This Guy Sells Corals Out Of His BASEMENT!!!

Vic visits Thirsty's Reef and is amazed by all of the beautiful acropora colonies and frags. The owner farms many of his corals inside of his basement where he is able to produce many frags for sale. Vic is so impressed by the variety of rare acroporas, he even decides to purchase some frags to bring back home. With consistency and hard work, John was able to turn his hobby into a business where he can offer healthy aquacultured frags to other reefers.

Thanks for stopping by Victor!

[@WorldWideCorals]

Thank you for letting us in!! Beautiful corals, we were super impressed!!

[@ninjaneat]

1927!! Man I actually stopped and went back because I thought I missed it ...ugh could have won lol

[@sosmra]

Thirsty reef is doing everything just by observation, great looking corals thank you for sharing.

[@thirstyjay305]

I definitely test my water also, but I also observe as data on a test doesn’t tell everything. I send in an ICP test every 2-4 weeks

[@metsdynastyx]

Thirsty! What a name!!

[@RogueAquariums]

John has some amazing looking corals very healthy and colorful. Great job. Thanks for the tour Vic..

[@WorldWideCorals]

I see the Casper!!!

[@sgbbco3981]

I love this content Vic! Please please keep it coming. Nothing is more exciting and inspiring than seeing other peoples setups and hearing their stories and paths through the hobby. John has some amazingly beautiful stuff. I am glad you ran into each other at ReefaPalooza.

[@WorldWideCorals]

We love experiencing and learning new things! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@janinesnyder8250]

I love black tangs too.

[@nim6us]

9:51 Usually WWC gives great advice, but I think maybe Vic was just a little over caffeinated. Saying good reefers don't test their water often? 🤯I understand being in tune with your tank and understanding that there are issues by spotting coral behavior, but that statement feels a little extreme. John was just saying he didn't test par, in fact 14:36 he goes into his history of monitoring PO4 and he knows all his water parameters off the top of his head.. now that's a good reefer. 🤓

[@pamlogan2376]

Love you guys!

[@rubenespinosa1685]

I was so pissed off was watching your video at work when I wasn’t supposed to had to forward through it best I can so my boss don’t see me in the phone missed Casper now I’m home get to watch it in peace without supervision 🤬😡I’ll get Casper on day 👍🏼

[@eddyortiz8110]

He has some beautiful corals 💜 I love his approach to Reefing. Oldschool. He goes by feel mainly and sight that's how I would do it in the 80s & 90s when I had my Saltwater Aquariums. Love that big tank . Vice can you make a video in the future about all the Corsls you've picked up from all these visits? If you could it would be really cool. Thsnk you another banger video bro. 🎉✌🐟🐟💙

[@WorldWideCorals]

Love the idea!! Thank you so much for watching!

[@reefer6972]

these videos are incredibly entertaining.... never stop! John says he doses only bacteria, I've been seeing more and more people have success with this... do you know what brand he's using?

[@pauli1291988]

In curious about the feeding bacteria what are you using ?

[@reeferkenneth8657]

"aminos, coral booster fuels bad bacteria".... definitely a good reffer 👍

[@BlackPedagogue]

Nice video…what does he do to maintain alk and calcium?

[@thirstyjay305]

I mainly do kalkwasser via a stirrer on my top off. I also run a calcium reactor but I’d say Kalk is 90% of it

[@BlackPedagogue]

Thank you for the reply. Amazing tanks man! I’m thinking of starting Kalk myself, as it seems to be the magic sauce.

My mentor passed away in 1995 and his wife gave me a pile of fish crap that I still pull out of. I was running 6 foot long VHOs up until LEDs became the norm. I still have some unused 6 foot VHO bulbs because he stockpiled actinic bulbs. He got it in his head actinic were going to be illegal for some reason and that they were the secret to growing coral. He was right about the actinic growing coral well. He had one of those homemade 500 gallon tanks made with livestock troths and a thick piece of glass silicone to the front. I still wish I had gotten that thing somehow. His tank in '95 rivaled anything today except we just didn't have colors like now. Bright brown SPS was the norm even with 600 watts of actinic.
