[@jaysrealreefuk]

Aussie's know how to reef. 🙌🔥. Another beautiful dream reef, cracking reef Rob 👍

[@ParkersReef]

We certainly give it our best shot!

[@eliasdagher481]

Very nice tanks, well done!!

[@ParkersReef]

Thank you!

[@cory5386]

Sam, greetings from Arizona. Thanks for another awesome video. The footage is absolutely beautiful and so clear. It's awesome to see another hobbies have a great respect for his fish. They should be loved and cared for just as much as a dog or cat. Keep up the great Sam. Rob, absolutely amazing tanks and I really can't wait to see the fish only tank again soon!!!!

[@ParkersReef]

Thanks Cory, appreciate that!!!

[@antoniofaustino2548]

Rob's reef tank is looking very nice, but the fish selection is beautiful. Great job.

[@ParkersReef]

Thanks Antonio!

[@ArrickthaRed]

Both tanks looking great

[@ParkersReef]

Agreed!

[@jhaych]

His coral is great, but the fish selection is absolutely brilliant

[@ParkersReef]

Has a great mix of not so common fish!

[@subhra_s_das]

Very nice . Thanks for sharing .

Thanks for watching mate :)

Hey Steve!

[@queencityreefs]

So these rimless tanks although thick glass bow in the center? Great episode! 👏🔥👌💯🙌

[@ParkersReef]

They sure do mate

The second aquarium is cool, I loved the angel fish. I have a 200 gal tank, only fish with coralline algae on all the rocks. It looks luxurious over time. The only thing that needs to happen is that tank matures and becomes full of coralline, that tsnke with kh. tall and good lighting you will have coralina I hope you see my videos. I also have a very good aquascaping, I tried it, that is good in the aquarium to have good circulation, greetings, I hope to see more videos of that angel fish tank 💯👌

[@ParkersReef]

Nice work, will check out your videos!!

[@migueltostado7184]

@@ParkersReefThank you, you'll really like the aquascaping, pretty coral looks great with just fish, I'm about to put those pretty cool angels in there.

[@ParkersReef]

do love a good aquascape!

[@Vroomy1986]

I had the same scare buddy, i have the s2 2100 also and I drained half the water asap and was straight on the phone. Adam was great to talk to and calmed my nerves instantly. Great Video Sam cheers mate!👍

[@robertverzin1235]

Absolutely scary !! Adam has been fantastic. Had an issue with one of the doors and I had a replacement delivered to my house the very next day.

[@Vroomy1986]

@robertverzin1235 wow that's pretty impressive, yea cade will always have my business.

[@ParkersReef]

Cade sure do a good job that’s for sure :)

[@Vroomy1986]

@@ParkersReef Hey Sam, do you think they will ever go the route of having a model that comes braced?

[@ParkersReef]

they do a braced tank in the freshwater side of things, and custom is always an option :)

[@michaelhoward7115]

Great video Sam! Thanks for sharing Rob! The wrasse at 21.50 in the video looks to be a Dusky Wrasse (Halichoeres marginatus). Not so sure of the big wrasse you were discussing before it though.

[@ParkersReef]

I think you might be spot on there Michael, thanks for watching :)

[@marinetechknj]

I may be wrong, but just a thought on the colors. Some corals change colors depending on intensities and wavelength of UV light. From what I understand is some colors like iridescent pink are like a type of sunblock. 31:00

[@ParkersReef]

Interesting. How would one go about manipulating the colours with light to what they want?

[@marinetechknj]

@ParkersReef I'm trying to locate the article and presentation I read on the effects of UV light, and I'll post it here. Below is one response from the author showing some of his data. The author is Dana Riddle Coral Pigment Name Activator Transition Pigment Clade Dendronephthya sp. Dendra Blue Light @ 488nm Green to Red D Dendronephthya sp. DendFP UV-A at 366nm Green to Red D Favia favus Kikume UV & Violet (350-420nm) Green to Red D Lobophyllia hemprichii Eos UV @ 390nm/Violet Light ~400nm Green to Red D Montastraea annularis UV/Violet Light Green to Red D Montastraea cavernosa mcavRFP UV/Violet Light Green to Red D Trachyphyllia geoffroyi Kaede UV - Violet Light (350-410nm) Green to Red D Here's the info from my data base. Note all are from Clade D fluorescent proteins. I do not have any information on other color transitions in other corals.

Gutted I missed this but was on a lad weekend away but Rob tank looking amazing buddy truly jealous of thous hammer and elegances 😱😱😱😱

[@ParkersReef]

Hope you enjoyed the show mate, how was it???

[@robertverzin1235]

Cheers Lee. Appreciate that.

[@one-armed-reefer5184]

@@ParkersReef show was ok but lacking in corals but had great time was recognised by a few from your tank tour as well

[@one-armed-reefer5184]

@@robertverzin1235no worries buddy tank looks amazing and love the fish only 👍🏼👍🏼

[@ParkersReef]

You’re a star!!!

[@tips0123]

I would suggest using more broll of the tank and systems instead of showing the owner so much. We love the tank owners but it's more enjoyable to watch the fish/corals. Love the content, keep it up!

[@ParkersReef]

Noted! Thank you!

[@jimmyv9084]

Great tanks.. May I ask where you got your salt water storage containers from

[@ParkersReef]

Rob will respond, but there is a plastics place in Melbourne that sells them. I will say they are not cheap though..

[@robertverzin1235]

Hi. I got them through Melro in Melbourne. The opaque colour was a special order. And they deliver too

[@Mark-hb2zy]

I'd get some macro algae in that fish only :) would look much nicer than all the brown and green crud grows with no snails to cuc to eat it

[@ParkersReef]

Yes it’s in there now (although in the sump, not the display like you’re suggesting). The tank was just going through its ugly phase so will look much cleaner soon

[@Mark-hb2zy]

@@ParkersReef tank looks lovely anyway, just think macro algae massively neglected in the hobby, especially when you're not putting corals in a tank :) algae is always going to be a challenge when you've got fish like puffers so why not embrace it by growing nice looking algae's :) This is making me remember my dad's reef tank in the late 80s very early 90s (I was like 6 😆). Just nems, macro algae, gorgonians and all the crazy stuff that came in the live rock, still looked awesome without all the proper corals :) the tech is too boring for us modern reefers though 😁

[@ParkersReef]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@marinejosh1993]

How do you find the coral beauty and flame angel interact? Cheers

[@robertverzin1235]

Hi there. They are doing fine. In together for a few weeks. I think they know their place !!

[@ParkersReef]

Fingers crossed!!

[@SpartanRithimus]

Both tanks are absolutely amazing and home quite the powerhouse selection of fish and corals! During the part where wrasses were discussed, the species at 21:20 was highlighted but their name wasn't mentioned, you happen to catch the name of it?

[@robertverzin1235]

Possibly a chiseltooth wrasse

[@SpartanRithimus]

Looks to be correct, thank you!

[@ParkersReef]

Good work Rob!!

[@robertverzin1235]

@@ParkersReef haha. I had to ask Dave 🤣

[@ParkersReef]

hahaha nice one

[@BankersReef]

Coral selection, gear and especially the fish…. Wow, What a tank! That middle ledge could make for a great grafted Monti and highly recommend throwing a bit of GSP or some aggressive Zoa in that fish only to help with some Bio removal as well. It seems nutty, but as those fish get bigger and bigger that nutrient export is so nice to have and really helps the overall load, kinda fresh water mentality in a way. Well done Sam😎👍

[@ParkersReef]

Yeah grafted Monti would look a treat there
