My name is Catie Cherry and this is my dad’s business!! Thanks for taking the time to visit him and Brett you guys! He told me about y’all making a video so I checked it out, I learned a lot more about what he does

[@erikwood4281]

I live about 30 minutes from cherry corals and never knew it existed. Took a guy from Canada to tell me it was here 😅 Just picked up a 21 tails torch from them today. Thanks for the heads up on this place.

[@Falteredsoul]

This was a fun day! Thanks March and Patrick for coming to visit Cherry Corals!

[@OCNcheffy]

Hey! What was the phosphate levels in the SPS tank? I seem to alway pale out my SPS when trying to decrease phosphate…

[@Falteredsoul]

Phosphates in the Acro system hover around .04 to .03 nitrate is usually 10 to 12

[@bluerider0988]

I've been they a few times. Good guys and nice Corals. Thanks for the video.

[@carlosthereefer]

Awesome footage, first thing I noticed were the Reef Moonshiner elements. I use them myself and can't stop recommending the Moonshiner system to reefers!

[@justinhyatt6086]

These guys are savages. Low tech, don't chase numbers

[@workermeeofficial3665]

Love Cherry Corals! Super big, clean, healthy frags! Thanks for the tour!

[@fragboxcorals]

your very welcome !!

[@Cgraseck]

So happy to see you do a walk through of Cherry! So many fantastic corals have come out of cherry. Cheers, Chris Teaching kids about global warming and ocean acidification with corals in the classroom.

[@fragboxcorals]

You teach em !

[@richardsnyder9262]

Great video! I gotta say, since switching to ESV salt I NEVER have any crud buildup, nor do I ever need to clean the pump! I do, maybe once a year anyway but it's always spotless and unnecessary. Been using their two part since day one and so many benefits from it. Magnesium, strontium and potassium are always on point, never need to dose those elements as they are in the two part already. Everything balanced perfectly.

[@docforestal]

great video tour!!

[@Val_Halla777]

Thanks March!- man what a super inspiring and informative tour. Cheers (I also recently listened to Conan’s podcast with Nelon and Carvey doing the Hans and Frans movie script reads. For those who watched that time of SNL…definitely worth checking out.)

[@NBurgReef]

Cherry is my go to site. Always the nicest and healthiest corals

[@fragboxcorals]

THanks !

[@ekorzen4676]

Nice set up!

[@915Mang]

Great Video, Cherry Corals has got a lot of my money! Good Stuff!

[@ManCaveReef]

wow.. very nice selection

[@reelbocafishing5904]

great vid

[@georgef5968]

Hey March! Love love love your Videos! Keep up the great content. Watching from Sydney Australia.

[@fragboxcorals]

Hello mate !

[@BlackPedagogue]

Awesome tour Frag Box. It was also nice to see Kessil lights on that QT system. Very healthy corals and very informative.

[@fragboxcorals]

thanks for this !

[@nathanmerrill633]

Great Video and I lost it with the bikes. Those corals definitely look as sweet as 🍒

[@Lookingglassaquarium]

March great video buddy ..cant wait to meet you at palozza in a few weeks .hey whats there nitrate and phoshate in the lps systems ?

[@Falteredsoul]

There are a few systems with lps in them. Three have similar levels of nitrate around 20ppm and phosphates between .80 and .50. One of the front tanks with the torches and bounce mushrooms has phosphates over what the Hanna 774 phosphate checker can read so above .9

[@Brad-k]

Sums up for ESV and Cherry corals! 👍🏻

[@yammyboyz]

Such a badass place!! so many pretty corals my god

[@fragboxcorals]

So much nicer in person

[@steved7855]

Except for everyone talking over each other, great video. 😀

[@fragboxcorals]

too much excitement !

[@queencityreefs]

So cool! Still waiting on an answer about what Patrick said about ORP and fish load. 🤔🙂

[@fragboxcorals]

Patricks is a baboon......

[@yammyboyz]

That zoa garden is unbelievable

[@fragboxcorals]

out of this world

[@Moondoggy1941]

15:51 I met Patrick and the two guys from RAP in the OC, I have not seen them for a long time.

[@seanross7967]

Love this facility. I buy here and pick up. Corals are healthy and pest free.

[@fragboxcorals]

THat's what we like to hear

[@Moondoggy1941]

I remember when I first meet the guys from Cherry Corals the hot coral were Acan's.

[@fragboxcorals]

wow you have ben reefing for a while !

[@SparkyHelper]

LOVE ESV SALT!

[@notwoke1041]

The intro is too funny lol

[@toddcherry4718]

Its not a strip club 😂

[@fragboxcorals]

strip club is for the adult version only of fragbox tv

[@stevencheng5722]

So, should I be getting my parameters lower since this guy's parameters are high but having successfully

[@Urmom-tj6cb]

At 5min mark what’s the reddish torch coral

[@senegalus]

super interesting and incedible nice looking corals. especially the nutrient part was very interesting for me. not running skimmers, not running rollermats - all understandable. but with this few fish, and this load of corals that are clearly growing not "slow" - where does the nitrate and phosphate come - extra dosing? can't be only from little reef roid handfeeding right?

[@brettharris4820]

Hi Markus, We have to dose nitrates in the form of Calcium or Sodium Nitrate, otherwise they would be at zero. Phosphates are pretty easy, we feed Mysis shrimp and LRS frozen foods daily.

[@johnbogart1973]

how do they keep GHA under control with such high phosphates ???

[@josephwhitt4719]

The first time I walked into cherry I was lost for hours now my whole tank is from them

[@fragboxcorals]

That's the way of the road bud :D

[@deadboi77]

I've got a piece or 2 from them, at local shows.

