[@NRKA]

Thanks for coming sam, always a pleasure working with you ❤

[@ParkersReef]

Always enjoy the trip, thanks mate

[@shemusmcquillaide]

That one screamingly day glow orange kind of smaller goniporia I think it was, towards the right side of the tank and on the bottom, wow! I dodnt think I've ever seen a more intensely colored coral than that. What a fantastic shop.

[@ParkersReef]

It's a pretty crazy goni hey, the AMA team continually produce the goods!

[@RockysRC]

Another great vid sam, They are a couple of great looking displays shows confidence in what they sell and also some different methods and ideas. I will definitely have to visit this shop when I can ,cheers

[@ParkersReef]

Totally agree! Thanks for watching, be sure to tell the team you saw the video when you do visit :)

[@RockysRC]

[@ParkersReef]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@MrEvilmitch]

Another great video 🙏 my cade 1500 is finally cycled and I've added my first ever saltwater fish . Just a pair of ocellaris clownfish for now . No corals just yet 🎉🎉

[@ParkersReef]

Super exciting!!! All the best with your new clowns :)

[@ianmilillo8491]

Awesome reef tanks!!!!!!

[@ParkersReef]

Pretty neat displays!!

[@antoniofaustino2548]

Good to see, we don't need too many gadgets to get beautiful and colourful acros, simple and easy. Already got the ticket too fragarama . I will see you guys there!

[@ParkersReef]

Looking forward to it mate!

[@subhra_s_das]

Jono is adding some magic potions 😊, displays looks astounding

[@ParkersReef]

They look decent hey!!

[@noggindoo]

Hi amazing stuff, looking at the second display there were some wrasse in there but it was a bare bottom system. I didn't think you could do that?

[@ParkersReef]

Depends on the wrasse, not all are sand dwellers :)

[@morgsmorgan9813]

Great vid, beautiful tanks. I am interested in the cardinal fish article; I can only find the article about herbivore poo vs coral eater poo.

[@ParkersReef]

Many thanks! Yeah I’m waiting for Jono to give us the link to that article, plenty of us are interested!!

[@thecoralandfishguy]

Really beautiful tank! Why doing bare bottom?

[@ParkersReef]

They prefer the look and the ability for high flow

[@TheJohnny220]

Living down under has its it perks. Such amazing coral from the coral sea. Envious

[@ParkersReef]

We are fortunate, however we can only access Australian corals and inverts

[@TheJohnny220]

@@ParkersReef oh so I bet you want that Indonesia stuff. 🇮🇩

[@ParkersReef]

It sure looks amazing!

[@TheJohnny220]

@@ParkersReef yeah some of the milli s that come out of there are pretty special. The problem is I've never seen anyone grow it over here. They all just die after a while. Or they grow a centimeter every year and nobody want to frag it

[@ParkersReef]

@TheJohnny220 I find they lose their wild colours :(

[@AVIS2K2-ul5gv]

Can you explain more about the cardinal fish and Acropora infection? (I can't find the article) Thanks

[@ParkersReef]

I haven’t been able to find the link myself, hopefully Jono will jump on tonight 👍🏻

[@NRKA]

Not infection, the bacteria Their stomach produces helps with acropora supposedly ill find the link

[@dilshanudayasiri231]

Hey Sam. Awesome vid once again. Love the shop. I have visited it quite a few times. I didn't quite catch the name of the fuge light. Which light was used?

[@ParkersReef]

It’s a zetlight. A pretty affordable brand to be honest

[@FirstKind.1]

Hi Parker! Can you or can you have your guest explain what happens to the water quality as it passes through each stage of the sump/refugium system and their reason for the way their sump is set up? Thanks great content always look forward to your next episodes

[@ParkersReef]

Thank you!!! I will do, but there is usually a few things that happens: 1. Mechanical filtration (socks or rollers) 2. Protein skimmer (removes organics) 3. Refugium (removes more organics) 4. Chemical filtration (targets things like phosphate with GFO) 5. Return - pumps water back to the display!

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Sam - you gonna a be at Melbourne Pet Show?

[@ParkersReef]

Wasn’t planning on it, but I did hear you may be coming???

[@dariantan7923]

Hi do u guys quarantine ur fishes ? How did u add ur Achilles and pbt? Together?

[@ParkersReef]

Jono will reply here, it’s a good question for sure as they are angry fish!!

[@Fish_Ventura]

On the second tank, does he run UV 24/7? Thanks Sam, his tanks are next level. Stay cool down there!

[@NRKA]

Yeah mate UV all day everyday

[@ParkersReef]

UV is always best 24/7

[@markushoehle1207]

This gonio garden❤

[@ParkersReef]

It’s nice hey?! 😍

[@jacobmuscarella4190]

On the first tank if you ran radion pros, what would your setting be?

[@ParkersReef]

I think AB+ is the popular choice

[@marcon5723]

What is that digital temp gage he has on his tank

[@ParkersReef]

Yeah I did see that on the first display and have not seen it before. I believe Jono might be covering that on his channel soon but can hopefully reply here to give you the basic info now 👍🏻

[@NRKA]

They are just some cheap temp gauges from ebay, they are not 100% accurate but quite noticeable for staff as we work past on our checks

[@Gordon87Gekko]

Why acrylic better than glass for that sump?

[@ParkersReef]

Because it looks pretty, that’s about all

[@Gordon87Gekko]

@@ParkersReef is the 3m tank acrylic? I'm trying to design a big tank.....so I don't think I have a choice but acrylic 🤷‍♂️. Great video BTW. I'm new to the channel.

[@ParkersReef]

@Gordon87Gekko welcome to the channel! It’s glass :)

[@Gordon87Gekko]

@@ParkersReef Glass!! Geez, I didn't think they built them that big! Wouldn't acrylic make more sense in your home for safety reasons - leaks?

[@ParkersReef]

@Gordon87Gekko acrylic is not common here in australia, glass is much easier to get hold of

[@mwilk19]

Are you prohibited from importing captive bred fish into Australia?

[@ParkersReef]

Yes I believe that is the current situation yes

[@mdcool5717]

The sand is messed, and that's where a lot of your problems started.

[@ParkersReef]

Tanks seem to be doing fine without it, but I must admit - I love sand in a reef tank

[@briankavanagh7191]

Sweeeeeeeeeet.

[@ParkersReef]

Great tanks!!
