Hand's down one of the best on RUclips in the reefing world. Love the simple down to earth explanations in all the videos. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with the world. REST IN PEACE JAKE
I typed my first comment before finishing the video. I’d like to add that your tribute to Jake was touching. The reefing world lost a big figure when Jake left. Thanks for remembering him.
I was one of the first 20 members of Nano-Reef, owned a reef speciality store and maintenance company for 13 years. Not everyone can do this. It takes skill. Very well done! The frag development and growth is worth a small fortune!
Could watch your videos the whole day long.... The selection of corals, the vibrant colors and the power of the your flow: truly inspirational. Wish I had the chance to order some corals someday..... (I am from germany)
You have the most beautiful tanks ever. Such an inspiration I would love to have tanks that look that good. I've been struggling keeping sps alive for a few years now. I started the barebottom dry rock route and should have waited until coralline was growing all over the tank... now that it is I have no problems. Most people leave out the tank maturity aspect, especially to new hobbyists.
Jake is smiling down on you tonight for sure... Your message is his message ... If you can’t get inspired by this awesome video, take up pickle ball ...
I am only a year in but I feel like I have gained as much knowledge as possible from your channel and a few others. The professional diy aspect to your approach is what inspires me most. I ended up drilling my rocks and used plastic golf tees for the stems which has been working amazingly. I love the option of moving my sps to better spots and the ability to pick them up for inspection or dipping. Although I’m new my main display is 3 years old which allows me to have success with sps. Thank you for your contributions. You have a lifelong fan and follower.
Wow! Fantastic video. You make it seem so easy. I appreciate how you stress to keep it simple. The tribute to Jake Adams was beautiful. I would have loved listening to you and Jake on reef therapy.
Man you've got some serious skill, incredible tanks and colours from all of your corals once again. It's amazing how much flow some of your torches are able to withstand!
Amazing video as always and a lovely touch at the end ❤ you and Jake have been a massive inspiration and a wealth of knowledge to me and long may it continue. Merry Christmas all and here’s to many more videos next year
Abe, your videos are the gold standard of reef education. Great overview and an amazing way to organize these great looking acros. Time to open up a store! :)
I appreciate you for your simplicity and the way you present the hobby that you love, above selling corals, you are a simple hobbyist! Thank you for encouraging people to go halides. Every type of light will give it's results and play with it's physics' aspects and halides will give one of the most amazing results IMO! Distribution of the light will also depend on so many aspects like the fixture's size and design, distance from the tank and dimensions as we know. Halides are unique for their rich spectrum offering strong intensity in a safe way from ultra violet to infra red. And the glitter lines... crazy and beautiful! Every one loves it! That "crowd pleaser" tank is amazing! Halides rule! I noticed since the beginning your hat and loved to see your respect for Jake at the end. This life goes too fast! We have to enjoy every second we can. Thanks for the time you took to share such great images and knowledge to this new generation! I have some questions: 1) Do you regret having to share the mineral supplementation with coralline algae? 2) Did you notice also that bare bottom is avoiding STN or RTN? What other tips in that regard, as an update? 3) Any bacterial dosages? 4) What you are doing for water changes? 5) Still offering some aminos here and there? Gotta love ACROS! Thanks, Abe!
1) not really. more aggressive algaes can likely use them up to a greater extent 2) i haven't had a sand bed in 13 years so I haven't nothing to compare to 3) no 4) red sea coral pro but I am transitioning back to reef crystals currently 5) no, I don't think they make a big enough difference or any difference to counter the algae problems that come up when I do dose it
@@CoralEuphoria I agree to all. Love coralline cause they take the surfaces and prevent other ugly algae. I also use Reef Crystals. there are some precipitations, but generally good.Yup, aminos will give some help when lighting isn't enough or the system is new, but after a while it doesn't make too much of a difference. The algae problem happens only if the dosage is higher than it should be and is specially true to couple brands, I noticed. Thanks for answering. All the best!
So wonderful to have you back Abe and sharing your success with us, Great Christmas Gift!!! Stay honest and continue to share your knowledge with us. Happy Holidays!
Thank you for your inspirations tips as always. Beautiful homage for Jake. You two are truly my gurus in this hobby. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro. Marry Christmas.
Abe, I've been on RUclips since it's inception, didn't sign up for an account until later, but this is the best Acropora video on RUclips. Incredible, Incredible specimens and I'm at a loss for words except, Congratulations! I'm my 30 years of saltwater and Reefing, I would compare Reefing to life and college. It's very hard the first couple of years in college. Just getting used to the schedule and knowing if you truly want to be successful, then it's up to you to decide how hard you want to work and how steadfast you are. This video is proof, if you want it bad enough and you put in the early, and continuous effort, results will pay off. Time passes fast and 4, 6, 8, 10 years in college seems like a lifetime when you're young. Wasted years you think. Well think about the next 50 years, do you want to live a good life and be successful? Then those 4 to 10 years up front were WELL worth it. Same with Reefing, take it slow and steady, ignore distractions and impulses, don't panic, and perservere. 5 years down the road if you stick with it, you may be making this same type of video. Abe, you're an inspiration to all rookie to expert Reefers. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your time.
