A marine scientist and his reef tanks. Hadley from Sydney Reefing!

[@derekdartes3573]

Totally unwatchable due to the Australian question intonation. Disappointing really as it looked interesting.

[@ParkersReef]

Lol sorry, I guess it is part of the interviewer and the person being interviewed being Australian :D

[@micmalawi]

It gets better later on as his confidence settles.

[@Zedman3333]

whhaaaaaaaattt !!!??

[@SydneyReefing]

Was great to meet you in person mate and thanks for having me on your show :)

[@ParkersReef]

Great to have you on, always a pleasure!

[@ChrisMoniz-u9n]

Easy to find new to your youtube

[@ChrisMoniz-u9n]

Come from parkers reef

[@Nyata37]

Oh man im so glad you did this video, I’ve been dying to know more about @sydneyReefing since finding him on insta 6mo ago! I actually built my scape inspired from his! I have to ask, do you keep mainly white spectrum light and if so why? I’m running a mixed sps dominant with montis for 6mo but keep hitting walls. I’m running mostly blue/purple with barely any white

[@The_Altered]

Would you be able to share you light settings? I love the look!

[@SaltWaterSteve1]

Awesome 🙌🏽 Exited to see the upside down reef 😍

[@ParkersReef]

It's going to be pretty cool!!!

[@grangereltringham5716]

such an amazing system, you can tell he's spent a lot of time on wild reefs, most hobbyists don't have that reference and their tanks show it.

[@ParkersReef]

He has a well trained eye for sure!

[@cory5386]

Greetings from Arizona!!! Awesome video Sam. I love this guy and his channel. Ive been watching him since he started. Thank you for another awesome video, I really appriciate all the work you do to bring us great content. It takes alot of time to do all this and I hope you know your dedication to the hobby and to your fans dosent go unnoticed, thank you!

[@ParkersReef]

Appreciate that! Glad you’re enjoying the content! Still even more to come yet!!

[@SharbucklesReef]

Amazing tank, great video, great guy! Being able to collect corals from the wild for your tank is mind blowing!

[@ParkersReef]

It's pretty cool, isn't it?

[@nickapos1]

Great video Sam. Hadley let’s see this upside down reef! Great work guys 👏

[@ParkersReef]

Thanks so much!

[@Barnesy95]

Awesome! Thanks for setting this one up. Brilliant work to you both!

[@ParkersReef]

Thanks so much!!

Great episode. He is doing amazing. 🔥👏🏻👌🏻🙌🏻💯

[@ParkersReef]

He sure is! Thanks for watching

[@bishbashash5319]

So much love for his aquascape, he definitely has the eye for coral placement

[@ParkersReef]

Absolutely spot on 👌🏻

[@jtm6671]

This is not an aquarium! This is art ! Amazing 👌 one of the best

[@ParkersReef]

Glad you like it!

[@julzalexander]

That is one inspirational system 🤯 nicely done Hadley and great choice going the 2ft Cade cube for your next project 😉, can’t wait to see how the under-lighting experiment goes!

[@ParkersReef]

Thanks mate, looking forward to that one too! 😄

[@morgsmorgan9813]

Great video Sam. I was lucky enough to buy some equipment off Hadley and was in awe of this tank and hearing of his research, especially around Groote Eyland. His observations around Manganese consumption in the reef biome helped my Gonis immensely when I realised it was almost impossible to OD. Super nice guy too.

[@ParkersReef]

He’s a great guy and a fantastic reef keeper. He’s done an amazing job.

[@monsoonaquatics8441]

Beautiful tank, Hadley ! Great video, Sam !! We love!

[@ParkersReef]

Thanks team Monsoon!

[@coastalclownfish]

How good is Hadley's tank, fascinatingly clear. Love Roger 😊

[@ParkersReef]

Haha yes, Roger is a character!!!

[@yourfavoritegarcon]

fantastic video, thanks for sharing your tank with us!

[@ParkersReef]

It was a pleasure! Thanks for watching

[@barelyreefer]

That's a great looking aquarium!

[@ParkersReef]

It was a pleasure to work with Hadley and put this video together!

[@CuriosityTops]

Love natural colors.

