It has been a while since I’ve done a coral farm update, but here we go. We have a lot of on-going projects, one of which is re-working our aiptasia farm for breeding berghia nudibranchs.

One of the most important part of reef keeping… is nerding out on hardware! Thanks for the upload!
These Acrylics can turn into a nice Macroalgae tank for low flow pipefish/mandarins and Fatty LPS.
plus one for a goni show tank
Looks like you use all instant ocean reef crystals based on all those boxes 😅
Than mentioned a while back that they were having a problem with keeping the Aiptasia-eating nudis fed and I was thinking that you guys need to start farming Aiptasia to keep them nudis well fed and breeding.
@9:11 maybe for emergency carbon, ammonia or phosphate absorber?
Just FYI Than… I learned that in order for the Berghia to be really successful in doing their jobs, you need about an inch at least of sugar fine sand . Preferably Aragonite sand. They can hide on the underside of live rock but, they don’t fair nearly as well.
A Goniopora garden would be so cute.
I think my hair algae is gonna starve my apitasia 🤦🏻
Was wondering if there could be a new video for like spaghetti worms and there’s another past Digitate Hydroid how to bet them I think got overruned and there’s very little on how to get rid of them
I've heard that using reborn or crushed coral for an aiptasia farming setup works well, whenever you need some to feed the nudi's you just take out a few hunks of coral with aiptasia on it. I've always that growing nudi's would be a huge money maker….prove me right!
Heck yeah, when you started talking about changing the anemone display tank i immediately thought "goni tank!". And then you said it yourself! Id live to see that
I was gonna say anemone tanks for the acrylic tanks
Definitely do a Goni display tank. They’ve become one of my favorites as well
I setup a small tank for a single aiptasia. It died.
Can you turn the big tank into a Seadragon tank? I mean you really. want to spend $3500 for 1 right? or two or 3 or 4 LOL
Id like to see a video on all the sound treatments you've done to make the farm quieter.
Used to breed burghia love um
Than love you videos and spot lots keep them up!
What company or companies do you guys source your custom made tanks from? I really want to go the euro brace route for a private home aquarium.
Turn the acrylic tanks into macro algae tanks and plug them into the system. They will not have to be cleaned because the macro algae will take up all the phosphate and nitrate. The red macro algae would look great even across the store.
update on those orphek amazonas? a long term review would be great
I like the idea of a tank for sea fans, and along thise lines, have you considered growing and selling decorative sponges? I used to have some blue sponges that were one of my favorite things in my tank. Unfortunately, they got nuked when I used Vibrant to kill my Nuisance algae. They witherd away within 4 days of the 1st dose. I would love to aquire some more.
I've been noticing a lot of new reefers. I'd probably turn all those tanks to softies and anemone tanks.
Very nice video 😊
Always a pleasure to have a peek into your farm. Thank you very much sir 🙂
With all that space, you should try to make a radial flow settling tank before the filter socks. It's essentially a filter roller without the replaceable media. Bonus points if you use a cone bottom tank connected to the sewer for easy purging.
Hello
I was wondering what kind of salt you guys use and where do you get it from?
Thank you
Have you ever thought about trying non photosynthetic corals like Dendros? Being a coral farmer you may have a better chance than most of us …… maybe one of those spare acrylic tanks could be a project 🙂
How can u not like clown 😂 fish
Those acrylics seem like a perfect way to prototype that cascade aquarium you were thinking about 😉
I would love to see more Gorgonia or LPS being sold on your site.
Very interesting…awesome!
I can’t wait to pillage your rainbow micromussa!!!
Kuddos on all your success, my friend. You have a beautiful facility. Hope to be able to visit it one day.
where do you get those stands?
Extra tanks could be a predator fish tanks ❤showcase ❤
Aiptasia. Only thing I've managed to grow successfully
Wow, I had a really good comment didn’t I? ❤
