Again, i miss Marinedepot, they only screwed me twice!

They both seem like Oil Snake sellers innit!

You mean, no BBQ??? 😢🥹😭

The snail shown around 12:05 is infested with parasitic piramid snails that possibly also infect clams and will end up killing your snails.

12:52 i love the way he said "good luck with that" with the grin

amazing. thank you for what you do! super appreciate the level of honesty

One of the best videos in my opinion. It was a Tidal Garden wisdom buffet.

Hey Than, speaking of "methods", what video editing software do you use? I trust what works for you must be surely be good enough for what I need to screw around for fun.

Than - Are you using Dalua Illumagic X4 lights on your Display Tanks? If so, how do you like their performance?

You could do 24/7 livestreams on the show tanks! I think that would be interesting, and coming back every couple of days, or weeks, would be very interesting to see the growth and changes. It's worth a shot! Love everything else you said!

YAY NEW VID!!!

Yeah these tubs are more for non reefs or non reef fish such as sharks and rays pretty much not for coral or if you want to use them as a non reef exhibit

Thanks for this video!! Quick question you use orphek lighting?

Love the TG Method idea! Some great conversation pieces that I'd love to dig into with you soon.

Than, I would love to see a video where you go through and look at some packaged consumer aquarium options and apply your thought process/method to them. Not necessarily rating them, but giving us the questions that would go through your head in terms of reliability, stability, ease of maitenance, etc. Just an idea - feel free to take it or leave it!

Wait, you don’t actually have a store front? I can’t make the drive from Michigan to come visit and purchase anything in person?

🤩 🤩

Im on almost 2 years no water change, 3 times a year i get an oceamo ms test for 65$ and correct from there. Unless there is an issue from the water test would be the only reason I would do a water change at this point. It works and works well once you realize fish and coral like stability almost as much as they like the parameters to be within that happy range

looking forward to expanding with some of your ideas in place. I've started to adapt a lot of what your thinking into the way I go about my systems

Good info thank you

Than enjoyed meeting you at the Charlotte reef show! Glad to know you went to Michigan! Go blue! Keep up the great videos!

My phone notification truncated the title of this video to "What is the Tidal Gardens Meth..." and I just see Than sitting there in a lab coat with blue hues all over. This coral farm is all a ruse. It's clear now he's got a Gus Fring-esque basement where the real action happens.

First!

I much prefer the clean lines of rimless. Call it a legacy of FW days...but, my reef is built in wall, and the brace is not visible. Having the peace of mind of added strength was a no brainer when the tank was built 👍

Well 10 years later here I am buying my first coral and it’s a 24k lepto 1inch frag for $35

The easiest way to tell is how they grow for me polys have alot longer stems and tend to eat way more aggressively than zoos at least for me I've been growing them since the mid 90s Great corals especially when they ball up after a few years

do you guys think a 75 gallon rimless is safe?

Such an incredible gift of a video! Thank you! Where do you do your research before starting an experiment?

That Rainbow Diaseris... Holy shiz that looks too good to be real. Wouldn't have believed it without you. Can't wait to see a grown out plate looks like! THANKS Love the care info and personalized description on the page. That's above what most any other farm does. Looking forward to my first order!

I’m also dabbling in a freshwater tank, also watching serpa design and md fish tank for info on how to 😂

$250k for 17 year breakeven is a bad deal like you stated. Just comparing that to the stock market or any reasonable investment, you're losing a ton of money. Even if you lowball at 4% that's close to double your investment ending around $486k or with 8% you'd be looking at $925k vs just breaking even and getting your initial investment back. With preowned panels and doing it yourself, yes, it would be worth it. But definitely not if the electricity is SO CHEAP! That is just wild!

That suit button had me in stress! If that thing pop out it will break a tank glass

The 4k is is working good on this stream didn't have the option to watch 4k on last months ,looks great. Enjoying the show from Australia 👍👍👍.

Finally figured out the 4k broadcast settings!

elliot is always great

Great podcast! I could listen to Elliot talk about fish for hours!

Would these work for a 20 gallon cube?

Great podcast . Interesting regarding the black out on CB’flys - I was recently recommended to avoid LED spotting from commercial light bars especially above CBs in QT ( even low wattage ) causing confusion in the water column when feeding .

Great video, thank you

Can you emphasize on cycling with corals again? I am starting my 200 gallon tank soon and I'm very confused. The forums are in a civil war, some people are adamant on letting their tank mature for corals, some people put corals first week. As a beginner, even If I can put corals first week, the question is SHOULD I? I see you are basically starting the tanks with "dry rocks" or no rocks at all. Is there a path I could talk the could help me with the least amount of algae with most corals? Should I do what you did, buy a bunch of corals and put them in my tank. Although my biggest problem with this technique is I don't have the experience to figure out whats wrong if there is something wrong. I might buy hundred of corals just to kill them all.

These weird things are likely the closest living relative of vertebrates. Maybe if I keep some I will finally understand them.

Boxer crab, or pompom crab as it's called where I'm at is great for nano tanks! Gotta set up the scape so the caves are still visible, but I love watching mine wave it's poms around

I wish we would have talked about Copperbands at Aquashella! The secret to Copperbands seems to be getting them to eat with frozen clams from the asian market. I got this method from another channel on youtube (reefdudes, I think) Once they start eating it seems like they'll shift to mysis without any issue.

RIP Jake 👏🏼🙏🏼🫡👼🏼

The purple and green ones are probably borneman anemones. They reproduce more quickly and are purple with green oral disc.

What causes the bubbles to be trapped like that at 1:45? is it a substance secreted by the coral itself? or a film like build up from something in the tank? it looks harmless, and somewhat beautiful, but im not quite sure.....

Oh so it’s NOT about the medication or the strict process… it’s the miracle mud! Easy 😎

Listening to Elliot is so heartwarming. Being in the retail side of this hobby made me incredibly cynical about how horrible it is for the animals. Seeing someone who actually cares gives me hope for the hobby long term.

Truly awesome video. Thanks Than and Elliot. Did Elliot mention the dosage and duration for methelyene blue? I went back and found where he says its been a game changer but didn't hear how he uses it. It's so nice to see people who actually care about the individual fish needs and about it surviving. This hobby is brutal on these living animals.