Well yeah every reef tank needs an ATO. I assumed that would be a no brainer. And BTW it is a gravity-fed $8 float valve. The rock rubble has only been in there 6 months and is insignificant since I have a lot of liverock in the tank and will likely be taken out since it's getting nasty. This video was not meant to be a detailed description of my systems. That video would have been at least 30 minutes long. I have to strike a balance between giving details and keeping an audience interested.
Another great video. I noticed the hat. Tasteful tribute to Jake. I always thought I’d meet him since I live 10 minutes away from the R/B studio. May he rest in pleace. ❤
Brilliant Abe, this is another video that inspired me and other people who is fascinated this beautiful underwater world, thanks for sharing your experience. Many thanks for remember Jake, your and his videos help see and learn lots of important information to help our animals grow nicely. Regards 👋
I love your videos of your acropora. I would to request you do a relaxation video of your acropora like 10 mins longwith soothing music. Like some other tank videos. I would like to enjoy your tank of acropora over and over again. Might get over 100k views
Absolutely stunning. I see your videos and tanks and they motivate me to dig a little deeper in my research and push me to do more with my tank. Thank you.
Hi I'm very found of ur explanation feel to listen 👂 all time so clear and understanding in a simplified way.. specially ur tone and rhythm thank you take care..
Beautiful tanks! Love how everything is vibrant and thriving! 😍😍😍 Been a fan of yours for years and live in San Diego as well. Would love to see your gems in person!
Thanks for sharing! Love the positive attitude about this hobby. This hobby incorporates so many disciplines and a thriving/happy tank makes it all worth it. Keep up the great work for the rest of us to aspire to have a tank like yours.
Hi... iam new in all this saltwater aquarium stuf, I will remember your advice about patience.👍 Beautiful tanks by the way...so envious 🙈 Marry Christmas from Denmark 🎄
Your corals are out of this world - and so are your videos. Please keep sharing, it really is such a pleasure to see whenever you release a new video or give a new interview. You are a library!! The flow is really strong but how do you find tune to get the perfect waves for all your tanks? Do they run like that all day? Do you use a wave box? And what so you use to set up a program for your pumps?

been reefing since 2008 and this is the BEST no fillers youtube channel
I was one of the first 20 members of Nano-Reef, owned a reef speciality store and maintenance company for 13 years.
Not everyone can do this. It takes skill. Very well done!
The frag development and growth is worth a small fortune!
+100 on the tribute to Jake, it’s hard to believe he’s not with us anymore.
What do you mean? Which Jake....sorry. New here
I love the shout out to Jake at the end! Classy, real classy!
Brilliant video Abe your corals are stunning, so healthy and vibrant due to your care. Lovely tribute to Jake too. Thanks Abe . 😍

SUBSCRIBED
@@fragboxcorals definately worth a sub, as is your channel :)
Great video, superb tanks, it was a pleasure to watch, thank you.
Wow, that's all I can say! Simply amazing tanks!
Stunning results Abe, thanks for the lessons.. and the tribute to Jake
The video is AMAZING. Thank you for sharing!
Abe love your videos. You should do a video on your DIY LEDs!
moving video. beautifully done. Really enjoyed every minute of it. -thank you
Nice Stuff^^Looks like all of the best ones~ Big Money~
Worth the wait 🔥🔥
Thanks for sharing! Love the positive attitude about this hobby. This hobby incorporates so many disciplines and a thriving/happy tank makes it all worth it. Keep up the great work for the rest of us to aspire to have a tank like yours.
You're a master of your crafts Abe! Do you have covers for your tanks or do the braces keep the fish away from the dry side?
I cover the tanks at night with a styrofoam insulation sheet to reduce humidity and insulate the tank when it's cold. During the day it's open.
Coolest Condo ever. I cant imagine the water changes though. :)
Beautiful video all around dude. Thanks for this 🙏
Best video by far! Excellent inspirational!😊❤
Another awesome video keep ‘em coming
Hi... iam new in all this saltwater aquarium stuf, I will remember your advice about patience.👍
Beautiful tanks by the way...so envious 🙈
Marry Christmas from Denmark 🎄
Love the tribute ❤great video btw
Your corals are out of this world - and so are your videos. Please keep sharing, it really is such a pleasure to see whenever you release a new video or give a new interview. You are a library!!
The flow is really strong but how do you find tune to get the perfect waves for all your tanks? Do they run like that all day? Do you use a wave box? And what so you use to set up a program for your pumps?
There are waveboxes in the big tanks that run 24/7 and create the wave.
Incredibly beautiful... 💯
