Andrew's 1000-gallon Mixed Reef Aquarium in Las Vegas

[@SinCityCorals]

Great meeting y’all. Thanks for coming by!

[@tidalgardens]

It was very nice meeting you Andrew, thank you for showing us your reef!

[@GrnBltSniper]

you can see your passion of the tank here. love to see it

[@GrahamStephan]

Andrew is the best! Love his entire setup.

[@00ninja00]

Thanh is a G! He’s an expert and more knowledgeable than probably 99% of reefers, but he’s humble and don’t come off as a “know it all” and cocky. That’s why i like this dude and tidal gardens! Keep up the good work Thanh!

[@austinwaldrop3016]

one of his great qualities. Doesnt have the bad attitude of a know it all but just hearing him speak you would be sure that Than does know it all. Love in his videos though he is sure to specify when he isnt entirely sure about something our that he might be inferring something instead of stating it as fact.

[@TheCrazyEyes85]

I love that Than is ALWAYS dressed like a boss!

[@tidalgardens]

I was going to see a show later that evening at the Bellagio!

[@innerpeacefindings671]

But i love you

[@VegasReefer]

I got a fresh cut of that blue staghorn outta his tank last night 😉 super blessed to get corals from Andrew. You always know your getting something healthy.

[@hookedonareef1269]

Most of my corals come from Andrew's @ Sincity Corals, he showed me how to keep everything alive when I dove right in. Thanks brotha - Manny 👊🏼

[@SeekoGT]

Easily top 3 large reef tanks I've seen. Well done!

[@VegasReefer]

You should see it in person! It’s definitely a wow moment!

[@tonilynn1597]

I wish...if I ever came into alot of money I would have something like this and a maintenance team. Breathtaking aquarium right there

[@LeeGrill]

Wow! My tank is over two years and not even close to that amount of growth. Andrew seems like an all around great guy , I enjoyed listening about his setup. Impressive!

[@queencityreefs]

Another great episode! Really enjoyed this one. Great job!

[@the.humble.reefer7230]

One of my favorite interviews

[@tidalgardens]

Thank you! Glad you liked it

[@leeleecee4689]

Than always looking sharp! Very beautiful reef

[@tidalgardens]

Much appreciated

[@RogueAquariums]

Andrews set up looks very nice. Than. He has had some considerable growth in just two years. Thanks for the tour Than.

[@eddyortiz8110]

Excellent video what s nice guy and gorgeous Reef. I am a Chocolate Tang Fanatic and his is a beauty starting to show the yellow ribbon that will turn to lyretail and more. When used a Refugium it was when Eco Sytem first came out and I have to agree my tank was never more beautiful with the miracle mud and calerpa. Thanks ✌🐟💜

[@BlackGoldReefing]

Unbelievable tank for only 2 years. Looks amazing

[@AlxJrz401]

great review thank you for the upload!

[@christianharvey5803]

More tank tours more tank tours more tank tours!!!! Love the videos 😊

[@motorguyry]

Totally agree with his standpoint on refuge… seems the industry has gotten away from it but so many good looking tanks I’ve seen run them

[@ncoppens]

Awesome tank and an awesome conversation. The quarantine of fish is pretty rare here in Europe, I don't know any reefers who do. The fish in the fish stores are in tanks with corals most of the time. I dip my corals before putting them in, but that's it.

[@CescaTheDarkHorse]

Nice video Than 📹. Lovely looking reef, enjoying watching 👀. Also I have a similar reef with 6 Angels in it 😀 😊

[@honey-barrel6905]

Another great video. I love the deeper tanks.

[@bubblebaath7840]

My favourite part of the tank is the little green homie growing on top on his intake

[@IMPACTSHOOTING]

Stunning aquarium, just sent one up in my office! Thanks for the inspiration 😊

[@tidalgardens]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@siggyincr7447]

That's an insane amount of growth for 2 years.

[@ccasasolac]

🤯 good information.. gonna watch it again 😁

[@tidalgardens]

Glad it was helpful!

[@josephfriedrich9792]

I love the gyres. I put them under the egg ceate in my frag systems. Vertical flowing against the glass in the corners of my display

[@ArrickthaRed]

So glad you showcased Andrew's tank. I like seeing guys I already subscribe to get some shine. Great growth in this tank. If I had the house for it this is the exact size tank I would do. It would be peninsula style though. I think this is about the biggest you can go and take car of yourself and not have to physically get in the tank. Great video.

[@arvinsanolin3110]

DICTYOTA fellas lol!! I love all macroalgaes haha!!

[@frontbattles8090]

super interesting. thanks for the insight!

[@sunnygoold9449]

Great tank - hot

[@lorenzospina3174]

Incredible aquarium 😍 greetings from Italy .

[@tidalgardens]

Thanks for visiting

[@billssaltwaterheaven]

Great tank!

