    I started feeding in 1993. In 2003 I opened a shop and install/maintenance saltwater only business. I sold it in 2015.
    The industry became so toxic and wholesale companies started selling to guys with frag tangs in their moms house next to their bunk beds. Everyone has the same exact stuff. Then it became buy it all and cut them all.
    Then LEDs came into the mix. Turned the tanks into a World from Avatar.
    I will Give credit here. The healthy of the corals here in this video are pristine. I’ve personally seen Jason Fox’s collections and not too many can say they can have a collection like his. This is a great start towards that!
    I see videos now and then and I might get inspired to do an SPS speciality tank featuring only Acropora Granulosa. It’s my favorite

      Coral collecting is so much more rewarding when you’re able to tune out the social media buzz! I started to hunt and peck locally for corals about 2 years ago and do my best to distance myself from glamorous tank pics (yet, here I am!)
      The other thing to remember is that anyone with deep pockets can collect and photo corals to show off… that doesn’t mean anything. (not at all saying that’s what happening in the video). One of my favorite parts of the hobby is to hunt locally and spot sub $100 corals that have the potential to shine, but as being held back by their current owners.
      Also- the tanks/corals in this video are amazing as are the personalities!!

I would love to see what they are using to run this system. Absolutely amazing systems and of course it goes without saying that the livestock is beyond words. Everything looks absolutely plush and happy. If I ever find my way to Australia... This couple would be on my bucket list of people to meet! I hope we get a peek every once in a while to see how their reefing endeavors are fairing on.

Some of those hammers & frogspawn and as a fellow Ric addict, so jealous but so interesting about the bacterial infection. All those gorgeous Gonis and that basket of rock flower nems is my dream! Might need to mortgage my house to afford just a fraction of his collection!! I can’t wait to hear how he runs his systems, his coral feeding regimen and water parameters. ALL his corals are so incredibly fluffy and healthy, would just love to pick his brain!

    Hey Sam (or Michael if you come across this comment haha), I was wondering where we can get access to Cipro for Reef treatment or Coral dipping here in Aus, can't seem to find it without a prescription. I've lost a few hammers and torches recently seemingly out of nowhere with no signs of stress on any of my other euphyllia and wanted to give it a shot. Thanks!!

      @ParkersReef  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Daily. Dose will vary based on your tank and coral load, ICP will determine amount required, but you essentially want it to not show on an ICP despite dosing (as it oxidises out of the water column fairly quickly)

      @@brianstarr9871 yeah thankfully with low height tanks, you can go a pretty long way without needing cross bracing. It does obviously raise the cost a bit as you will need thicker glass, but it is entirely possible. It is the height of tanks that really determine the need for cross bracing. Also consider a euro style brace which can offer some of the support without the obtrusive cross bracing, just a convenient lip around the edge of the tank to sit things on whilst your working :)
