dude the sump sponge shots were art!

[@martijnvanbeek4387]

My deepest bow to you, not only for your beautiful tank but also your way of filming and scoring it. Love it!

[@Robert-im5ut]

You have the best videography and editing period.....you’re in a class above all the rest. You’re obviously a master at more than reefing! I love your content, keep it up!

[@t.regnerus301]

I prefer this style over someone talking throughout.

[@glenbuyer8738]

It’s a crime against humanity that you only have 10k subs, you’re videos are amazing and you’re reef tank equally so.

[@michaelbain6402]

I be waiting on your videos like a TV series! They never disappoint.

[@matthiasmitra8643]

I just discussed your channel and it has quickly become my favorite you tube reef channel. Your content, videography and music is top notch. Please keep it up!

[@lazyreefer8749]

My word, this is a work of art. The tank and your videography. 👏

[@Hook1fred]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again “The best reefer vids on the net” PERIOD..... to many hacks out there making videos

[@RatherBeTraveling]

:) Thank you for sharing this experience with the world. Your tank, your editing, the journey of your adventure with the tank is inspiring. :)

[@donlewis1275]

You’re videos and coral are on another level. Keep the videos coming!

[@jasonkorando]

Some of the best produced and edited reefing videos on KZbin. I always look forward to watching your videos. Job well done sir.

[@TheNzAuCommunity]

Don’t often comment on videos ( this may be my first!). Amazing video quality. Thanks for sharing

[@acrogarden642]

You really have inspired me to start my own coral farm in the future. I really love what you do and keeping SPS is such a passion of mine that I am trying to get right. I have struggled recently keeping them but I have done my homework and read a lot of books and gained information from local reefers in Los Angeles. I am shutting my tank down soon, moving to NY and this restart will do me wonders. Great video man!

[@artofwar-3263]

What a coincidence, I took a screen shot from a video of yours yesterday and showed it off to my co worker who was just as amazed.... Thanks abe !

[@craftaquatic6472]

Another wonderful video. I always enjoy how you always give just a little more, than the viewer expects.

Absolutely stunning work. I can‘t decide wether your way of making film or your reef is more impressive. Loved it!

[@natalbreefing5934]

Thank you for taking the time to make such well edited and thought out videos.

[@thomawhite]

Man, you are really getting GOOD at making these videos! You definitely have a style of your own, and I like it - keep up the great work.

[@007LSV]

your creativity shows from your tank to the way you present your videos, awesome!!!

[@retroreefs7986]

Just another demonstration of how you master reefing. I can’t tell you how many local guys have stopped by recently and have brought up your channel and your methods to me. Your trending big on Long Island lol

[@aljan1aljan2]

exceptional tank, i love how as a viewer i felt involved in your story telling w your creative cinematography, keep it 👌🏽

[@Awkuascape]

Not that your videos weren't good before (I still subbed afterall), but the last few have been incredible. Keep doing what you're doing man!

[@MrSuperSlater]

Very very good editing skills. My favorite channel by far!

[@afyounie]

The slow flow filter is interesting to me for clearing up the water. I inadvertently did that same thing using a Pentek GAC-5 filter cartridge in a 5 inch filter housing. It has a 25 micron prefilter which slowed the flow down considerably. A couple days after installing it and I noticed considerably clearer water. They are $2.76 each, so I plan to only run them every few months or so when I notice the water getting yellow.

[@theguitarist1977]

Lovely tank and nice video. Mind sharing your parameters? Struggling with acropora all the time!

Best reefing youtuber ! All your video’s are great

[@willc3195]

I really liked your videos. Especially I’ve feeling like backing out the hobby lately. I’ve been doing a lot of sticks like you. I actually almost broke down the tank until I saw this video released. It gave me the feeling of back when I started out in the hobby when I actually will get excited and motivated when I see an amazing piece of coral. This video made me wanted to keep going and keep building for what I always wanted, an acro paradise.

[@captivebredcanada]

Very nice video! Not only have your production skills really improved the flow of this video is very nice for a 14 minute video without speaking. I also really like the simple reactor designs. While I do have a couple of BRS reactors I have more than a couple of tanks that could occasionally use carbon polishing, I'll have to put 1 or 2 together.

[@russellchiles3343]

Nice documentary style on this on . Well done.

[@deadbrother5355]

Great video. Thank you for your work.

[@jluusaltwateraquarium8320]

Super fantastic video and corrals too.... I buy alot of Acropora from you... I wish one day it going be like your Acroporas inside your tank... I wish one I can found someone helping me out.... Thanks again.. In few months I'm going older some more Acropora corals....

