When is it to much? Acropora Dominated Reef Tank!!

Follow along as Victor visits Greg Carroll's "tour de force" 250 gallon reef tank. Greg is an long time aquarium hobbyist (over 20 years) and presiding president of one of the largest reef clubs in America-Southern California Marine Aquarium Society(SCMAS). He is also one of the founders and the voice of Reefapalooza. Greg is a very accomplished reef keeper who won tank of the month honors on Reef Central back in the days. He is a truly acro crazy, and his newest reef tank creation is a true testament to that.

I met Greg back in the early 2000's frag swap days. He's absolutely the nicest guy around and his tanks are incredible!

[@gcarroll1969]

@GrahamStephan Holy cow Graham! Thanks for that. So proud of the man you have become!

[@BlueCarbonReefing]

I've had the pleasure of meeting Greg at a reefapoolza.. world class man.. you can really hear the passion he has for the hobby

[@WorldWideCorals]

Awesome! And you are 100% right about the passion he has

Beautiful Reef. I love Chocolate Tangs they're so cool the way they go thru the transformation. I had 3 Purple,3 Yellows ,& 3 Chocolate tangs when I had my Reef Tank. It was so cool to watch them together. Heavy light and flow in his tank looks amazing. 💜🐟💜✌

Will do! The tank is less work than it seems. I try to be as hands off as possible.

[@brendanbell7908]

Does feeding the yeast actually work? Seems like a great idea and I have never heard of anyone feeding it before.

[@gcarroll1969]

Give it a try, it is a common ingredient to a lot of fish food. Also it’s really good to entice new additions to the tank to start feeding!

[@6jdhd]

Yest is a form of carbon dosing. R2R has an old post on how much to dose

@@gcarroll1969 I agree, very much a “hidden gem.” I’d love to see them branch into some other aquarium accessories. Roller mat, Kalk stirrer, calcium reactor, etc. the build quality is 👌🏻

[@gcarroll1969]

@@TrevorHiller they actually make calcium reactors, algae filters, zeolite reactors and fluidized media reactors. Their fluidized media reactors are what inspired the design of the Nyos reactors where the chamber separates from the base.

Might I suggest a new video series? Go visit small brand new reefers tanks and offer guidance on what they may be doing right or wrong. Seeing perfect tanks that know exactly what they're doing is great but might offer more insight if us inexperienced reefers can see similar issues and hear from the pro's on what we could do better.
