MY FULL $50,000 REEF AQUARIUM TOUR!

[@stefamily]

Missed you guys! I'd like to bring back videos here from time to time, won't be anything fancy but if you'd like to be a part of the "behind the scenes" - feel free to subscribe.

[@fintan.]

are you considering using this channel for the mid week podcasts? so that it stops the impact on views to the main podcast channel. i think it would be a good addition and the channel name would be fitting to the content 😄

[@stefamily]

@@fintan. Probably not, but I'd love to post randomly here without worrying too much about the algorithm

[@fintan.]

@@stefamily that’s a fair point, i think updates to your alternative assets like cars and watches are some easy topics for video ideas on this channel too along general bts content

[@SmoothAsWhippedButter]

I shall henceforth smash thy Like button

[@compoundalchemistget1monan591]

An excellent addition to the main room of any home!

[@FishForThought]

that's a 5/5 tank

[@Join_Jamal]

Graham, from a longtime subscriber, this is the type of content we need on this channel. Simple content, one take, minimal editing/clickbait… upload when you want. Keep it up

[@stefamily]

Sure!

[@Countdracula6]

Agreed! I’ve fallen off from watching videos but definitely more interested in content like this.

[@Topaz_Estrella]

@@stefamily Yes, agreed. You don't need to give us crazy content but tours and understanding the cost of stuff is interesting. The other thing is you know a lot of interesting people, like all the Oppenheim folks, Mr. Beast, etc. We'd like to see what being a KZbinr on the networking side of things looks like too.

[@DJStroble]

Wow did not expect to see this drop 👀 I love the aquarium!!

Stefamily is making a comeback

[@InfinityAquariums]

Alex, we need a tank tour of your aquarium next!

[@tidalgardens]

Tank is looking great! Big time agree about deeper tanks being challenging to maintain.

[@brookssquared5433]

I wish I could hit the like button a million times. This was the content I have been waiting for since you moved to Las Vegas. The fish tank videos have been the cross over of two of my favorite things, personal finance and aquariums

[@CichlidBros]

Looks great man! Enjoyed the original setup with George. The tank is coming along nicely!

[@gregjackson5177]

So glad to see a tank update! Always look for it in the background of your videos, and have been able to see it progress, which is awesome! Love that you point out all of the corals first - a true reef tank enthusiast for sure - I think anyone with a reef tank is more excited about them than the fish (as cool as the fish are). I would love to continue seeing updates on the tank - especially as you put new SPS into it!

[@AdamUS123-j7q]

I love the gorgonians! The Invasive Palythoas make the tank looks more natural!

[@lchamp7946]

Gorgeous elegance coral! Real showstopper and beautiful centerpiece coral for the display. Consider getting rid of the anthelia before it spreads and takes over the tank. Very invasive and hard to keep from spreading because it will fragment into other areas/rocks of the tank once it runs out of space on the rock you attempt to sequester it to. A similar looking coral to replace it with is heterogeneous pulsing Xenia. Xenia can also be invasive but is much easier to control because it grows from a centralized stalk body and doesn’t generally fragment into the water column. Plus, it pulses in lower flow water conditions which is just flat out mesmerizing to observe.

[@InappropriateReefer]

Been waiting for this one! Beautiful system, I'm a huge fan of how a tall tank looks but I guess I wouldn't know the pain until I actually keep one long term. 😬 2 years into my tank, I'm now fighting those encrusting corals like encrusting Montis and Cloves that got onto the main rock structure... I enjoyed them as space filler while the more desirable corals grow in, but by then the encrusting corals gained a foothold and it is almost impossible to remove completely. I'd seriously try to stop those encrusting corals while they're still somewhat containable...! Beautiful tank, awesome fish choices, I'd love to see more!

[@juantaverasiv741]

Awesome to see my fave KZbinrs comment on each other's videos! Inappropriate Reefer, I admire your work very much and you've taught me a lot about reefing!

[@Wjwbros]

oh my god you're here hahaha! Guys you all have to check out inappropriate reefers channel!

[@ericedwards12]

Stefamily is back!

[@MrVikingsandra]

Wow I love that neon yellow coral! The colors are so stunning, I'd just stare at it all day

[@giron8405]

I was wondering why you didn’t put any substrate in to start the tank. I’m glad to see you added sand it looks great

[@HBReefBros]

As a reef keeper myself and someone into personal finance, I love seeing the tank updates from you! Keep it up Graham!

[@LiteralyRealRyanGosling]

I love this! people would be happy with any content no matter how odd or random the videos are. this is like the super fan channel.

[@stefamily]

ah thank you!

[@anderswhite]

wish you would post more on the after hours channel, honestly enjoys these more than the main channel tbh

[@vyvyanne]

I know little to nothing about fish and coral. But the concept of fragging is so interesting -- reminds me of propgating houseplants!

[@stefamily]

Very similar!

[@curt8806]

Alex is so lucky that he has a friend he can just go and say "Hey Graham, can I just snip an inch of this coral today for my tank?"

[@robbo1963]

It's about time! Beautiful tank Graham!

