- In this video we head to Long Island, New York, to visit Andrew Sandler's INCREDIBLE 17,000 gallon home saltwater aquarium known as @PoloReef. Andrew's saltwater tank is packed full of many rare species of fish and corals, including corals from the late Jake Adams of Reef Builders - Rest in Peace Jake.
If you think the tank is incredible, wait until you see what's out the back...

This man is on a different level. This is no hobbyist. He's a scientist and professional. Sea World's got nothing on him!!!
Agreed!!!! 🤣
❤
@@Kaityscichlids❤
..and his team, don't forget his team. There's a pretty sizey squad involved
This guy is not on another level, he's in another Galaxy, he is what I wish to be when it comes to taking care of fish and seeing them happy..
Wow !!! It's crazy to see what a very wealthy aquarium "addict" can make happen with their personal collection. Sandler's home puts many community aquariums to shame. I love the aquarium life style, but looking at Sandler's insane tanks and ponds makes me wonder if I would go that far if I could afford it. Sandler doesn't half ass nothing, I imagine that trait is part of his success in life. Thanks for sharing Kaity !!!
Agreed Tommy!! There's no half assing here AT ALL 🤣🤣 Definitely a trait of success. It was absolutely brilliant 👌 I think I can safely say if I had the money I would do something like this but the freshwater version lol
@@Kaityscichlids a different rift lake in every room in Kaity's mansion, on the cliffs above the barrier reef. 🤙
This crosses over from being a hobby to an obsession! Credit to the owner as he knows his whole system. He obviously wants the best of the best!
Most definitely!! I have so much respect for people who are so ambitious and can direct their obsessions into projects like this. It's fantastic to see
I've watched hundreds of TH-cam content of ppl's home aquariums.....this has to be the most eye opening system out there...just the RO system alone is off the charts....
Exactly that's what I was thinking myself. 💯🐬🐬🐬🐬👍
I know right! I was just blown away. It was absolutely spectacular, I didn't even know some of these things existed
I've seen a few videos of this tank. You'd think by now Andrew would be fed up showing people around, but his enthusiasm really shone through here. Would love to see it in person. Great video Kaity. He's living our dream 😂
❤
Thank you so much 😊🙏 Yes he's so enthusiastic and passionate about it, and so generous to be showing so many people around!
Oh, to have the freedom to pursue my hobbies like this man does! What an amazing home, and aquariums!
Out of all the tours I’ve seen of this tank, you have done the greatest! Nice job!
Thank you so much 🙏🙌🙌
Wow! Beautiful tanks! It nice to have staff to help out.
I love the Bearded Collie, so well groomed.
I think that is the only way to do it, have staff!
Great video and interview! Keep up the good work. "A STAR IS BORN!!!"
Thank you so much!! 🙏🙏🙏
I highly support this man's obsession and thank him for being willing to share it with us. Since many of us can only dream of having such a tank, this is the next best thing - an up close and personal virtual tour. Baby Giant Clams!!! Some people own a dozen yachts, complete with helicopters and mini-yachts. Some people spend tens of millions on a painting. This gentleman has his own private coral reef and what a passion! You could not keep that density of fish without star-trek-level engineering, filtration, medication, purification, and redundancy like he said. He's a walking aquarium encyclopedia. Very fun thanks!😊 🐠
Andrew is the man! Great guy with some awesome setups!
He is so cool!!! Thank you Danny 😊🙏
Great video tour and fish experience The gentleman is very humble and genuinely kind.
He certainly is 😊 Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😄
I’ve seen Andrew Sandler so many times. He’s always a pleasure to listen to
Speechless...nuff said great video😊
It's incredible isn't it!! Thank you 🙏
Best tour of this tank I have seen, a great video.
Kaity, that was a very interesting tour of Polo Reef. As it was very open and I have been able to send onto friends who I think will like to see the beauty of the hobby and what it takes to have a great tank, wether small or super large.
