[@DamienFranks-yw7rl]

You got me and my 11-year-old son in the hobby a year ago and we wouldn’t change it for anything. Love every video you make March.

[@CarrolHaviland]

My daughter and I were brand new reefers living in Barrie when we started going to you when you were still in a basement! Then we followed you to your small place and now to your big store! You were always so kind and patient and friendly! We will be your customers forever!

[@codyweimer7602]

Please never stop making videos they literally make my day!!!

[@datboi7599]

The Fragoon is just such a great idea man… unique way to show off your expertise. Please keep us going as this is inspirational!

[@aaronfitz2892]

I'm loving the longer video format watched this one and the last while doing homework for college.

[@TrevorHiller]

That Marco flat shelf rock actually drills extremely nicely with a 1/4” masonry drill bit. I drilled 70 lbs of it for my next tank and I’m making coral mounts using Coral Euphorias acro mounting system with fiberglass driveway reflector rods.

[@DeltaKiloExotics]

What a dream job, would love to work at a reef shop, thanks for sharing the fun!

[@cannibalholiday]

I got into reefing the long way round. I started with a 55 gallon barrel aquaponic setup, using goldfish. It was overstocked, but the biofiltration took care of that. Unfortunately when I added ground cherry it grew so well it choked out the vines underneath and caused a loss of biofiltration and the goldfish started dying. So I tore everything up, only managed to save a couple of them, but I was attached to them and got them a 55 gallon tank and ran about 450 gallons of biofiltration to keep them happy. That turned into 5 tanks, then repurposed one of them as a small 10g coral tank, then a 40 gallon tank (which is when I started ordering stuff from Fragbox all the way to PEI) 😁

[@sergtv6907]

Inappropriate reefer and coralfish12g got me into the hobby initially in 2017, but you got back into it with Tias fluval 13.5 reef. Rocking with my IM15 for about a year now after I got back about two years ago with a 5 gallon Pico. Love the videos and the passion you have for the hobby

[@lukewoods9386]

While you didn't get me into the hobby, your videos and info are a large part of why I love this hobby. I'm in the US and plan to come to Canada soon to check out the store and meet y'all

[@skyfoxxx8970]

You got me back into the hobby and I got back in with your reef casa studio 24 full kit.

[@hannahespy6234]

Love watching your videos March! Thank you for keeping it real and showing this side of your business. As a hobbyist I have a greater appreciation for this.

[@jefflamon9293]

You guys got me into the hobby. I started with your 24 gallon studio it! The expertise of you and Tia and the help you guys provide makes it so much easier and more enjoyable. Thanks again!!

[@PeteThaCreep]

hi there, maybe you didnt spark my interest, but you played a huge part in getting me drawn in and hooked to a point where i had no way back, went out and got a 100gallon tank full running setup from someone leaving the hobby. love your way and allways look forward to your videos ;) thank you very much and keep up the great work

[@undergroundracing383]

I love FRAG BOX I been in the hobby in the 1990 and kept a 180 gallon reef tank for ten years. I lost the tank due to a power outage at home for 7 days and lost the entire tank. So I got out of the hobby. I started watching your channel and decided to get a 50 gallon corner tank and it’s so beautiful…. Watching telling the good with the bad means the world to me you taught me a lot. I was having a problem with the easiest corals Xenia it was growing out of control then shrank to almost losing it all… then I seen on your channel the all for reef trace element plus alk calcium magnesium once I added it in 1 day the Xenia already looked way better with in 3 days it grown back to 3 inches tall. Not only that everything in the tank just starting opening really nice. So know I’m fighting my ALK I can’t get it down. It’s at 14. I was using the wrong salt that mixed at 12ALK now using tropic marine it mixes at 7 but still having trouble keeping down. It’s my fault I just need to figure out on my part A & B additive I think I need to stop dosing part 1 and only dose part 2 but I don’t know if the PH will maintain at 8.2 without using both A & B????? If you can let me know ow I’d really LOVE to hear what you’d recommend? If you’d want to call I’d really be mind blown to be able to talk to you. If you’d would do this the best way to contact me is text me 1st that your gonna call then I’ll know your number and it’s you and I’d answer. My cell is 704-361-8661 My name is Mike…. Or you can contact me thru here???? Thanks for all you do!!! You’re the BEST… you need to move to the US I’d buy from you only… great job MARCH 1:21 Why can’t you put a picture of my tank? Am I missing something?

[@MrGarciaJr]

Keep it up March! Found your channel during covid and have learned and had so much much fun following along.

[@KevinSmith-xt7gt]

Son of a B with a itch that was a good video 😂🙏. I enjoy the style of videos you put out. The fact that you don’t waste time editing and do it all with the stop and start record button is amazing. As a electrician I can tell you that contacting ESA(Electrical Safety Authority) even though it might cost you a little money they can help you meet the electrical code in Ontario. If it meets the code in Ontario you should be good anywhere else in the world. To protect you and your company look into this. It must have some sort of Canadian recognition to be legally sold. It would be the same as ordering a electrical device from the USA. If there is ever a fire and the cause was the unauthorized piece of equipment that gets the blame. They can and will tell you that it was not CSA approved and your insurance WILL NOT cover you. That will be the loophole that haunts you forever. Again thanks for the great content 🙏👍👍

[@diesel1872008]

You got me interested in open brain corals (trachys). The first time I saw one was on your channel and now i have 4!!!

[@shanemaloney7519]

Great video March! Sure would be cool if you had a fragbox shop in orange county cali, all the lfs are lame here

[@Brabostaan]

Look at that sps tank, love it. Any videos?