[@mariorosas7779]

I agree with wider instead of taller. What's the purpose of the blue light?

[@stefamily]

Helps coloration for corals!

[@thieflack7132]

Love how you are actually knowledgeable of the hobby !

[@misaelpina-torres588]

This is so cool! I just watched a video from like 11 months ago where George from Coralfish12g goes to your home and helps you add new fish and coral to your aquarium. What a treat that now I get to see how much growth it has gone through! Such a beautiful home and reef aquarium! Thanks for sharing. What happened to the original pair of clownfish you got oh and the regal angelfish?

[@ericschill842]

SO HYPED TO WATCH THIS!!!

[@stefamily]

Enjoy!

[@rushilk]

Nice tank, Graham! I had a 180g reef tank and I just broke it down a couple of months ago because it takes out a lot of my time to maintain it. However, I did enjoy my tank and met some nice people who were in the hobby as well! I also met TSA staff at their store (the same guys who set up your tank). Can’t wait to see your next aquarium video! 😁

[@ethanguerami1162]

Nice tank sir. I also like the look of the taller tank and I just deal with the issues it has with trying to move stuff around.

[@madmike18]

I miss this channel! Stefamily was my favorite channel of yours. Keep up the good work

[@B0H0]

I know nothing about fish or tanks, but I want more of this content.

[@Godisnotreal112]

i dont watch your stuff normally but i dig your tank alot and you've done a beautfiul job, absolutely lovely

[@thetipsycookery8268]

Stunning tank! That toad stool looks amazing!

[@BethanyFee]

When I saw this video I was like how is he going to talk about an aquarium for ten minutes. And then I watched the video and somehow he did it without making it boring. Good job. 😊😊😊

[@jackgreenstalk777]

love it! my roommate in college had a 60 gallon and 55 gallon salt water tanks. its quite a process, but very beautiful when everything is balanced properly and the fish and coral are happy. For anyone who doesnt know, the blue hepatus tang, if it has a closed circle on its back, like Dori from finding nemo is several hundred dollars for the 1 fish.. funny enough if it has an open circle they are much cheaper. very fast and strong fish, but it can be succeptible to ick. this definitely adds to the power bill. Ps Graham, if you shoot on phone (android has this maybe also on iphone) you can go to pro mode or some settings and change the Kelvin temperature to get color correct without a clip on lens to try and correct it. one thing you didn't cover was the lighting! thats a key part of the process. what brand, or more importantly, color temperature(s) is it putting off?

[@Oliver.aquatics]

I love how much the coral grew do you think you are going to frag any of the corral

[@theapchannel5875]

Great to see you back Graham!

[@monk9008]

Agreed

[@MarcioDonovan]

Exactly the content this channel should hold - simple, personal, underproduced. Feels like we’re a friend visiting your house and you’re showing us your tank. Keep it coming!

[@sonny-k8h]

Those clove polyps are invasive. A lot of people breakdown their tank because it takes over.

[@bryanotoole3038]

GRAHAM. MORE. VIDEOS. LIKE. THIS. Enough of the over produced content. It’s great and all, but this kind of lax content feels more relateable to me and shows you’re just an average guy with a camera showing something you’re passionate about. Love it!

[@krisg7404]

Loved this! It’s fun to see a video of you just showing us something you love and are passionate about with no pressure. ❤️

[@edwinaceronjr]

Wheres your regal angel fish?

[@wildondayz]

Awesome video haha, I actually like these "into the life" style videos as they're different to your usual content. At first I thought "oh man that's got to be a pain getting someone to regularly take care of the tank" then I remembered the podcast where you actually said how you used to work in a fish store etc. As a side note though, you said in this video "I actually need to trim this back at some point, and do x at some point".. I think you should've just made this a video of you actually doing maintenance on the tank. Not too late though, could still do another video of you actually trimming things down, explaining what you want where and the overall vision of the tank? ^^

[@chelsmeister]

ABSOLUTELY agree would love to see tank maintenance videos as I would love to have the same setup as him someday. And explain in depth how he set up his automatic water change thing1!!

[@BTC_Reef]

Thanks for this graham! Setting up my reef tank this week!

[@RenegadeLK]

It's always nice to see aquarium related videos!

[@matthewowen1360]

The clove polyps are killing those acans

[@stefamily]

So happy part of the reef is growing back!

[@roshill2010]

Graham I've been thinking about getting a tank for a while now. Finally have space for it in the new house. Your tank looks amazing. Had no clue corals would grow that fast. I will make a small salt water one for now. Couple of clowns and a firefish should be good. Do update whenever there's been any major changes or a yearly update. Really want to see how those corals fair too.

[@officialdadbrand]

What state do Crayons go to on vacation? Color-ado.

[@SanDiegoBoxes]

Cant believe you’re into reef tanks as well it’s so awesome, your tank is seriously thriving too so great job! Love the Gem tang😵‍💫😻

[@jcpatts]

Wow that elegance coral is amazing. One of my favorites! Love the update

[@matthewharper866]

Great video! It’s nice to just see you be you without being overly edited

[@unknownphysique9223]

What happened to the regal angel and longfin clowns?

