"That's how a side track works and that's how ADHD works" haha. You crack me up March. Keep up the great work! :)

[@holmestown3]

I find myself watching more and more of your videos lately, like watching jake in the early reefbuilders videos. This hobby is filled with so many great people that give back so much and you sir are one of those great people!

[@Mimir_the_wise_]

Step one, the coral goes INSIDE the aquarium 😂

[@bdanford01]

“This is a tripod!” *takes camera off tripod and zooms around the store* I like your style.

[@MrGarciaJr]

I would've thought by now it was freezing in Canada an you'd be posting like crazy. We need more March!!!!

[@tribbittyt]

i was just looking for a coral placement video and my favorite reefing youtuber posts!

[@megantraxler138]

I get so stressed trying to place my coral. I google every and each one for placement and they almost always are “these are aggressive don’t place next to another coral” ect then I see tanks like yours and am definitely convinced I’m overthinking it lol… I want my little reef to be crowded like this.

[@fishyjoe6470]

gotta get a rumble pack for that tripod, camera too steady gives me non-motion sickness 😁

[@dextersreeflab]

I'm with ya March. I'm 40. Love the trumpets. They were 🔥 back in the day. Especially the purple and kryptonite

[@sher666]

Looking forward to the podcast!

[@JustinTurner000]

was great meeting you today and helping with my first salt tank. Can't wait for the day I can add some stuff!

[@sher666]

As a new reefer I really like your videos, thanks!!

[@tonycloseukreef3799]

Nice one March I'll have to look out for some fox coral interesting 👍

[@jtdr2023]

#1 Love that frag cradle. Can’t find anyone in the states that make them. #2 keep us up to date on that reef flare. I was thinking of swapping out my XR30 Gen 6 for one but if support isn’t good I’ll just stick with what I got. I saw the reef flare hooked up in my LFS and really liked the light. Thanks for the video!

[@michaelhopkins5447]

Favorite KZbin reefer keep the vids comin'!

[@jjkeywest]

You could look into setting up KZbin Memberships and then having a discord made for those members who would want to be a part of one of your livestreams. One of the younger people may be knowledgeable on setting everything up.

[@justindonflorendo7478]

Wow! Amazing! I was really just watching your video from two years ago, "gluing corals & placement". I do miss Tia. 😅

[@Reefer_NYC]

Some Illumagic X4 over that tank would look crazy!

[@RiggsDotMov]

to fix the blur on the camera when you turn you gotta raise the shutter speed on your camera

[@williamgoodman9861]

Hey enjoy your videos. I started my reef tank in 2000 its a 245 gallon

[@driftguyae86]

Hey March, when you test out the hydros you should try out some illumagic lights also.

[@daluainternational]

Here, here!!

[@driftguyae86]

​@@daluainternationalill gladly test some out if March doesn't want too 😉🤣

[@daluainternational]

@driftguyae86 haha we don't need anymore testers haha but thanks for the offer. Always happy to get you setup tho 😍

[@danlahrman5395]

Exactly what I was going to say. I really like the Dalua X4

[@driftguyae86]

@@danlahrman5395 their sps beast pack blows anything out of the water. Two main spot lights and two bars to get rid of any shading. Pricing even with the US dollar and shipping is cheaper than 2 xr30''s.

[@lifebidesign]

You need a gimbal or a better camera with good video stabilization. Camera shakes to much

[@Coralicious]

I like old school corals like the fox coral

[@TailEndCustoms]

Man I would really love a reef casa nano tank. Just don’t have the funds.

[@ericbowers71]

Easy frag placement is now a snap!

[@hazer72]

EZ Snap plugs would be easy to do with 3D printed PETG

[@danlahrman5395]

All this talk about coral placement but no mention of lighting or flow or even acclimation. That tank is looking great with all types of coral mixed. Maybe I'm focusing too much on these things. How do you do that?

[@CoralReef69]

Hey there I’m testing 5.7 alkalinity, 415ppm calcium, and 1280 magnesium. I can’t seem to get my alkalinity up to 8 after a week of using aquavitro eight.four, it’s been about a week with little improvement in alkalinity. My salinity is 35ppt. Am I doing something wrong?

[@TheNewfiessj6]

I Cant wait for the coral sauce launch! any way we could volunteer to be a tester LMAO

[@logansuriano556]

For the frag plug you’re trying to make, have you thought about having baby scores right by the base so it’s easy to snap?

[@MotoSly]

ahhh The guy from Toronto ;)

[@sebastianschwestka8873]

What for a Lightsetting at the Hydra you have? kind regards from Germany

[@cesarjuarez2066]

What’s that big Favia next to the shrooms in the front

[@shawnriv9]

Bro you sound like me, I have ADD as well. Lol.

[@dennajarr9808]

So what you are saying is that if I make a purchase online you’ll hand deliver it when you come to Ohio right?! 😂 I’m like 30 minutes from Tidal Gardens

[@larshunnekens9863]

May I ask which lighting scheme you use for the Aqua Illumination lights? 🙂

[@nickm9922]

Fyi: He has made videos about that before :)

[@lydiahunt7517]

can you do a video adding new sand to an existing tank...

[@oldschoolnewventure845]

March you need tia

[@fritosgaming]

you should try a live stream sometime

[@gauravyadav8937]

Can i place all euphyllia together?

[@CaptainDusty]

How’s digs doing? I miss that old bear

[@jaylonmarikar6829]

Hey what happened to the tide pool look?

[@darkwolf704]

What about a zoom link?

[@mightyreefer2724]

You need tia shes the one that would tell you if that coral looks good in that spot or not😂

[@oldschoolnewventure845]

thats what happens when tias not there

[@detroithammer8869]

big ass chromi or small tank?

[@fragboxcorals]

big ass chromis

[@oldschoolnewventure845]

where's tia??????

[@tribbittyt]

she left the store

[@strat1960s]

Wish I'd seen this 3 years ago when I put the hammer 10-inches below the walt disney. 3 heads grew to 20+ head hammer and is killing the walt disney. Argh!!

[@nickm9922]

Most people starting can only wish that happens eventually though 😂 Nice reason to go bigger? Or atleast startover with all learned knowledge? Some big trims and sell-off of frags, then start back up?

[@strat1960s]

Hahaha. Yeah, I know I don't have much to complain about. I set this tank up as my "last" tank. The tank is 48x48x24. If I went bigger I think I'd do 72x60x24. If I had it to do again, I'd creat more coral islands to prevent corals from encroaching on eachother. I have a Montipora growing up a Green Spongode. Again, not the worst problem to have. @@nickm9922
