    Been in reefing since Sanjay began in the magazines and the birth of TH-cam. He's ALWAYS had these type of tanks. Just a master at Acro and a real treasure for the reefing community.

    So refreshing to see a reef tank that isn't all blue lights and florescent corals.
    Totally agree with his choice.

      I caught this too. I watched this video about 4 years ago. And I’m rewatching it now. So crazy what life has in store for us. I hope Sanjay still has this coral.

    That’s a million $ Tank... Fragging and selling hard corals from the Tank is a living money tree. Naturally, it’s not his interest but what a wonderful financial tool. Endless $$$ My lord if he fragged out those and cleared up room he could have $10k and not dent the visual quality. Not only investments he would be sharing what’s created with many many people. What a great hobby!

    23:46 I would actually love a video on each coral. Only 5 minutes a piece or so telling the different stories of it because sure the colonies are incredible, no doubt about it, but I find the stories SOOO great!

    That is the most natural looking reef tank I've seen on TH-cam. No wonder everyone in this hobby reveres Sanjay!

  • @PromethiusXon
    @PromethiusXon 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sanjay is easily my favorite reefer that I've seen profiled on TH-cam. This tank is amazing. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to get to and frag such enormous colonies in such a large tank.

    Excellent video Jake. Well worth the wait. Sanjay is a really cool dude. I actually got to talk to him briefly at macna while walking in the parade in the heat. I like his philosophy on reefing. He really doesn't do much and doesn't have crazy equipment everything is just big for obvious reasons. That skimmer is nuts. This tank is real motivation. Keep up the great work.

    hey brother, sad to miss my chance to meet you at macna in nola. i recently rescued some classic frags from ricks reef before he shut down (local legend). i breed true percs on my channel and run a quaint marine fishroom, but i dont get much attention because my channel is about saving the world in general, not just reef restoratiion.
    i really love what you guys do and i wanted to thank you in person for helping people appreciate one of the most underestimatedly vital parts of our ecosystem.

    Watched until the end. Fabulous reef with a reefkeeping philosophy that I follow. Let your system go wild after the first year. Ditch the mechanical filtration and allow planktonic sources to develop. He even has clownfish developing pelagic plankton.

First of all I'd like to tell that I've been waiting for this video since you announced that you'll share it and I was expecting a lot and it is above my expectation ., secondly I love to say big thanks to you man for this huge effort to share all valuable info and keep us up dated of all what's happening in the hobby especially in our side "Saudi Arabia" we have no sources except you guys "TH-camrs"
    Thanks again and keep up the good work ❤️

Please thank Sanjay for his relaxed attitude to Cyanobacteria in small quantities as I have been stressing about the small outbreak I have and was about to go the hydrogen peroxide dosing route and will now just keep a eye on it and look for why it's there.

    Gorgeous. I would love to know what percentage he uses for his light schedule. I love it! I dont like alot of blue either and he is able to get so much color pop without using to much. I know he said when he comes home he dims his blues to 60 percent. i wonder what his white is. Do you know? I don think he mentioned it.
