I actually got out of the house and visited fellow youtuber Graham Stephan at his home in Las Vegas. Many people don’t know, but Graham’s roots in the coral reef aquarium industry go way back and after a long hiatus he’s finally back in the hobby! Graham’s 310-gallon reef aquarium is coming together great and I look forward to seeing how it progresses from here. Special thanks to Graham for inviting me out and to Harkins Aquatics for taking me around town all weekend!

Thank you Graham for inviting me out to see your tank! It is looking great. I had a great time in Las Vegas (special thanks to Patreon member Harkins Aquatics for driving us around all weekend)!
Than such great videos, love the jacket and the bow-tie! Classy! Wish you wee in Canada.
two of my Fav's in one vid!
Wasn’t he running gen 5 lights?
To assess the reasonableness of the cost of livestock snd all else in the hobby, look at each one of the vendors snd the massive profits they are making, as well as the owners / founders of the businesses.
Love it when my hobbies cross streams
Graham multi kagillionaire, is gonna buy a kit for the lid haha, plz graham buy a custom lid for that beast
Such a great video – Than rocks esp when discussing aiptasia
Well done. I saw your setup video and was highly skeptical of how it'd turn out. Tank looks great and I think leaving the tank to it's own devices and keeping your hands out of it has allowed it to grow in very naturally. Very pleasing look, especially compared to most 18 m/o tanks!
Did you do his podcast or channel. I heard George coral fish 12g on it and it was really interesting
I love this guy so much more now i know he's a reef head!!
Love this guys attitude & personality 🙌🏻 how did he make his money?
Pour superglue over the babies of the Pocillopora cover the entire coral and smother it. That will get rid of the ridiculous amount of that species. And it’s irritating, spreading capabilities.🍾
Fingers crossed and touch wood – I have 2 years and no aiptasia
He clearly has the money to get toplids to build a custom cover
His calcium is being depleted because the sand. It is solidifying itself. That sand hasn't been moved in a long time u can tell by how dark it is on top. Settled sand tends to do that if it's like his is most likely Along the sides of the rock structures that's where it usually starts but I've found it in the mid sand area too.
He makes porn films 😅😅😅😅😅😅
I am old school and still like metal halides !
Alan's Aquarium in Venice, CA!
Those were the guys who had me hooked on saltwater reefing! 🙂
Sad news when they closed down 🙁
I would keep those Pandoras, just as a trophy 🙂
Really surprised to hear that dipping corals and quarantine of new fish is not de rigour. Why take that risk?
