Tidal Gardens coral farm tour blows my mind away...

[@tidalgardens]

Thank you for coming to visit! It was a great time hanging out

[@lucidairity7927]

Thank you for the epic information and work do you bring so much confidence to beginners and old aquarist to get started again and for the first time @fragbox and @tidalgardens are some of my favorites every day I watch at least 2 videos each sometimes rerun it

[@fragboxcorals]

I am so honored to have had the chance to visit :D. Dream come true

[@OfficialBritta]

I could listen to Than talk about corals for DAYS.

[@fragboxcorals]

probably the best video ever shot on the channel, learned so much ! I can see myself going back and rewatching this one a couple times a year to see how its done.

[@bthefountain]

That’s awesome! Looking forward to watching it!

[@MrGarciaJr]

I hope it's a long one!

[@BL_Denni]

They are all good. someone mentioned Tia Tuesdays the other day. Sounded like a sweet dynamic. 😜

[@silverdawn2767]

I wanna say this first I'm not being mean but there fish look really bad that clown tang was infested with parasites or tumors they need to hire a fish expert to get in there and not only heal the fish they already have but to help them get more pest control species in there tanks no rudeness intended but saltwater fish aren't that difficult I literally just got into it 2 months ago and I've lost one fish and that was due to fighting dottyback vs cleaner wrasse the cleaner wrasse lost I've treated them successfully for everything already all of my saltwater inhabitants are Petco rescues 1 arugia butterfly fish 1 bicolor angle 1 dottyback 3 assorted damsel's 1 peppermint shrimp 9 red leg Cortez crabs 1 pincushion sea urchin 2 turbo snails and a weird shrimp crab spider thing I forgot the actual name of edit arrow crab

[@RedEyeReefer]

Asking Than, "Do you smoke weed?", is the realist shit I've ever heard. Love the video.

[@richardroy2430]

March is like a kid in a candy store so much fun, thanks for sharing

Can't wait 2 days for this guaranteed banger of a video

I was at his greenhouse years ago and he was a really nice guy. It's amazing to see how far he has come since then, it's been about 8 years since I was there and have been out of the hobby for about 7 years.

[@chrisbleurgh7425]

Thanks for taking the time to stitch this together and present it to us all. What a pad.

[@vongregor1]

I've watched so many of Than's videos but this is great. A totally different perspective. He's showing you guys things that he probably didn't think the average viewer would be interested in.

[@josephfries2344]

2 of my favorite channels for Reefing! Cheers

[@fragboxcorals]

hey thanks !

[@Sedona_FD3S]

Out of all the Coral farms, this is one of them!

[@ArrickthaRed]

I love the crossover videos. I love Tidal Gardens. Been following Than for years and watched the whole progression of the new building. I tease and call it the mother ship. It has everything except beds lol.

[@doghousereefer]

This is my Favorite video of Tidal Gardens! Great Video March And Than

[@ridetilltheend]

Ordered my first Corals from Tidal and they were amazing from quality of packaging/shipping to the health of the corals received! cant wait to order more!!

[@BlackPedagogue]

Wow, amazing video. I’ve seen a few videos that tour Tidal Gardens. This was the best! Great job March and Patrick!

[@areyouarobotz]

Great walkthrough! Thanks for sharing

[@comment.highlighted]

I’ve literally watched this video more than 5 times now 😆 There’s so much to learn 🙂

[@blakeschlup9215]

Really cool to see the place I've bought corals from through the eyes of the place I'm hopefully going to buy my next tank from! Thanks for another great video.

[@MiXReef75]

Love the content. And what a tour of tidal gardens thank u March for making this magic to the Reef Fam. ❤

[@nathancross540]

Another great video, and another great look at Tidal Gardens

[@MrGarciaJr]

My two favorites!. I'll have to watch it later though 😢😢

[@Mr.Loweryy]

Great video and a great for the hobby to see these awesome places 🎉

[@FrancisGarcia-y7n]

Love your channel great 👍 video probably your best video yet love Tidal Gardens great set up God blessed

[@sgbbco3981]

I love all your content but this was a home run! Beautiful coverage of what Than has built at Tidal Gardens. Such a magical experience and I hope we get to see more of you traveling around to check out amazing reefing operations. Though it will be hard to beat Tidal Gardens. It's on my bucket list to visit Than and see Tidal Gardens in person.

[@chrislovesky5402]

Tidal Gardens and Fragbox a collaboration made in heaven! Lol

[@jayg9209]

Epic episode indeed. 🙌 bet jake would loved to tour the place. Keep it up guy's. Ur content drives the industry with professional opinions and sheer hard work. 👌

[@MoeReefs]

Great tour. Appreciate the time you put into these videos.

[@jrink0]

Such an impressive facility.

[@JakeDogg-RIP]

Let’s gooooo! 👌🍻🥰 this is gonna be a great video! 😁

[@LunaReefs]

Than said “if you clog all 3 drains, you have been a clown for a very long time” 🤡😂😂😂 Great footage. Love the Nexus tank, I have 2 from there 💚🧡

[@ifly65]

Ok Than yes you are the King! Great video March....wor-chester sauce? Lol.