[@leewishnov8137]

As a fellow reefer I am impressed to see someone successful like yourself who actually knows reefing versus paying someone to do it for them and just looks at the tank.

[@happychappy27]

What gives you that impression? How do you know he doesn’t pay someone to carry out maintenance? He gets to the acros and described one as a ‘long sticky one’ Yeah he definitely knows his reefing.

[@leewishnov8137]

@@happychappy27 can tell by how he talks about the equipment. I setup an apex for someone and they never learned how to use it. Always asking me to log into it and do stuff. That fact that he knows his equipment shows direct involvement.

[@josh0011-z4w]

@@happychappy27 his target audience dont know shit about reeding so he likely had to dumb it down...

[@abcha0s]

I love this because now I know there is something that I have and that I built that far exceeds what you have. $50K on a Reef Tank buys you a nice starter kit. 😂 Let us all know when the hobby really grabs you. Full props though... Yours is a kick ass build for sure and few would really appreciate the detail that went into it. It's beautiful and in a couple of years it will be stunning. Stay with it. It takes solid dedication to master. When you want to see a $100K+ system, come visit. I'm sure it will be a great conversation and we will both come away having learned something. I'm impressed, but the rabbit hole goes much deeper than this.

[@justicedenzler2965]

Absolutely love this! I find it cool that he is into coral and saltwater fish this stuff ain’t cheap either!

[@jakemcdermott1901]

Love this kind of content keep up the good work. You would be surprised how many investors also have saltwater fish tanks and if they don’t have saltwater fish tanks they still appreciate the hard work it takes to keep a peace of the ocean in a glass box! Please don’t let this be the last tank video!

[@darwinngo]

Absolutely loved this video! It's so great to hear you speak so passionately about the reefing hobby. You should try to make your way to a Reefapalooza or another show one of these years. It's so much fun to be in one giant convention just for reefing.

[@Cloudyconfusion]

This is AWESOME! I loved seeing this video on my recommended. My late night guilty pleasure is watching koi pond and fish tank videos so I loved seeing that this is a hobby of yours. Haven’t watched your vids in a while and I liked seeing that other people have similar interests to this! Your tank is so cool and I loved learning about your journey and plans with it😊👍🏼

[@magnificentfoxface5982]

Lovely anthias! They look so healthy!

[@intergalactic_passenger]

Love your tank bro

Fun start to your reefkeepimg adventure. As your knowledge grows you will dial it in. Patience is the key in reef tanks, much as it is in life. Well done

Graham sir, excuse me.. but did you drink home ice coffees for years to blow 50 G's on a fish tank?

[@stefamily]

Indeed

[@ppsthlm]

Great video Graham. Keep us posted on the future of this tank

[@Kyle-li8wi]

I find this interesting. Me personally, I am into palludariums, which are combination of water and land. Think streamside environment

[@jakesegoria8246]

What do you keep in your palludariums?

[@jamessiverson6994]

Nice tank Graham its great to finally find someone exists with similar hobbies and interests. One thought on the tank is a larger top off container in a external location like a basement. You might need a different ato system but its worth not having to carry the jugs. Been watching your video for a couple years now, thanks for being you and hopeing to buy my first piece of real estate soon.

[@handymenprotv5510]

I smashed the like button because this reef tank deserves it!

I LOVE your tank. I'm more into freshwater. You should do an awesome planted freshwater tank in another room. Show us a video of the maintence. That would be cool!

[@SimplyJade2024]

Do you ever sell frags? That sinularia is gorgeous.

[@Tristan_Nelson]

Thank you so much for this tank update..I love it what a great first impression…..You really need to add the sheriff, the black tang!!

Hi Graham just curious how much does it cost to main a fish tank of that size? I love to have a tank of that size but im not sure what are on going cost for it?

[@fuffoon]

When I use a filter on my evening blue it looks like a filter shot. Without the filter, its just blue, the blues are colorless, reds are brown, but greens, yellows and oranges glow like aliens. I have Orphek blue plus bars coming to supplement the giesemann hybrid. I'l excited to see what happens with newer LEDs.

Finally! An Aquarium tour, sickkkk!!!!

[@cadelestherion]

Beautiful tank! Those palythoa's are pretty but will always be a pain once they grow too much unfortunately... Especially since they'll release toxins if fragged imperfectly

[@Brennen_Nisporic]

You should try dosing acro power. The corals really love those aminos. Also curious why you use to test your water.

[@SimplyJade2024]

Man I love your content on real estate and anything else you post on your other channel. After seeing you're a fellow reefer, I will no longer watch anyone else lol. Been in the hobby for 11 years. Glad to see you enjoy it as mich as I do!

[@bahamareefer]

Any interest in adding an eel or another show piece fish? Maybe a shark egg like Paul Caffaro?

[@maketradinggreatagain2046]

I loved the video! Quick question, do you QT the fish, inverts and coral that go into your DT?

[@DannysCoralReef]

I have been waiting for you to make this video!!! Can you make a channel just about your Reef Tank? love the video :D
