Thanks, orange filters are easy to use but they blow out and oversaturate beyond any semblance of reality. It's a lot more work to get white balance CORRECT, and even harder under mostly blue light

A whole different level of tank and reef keeping. Specimens are all looking so healthy. Truly grateful for this type of coverage. You're always doing a stand-up job sharing valuable information. I for one am always very happy to hear the Scientific names of specimens. Designer names are fun but I much prefer knowing the Taxonomy... I hear you with that one Symphyllia specimen, buildings on fire I'm grabbing that one first lol. Such a bank of specimens. A true treasure they have built. Amazing seeing how clean everything was. Especially given the amount of water and tank space they manage. Thanks for taking the extra time and not passing over specimens quickly. Baller collection of Echinata... and everything else!

It's such an incredible set up. I'll watch coverage of their shop all day long. Just one of those banks is incredible. Based off the dimensions, that's a 750 gallon display with 6 hydroponic / containment tanks in-line. It reminds me a lot of the layout Reef Wholesale (Coral Lab) used when they did the Radion growth trials for EcoTech; especially the line of VorTech's down the side. The corals are of course the show stoppers, but I think I'm in love. The next time someone asks what my dream tank is, I'm just pointing to one of these banks. Not that I can justify that investment at a hobby level, but one can always dream. :)

40:59 Zoanthids are considered "corals" by many scientists, including some zoanthids' experts. I do too like to call zoanthids "colonial anemones", simply because we wouldn't call anemones corals, right? Truth is that with all the mess we have nowadays in terms of nicknames, it doesn't really matter what we call anything anymore. No one will be able to differ and draw a line for that matter. I've got tired of trying to teach people about zoas... so many newbies are called "experts" too. It's out of hands! LOL! Perfect lights for the season. Merry Christmas, Jake.

We love all you do for the hobby Jake. I personally don't agree with promoting anything from WWC or TSA. They both have nice farms but 90% of what they sell is not grown on the farm. Same corals any other shop gets shipped in on a regular basis. But with an unjustified markup. Taking nice pictures and having a man at the door to take your temperature before entering the store doesn't add value. Neither does big advertising expenses. Any shop that needs to markup saltwater flora and fauna over 200% over cost shouldnt be in the game.
