific names of the corals
