I started feeding in 1993. In 2003 I opened a shop and install/maintenance saltwater only business. I sold it in 2015. The industry became so toxic and wholesale companies started selling to guys with frag tangs in their moms house next to their bunk beds. Everyone has the same exact stuff. Then it became buy it all and cut them all. Then LEDs came into the mix. Turned the tanks into a World from Avatar. I will Give credit here. The healthy of the corals here in this video are pristine. I’ve personally seen Jason Fox’s collections and not too many can say they can have a collection like his. This is a great start towards that! I see videos now and then and I might get inspired to do an SPS speciality tank featuring only Acropora Granulosa. It’s my favorite

Coral collecting is so much more rewarding when you’re able to tune out the social media buzz! I started to hunt and peck locally for corals about 2 years ago and do my best to distance myself from glamorous tank pics (yet, here I am!) The other thing to remember is that anyone with deep pockets can collect and photo corals to show off… that doesn’t mean anything. (not at all saying that’s what happening in the video). One of my favorite parts of the hobby is to hunt locally and spot sub $100 corals that have the potential to shine, but as being held back by their current owners. Also- the tanks/corals in this video are amazing as are the personalities!!

I would love to see what they are using to run this system. Absolutely amazing systems and of course it goes without saying that the livestock is beyond words. Everything looks absolutely plush and happy. If I ever find my way to Australia... This couple would be on my bucket list of people to meet!

It used to be a garage, now it is a coral wonderland! When both partners in a relationship are this motivated, you both end up spending plenty of time out there admiring those gorgeous corals :)