[@hurricaneaquatics]

Beautiful system. Really nice job. If I could offer you some advice if you can afford it right now. I would get rid of all those Icecap Gyres. I had some weird things going on in my tank and couldn't figure it out. I noticed one day that I forgot to turn my Icecap Gyre on after feeding. I turned it on and my mated Darwin Clownfish pair started convulsing violently. Turn it off, they were fine. Tried again, same thing. Took the gyre out, put it in a 5 gallon bucket and tested with a multimeter for leaking voltage. It was off the chart like you had a bare hot wire in the water. I contacted Coralvue and they sent me a new motor, basically a new pump. It did the exact same thing. You might not notice it in that large of a tank, but if you like Gyres, go with Red Sea or another top brand. Icecap stuff is garbage. I have an ATI Straton too and they are great lights. The success on this tank is from T5, not LED. Metal Halide is the best, T5 a close second and there will never be an LED to match them. They are no more expensive to run than LED and if you have a climate controlled home, you won't notice any extra heat. @15:55 watch the purple Tang swim by and look at his fins. That's not from fighting, that's voltage leaking. @18:45 the Gem Tang has no dorsal fin, same thing. Trash those Icecaps.

[@DibeezyTheGifted]

Some Florida live rock I got from a Craigslist purchase got me into reefing back in 2005. Pests aplenty lol

[@D__fox_89]

Great vid/tank!! 🏆🔥

[@EddieDubs]

Than, did you get that shirt at Dan Flash's? It's very complicated.

[@MACNTOSFAM]

lol. thanh barely had to say a word. this guy’s his own show

[@mr.h4714]

I didnt notice a fan of the sump, bit getting a lot of air flow across that sump may help with water cooling......maybe itbwas there and I didnt see it, even if ya have one on one side maybe add a 2nd or 3rd

[@AlsFishBarn]

Wow

[@GwonkReefkeeping]

Wow!! He put you to work!🤣👍🏾

[@tricktaylor1983]

I do a 25% water change every week so I don't have to even test my water. 75 gallon mixed reef. I have a skimmer, a refugium that i grow hair algae in amd keeps copepods alive dor my pipefish to eat, a bio pellet and a reactor a carbon reactor. Heavy in heavy out. I feed flake once and frozen a second time and blast my coral with reef roids daily. Ai primes. I could use more flow i think. Pumps are old

[@Tohei08]

he doesn't have any temperature control? No chiller/fans?

[@nigelcheung6929]

2 questions: -Does a No water change system not better and then dose everything? Doing water change on a 1000g is not cheap lol. -What does he keep in this 200g Refugium to control this huge bio load ?! He did not mention.

[@mradams5455]

What light is better Radion xr15 PRO vs Red Sea LED 90 ? I heard Red Sea has better shimmer

[@bruhman8005]

Giỏi lắm anh

[@NobleCaveman]

Wow honestly apart from how healthy and amazing the corals look, my favorite part is probably his super efficient and easy water change system.. how much would something like his system with everything in it cost?

[@tidalgardens]

It all depends on how creative you get with plumbing and the quality of plumbing parts and pump. Distance matters a lot too given the cost of pipe.

[@tonilynn1597]

​@@tidalgardens really good like yours how much

[@lite_maverick88]

Does anyone know where CJs aquariums went? I need to know

[@masradinchannel]

take a look under the sea, the original is on my channel. complete about underwater

[@matthewturbin969]

What happened to your gem tang? Sailfin bite it?

[@crystalrode4646]

Who built his tank?

[@drewtube2929]

I believe ATM.

[@SinCityCorals]

Tank came from East coast. I bought it used. Both the tank and sump were from my friend when he upgraded. My dad made the canopy and panels around the stand. It’s a steel stand.

[@mariogonzalez2999]

Great aquarium, still don’t believe this is 2year old frag but if the frag was 6inches I’m ok! 😂

[@tidalgardens]

Lots more growth than my tank that's for sure.

[@PaulMuadib11811]

@@tidalgardens ehhh when my tank was extremly mature and biodiverse things grew very well but now that i added on new glass and rock from other tanks being connected itll be a while... order in a bucket of mud and flotsam / jetsom ( jk just debris really ) and leave the bucket in ur sump with a little white lightv for a bit

[@borb2656]

Whats the coral or anemone under the elegance the clowns are in?

[@andrewsdrmike]

Nice system but those Temps would make me lose sleep😮

[@tidalgardens]

For sure. I like to stay under 78 now

[@alexpellman8637]

I strongly disagree with his opinion on qt. A fish can look healthy at the store when it’s in copper then explode with parasites once you bring it home. If you don’t wanna medicate that’s one thing. I feel like you should at least have a separate system so you can observe the new fish for a few weeks before adding to the display. Why risk the lives and money of all those fish just banking on luck?

[@thomaskong5]

Not to be a hater, but stating the total volume vs the display volume of 600 gallon is slightly misleading 😂😂😂

[@philcavallini9657]

Yeah than is a whole different person that's for sure, most of the KZbin aquarium guys both fresh and salt are completely useless and have no experience part their noses! This is coming from a guy that's been keeping fish since I was in 3 rd grade and now I'm 44 if that's tell u something 😆 Good job bud!

[@tomithy6047]

Lol no way this guy grew that from frags in 2 years. Nice tank but dude needs to work on either his honesty or perception of time lol