[@SPSSimp]

Quality video as always buddy 👌

[@calipsosreefs4843]

Love how the fish behaves like they were in the ocean hiding between the acros and only come out to eat

Yessir!

[@TheTimSargent]

Vids are always on point! Thanks for the great content

[@luishenriquefeltrin]

Here in Brazil we use a lot of shrimp that we call a dancer (Lysmata wurdemanni or Peppermint Shrimp) to fight aiptasias, in addition to being a natural, permanent and reef safe control. Much easier to care for and can access places where a copperband does not reach, in addition to doing your job much faster than berghia. You only need to be careful if you have any wrasse in the tank, as they love to eat this type of shrimp

[@wesspangler]

Cool video! Loved every second. You’ve got some serious skills!

[@grzegorzstepien1399]

I love your channel mate. Excelent shots of corals. I wish you publish video's more often. Greethings from central Europe.

I love your tank and the way you keep it .. love your videos keep it up we missed you

[@Ichthys_Aquatics]

I added 10 berghai to a 80 gallon system about 2 months ago. 5 to a 29 gallon and 5 to a 50 gallon system, that are connected by a common sump. I have not seen them again. I have seen a couple of the aptaisa in the 50 disappear, but none in the 29. From your experience how long does it take to start to see the aptaisa disappear?

[@rickmiranda8183]

Very entertaining to watch your video with very nice background music!!!

Not that i can tell

[@sunnygoold9449]

Ummm I thought someone would have asked this Abe but don't any of your fish eat the Berghia? I would have thought the wrasse and damsels would. I have peppermint shrimp that I put in early on (and I took out 2 bigger aptasia first with F-Aptasia. I still have them in my sump though - possibly I will get 3 Berghia and put them down there and see how they do but they are not worrying me and I have a dragon pipefish up top and plan on getting a few wrasse (incl a Tamrin and a Pencil. Another great video mate - the DIY part was awesome... now you got me thinking

[@yt1877]

Hi wanted to ask you something because I can't speak English, I wanted to write it with a translator, can you please tell me how often you dose Lugol's solution and how many drops, thank you again

[@marcosherrera675]

Hey brother does that kessil light get warm? I'm still trying to get my bucket fuge up and running. I found a small enough bucket to fit in my sump after weeks of searching. But now my only concern is the heat from the light could possibly melt the lid to the bucket.. how do you keep that from happening? By the way my first acro is doing well. It's actually growing..the yellow tip is sprouting more yellow tips..if this acro continues to do well I will be buying a bunch of stuff from you 👏. I just have to make sure I don't kill acros first..lol

[@CoralEuphoria]

Hey Marcos, I only have a problem with it melting the bucket lid if it accidentally gets bumped and the light is shining light on the bucket lid itself. As long as the light is centered Over the Hole, it is fine. But the heat is something to think about. Ideally having the lights sitting on some type of metal would probably be best. But like I said as long as the light is shining through the lid and not hitting the bucket lid in any way I don't have problems.

[@marcosherrera675]

@@CoralEuphoria ok cool brother I appreciate the response. My bucket is going to be alot smaller than yours but I'm going to buy the same light you have. Actually I'm trying to buy everything you have as much as possible as I continue on my acro growing journey. If I'm half as successful as you are I would be absolutely thrilled bro..thanks for all your advice.

[@richardportelli1983]

Absolutely stunning!

[@Alex_Correa]

Mangrove does not add anything, Abe. It will actually contribute a bit to the yellowish of the water. The amount of nutrients that it will take is truly insignificant. Some of those black buckets, like the one you are using for your "bucket refugium", are made with recycled plastic, containing toxins, and are known to release phosphates in the water. Some of the blue buckets do that too. I avoid any colorful buckets and use only white ones because of that. Great video! Love the Berghia!! Thanks very much for sharing!! Always a pleasure to watch you videos!

[@airforceone938]

Awesome video as always. I get nervous with having a razor blade that close to silicon. Do you have any wrasses in your tank? Your Berghia are doing really well I would guess you do not.

[@CoralEuphoria]

Youre right, I dont

[@michaelarmstrong5405]

Hi Abe, going back a while when you built the 140g sump you included a DSB. Have you been able to qualify its performance? Cheers

[@CoralEuphoria]

I took it out since putting in the bucket refugiums. I did notice changes that could be attributed to removing the DSB. So I don't know if it was doing anything.

[@undergroundreefs6523]

what size would you make a rowaphos reactor for a larger tank lets say 80-130 gallons

[@CoralEuphoria]

For running rowa on a tank that size, i would just get a regular reactor powered by a regular pump. The aqualifter pump isn't that strong and I'm guessing it would have a hard time pulling through a thick layer of rowa.
