TSA's Top Ten High End SPS!

[@KlemmetsmoReefing]

The problem is that everyone is doing exactly what tsa does: buy it, name it, sell it. This leads to a single species of coral having multiple names and multiple prices.

[@CoralReefkid]

Like Acid Rainbow millepora

[@Chris58369]

Exactly!!! Such a shame & the prices are stupid crazy!!! the good thing is as many people buys it and frags it the prices will eventually come down but it takes time 😩

[@jacobside2656]

Just give it a silly cartoon name and charge 1000% more

[@andrewlindell8626]

That's why I don't really even buy that much Coral from stores anymore. They are way too expensive and usually buying from a hobbyist is better. You can bargain and pretty much guarantee the stuff is good since they have been growing it in a tank themselves rather than a store that just got a shipment of corals taken from the wild

[@andrewlindell8626]

I just bought like $500 of stuff from a guy that broke his tank down and I probably would have paid easily a thousand or more from a store

[@johne9427]

Would love to see more high end stick videos. These are my favorite!

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Noted! Will try and see to making more of this content! -Blaine

[@Pontiuspilate666]

Forbidden fruit and walt disney are my favorite! Yall got some good stuff

[@TopShelfAquatics]

The Forbidden Fruit is STUNNING in person! We take pride in our aquacultured pieces! Thanks for the comment! -Blaine

[@Ryan-ts8pc]

Very cool video, I love highend SPS and you guys have some of the best! I just wish you didn’t limit the top 10 to just what’s available now. Would have been cool to see some of your colonies in growout, like rru angry birds, etc.

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Will for sure keep that in my mind for future SPS content! Thanks for checking out the video and dropping a comment! -Blaine

[@rowgegaming5048]

I'm thinking about stocking a 200 gallon peninsula with only a handful of high flow / high light SPS corals so they can get HUGE. I'm spoiled for choice, I want to keep it to single digits of SPS species.

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Love this concept! Once they grow in over some time having a select few colonies in a system would look spectacular! Thanks for checking out the video! -Blaine

[@gennadiyvidvichuk6416]

Very nice coral

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Insanely nice stuff! All aquacultured in house too! -Blaine

[@TheTrevor40]

I do love TSA Fruity Pebbles. I have it at the bottom of a 130 gallon under XR30 blue and the color is great but has grown slow. Might be the small frag that I started with.

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Would love to see how yours is looking sometime Trevor! Thanks for tuning in to this episode, I am a big fan myself of the TSA Fruity Pebbles. -Blaine

[@georgeschannel6168]

Nice video

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Thanks for dropping a comment George! Lots of amazing SPS here at TSA no doubt! -Blaine

[@jbrowning3493]

Maybe it’s included in a previous episode, but what are the lights that you’re using in your tanks ?

[@TopShelfAquatics]

We used a wide rang of lighting for all kinds of applications, but the main light source in the farm are the Radions by Ecotech! We will for sure be diving deeper into this subject soon. -Blaine

[@jbrowning3493]

Thanks Blaine, your videos are so helpful; and they inspire me to keep improving in my coral care ! Thanks again

[@andrewlindell8626]

That mind melt monti is insane. I like the red digi too

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Mind Melt is NUTS! -Blaine

[@lvlichaelly]

Which one glows brighter? TSA bubble yum or rocky balboa?

[@TopShelfAquatics]

I’d say the Bubbleyum! Both are unbelievable pieces though, ones I’d love to have in my reef down the line! -Blaine

[@Jommybutler1234]

What was it called when you imported it from ACI Aquaculture ? Shouldn’t the originator/discoverer do the naming ?

[@SahinurUK]

Nice episode.

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Was great to get out the high end episode! Thanks for the comment! -Blaine

[@DGGuaglianone]

I got a TSA fruity pebbles from another coral vendor and it seems to have a pest bright orange amphipod living on it and some STN. Any advice wouldn’t its identification and treatment. I haven’t dipped it yet, I was thinking a two minute bath in iodine or hydrogen peroxide mixed with seawater?

[@elle940]

blaine i’m your biggest fan

[@kardenull]

Jessie we need to grow corals 1:50

[@TopShelfAquatics]

The TSA Heisenberg you time noted is so slick! Really excited about getting this onto the site for everyone to purchase! -Blaine

[@Botzz28]

Corals are gorgeous… too bad it’s like 3k for a 1 inch frag.

[@TopShelfAquatics]

None of these are at that high of a price! Some are actually a couple hundred dollars, remember this is the high end list! Thanks for tuning in, and the corals all are really stunning! -Blaine

[@queencityreefs]

Send me one of each! 😁😉

[@TopShelfAquatics]

I like the way you think! -Blaine

[@Ej-vd1lp]

Anyone can come with a list of the price of each of these corals?

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Shoot us a message on social media or email and we can get you sorted out! Just say I sent you from the video and we will get you situated! -Blaine

[@kursatesen3479]

At what setting do they run the radios, what is the percentage of white people and what is the program density?

[@JP-dz7zu]

Here for the bright orange Donald Trump 2024 millepora

[@cy9105]

Why do so many of these have such odd, nonsensical names.

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Curious.. what would have you named them?… Just if they’re nonsensical I’m curious. -Blaine

[@Jommybutler1234]

Weed. Lots and lots of weed smoked in the supply side

[@andrewlindell8626]

No offense but id rather just buy coral from tank breakdowns. Wayyyyy cheaper, its been living in someones tank for awhile so you know it can survive in captivity. Also probably free of pests since it has been growing so its got s higher chance of survival. No need to get ripped off paying for some acro that has some catchy name that might change colors on you or die

[@TopShelfAquatics]

I think you're misunderstanding that all of these in our list are aquacultured in house, and are some of the strongest strains of stony corals out there. Top Shelf is actually one of the driving forces behind brining in corals and ensuring we have species and strains that have been in the hobby for extended periods. Appreciate your comment, but it is off if you are referring to us here and what we provide the hobby! Feel free to come down sometime I will personally walk you through the farm and show ya! -Blaine

[@Jim-c2j8o]

Lol noob

[@andrewlindell8626]

@@TopShelfAquatics oh I know you guys have really good stuff but are also super expensive. There are literally small frags selling for hundreds of dollars and up into the thousands range on your site. Unless you got polo reef money no one can really afford them.

[@zachary_smith1]

Tell me your poor without telling me

[@andrewlindell8626]

@zachary_smith1 not poor lol I've got 15k plus Into my tank. You don't have to be poor to not overpay for things. I get it they have a business and need to make a profit and have a lot of overhead. I'm staying a fact.... You can get nice corals for cheap from basement vendors
