You can definitely tell Josh is getting more comfortable in front of the camera. He always makes great videos
Thank you for saying that! I will let him know.
It's movie magic lol definitely not comfortable.
@@jdearel1he’s clearly more comfortable doing this kind of thing
Josh is lowkey one of the best knowledge bringers in the hobby
one of the best at explaining things also.
Thank you for the love and support on the channel!
I came in out the blue last year and got super lucky because Vic was there and he had Alex give me a full tour of the place. Got to see so much heat in the back and Alex was really knowledgeable and nice about everything. I got to select some really nice pieces and he shipped them to me when I was back home. The shop is awesome and I can't wait to visit again soon. Great behind the scenes video!
I will let Alex know!!
Great message! Awesome work, Josh!
Thank you for watching
Keep the videos coming Josh!
We will keep them coming
Amazing, love the videos, I started a 40g mixed reef tank 1 year ago and it’s going great so far, watching these videos and absorbing all the info I can, thanks!
Well thank you for checking it all out :)
Always love Josh's videos. Very informative.
I visited WWC superstore 3 weeks ago and every time I visit the store, I get amazed by how clean the store is and how welcoming everyone is, I could not leave without spending money so I placed an order and it was delivered when I get back to New York from my trip, I saw Vic stepping out of the store for lunch or something otherwise I would have asked him ton of questions, I saw the 2 large tanks, I think those were 2k gallons each, I did not get chance to see the grow out tanks which was next door but I look through the doors and felt like scientists working at Jurassic Lab lol, coral frags we see on their website are the true colors because I have seen those with my own eyes, it is good thing I don't live in Florida otherwise I would spend 1 of my paycheck at the store every week on corals. Thank you for WWC staff for the tour of the store and giving time which I was buying corals with no pressure from them at all,
Thank you for stopping by and spending time with our staff, it really means a lot to us! We appreciate you watching this video and leaving a comment about your experience at our store 🙏🏻. We'll see you again next time!!!!
Vic’s tank looking soo good
Straight Fire 🔥🔥
Really cool to see some of the guys from the store. I drop in a few times a year ( the drive from Tampa is not as pleasant as it used to be lol) but every time I stop in I try and ask about different things and ways they take care of there tanks. Great video.
Thank you so much for the love and support!
Stability is really key. The staff even emphasized that point as well. Keeping your equipment clean, unfortunately, is overlooked by a lot of people which can cause problems down the road. Thanks for sharing Josh.
That is the biggest secret to it all, Stability! thank you so much for watching
That's right...take care of your tools they will always take care of you!!
Sending love from Edmonton Canada.
Hello!
The EGO problem is such a real thing! I was helping a local business set up their tank….. I told him all the stuff he needed to do etc, he did the complete opposite and a year later they are selling everything..
O thats not good.
Awesome content Marc really hits Home
💪
Who is Marc?
Another awesome piece of content by Josh and the boys
Thank you!
I love these videos. Very informative as always!
Thank you so much for watching!
Good info, thanks!
You are very welcome!
Get Eli the coral he's been wanting! He deserves it!
We agree!!
Great video
Love the great content guys!! Keep it coming!! 😊
We sure will
Josh, love the videos. Can you guys please do a par level video? In the show tanks and in your tank and Vics tank. I am starting to believe I need to actually lower my par!!
I will pass that idea along
Why not try? There is never harm in going down. The worst case scenario is dulled down colors or darkening. Which is easy to come back from. Higher light is much worse to come back from. But as mentioned in previous videos. Do everything slow and methodical. Best case scenario you end up with better coloration..
@@jdearel1 exactly. I am definitely going to lower my overall par. Waiting to get the par meter from my local club. The thing is that I increased my white channels a little while lowering my blue channels, I just want to make sure I actually lowered the par!!! I have seen good results from adding a bit more white, as I believe it excites some pigments in some corals. Reds look deeper, and blues pop more which is counterintuitive!!
Alex is the man!
World Famous Alex now lol
Yeah he is.