All I can say is WOW. Thank you so much for bringing that experience to us Kaity.
It's incredible isn't it!! I'm so glad you enjoyed seeing it 😊
Wow that whole property is mind blowing !
Crazy cool video, I just wanted to say ozone is not radioactive, it's a free radical making it very reactive and oxidises anything it can to remove the radical. It is not radioactive because it doesn't have a half-life and doesn't decay into other elements. Keep up the great work love your videos.
Interesting!! Thank you so much 😊🙏❤️
kaity you are amazing... every one of your videos makes me proud of you. just be careful on these trips. please prioritize your safety. blessings as always.
Awww, thank you so much 😊 I really appreciate it 🙏
Oooh my absolutely loved This is so awesome to see all this. I had no idea someone was so passionate about this type of hobby. This is just breathtaking. I would love to live at that house. I probably never leave that big aquarium never thank you so much.
Simply amazing! There's incredible engineering effort behind that huge and amazing tank. Sana all. 🎉🥇🐟🐠
What an amazing video! I have seen this tank and set up in person many many times and I cant believe how just by watching this video there are still things I have not seen. Its a state of the art set up! Andrew is one of a kind. A true class act humble gentlemen. Keep up the amazing work Andrew, and his team!
Thank you David!! He most definitely is, it was such a fantastic experience getting to meet Andrew, he is such a lovely man. And that's so awesome you got to see things you hadn't seen in person in the video too! 🤣
Amazing!! thanks for sharing Kaity and welcome home!!
Thank you so much 😊🙏
Wow, and I thought the deep sea aquarium at the Dubai Mall was it, until this private noncommercial hobby space, definitely next-level hi-tech stuff. Thank you, Kaity for sharing this experience.
Thank you for watching it!! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
So, I have watched several youtubers vlogging on Polo reef tanks and some of his set up but I have to say good job laity on these new never seen equipments and set up and more thorough coverage of his equipments and his mansion . I thought I was a salt water reef addict , this guy took it to another level .
Thank you so much!! 🙏 I really appreciate it and I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊 Hahaha yes, Andrew is next level!!
This 'beyond awesome' - to you and the team - to Andrew @poloreef - such a passion to have live a life we all inspired to live - "a living art indeed" - all kids will be inspired to have such a dream tank like him. Hands down for inspiring us - the engineering behind all of that aquariums - not just the money to buy it.
Seen this guys incredible home aquarium when George Mavrakis visited when his channel was named ‘coral fish 12G’ and besides his main tank, seen some others, some off the behind scenes on equipment controlling his tanks, but nothing like the in-depth tour on your video kaity, this guys taking fishkeeping to an unbelievable level.
His mansion expansion with the surrounding land that encompasses his incredible dedication to the hobby is testiment to his overall success and wealth in life.
Thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊🙏
Kaity....haven't been on your channel for a bit and little late to see this, but OMG this is incredible!
Thank you so much for bringing this to us to enjoy......I'm kind of a tech-geek and this is amazing for me to watch.
Your channel has sure blossomed into something magnificent in a short period of time.........Kudos to you for your commitment to bringing awesome content to enjoy!
Thank you so much 🙏 I've definitely gotten very lucky with the experiences I've been able to have and film! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and seeing all the cool tech stuff. It's always a pleasure to have you on here 😄
Amazing video Kaity, Have seen quite a few video's about Polo's reef but you really nailed it showcasing all the details but still keeping the video entertaining all the way through.
Would love to see you do more collabs like these.
Keep em coming!
Thank you so much!! That means a lot to me 😊 I really appreciate it 🙏
thats long island for ya! great video kaity, hope you had a wonderful visit in the states !!!!! 🥀❤️🥀❤️
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
correct lighting, Big skimmer, correct dosing, algae scrubber fuge, and there is no need for water changes. I seen this on one of Parkers Reefs videos just recently, the Co owner of Reeftopia Michael i believe, he has an amazing coral tank in his garage and he also said he does not do water change. Great vlog Kaity you have the gift of the gab, you make a great aquarium journalist, you will definitely get to 100k subscribers in no time, I have no doubts.
