BEAUTIFUL Macro Algae Tank At Aquashella Dallas - Featuring Lettuce Nudibranchs!

This macro algae display tank at Aquashella Dallas was INSPIRATIONAL!
From the algae to the invertebrates and everything in between it was an honor to get to take some footage of this tank. If you're considering a macro algae aquarium, go for it! They are a great habitat for hundreds of creatures!

Alyssa’s Seahorse Savvy does an excellent job with all their livestock and offerings. Wonderful customer support too. My go to place for my seahorse tank for sure. Glad to see some of their stuff represented.

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

They have some super unique stuff!!

[@Arborpress]

This tank looks amazing. I think it would've been a nice touch if mangroves were implemented, at the least in the back chamber.

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

That would be cool! Long term that would be a cool option for that tank.

Labamahama! 🥰🐶

Well hello there!🦙

[@JakeDogg-RIP]

@@BahamaLlamaCoral this a good video! I love macroalgaes in tanks, always so pretty, I not know many places but it here in australia tho 🤷‍♂️🤔 hopefully when I get my first reef tank I can find some thru other hobbyists 🥰🐶

[@Stephenkillam]

Not gonna lie I’ve been seeing reef tanks in natural sunlight and they look amazing

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Right?! So much easier to video/photograph too!

[@Lutharthegreat]

Those planted tanks look so awesome. Need to plan a trip to an Aquashella show at some point. I like the bundle idea, I am down and can save us both shipping cost.

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Yes! Chicago is coming up!

Awesome video! You know im a HUGE fan of macroalgae dominated displays so this was a killer video! Strong work Jonathon and well done on creating this in such a short time period!

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Love those nudi's! What an interesting creature!

[@kingtidecorals]

@@BahamaLlamaCoral the nudi was a really nice touch. I’d say the filefish pair would have been my favorite part! The natural colors on the macro is a really nice touch

[@RogueAquariums]

The macroalgae tanks look really nice and well scaped. Alyssa’s seahorse savvy has some very nice gorgonian‘s and filefish

[@dustincrosby]

What's funny, I walked by you at the show on Sunday and said to my wife, that's that Remy guy and he's bigger than I thought... ha ha. Good luck on the road to 25k.

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Lol! I guess seeing KZbinrs in real life is always a little weird.

[@leviclark4305]

We raised and showed llamas at the fair from when I was young until I went to college. I'd definitely love to get some your pins and stickers!

got a stunning trachie on the weekend and reefstock sydney :D!!

Was at Aquashella last weekend, got some awesome rock flower nems. Passed by you Remy, you were much taller than expected. Even though I have no idea how tall I expected you to be lol Edit: I posted this comment then unpaused the video and literally the next thing you said was on how many comments you got on your height 😂

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

That's hilarious!! You shoulda said hi!! Hopefully you had a blast!

[@MotherRabbits09]

@@BahamaLlamaCoral it was a good time! I knew you had plenty going on that day, but next time i’ll say a quick hello for sure. I love the videos, you absolutely care about the effort you put into your videos and editing and it shows. If I could make one small tip that was a thought I had is when you show the clip of you liking and subscribing that plays every video - maybe update that so the liked video count is higher! It definitely think it would make a good impression on new viewers to show that clip of a video with 1.2k likes from some of your higher viewed videos versus the few year old clip with 76 likes on it. Just a thought! Dont mean to add even more editing time for ya as I know thats already the most labor intensive part of this channel, but I think thats a little thing that could make a difference if implemented. Hopefully that made sense, I don’t mean it as a negative criticism at all as I think this channel has some of the best content on this pocket of youtube. Sorry for the ramble 😂 have a great evening Remy!

[@michaelross5674]

I bought rbta for 20 a piece and some split already..... And picked up branching hammers for 10 a piece

[@apdroidgeek1737]

i have biorb with only macro algae and some soft corals. I have a really powerful airpump on it for water flow and kessil a80 for light.

[@niko-7417]

Great video as usual. Also love the natural light tanks. Unrelated question: Are you getting rid of all of your current tanks? If so does that mean your re-homing your weeping willow? I’d hate to see that disappear.

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Not all my tanks...Mainly the lagoon. I'm on the fence about the frag tank. It needs a bunch of TLC too but I don't want to contaminate the new tank with any of this live rock. Plus I might be getting a custom aquascape!

[@ou812reefing]

Got a 3” orange chalice coral from my LFS for 40.00 it was 70.00

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Very nice! Deals are great!

[@cringejokes1990]

Hi Remy, I get that this is a little of topic from this video but in one of your last videos you did a section with Than from tidal gardens and I am just curious if you have any plans of giving big online stores frags of your weeping willow for them to grow out and sell on their websites?

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

That might be a good idea! I don't at the moment but I think that would be cool.

[@CalcioFan4Ever]

Woo, new video! Hey, what's your opinion on that kamoer dosing pump you did a video on a year ago, thinking about gettingnone
