The quality of content you're delivering is second to none. You make it look so easy, even the flaws look good... the Zoa's wish you had a garden but don't listen to them there MAD! Seriously the best SPS setup hands down!! You're ABSELUTALY REEFING!!!

Much appreciated!

Wow!! No words to discribe this amazing video. 9 minutes with my hair stand on end and my heart stopped. Thanks for this videos. Hobby is better with persons like you. And beautiful aquarim...of course.

Wow, thank you!

[@somniumrose2459]

Love how cinematic/dramatic your videos are. Also appreciate that sometimes it's about those little things that sometimes get overlooked.

[@CoralEuphoria]

I appreciate that!

[@oakville09]

when you started pulling the corals out and sliding them back in, my head literally exploded

[@percyadams1040]

I almost cry in front of those colors! I live in Tahiti and can tell you that your piece of reef is better than most snorkeling spot! 😃

[@CoralEuphoria]

Oh wow!

[@eillyacostandinides3344]

One of the prettiest aquariums i have ever seen in life and youtube.

[@pk-pj4sz]

Woooooohhh Soo cool your snails all started breeding in the same time in the water column and they were feeding your Coral

[@DiepBlueC]

dammit Abe! You raised the bar again. Music, videography, creature health, all on point. Someday when the covids aren't a thing, I need to snag some frags. Keep it up!!

[@donmonteith775]

You know what's funny? I knew this was your tank before looking at the site name. I have several of your corals and all are doing great. In the process of removing some others to make room for more. Great job!!

[@9StickNate]

Impressive! I really like how you're colonies are removable. That Tierra del Fuego is stunning!

[@CoralEuphoria]

Thank you very much!

[@bjsreef6620]

Your videos always inspire me. I know that I can have a tank like yours with time and attention to details.

[@garrycole9187]

One of the best tank out there.

[@thepassionreef]

One of the best KZbinrs out there IMO...Your tank is such an inspiration for anyone to have an sps dominant tank...The video content is amazing as well..The best part of this video was the snail eggs swimming around freely in the water and than being captured by Yellowtail Damsel and Chromis..Beauty bro keep reefing and have a good weekend...

[@CoralEuphoria]

Appreciate that

[@joshpowell8153]

wow!!! that is the best SPS dominant tank I've ever seen!! amazing colour, great placement, insane polyp extension and coralline everywhere! for 6 months this is crazy!! I'm insanely jealous of your tank! great job =)

[@aarondus]

What a transformation! Your tank is looking as good as always. I always enjoying seeing how easy you make moving coral around thanks to your peg system. On my next build I’ll definitely be doing this!

[@TommyG0]

Absolutely ingenious of you to have each coral on rods to easily swap and take out of the tank. I might steal this idea (;

[@retroreefs7986]

Amazing Abe! Love the piano misssed the commentary. Starting a new system next week 5x2x2 with a 80 gallon frag tank tied in. Definitely looking into the tunze wave box ty

[@CoralEuphoria]

That is awesome!

[@WilSantiagoReefing]

Very beautiful corals! Love the diversity of colors and shapes. One of my favorite SPS tanks on KZbin 👍

[@brockkirschenmann9711]

Question for you on the coral base growth of your home made plugs. Ive seen all your videos and like the idea of how you do that. But as corals grow and start to base our over the edge of the flat part of the plug how do you keep it from growing on the rock. You you remove and trim the bases to prevent that? If not then the plugs get stuck around the base and rock. Just curious how you maintain that. Thanks for the info

[@jebbus95]

Following along for answer

[@CoralEuphoria]

Yeah sometime I'll trim it, but I don't worry about it too much growing on the rock.. If they encrust over, I can just dig out around the platform and take it off. You could always make big plugs if you want to avoid that as much as possible.

[@ThaMaikel13]

Love your tank! I like it how you have really thought about your scape and drilled all holes for plugs into it. I will definitely consider this for my next tank!

[@CoralEuphoria]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ReefDudes]

Tank is looking great. whats that purple glue looking stuff you used on posts to mount the corals?

[@CoralEuphoria]

Thanks. It's just a colored super glue gel that I no longer use. The post was too loose, ie the hole is too big, so i just secured it a little better by making the post thicker with the glue

[@modotd3885]

What a beautifully crafted video.

[@CoralEuphoria]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gibbnal]

Great video as always. I'm curious if you see a significant change in Alk/Ca/Mg demand after removing all that coralline algae?

[@CoralEuphoria]

Great question, I reduced the alk dosing after cleaning it off. The tank does seem to be consuming less a week later.

[@ANGGaming]

O swear to god I almost cried watching this video.... this is the most beautiful thing in the world

What a picturization. You need to make a separate video about what equipment you use to film.

never use muriatic acid!!! i suggest using citric acid or a weak concentrate of vinegar.

Correct on the first one. The second one is neon nights.

[@g2del]

I'm amazed at how much detritus builds up but it doesn't seem to impact your tank negatively. Is that because of the age of your tank or coral feeding off the resulting nitrogen?

[@Joshthereefer]

What species/trade name is the colony on the bottom left at 5:19 ? Is it a granulosa? It’s so nice. Thanks

When that happens, all you have to do is carve around the plug and you could lift it off.