Thank you so much 🙏🙏 I appreciate it so much! 😊
polo reef is crazy fam they have a crazy aquarium and allot of good sample aquariums to groq corals
A great tour! I've seen this system before, but the behind the scenes are just bonkers.
Awesome video Kaity ! That is my dream tank! Maybe someday when I become a billionaire 😂. I was raised on Long Island cool place. Nice trip you took. Glad you shared it with us.
Such a great video! So cool 😎that you got to visit an amazing tank that you were a fan of years ago 🐟🐠‼️
When the sky is the limits…. BRAVO to Andrew🎉

This is crazy. What an awesome setup
You can defiantly tell he likes the hobby ✌🏻 love the tours
Oh he most definitely does!! 🤣 Thank you heaps 😊
when those corals grow out another 2 years. this tank is going to be insane
I went to college for Marine Engineering and that computer he is showing off @8:08 is something you would see on a ship >.> That application is called IMAC on the ship but his version is much better
This is the greatest tour video ive ever seen. 🐠. You nailed it. Home run✅. 💯

This is absolutely next level fish keeping.

When you need a whole other house for your hobby 😆 beautiful tanks. Thank you for traveling to share this!
Hahaha, I can only dream!
Kaity your tanks are so beautiful! 💖
Keep up the good work, really enjoyed this video, I’ll be sure to scroll through your other stuff, all the best from 🇬🇧
Thank you so much 😊🙏
Holy crikey! I dont remember seeing this big tank in other vids so credit to you for bringing something new to my view. You get cooler & cooler every video Kaity. Dilly dilly. ;)
Thank you!! 😁😁 And I'm surprised you haven't seen it before! I'm glad I was able to show you something new 😄
@@Kaityscichlids my memory is pretty ordinary but a tank like that 1 would remember. What an awesome experience. I want a tank I could scuba in, that is so coolio.
Such a nice guy. Great job on also focusing on the other tanks and ponds besides the main showcase tank. I couldn't even afford just the electricity and water bills, let alone the food, coral, fish, equipment, etc!
This bloke is next level, amazing tour i really enjoyed it.
Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
love his tank. as a SW guy I drool over it!
Wow, Wonderful tank. He definitely takes the hobby to another level, a mix of art and intelligence. Thanks for showing us this piece of art👌🎨. Greetings from Lima, Peru.
He most definitely does!! I'm really glad you enjoyed it 😊 And greetings from Australia 🇦🇺🤗
Amazing Kaity, look like you really enjoyed it.
Thank you!! Yes I absolutely loved it, it was awesome!
That is insane!
Holly crap the ponds, perfection
One of the best videos yet. Great job.
Thank you 😊🙌
Wow! An enthusiast with too much money makes a great combo. ^^
Don't worry Kaity, when I make my next trip to Caboolture to visit family, I'll be coming to your place to do a tank tour so make sure the tanks have been scrubbed clean haha!...Seriously though, it was great you got to see all that 1st hand and had nice people to help you document it all
🤣🤣🤣 Thank you so much!! 😊🙏
Not only that, guys, but look at his grounds, the plants, trees... his arborists are right up there with his on-bored scientist botanist - aquariumshist. They are ride or die
Wow !! another amazing video Kaity ...the tour was was outstanding ... 😍🤩
Thank you SO much 😊 I really appreciate it!! 😁
You can see how Kaity's mind is blown its awesome.
Automation direct hmi and plc… pretty badass!!
To be honest I found the house, landscaping and ponds to be the highlight of the vid. The massive reef tank was epic but i'm not a fan of the overpowering blue light that is favored these days. Great vid!