[@thomaspotter3947]

Loved the show

[@FishOutOfWaterToronto]

I am green with envy but WOW March!

[@chorebunny8080]

This is delightful and mind blowing at the same time! Inspiring to say the least. THANKS

[@ekorzen4676]

absolutely mindblowing facility! btw...you were asking him about his water parameters but only the P04 was in the video. Do you remember the rest?

[@inkywafflestobygizmo2942]

My two favorite’s together as one

[@rubenespinosa1685]

Than has the best facility ever thought out and constructed, I would say WWC will be in second place Than is a very oriented person top notch facility all the way, Great inspiration

amazing place, i wish i could hang out there a while

[@marcopalazzo9349]

Do you own a store anymore? Everytime fragbox video pops up you either on holiday looking at crazy good corals or in another shop looking at crazy good corals. Im not jealous at all! Ok Than is on a different level, the mans detail to attention is second to none.

[@fragboxcorals]

I think I do :S ! but also I try to live :D

[@janinesnyder8250]

@1:07 ya. He’s a perfect storm of things for it. I hope you do a series on this.

[@aljan1aljan2]

I have been watching Tidal G and your channel for a few years now, i had no idea Than was tall, let alone taller than March😮

[@fragboxcorals]

March is not very tall :D

[@i2eef]

I have been watching the legend Than at Tidal Gardens for years...and I learn something new every time!! I need those Maggie Muffler! I am also from Canada, let me know if I can get from you please. Also, seeing that Than is using algae scrubber and reactors in the old farm, why not using/making a huge refugium in the new building so you can lower from 0.1 to your ideal level of phosphate and be able to sell algae? I believe he said he wants it to be at 0.08. Why not the level we all trying to reach at 0.04. why 0.08?

[@MACNTOSFAM]

lol. march needs a large cherrywood table for a staff meeting of 3 people 😂

[@tomg8187]

i so see u thinking hmm if iwas to open a huge warehouse this is how i would do it .... great video great questions and tidal gardens is totally on the next level . i have not seen any detail like his in toronto ...

[@Omsk-Sea]

Отличная ферма, спасибо Вам 👍

[@FriendM2010]

March, you underestimate your camera skills. No diss to Patrick, but things got bit choppy when his brain pointed the camera one place and you were conversing on something different, I felt my gag reflex. 🤓😂. Your brain working the camera and conversation works much better. Than has created a unique top tier design and implementation with that facility… 👍

[@fragboxcorals]

lolol thanks !

[@Heavens-Humanaterian-Army]

I personally find fish easy and coral much harder...fish are super forgiving and some almost bulletproof..so if you can keep coral happy then fish should be an absolute breeze..I love this set up so neat clean organised...ergonomic and efficient...just how id want to set it up to...money very well spent sir...much respect.💙🐠🦈🐟🦀🐡🐙

Does Than know how to do things or what?! Attention is paid to every detail and each one is taken care of perfectly!

Elliot copper bands are like 650 now but they’re guaranteed quarantine and eating frozen

[@tidalgardens]

If I only needed one copperband for a home aquarium it would be something to consider but unfortunately I need dozens so I get to struggle with quarantine and food training.

[@usmc187]

🤯

[@Tomshifter002]

I have couple of questions and a suggestion: A) Are there poisonous corals? B) Can you evaporate the old water to recover the salt to re-use? C) How long can a coral live in a perfect enviroment Suggestion: People including me we want to have a salt acuarium but we dont know anithing about the equipment and building of a tank. I would suggest making a video showinh how to start teaching how set up a skimer and how to het the water into it and back up (pumps) heaters and so on

[@ChrisCho-ev6tz]

Hi, I can try to answer your questions! Other people are also free to correct me! A) I’m not sure about poisonous corals but some zoanthids and palythoas (not corals but closely related) contain a chemical compound called “palytoxin” that is extremely deadly. As cnidarians, most corals have nematocysts (stinging cells) that make them somewhat venomous (depending on the species). I’ve been stung by a large elegance coral which felt like a bee sting and caused my finger to swell for a couple of hours. B) You can evaporate old water to regenerate the salt crystals but there really isn’t a reason why you should do this. Unless you’re evaporating less than a gallon, it would be difficult to boil 5 or more gallons of water completely. Moreover, it would likely be even harmful to do so. Water changes are performed to remove organics from the tank and to replenish certain water parameters. Evaporating old tank water would just result in salt that has been stripped of essential elements and inundated with organics and is thus not recommended. C) We don’t actually know the answer to this question because the classification of “perfect environment” is largely subjective. However if we’re assuming that a coral receives proper light, flow, nutrition, space to grow, and excellent water chemistry, then they can theoretically live indefinitely. Many corals in the wild are recorded to be over 5,000 years old!

[@fragboxcorals]

A) yes some zoas B) no the salt remains only fresh water evaporates C) in theory for ever . we have videos on every topic you mentioned :D

[@janinesnyder8250]

[@quadlawnmowerman]

[@RyanFelt]

Their nutrients are so high because they use reef crystals