[@fragboxcorals]

awesome possum :D

[@opethmike]

Cherry Corals are rather pricey, but man are their corals nice if you catch them on-sale

[@fragboxcorals]

hey you get what you pay for !

[@opethmike]

@@fragboxcorals You absolutely do get good stuff with Cherry Corals; I just think it's super prudent to wait for a sale.

[@KyleenDrake]

God forbid, if something happens to one tank and they get diseased, what happens? Does he get more from another tank (not all eggs in one basket) or does the oceans get raided again?

[@mylifeontour6664]

Dude please, I like your videos you're great and I'm a subscriber but please for the love of god do your interview and then do the B roll.

[@emanuelwise9222]

Those coral @ 8:10 are amazingly beautiful! What are the name of them?

[@2ndchancesecondlife]

I am a bit confused, initially when you asked, what are the water paraments, they said only test KH and they dont know what there water parameters are. Then @39:23 they show they doing ICP test and got all the bottle to add elements...

[@brettharris4820]

hey 2nd Chance Second Life, We test Alkalinity daily on all systems. Weekly test of Nitrate and Phosphates. Since we are using ESV B-ionic on most of the systems, there is no need to test Calcium or Magnesium. We do ICP testing on all the systems every 3-4 months. The two SPS systems we have get ICP tests every month and we use the Reef Moonshiners system on those. One SPS system has Kalkwasser dosed 24/7 and we do have to bump up magnesium once every month or so. Hope that clears it up and thanks for watching!

[@2ndchancesecondlife]

@@brettharris4820 Awesome, thanks for clearing it up. Your corals look amazing :)

[@SpiegNet]

ESV Rules!

[@richardsnyder9262]

The Best!

[@toddcherry4718]

It does!

[@atfinthehouse8631]

What salt are they using? From where? What are the parameters?

[@fragboxcorals]

are you trolling me ?

[@werelikedat]

But great frags man

[@tomyoung7757]

They stressed the importance of alkalinity but did they ever say what level they shoot for?

[@alexcovert]

what anemone is that at 20:55 ? so amazing !!

[@Falteredsoul]

It's a Sherman rose bta!

[@Baseballislife72]

👍🏽

[@richardmayonz]

I might have missed it but how do they manage CA/ALK/MG? Reactor? Dosing? Kalk?

[@toddcherry4718]

The main acro system has a kalk stirrer dosing 24/7 with occasional bumps with ESV Bionic. The other systems are ESV Bionic 2 part.

[@richardmayonz]

@@toddcherry4718 Thanks Todd. Exceptional facility!

[@Vdeez]

Can we get a build list on the cherry mountain bike 😂

[@fragboxcorals]

You are more than welcome :)

[@shorttutorialhelp]

I can't watch the video any longer. I'll be broke lmao. This place is 25 minutes away from me. I could stand there and look for hours if they'd let me.

[@aaronfitz2892]

pov you buy a copper band partly for the reason that it eats apstasi but more so that it's pretty. Mines doesn't eat it at all so looks like back to peppermint shrimp. At least he doesn't touch coral

[@toddcherry4718]

We have them in every system and aside from acans they are very well behaved and all of them eat aptasia. They are all so tame they will eat right out of my hand 😎

[@aaronfitz2892]

@toddcherry4718 mines when I get his attention when he's not paying attention to eat, I literally will have to point him in the right direction. They are really smart fish, I love them.😭

[@abh3960]

Wow. .81. On lps. Tanks only. How about mixed. Reefs.phos level

[@eddiesaquarium5606]

🇨🇦🇨🇦🇬🇾🇬🇾👍👍❤️

[@gauravyadav8937]

Cinder block are set wrong way they may crush. Hole must face top and bottom i guess so less chance of getting wrecked.

[@toddcherry4718]

In a typical application you are correct, for ours it doesn't matter, 12 years and counting.

[@space.cowboy69]

i live right around the corner… to say the least, my wallet hurts

[@fragboxcorals]

OUCH !

[@werelikedat]

All your cinderblocks are set wrong and aren’t structurally sound you need to stand them so the holes are up and down not the flat surfaces they can and probably will collapse on you especially with the moisture and salt

[@jaredlynch8020]

No one in the states calls it dragons fur , it GSP😂

[@toddcherry4718]

We've called it dragon fur for around 5 years and we are from the states(in the description we say aka GSP). I never said everyone calls it Dragon Fur, just me and my buddy Rob.

[@sergtv6907]

Think they were joking a bit lol

[@danieljckson]

Its driving me crazy that all the cinder blocks are on their side! :p They arent meant to be on their side like that.

[@toddcherry4718]

Yeah, we know.

[@fragboxcorals]

they haven't failed yet so........

[@Reefspidey]

I’m from the US and I’ve never heard it called “dragon fur” I think that’s just a them thing lol

[@JoshMoore424]

Bro - I wanted to see the place, not get seasick!😂. Need to research how to shoot video for the next one. Couldn’t make it past about 3 minutes. Maybe next time!

[@Desmo1]

I prefer not buying coral from places with very low phosphate/nutrients, you’re just asking for trouble with corals accustomed to super clean water.

[@fragboxcorals]

did you even watch the video ?

[@T4CO1776]

Cherry corals has nice corals but WILL NOT honor their DOA policy's. I reached out to them a few times after receiving a hammer that was fried! completely skeleton by the time it arrived. everything else looked good, but they never did get back with me. I sent multiple emails. they responded 2-3 times asking questions and wanting pics, but then went silent after providing everything they asked for. (This happened in 2020)