Thank you!! I'm more of a freshwater person myself so I loved seeing the ponds and landscaping too. I can definitely appreciate saltwater but I'm totally be decking that 17,000 gallon tank out with freshwater fish hehe 🤣🤣
Simply incredible!
My goodness what a wonderful tour. Really enjoyed it. I am going to start saving my pennies so that I can come and see your aquarium’s when you get your setup as big as his. Hope your breaking ground for it now. ❤
Oh that would be a dream!! Maybe one day 🤣 I will definitely be inviting everyone to come visit if I ever do!!
Loved this video!! And always all your videos, he showed us everything that was nice!! Gonna watch it again
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 😁 Thank you 🙏
Such a good time kaity! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼 awesome video.
Thank you so much John!! And thank you for your awesome filming 😁🙏
This guy is just next level 👌
7:28 Don't look at the man behind the curtain!!!
-Wizard of Oz. 😯😯⚡🌈
What really cracked me up was seeing that humble box fan after all the fancy computerized stuff!😂
She is really lovely and asks all the good questions and makes the tours nice.... found this channel through Ohio Fish Rescue & King of DIY. 100k subscribers is the target and I think you will do that if you keep this quality. Do a vid with Predatory Fins /Stingray Biology if you can? I am sure they would have you on
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏 And I will most definitely do a video at Predatory Fins! I'm hoping to go back next year and do one 😄
Truly unbelievable place and one of the best videos on TH-cam congratulations well done 👏🏻
Thank you so much 😊🙏
Great video. Just shows if you are going to setup a saltwater tank no matter how big or small, you have to do it right. You should have asked how much his electrcity bill is!! Not that he would be too concerned about it but a curiosity point for us mere mortals.
Yes it would certainly not be cheap!! I think it was cool hearing how Andrew values the things he can't replace the most because when you have enough money to buy anything a lot of things lose their value
Beyond awesome, certainly on a galactic level!!!
💕👍💯👍💕
Great Video Kaity
Thanks for sharing
Thank you!! 🙏 I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Its amazing how it takes a small army and a small fortune to recreate mother nature.
Wow kaity I don’t know how you have managed to snag this collab. I reckon this could be your best video yet such a. Great video keep up the great work.
Awwww, thank you so much!! That really means a lot to me to hear that 😊 I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. And I'm certainly very lucky. It's been amazing how supportive so many hobbyists have been letting me collab with them
this is a crazy crazy setup
my god, this is incredible- felt like a tour of a nuclear reactor
loved this video, plus that east-coast accent really topped it all off 😂what a legend
thanks for sharing
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
His hifi room is epic. D'Agostino with Wilsons
My favorite thing is...well...EVERYTHING!!!
Agreed 🤣🤣🤣
Wow, Impressive reef system
Lol love the Italian accent. Blown away by the set up. Big bucks there.
Hahaha, it's very New York! 🤣 And yes it was just incredible!!
he's jewish i believe. typical li/nyc accent 😊. where/when i grew up on li everyone was either italian, jewish, or irish. or some combination- mom irish dad italian, mom jewish dad irish, ect, ect. 😂😂
Great, in depth video tour! 👏🏻👌🏻💯✌🏻
Thank you 😊🙏🙏
Omgggggg this video was insane 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Your tank is beautiful
That’s just insane. What it must be like to be able to do things like this.
I know right!! The things money can buy! I loved though how Andrew said the most valuable things are the ones that can't be replaced 😊
I'm gonna go dive the reef, honey. Just tap on the glass if you need me. 😆
What an amazing setup! To imagine someone has that in their home is insane. I bet I couldn't even afford his monthly water bill.
17:00 was that a freakn jackson pollock
Beautiful tank. I can't help but be reminded how rich some people are, when there are millions with nothing.
O3 is a reactive oxygen species but not radioactive. What gain would there be in using radioactive isotopes unless you would want to to same tracing of chemical reaction pathways?
