I Love Josh's take on nutrients here around the 6 minute mark. It might hurt some armchair experts feelings out there but it's spot on. We measure at such specific and small levels of nutrients yet people are out there chasing numbers and disturbing stability and killing coral that are 1inch in size. Get really good at growing corals out and being stable then maybe start playing with levels to bring out colors. Not enough people are saying this in the hobby
I love the 750 gallon tanks. I have been to the store once when on vacation and saw them through the door. Even from a distance all 3 were stunning. We need videos of all of them.
This overview was very well done. I very much enjoy your pentagon lagoon tank. But those three grow out tanks are by far my favorite tanks you own and have showcased. Just a beautiful trio. And I love how they're integrated into the raceways behind them. It's a very neat and clean way to create replicable sections or a modular approach to a coral farm. I'd love to have just one of those 2,000 gallon systems to play with. Beautifully well done. Josh's explanation on how to achieve peninsula flow successfully while maintaining that pristine view, was very well said and well planned. Having upgraded into a peninsula, I found that task quite challenging even for smaller corals. I found myself setting it up much similar to one of your raceways, sacrificing one viewing side with several MP40's to better maintain water flow. I think I'm going to have to play more and take some of Josh's advice. Thank you.
I love seeing that Stylo. I'm new to the hobby and my first SPS, I got a few weeks ago is a purple Stylo. Not just because it is considered easy, but because it is truly beautiful! It has given me that little bit of confidence to keep trying more finicky corals. But seeing the Stylo showcased like that was amazing! Thanks for another great video.
Congratulations on your work! One question, when you fragment acropores, do you do it inside the tank if it is not possible to remove the mother piece? Thank you
Thanks for replying. I have a 120 gallon tank that is 2 feet deep, 2 feet tall, and 4 feet wide and I struggle getting proper flow. Do you have any suggestions on how to provide flow properly for a mixed reef tank with these dimensions? Thanks for any advice you could provide.
@@mattlanghoff9020 depending on how the truck structure is built. I normally run one on either side more toward the front in the path of least obstruction. Not forward too the point that you can't magnet the glass in front of the powerhead. About 8" beneith the water surface. The other two lower on the same panels, opposing like the first two, closer to the back behind the rock. This way it creates turbulence to the right and left of your center overflow on the bottom of the tank. This usually removes the dead pockets and lifts the crud to the drain. The two front powerheads doing the bulk of the work since you won't be able to turn the rears up high
Thank u for the info on the phosphate! I have almost made my self go crazy keeping a 0.05ppm.I have fish that need feeding several times a day, so having a rock steady 0.05ppm is very hard for me.
If a consumer was to use the preset lighting schedule for the Ecotech Radions for the 96x60x30 mixed reef, what reduction in percentage would you recommend if the lights were 8" above the water line versus the 24-30" distance that WWC uses?
Really it depends on how demanding the tank is. How close the lights are mounted together and how heavy the bioload is. It's a good idea to assume a 20% differential to be safe. And obviously a close visual observation period
@@jdearel1 Tank is 96x36x25 and has 5 Radion G6 that are 8” above the water line. 16” apart from each other. As far as bio load, 40 fish in total. I have a par meter and placed SPS about 12” below the water surface which measures around 250 par but all of the beginner SPS eventually lose their skin and bleach out. I’m assuming too much par?
@@bigheadreef579 acropora almost never lose their skin from to much light. I would try finding the answers in the water before blaming the light. But to your original point If you have a par meter I would match your par less 20% as a starting point.
What is the yellowish orange coral at 7:15? I have one shaped just like that with brown skin and neon green pin point polyps and I have no idea what it is

All 3 are very beautiful, We will start to get more of them up.
Thanks Vic for all you do for our hobby!! Happy new year!

Thank you so much for the support! Once that stylo takes off let us know so we can see!
@WorldWideCorals Will do! So far it's doing great. Someone told me that if I kill it, then I need to find a different hobby! Haaa haaa haaa
Thanks for all you do for this hobby! Keep up the great work. All the RESPECT from Nebraska.
“Like a raft on the edge of a waterfall” probably one of the best explanations for that I’ve heard 😂 Great job WWC
lol Thank you.
@6:29 good advise on prioritizing. Plus, online is so much info. Beginners need one book at first, then try some new stuff and goals.
Great video, appreciate all the information. No other channel that give all details like WWC. Fantastic!
Thank you so much!
Love seeing Josh on videos!!
So do we!
Josh ... always 💪🏼 His old & new conversations about flow are the key to success. Great video, guys.
Awesome videos guys, much appreciated. Keep up the amazing content 🍻

Absolutely fantastic and amazing tank!
" This guy must think of flow, when he's dreaming"😂
Thanks for the tip and information on having the top power head at a lower speed than the lower one. I struggle with delivering proper flow.
Specifically on a peninsula tank

What pumps are you using
2 mp40s. One on each side

You guys mentioned that the lights weren't turned up for color and growth, so how much PAR are you getting at the top and bottom? Thanks!
Be glad to take some those coral off your hands 😊
Send us a message to contact@worldwidecorals.com....You never know
Great episode.
You guys got a lot of work coming up in tank redesigns early this year that's for sure.
We are pushing that is for sure.
Josh is a real pro
Great vids
For corals farm do you guy get sunburn from the reef light? Like if you work under the reef light the whole day can it give you guy sunburn?
We keep them up in the air high enough to work under. Although I'm sure the farm guys and gals keep their arms nice and tanned.
What's the name of the pink and green one at 18:48? ❤❤ Thanks!!

Beautiful 🤩
Thank you so much!!!!
Trying to get Vic’s 80g Ai settings but it looks like the wrong file is uploaded there!
I see a big live sale coming!
It is possible......lol
Learned a bunch from Josh's flow tips... He should have a t-shirt ADIDAF (All Day I Dream About Flow) 😂
That's a good one, gotta love a good korn reference!!
@@jdearel1 😂
I didn't think corals had photosynthetic cells is that why ph is high during day when lights are on vs night
What is the aggregate/sand/etc. on the bottom of the tank?
VIC.."We're not perfect Guy's !" Could have fooled me 😂😂😂. And I know im there twice a week. Heck sea world ask for advice from you all. WWC IS KING
Do you have any Red Sea reefled 90 schedules for a leather dominated tank?
Unfortunately no we do not have any seat time with these lights.
😮that mushroom!
…I hope you’re getting enough chunks of live corals to keep them safe. Don’t let them bully you.
can we get this tank preset
why is the music always so loud compared to the voice audio?
Pick me pick me 125.
okay so… what’s the “BIGGEST” mistake?

The fish market and corals have lost a lot of interest the last year
