$20 Million Dollar Home REEF Aquarium! (FULL TOUR)

In this video we head to Long Island, New York, to visit Andrew Sandler's INCREDIBLE 17,000 gallon home saltwater aquarium known as ‪@PoloReef‬. Andrew's saltwater tank is packed full of many rare species of fish and corals, including corals from the late Jake Adams of Reef Builders - Rest in Peace Jake.
If you think the tank is incredible, wait until you see what's out the back...

This man is on a different level. This is no hobbyist. He's a scientist and professional. Sea World's got nothing on him!!!

[@popchu3680]

This guy is not on another level, he's in another Galaxy, he is what I wish to be when it comes to taking care of fish and seeing them happy..

[@tommybunk2292]

Wow !!! It's crazy to see what a very wealthy aquarium "addict" can make happen with their personal collection. Sandler's home puts many community aquariums to shame. I love the aquarium life style, but looking at Sandler's insane tanks and ponds makes me wonder if I would go that far if I could afford it. Sandler doesn't half ass nothing, I imagine that trait is part of his success in life. Thanks for sharing Kaity !!!

[@Kaityscichlids]

Agreed Tommy!! There's no half assing here AT ALL 🤣🤣 Definitely a trait of success. It was absolutely brilliant 👌 I think I can safely say if I had the money I would do something like this but the freshwater version lol

[@tommybunk2292]

@@Kaityscichlids a different rift lake in every room in Kaity's mansion, on the cliffs above the barrier reef. 🤙

[@lpoolck17]

This crosses over from being a hobby to an obsession! Credit to the owner as he knows his whole system. He obviously wants the best of the best!

[@Kaityscichlids]

Most definitely!! I have so much respect for people who are so ambitious and can direct their obsessions into projects like this. It's fantastic to see

[@charliekahukiwa2552]

I've watched hundreds of KZbin content of ppl's home aquariums.....this has to be the most eye opening system out there...just the RO system alone is off the charts....

[@Frank-sr1dz]

Exactly that's what I was thinking myself. 💯🐬🐬🐬🐬👍

[@Kaityscichlids]

I know right! I was just blown away. It was absolutely spectacular, I didn't even know some of these things existed

[@alan61979]

I've seen a few videos of this tank. You'd think by now Andrew would be fed up showing people around, but his enthusiasm really shone through here. Would love to see it in person. Great video Kaity. He's living our dream 😂

[@PoloReef]

❤

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you so much 😊🙏 Yes he's so enthusiastic and passionate about it, and so generous to be showing so many people around!

[@travisb8288]

Out of all the tours I’ve seen of this tank, you have done the greatest! Nice job!

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you so much 🙏🙌🙌

[@spencerkooyman13]

Oh, to have the freedom to pursue my hobbies like this man does! What an amazing home, and aquariums!

[@travisrichards6181]

I’ve seen Andrew Sandler so many times. He’s always a pleasure to listen to

[@Loveofpets]

Wow! Beautiful tanks! It nice to have staff to help out. I love the Bearded Collie, so well groomed.

[@Sea-cucumber1151]

I think that is the only way to do it, have staff!

[@scrubjay93]

I highly support this man's obsession and thank him for being willing to share it with us. Since many of us can only dream of having such a tank, this is the next best thing - an up close and personal virtual tour. Baby Giant Clams!!! Some people own a dozen yachts, complete with helicopters and mini-yachts. Some people spend tens of millions on a painting. This gentleman has his own private coral reef and what a passion! You could not keep that density of fish without star-trek-level engineering, filtration, medication, purification, and redundancy like he said. He's a walking aquarium encyclopedia. Very fun thanks!😊 🐠

[@DannysAquariums]

Andrew is the man! Great guy with some awesome setups!

[@Kaityscichlids]

He is so cool!!! Thank you Danny 😊🙏

[@Dizzle409]

Wow that whole property is mind blowing !

[@iwobbly9374]

Kaity, that was a very interesting tour of Polo Reef. As it was very open and I have been able to send onto friends who I think will like to see the beauty of the hobby and what it takes to have a great tank, wether small or super large.

Simply amazing! There's incredible engineering effort behind that huge and amazing tank. Sana all. 🎉🥇🐟🐠

[@EliteFTW8]

Crazy cool video, I just wanted to say ozone is not radioactive, it's a free radical making it very reactive and oxidises anything it can to remove the radical. It is not radioactive because it doesn't have a half-life and doesn't decay into other elements. Keep up the great work love your videos.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Interesting!! Thank you so much 😊🙏❤️

[@unkownperson9250]

kaity you are amazing... every one of your videos makes me proud of you. just be careful on these trips. please prioritize your safety. blessings as always.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Awww, thank you so much 😊 I really appreciate it 🙏

[@DavidMuscat8889]

What an amazing video! I have seen this tank and set up in person many many times and I cant believe how just by watching this video there are still things I have not seen. Its a state of the art set up! Andrew is one of a kind. A true class act humble gentlemen. Keep up the amazing work Andrew, and his team!

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you David!! He most definitely is, it was such a fantastic experience getting to meet Andrew, he is such a lovely man. And that's so awesome you got to see things you hadn't seen in person in the video too! 🤣

[@Sky-ym3nb]

So, I have watched several youtubers vlogging on Polo reef tanks and some of his set up but I have to say good job laity on these new never seen equipments and set up and more thorough coverage of his equipments and his mansion . I thought I was a salt water reef addict , this guy took it to another level .

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you so much!! 🙏 I really appreciate it and I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊 Hahaha yes, Andrew is next level!!

[@rsmfernando]

Wow, and I thought the deep sea aquarium at the Dubai Mall was it, until this private noncommercial hobby space, definitely next-level hi-tech stuff. Thank you, Kaity for sharing this experience.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you for watching it!! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@sal9842]

Oooh my absolutely loved This is so awesome to see all this. I had no idea someone was so passionate about this type of hobby. This is just breathtaking. I would love to live at that house. I probably never leave that big aquarium never thank you so much.

[@johnbrand1893]

Seen this guys incredible home aquarium when George Mavrakis visited when his channel was named ‘coral fish 12G’ and besides his main tank, seen some others, some off the behind scenes on equipment controlling his tanks, but nothing like the in-depth tour on your video kaity, this guys taking fishkeeping to an unbelievable level. His mansion expansion with the surrounding land that encompasses his incredible dedication to the hobby is testiment to his overall success and wealth in life.

[@LearnMore2024-g9v]

correct lighting, Big skimmer, correct dosing, algae scrubber fuge, and there is no need for water changes. I seen this on one of Parkers Reefs videos just recently, the Co owner of Reeftopia Michael i believe, he has an amazing coral tank in his garage and he also said he does not do water change. Great vlog Kaity you have the gift of the gab, you make a great aquarium journalist, you will definitely get to 100k subscribers in no time, I have no doubts.

Hands down for inspiring us - the engineering behind all of that aquariums - not just the money to buy it.
