BEAUTIFUL 90g SPS Dominant Reef Tank Tour - You'll Want SPS After Watching This Video!

Nick will easily turn you into a SPS lover after this video!
I want to thank Nick for allowing us to come into his home to see his beautiful reef tank. It's pretty amazing to think that he can grow such beautiful SPS colonies in a relatively small lagoon style aquarium.
As always I want to thank Tyler (@inland_reef on IG) for his macro shots! Got check out his instagram here: / inland_reef

Wow. Thanks for this awesome video Remy! And thanks everyone for the kind words! I owe most of my knowledge to the local reefers of Stl. If it weren’t for them I would probably still be rocking a leather and green star polyp dominant 10 gallon! 😂 🙏

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Thanks for having us over! I know I'm ready to start diving into the world of SPS in my new tank thanks to you!

[@nickoshaughnessy836]

@@BahamaLlamaCoral glad to inspire! That’s what this hobby is all about! And when you are itching for some new acro pieces, hit me up! 🤙

hey love the tank i am also in the STL area check me out on my channel and my socials linked in the cannel banner cant wait to talk more

That little pico behind is looking packed with macro algae

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

It's super packed. I'm gonna take it down soon. Time to start stripping tanks from the room!

[@VinZClan]

Man i missed watching your videos. They always calm me down with that soundtrack in the background and looking at beautiful reefs. Really helps to keep my anxiety down low !

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

This comment means a lot! I always try to provide a little escape from reality with these videos. I'm happy they help!

[@johngraves2185]

If you want next level trace element dosing, then you should look into reef moonshiners. Your sps and other corals will thank you.

[@FishOutOfWaterToronto]

A Remy production! I am hooked!

[@Justwar224]

Good talking to you at aquashella!

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

You too! Always fun to reconnect with everyone!

[@FishOutOfWaterToronto]

Though I love when reefers love their corals.

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

YES!

[@kingtidecorals]

I like the preaching of COLONIES. It’s always great to see beautiful full colonies in a tank! Awesome video Remy!

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

He just let that thing GROW for awhile. Hands off growth. That's how to do it!

[@kingtidecorals]

@@BahamaLlamaCoral no touchy!

[@frankpohl8746]

When does a frag become a colony? Real question.

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

@@frankpohl8746 Personally I think it's when you don't have to ask the question. If that makes sense. You look at it and say...THAT is a colony! lol. Heck, it's all subjective. If you dive on a daily basis, your definition of a colony will be a lot different than a hobbyist. And let's be honest, we've all become so used to TINY frags so anything bigger is impressive.

[@kingtidecorals]

@@frankpohl8746 such a good question! I’d say depending on coral species but I like this great debate!

[@calvo_cc2291]

Wow these last videos have been a hit

Nicks SPS dominant tank is very nice. Beautifully displayed colored colonies. Thanks for the tour Remy.

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Glad you enjoyed it! A true inspiration!

[@78matt]

I feel PH is something people started focus on the last year or two. Maybe because more people use calcium reactors now? I have never tested Ph.

I like the simplicity of his system. 2-part seems to be the way I am going to go. I have had my Neptune Apex for 6 months and it’s still in the box. Lol.

[@nickoshaughnessy836]

It’s not hard to setup. Just do it slowly. You don’t even have to plug anything into it but get it plugged in and online so you can see how awesome it is! 🤙🤙

[@BlackGoldReefing]

@@nickoshaughnessy836 I have been trying to find a perfect cabinet for the APEX. I have the trident and one DOS bit don’t want to keep it all in my stand. I also heard it may void the warranty. I really like the custom PVC innovative marines makes, but I just don’t see spending that kind of money of a box

any idea whats the height of his radion from the ceiling to the tank?

Do you mean how high are my lights from the surface of the tank? They are about 12 inches off the surface.

So..... About those bubble tips. I had one and it turned into 40 over 6 months. How do I stop them from splitting? I have ultra roses also.

[@garrettnickles9070]

Is BENS NEMS a thing anymore ?

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Not that I know of.

[@garrycole9187]

He needs a house with a basement where he can dedicate a room behind his main tank to do all the filtration and etc.

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

For sure!

[@frankpohl8746]

Near a lake. Well the lake part would be for me. Extra room behind tank would be great but.

Why does he say brs 3 part when he is clearly dosing AF 123 plus

[@robertnick8452]

I'd like to know why he lies also

[@robertnick8452]

Ya for real it's clearly AF123

[@petert2041]

Could be reusing the containers… why waste a decent container. I do it.

[@nickoshaughnessy836]

Hey so I used to dose AF 3 part. But now I just dose the brs chemicals with trace elements because it was getting difficult to find the AF components. Reusing > recycling.

[@robertnick8452]

Ok bc I also use AF123 but it's expensive, hard to find and not to concentrate. Are you getting the same results from using brs with trace .? Seems more complex
