Me too.

I don’t even have a salt water tank and I like these videos. I enjoy conversation between people who are passionate about what they do and know what they’re talking about.

52 weeks of reefing truly helped me get my reef tank where it is now beyond great full and my LFS who helped me and not just to sell me unnecessary stuff

Tidal Gardens is the only online place I order corals from!

Best advice I’ve heard and would give in a heart beat. Find 1 trust worthy source and follow. It’s okay to take bits and pieces to make things work for you but as a whole stay focused in one direction and see it through

Tidal Gardens posts hundreds if not thousands of videos of incredible and beautiful tanks. Posts one video about overcoming a problem and people ignore every other awesome display they’ve ever posted.

Thesetwo guys are my heros in the reef hobby. I am in the end of my first year of reefing. But have been in the fish keeping hobby for 10 years. These two guys plus the whole BRS channel made my reef start up a pleasant experience. Still had bumps in the road. But an over all success.

The first time I heard than say that he trusts someone who has had an issue and overcome it more than someone who has never had an issue was revolutionary to me. But in the way the hula hoop is revolutionary… Its so simple and obvious, I should have thought about that! 💚💚 enjoyed this talk tremendously.

Two Reefing jedi's dishing out knowledge, experience and wisdom.

We missed you at palooza New York this year both of you guys

One topic that requires a complete video is about tank upgrades. I have upgraded from 20gallons to 80 to 120 and now to 175. There aren't definitive videos on that process and I think lots of aquarium keepers go through it. Like depending on the upgrade should I do a full cycle on the new tank, how fast if I add rocks from the old one, etc

Excellent suggestion! Buy a bigger tank to begin with they said. I’ll never need a bigger tank I said. OMG was I wrong!

@@jamesbryan1285 haha yep that's how it goes I just pulled the trigger on a 200 and am saying the same right now 😂

32:00 - On the topic of scientists and what they can apply to the reef hobby: bear in mind that most doctorates only have expertise in a very narrow area of research. THAT's the reason why they are hesitant to share ideas about a certain aspect of the hobby. They know that they don't know.

My tank looks fairly bad right now, but I neglected it for a long time. My advice is solid, which is to not neglect your tank... That being said, it still looks decent because second solid advice that I'm still able to give is keep the tank up. My tank is at 2 years now and the funks are finally gone. The uglies are gone and I made almost no effort to rid them. The only thing I have been diligent with is coral quarantine and pest prevention and my tank just doesn't have some of the worst, common pests, i.e. bristle worms.

Awesome!!! these two gentlemen are pure coral and reef knowledge.

@tidalgardens I modeled my tank after Nathan’s. Hope u visit him again soon.

Cool conversation. Thanks!

Ive been doing this for like 20 years and i honestly would just recommend buying 2-3 of the newest books from the experts. Web forums are filled with people who are show offs, snobs, or just flat out dont know what their talking about.

Great duo!

I agree with both of you if you're a reefer then you have been through it or at least , some of us have gone through it all especially when you're doing this for over thirty years, and still get green hair algea and diatoms

Thành ơi, hay quá anh. Mỗi lần anh rất là giỏi 🫡

@ Overload, we used to tell “newbies” pick one book and follow it. After you’ve been successful, do another one. Just don’t mix your books! The internet is *only a mixed book.

Best advice- FORUMS BAD!

As i begginer who learned all from you, and as a freshwater fish keeper. I can see keeping a saltwater tank is easy, but put in bold Lazy Reefer, there is a lot of testing and calibration to keeping a reef

How about something like quora where a best answer is chosen and shown at the top?

@brstv why did you stop posting Podcasts? All of these conversations could be podcasts easily.

These discussions would be great if the guests were allowed to talk. Ryan, please!

The comparison between the knowledge the hobby has produced and what academics produce is a bit of an apples to oranges comparison. Sure, both are related to corals and reefs. But academic research is often hyper-myopic in topic and not tied to practical usefulness. In those terms it stands in stark contrast to the very generalized but almost entirely useful knowledge and tools the hobby has produced. If you're scientifically literate and fairly advanced in your understanding of biology and chemistry, the academic work can be useful to you as a reef keeper. Otherwise it's better to get that knowledge after it's filtered through the hobby.

Here's my tip for beginners. Use a refugium. Fill it with rocks and blast it with light. Grow your hair algae in the fuge and it will help loads from keeping it grow in your main tank. That's the only way I could keep it down.

@@jdamommio I've done that as well. It's like it doesn't outcompete the hair algae in my main tank. Why not just grow what wants to grow already and have it steal exactly what it needs to grow for the fuge?

You can tell by watching Than closely that this is the point in time when he realizes just how much of a reefing nut Ryan is.

as the sayi8ng goes a dog that barks a lot is afraid to get bitten....

It's best to listen to all sides I think.. Also don't just listen to someone "because they have suit and are at the front of the class".. Have you seen how many nutter teachers we have in universities now😂

Y’all are nurdy 😂

Casserole…..

Honestly hope I don’t see those crazy weird outlier cases 😂 I’ll be happier in my ignorance