Great 👍 video keep up the good work
Thank you for the love and support
I love this style of video. Nice and long with explanations. This is why your the lead with subs. If there was a 100.000 more of me, I would hit that subscribe button
lol Thank you so much and good luck with the cloning!
Thanks for your support. Although Listening to myself for 30 minutes isn't exactly my idea of a good time
It’s Josh!
It is Josh!
the least easily fluctuating parameters are Ca & Mg. as long as you do your schedules water changes in a MIXED REEF, the only thing you need to maintain is alkalinity, NO3 & PO4. the rest is all about sticking to the same regimen everyday or every week or however often you’ve put together a schedule. just like keeping dogs, you need to feed it 2x/day, take it out for a walk daily, the way to keep a reef at home is just that. keeping a schedule
Consistency is the biggest key to it all.
Well said
I tell people it’s one of those things where having OCD is kinda helpful. If I don’t know all my parameters are on point then it’s hard to really relax.
Agreed. Attention to detail is very important in this hobby, but tanks seem to do best with keeping hands off as much as possible.
Hello, I loved your video, I would like to ask you a question, if it is not a problem, what material are your farm tanks and it is not a problem who manufactures them.
I can find out for you
They are Fiberglass Pentair sells them to the general public. They call them fiberglass troughs
What are you feeding fish? Flakes, pellets, frozen?
Frozen food
I have an ego problem, but luckily, I'm competitive as well. 😂
Its an adventure here for sure lol
Good now you know you are your worst enemy lol
what do you recommend to get rid of xeina coral. it is taking over my tank, i have other corals and sea anemones that i purchased from you guys. i dont want to disturb them by taking out the rock.
If you have a thin blade you can cut them from the base so it does not kill the coral itself.
Unfortunately this is the diligence part that has been discussed. You have to do the work. There is no "easy way" don't be afraid to disturb them the will settle back in. You will need to remove the rock, chip it off with a chisel and put the rock back. Or have a new rock ready and fully cycled, and replace it and take the rock to your LFS
Omg I closed a 5 year old mature softie tank that got invaded by it, brought a little tear to my eye as I loved that tank. Remove the rocks and peel it off and scrub the rest away and flush it away. Any pieces floating piece that you see in tank remove immediately.
@@marcopalazzo9349 xenia is one of those coral you have to always watch all the time, that maintenance is a must with them
@@WorldWideCorals never again would I put that coral in a tank.
What dog 🐕 breed is the one show in this video ?
Which one my friend the ones in the shirt?
@@WorldWideCoralsyes the one in the shirt @2:06
Alkalinity was a big subject on this video. Mine is currently sitting at 9.5 however it is usually between 8-9. My question is...... It's the lower the number the better when it comes to Alk? And how can I lower it?
9.5 is perfectly fine, the key is to keep it stable and always at 9.5. That being said, if you wanted to lower it, you can discontinue dosing anything that can raise alk, and do a water change with water that has lower alk levels.

Love you guys man keep em comin 👍🏼✌️
I have a 180g mixed reef main display w/ a 40g sump. Out of curiousity, what percentage of water are these guys changing weekly and how long is the saltwater mixed before the change?
I can ask them how each of them do water changes :)
😃🤘
Thank you
you removed Dalua light ?
over the L Shape behind Josh??
@@WorldWideCorals th-cam.com/video/VW9_2ZcxJII/w-d-xo.html
@@WorldWideCoralscome that schedule on the dalua app
I was wondering the same thing.
@@WorldWideCoralsyeah why did you guys remove the Dalua?
Why do i feel like unplugging the air hole in the noisy tank was aimed at someone in particular? You know who you are. 😂

Nobody really talks about PH. How about that.
I will pass that along to Josh
Ph is a good topic, but it's very short and sweet to be a main topic. Is there something you are most interested in? Like it's effects in the reef tank?
@@jdearel1 Everything is also a short topic. What number is good for the PH should be for a reef tank and how does it affect corals if it's to low.
Braxton is the Jesus of WWC
lol yes he is!
