Top 8 Intermediate Corals

[@86hillerd]

I could not have come up with a better list. Literally my list of corals I got at the 1 year mark of my tank. Except of course the scoly. Just got my first one this week! It was my 2 year tank present!

[@MrMastavida]

Been waiting for this episode! Great job again.

Absolutely love your content. Keep them coming my friend. Hope to see top 8 advanced corals...how the hell do you get Acropora tenius to grow 🤣😂.

@reef Dork, I don't know if you still read these comments after two months, but you often mentioned the corals and fish are not bread but taken from the see. How is that done sustainable, knowing that coral reefs are often in the news due to preservation concerns. Don't get me wrong, I love the videos, and maybe even want to start myself.

[@ReefDork]

I read comments even after years! The impact is miniscule compared to the food industry and plenty of the fish we buy (and things like clams) end up eaten. But there are more and more fish being captive bred these days so hopefully there will come a time when the hobby is self sufficient...

Great vids mate, love them and I can't wait until you upload on Fridays!! Keep it up

I'm a beginner and I have a Duncan, Hammer and Frogspawn... oops! Should have watched this one first! They all seem happy so far but it is early days.

[@leem7924]

Nice video 👍

[@apss5736]

have you ever tried making a rockpool aquarium with native fish and inverts and lots of rocks and anemones.

[@ReefDork]

No I haven't - doesn't really appeal to me. My neighbour did once but couldn't keep stuff alive long 😕

@@ReefDork i might try one next year when on holiday with some prawns and blennies.

[@johnharrisphotos]

Interesting comment on the fact that scolys don't do well over 25 degrees. I typically set my my heater controller at 25.5 as I though the sweet spot for most reef tanks was 25/26 degrees. Is this too high?

[@ReefDork]

Don't know for sure but from what I understand they live in cooler waters in the wild...

[@johnharrisphotos]

@@ReefDork OK thanks. So 25/26 degrees is OK for a general reef tank?

[@ReefDork]

@@johnharrisphotos perfect 👌

[@mac10beams52]

I like the Austin powers joke. Oh and can u just make a like 20 min video of your tank. It looks amazing btw

[@giaus_harty]

Man I have a degree in marine biology (well zoology and marine biology) and I'm a big noob

[@truereefkeeping6022]

I hate euphillia it’s literally the most touchiest coral I have ever tried to keep

[@jaredtandle2596]

Soo.. not for tap water with no skimmer and a canister filter?

[@theeastcoastreefer]

I've never seen polyp extension from my lepto! will have to watch closely. I also had my frogspawn sting and kill a head on my torch!

[@xj52sfishyworld86]

Hey mate great video. I have a Monti that is turning white. Should I move it to a lower light area?

[@ReefDork]

Yep, straight away!

[@tekkersreefer8055]

Tidy vid as all ways 👍

[@apss5736]

could you do a video on the coolest looking corals.

[@joshuaacrvedo390]

hey can anyone help recommend a light i want to start a reef tank for my family with a 36 gallon bow tank from top fin and if possible any other recommendations/ tips would be nice as well

[@rosstheboss385]

If it's in your budget consider getting an ai prime. If you need something more affordable a kessil tuna blue might suit your needs.

[@arobbo5921]

Love the videos, do you know if there are any websites like live aqauria that deliver to the uk

[@ReefDork]

There's a website called Masterfisch - i've never used them but I think that's what they do 👍

[@chrisfield3092]

Regular watcher of your videos, so I enjoy your advice. After watching one of your previous videos on favourite fish shops you have been to, I travelled to the aac in Harlow. Took little over an hour to get there but it was amazing, my wife even got involved with choosing some coral. Thanks for your videos, keep up the great content 👌🐠

[@ReefDork]

Fantastic place that 👍

[@DJDorrat]

Great video, as always, Mr Dork. Looks like you have a new camera too? the 4K video looks stunning.

[@ReefDork]

Thanks Doug. Recently made a small upgrade 🙂

I've been reefing for two years now and I still consider myself a beginner. I'm on my third tank and it finally didnt crash. Learned alot the hard way but I couldnt be more proud if where I've come from where I started. I owe most of that to your videos. I dont comment often but I watch you weekly and I usually defer to your videos when I have a problem and usually you've talked about it. Thank you I love your channel. P.s. you should make a vermetid snail vid. Only issue I have left

[@enzomontini758]

Can I ask how ur tanks crashed ?

[@icymcspicy547]

@@enzomontini758 tank one was an overstocked 10gal. I knew nothing about the hobby and algae overtook it. And the only survivor was a leather coral, chalice, and green pali. Was able to save my clownfish too. Then I had a 75 gallon tank that had insane amount of vermetid snails, aiptasia, bristle worms and I once again lost alot of coral and three of my fish. Currently I have a 35 gallon cube waterbox. I maintain a strict maintenance and testing schedule. I still have some aiptasia and some vermetids. But it's now under control and I've finally been able to combat a couple different algae outbreaks. Bubble, green hair, cyano, dinoflagellates. Tank looks great right now aside from a little cyano. Also that leather coral, chalice and green paly, and the clownfish have survived all of it. And currently they are my favorite members of the tank

Good information here, but the amount of off-hand male masculinity quips in this episode is too damn high.