[@BL_Denni]

March I made some removable frag plugs that connect with loc line. They can be printed in and color and have a small base

[@BlackGoldReefing]

Oh my, I need to know your vendor. All those frags are colonies these days. Awesome video. Too bad I live in Texas or I would come up and visit the store.

[@daletippett]

You need to drill the holes with diamond hole saw

[@wizav3082]

You got me into the hobby started off with a 40 cube, but just bought a new 50 lagoon with sump. Can't wait to start adding corals to it. Sucks that your in canada man. Come to the US!

[@ambervanderweyde764]

Hey March , hope everyone is having a great day

[@quekua2033]

Glue little pvc pipes for little frag holds, show be hiddent by the colony. You can even put some glue on the sides, then put sand over the pipe to make it look more natural.

[@Jen_RS]

I can't quite put my finger on it, but for some reason, I have the ol Pizza Pizza jingle stuck in my head. 😂 And it's been years since I lived in the GTA. Always fun to listen to you ramble, and seeing new corals.

[@fragboxcorals]

Someone got ir !

[@Jodoropanzer]

I have a 25g mixed reef and just started a fish only 50g on a BOYU EA100 , what corals do well on a very low light tank?

[@dedicatedreefer9966]

I gotta question. Do you have any experience with the jebao gyre pumps. If so do you have any recommendation. Yay or nay?

[@ahmedelzanfally9451]

Great video love from Egypt

[@MiXReef75]

Im about to move. So it will nice to design the system from the ground up. A water station will on the list

[@unwired]

in Freshwater Nano tanks are less than 10gallon Pico tanks are below 5 gallon

[@jjay88]

I for one, enjoy letting those "potty words" fly. Stay true my friend!

[@artistic_spaz3724]

I had always wanted to try a saltwater tank, started researching and decided to stay away as it seemed too complicated but then a couple years later covid hit ( I work in Healthcare and suddenly started working a LOT of overtime) so i found i had some extra money and came across your channel and you became my LFS and I ordered everything online and I have been struggling ever since lol. I am persistent but not successful

[@H2oNoxious]

What seems to be ur problem friend?

[@artistic_spaz3724]

@H2oNoxious oh......almost everything. My recent deaths are a green bubble tip anemone-I watched it slowly die and don't know what was wrong. I just added a new fish and haven't seen it since I let it out of the acclimation box a week ago so pretty sure he is a goner.....I just have no luck. The only things that have done well are an acan and pineapple tree-oh and now aiptasia.

[@H2oNoxious]

@@artistic_spaz3724 i’m no pro but if u need help i got you to the best of my knowledge!!!!!

[@H2oNoxious]

@@artistic_spaz3724 i swear I posted this long paragraph to help you but i don’t see it did it not go through?? 😭

[@adnailsupply]

What happens when you get doa from your supplier? Call it a loss?

[@Truskilzz710]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@robertopadillla8586]

Use plexiglass drill bits it does wonders Just best trick is to use water at the same time and drilling and I promise you it does wonders try it hopefully you see this comment

[@TheLiddojunior]

That anthelia coral is so good and nice tho

[@levi1803]

It was from your video's that I started back in the hobby, only have a 3.5 gallon pico tank at the moment but really want to win that 12 gallon tank as I need more room!! currently have zoa's, frogspawn, hammer and candy cane :)

[@olafstraatman1979]

[@BL_Denni]

[@RyanFelt]

[@garysteinert8040]

MACNA 2024 has been announced for Disney World Orlando. You going?

[@matthewbell9667]

I was always into having a fish tank for years and years and years once I start watching you now I am into saltwater fish tank got a 20 gallon fish tank at first it was rough everything was dying but now it's starting to come along

[@BL_Denni]

My wife was reading her book while I watched the video, we both looked at eachother the same time... Call pizza pizza hey hey hey

[@laughingbull9534]

You got me into salt. 32.5

[@pataclow]

By accident... i use epoxy paste to "glue/molded in" a frag plug on my rock scape... The plug didn't "glue" on the epoxy... so now i have an interchangeable spot... I can pull out/put in whatever frag plug I want... So maybe... Make a epoxy ball, put it in place, squeeze a plug in it...mold it... Remove the plug... wait...

[@billssaltwaterheaven]

Hey March, my son is in Toronto for business. Can he buy me coral and bring it back to the US?

[@aquaballs]

What's up people good day from CALIFORNIA

[@bril3682]

I e do me fresh for year but u got me into salt thank u

[@mikesbigtank6015]

Under 10g pico, 10g to 40 nano, 40g to 75 med, 75 to 180 large over 180 your rich and I hate you!!! lol!!

[@MrGarciaJr]

Pretty sure I spent more on my 20 gallon then some have on their 180. Just do it your way

[@paulsq_]

@@MrGarciaJr IDK about you spending more on your 20gal then I spent on my 180gal. I was just mentioning to Tia on Saturday while I was shopping for a few frags and filters for my RO, that I could’ve put a in ground pool in my backyard for what I’ve got invested in my tank already lol but you’re right just make it your own and have fun while doing it.

[@justindonflorendo7478]

Ahahaha!

[@bluerider0988]

The Corals you get are amazing. That wall hammer looked awesome. You get some great pieces. Why can you import Corals but not send them to the US. The laws don't make any sense.

[@austinalexander6240]

What’s up

[@jorgeibarrapacheco2421]

are you ever willing to share your who your trans shippers are from Indonesia?

[@mikeneumann4660]

Your help or need some sort of hair management device on via a hat via hairnet. Keep all the hair and shit out of your tanks.