[@ParkersReef]

Me too, much better than blue disco

[@damiantosd8720]

Great vid Sam as always. Intrigued to see how the Cade lighting comes along.

[@ParkersReef]

You and me both!

[@dylanz5598]

That is one gorgeous setup!!!!!

he's done well hasn't he!

True that!!!

[@kreativ_corals]

This is epic! So stoked for the share!

[@ParkersReef]

Thank you!!

[@focustronic831]

great video and can't wait to see how the lights below the tank can do. we had similar ideas before but not from below but sides

[@ParkersReef]

Thanks, it’s an interesting concept, really looking forward to seeing how it performs!

[@focustronic831]

@@ParkersReef make sure you do a follow up after the tank is setup for a couple months....

commenting again. I love this collab

[@ParkersReef]

Thank you!!

[@michaelhoward7115]

@SydneyReefing I found your channel thanks to Sam mentioning it on a previous video. Instead of calling your new project the upside down reef, it clearly should be called the "Down Under Reef"! Enjoying your content. Thanks for sharing and thanks as always to Sam!

[@ParkersReef]

Hahaha love it, clever name!!

[@tb4368]

Amazing tank! I would love to know the plan for cleaning the bottom of the new tank. An interesting thought regarding the top and bottom lights would be to have them on opposite schedules. A bottom lit reef at night could be awesome.

[@ParkersReef]

I like the way you think, that could produce some seriously interesting results! I'll have to follow up with Hadley soon to see how it is going and how he does go about cleaning the base of the glass!

[@tysont2380]

That is gorgeous. Novice question but why is his tank so clear and natural where as other saltwater tanks I've seen are so blue to the point where it looks artificial?

[@ParkersReef]

It’s the lighting spectrum that Hadley chooses to use :)

[@tysont2380]

@@ParkersReef Amy benefit either way?

[@ParkersReef]

@tysont2380 it’s all mostly aesthetic

[@mrtsmgmc5032]

hello, thanks for these great videos to watch. I want to suggest something, can you put some marks on the progess bar about when starting dialog about water parameter, equipment etc. part @ParkersReef

[@ParkersReef]

Great suggestion! I'll keep that in mind for future videos.

[@SaltWaterSteve1]

I had just found his channel

[@ParkersReef]

make sure you subscribe to that one, he has some cool content!

[@gregdepot]

Is the experiment how long it takes the tang police to show up, its a nice tank but seems a bit cramped for the Tang and Foxface.

[@ParkersReef]

Was discussed in the video 👍🏻

[@gregdepot]

@ chasing kids around havn’t gotten to finish it yet but yeah not Suprised its adressed

[@ParkersReef]

Has a plan for them, so that’s the important thing 👍🏻

[@ryanwashington3330]

It would be super cool to do a floating reef for the upside down reef

[@ParkersReef]

that would be cool! Might need to secure it somewhere though otherwise it would bang into the glass with the waves :D

[@ccalin6592]

Amaizing tank! What are the dimensions of the tank? thank you

[@ParkersReef]

It’s actually for sale at the moment!! Dimensions are fairly small, I can’t remember exactly but I’m going to say something like 60x40x40cm

[@ccalin6592]

@@ParkersReef it can not be 300L with those dimensions....

[@ParkersReef]

Woo hoo!

[@h2oglassbox]

Not gunna lie, the fact there was no mad lab full of hobby experiments and coral breeding setups left me feeling a bit disappointed 😂

[@ParkersReef]

Hahaha I do need to visit his lab at uni to see the crazy stuff I reckon!!

[@MrSnuggs]

How does he not have any anxiety from the chance a fish could jump out? Ive had a fish escape from glass lids and mesh lids

[@ParkersReef]

Kid free home seems to do the trick!!

[@marciomoreira-v2e]

gallon

[@ParkersReef]

I’m assuming you would be curious on the volume of the aquarium in gallons?

[@barelyreefer]

300 liters=about 79 gallons

[@aaqualex4868]

the tank looks good but the selection of the fish for the small tank just makes me shake my head...how can you do something like that these days....

[@ParkersReef]

Was all discussed in the video 👍🏻
