Great stuff as always Steve , nice selection added to qt, you sod you got a Leonardi 😂😩😂 an LFS here has just got 3 in 650-700£ ouch , too close too Christmas for me to buy one but maybe in the new year . Merry Christmas to you & all the family mate ❤🥳🎄
This is cool I wish I was on that side of the world. I would get all of my fish, coral and do water changes right from the barrier reef every week. I would also obtain live rock from that tide as well. Love the videos keep em coming.
I absolutely love fire fish I've always have them in every aquarium I've had... I've had both the red and purple firefish... I've noticed that the chances of them jumping out in a glass aquarium is much higher since they get spooked really easily but they should be fine in your pond cause of the rock structures for them to hide in and since the water movement on the surface too they shouldn't get spooked... The down side is though that the firefish is lost beautiful when viewed from the side so you can see that long dorsal fin. Viewing from the top doesn't really do too much not to mention you won't be able to see them all that much cause they'll be under a rock ledge most of the time.
They are gorgeous fish. That is awesome to know 🤙🏽 and I hadn’t even thought about not seeing them as well from the top. Still thinking I would love to have a small school 3-5 of each. But I haven’t even looked to see if they are compatible together. Have you ever had both together? Cheers for watching 🤙🏽
@SaltWaterSteve1 oh yeah brother I've had them both together... I once had 3 reds and 2 purples and they got along fine... They do tend to school with their own kind though but they don't bother each other... I've found they love mysis shrimp over pellets so giving them a small treat of mysis once in a while might get them more comfortable in the pond to come out more too 🙂
Love it I have to feed the pond such a mixed variety of foods I’m hoping they will. You might have figured out what goes in next if I can’t find any Anthias or barrier reef chromis
@@SaltWaterSteve1 Noice!!! Yeah anthias are bangers for a reef too just remember to have 1 male with a squad of females... I always made that mistake in the past of going with multiple males cause they have the amazing colour and the school wouldn't last long... Love the content and will stay tuned for the next one 🍻🤘🏻
Awesome 🤙🏽 yeah if only it was the other way round and the females were the gorgeous ones 😉 would love a square block and 4 females and 5 of another species but can’t decide. Guess it depends what comes available first. Appreciate it Craig
great video Steve that pond is doing great u must be pleased ,,i was wondering .i do not know how far you are from reefs but do u have seasons where you see or find aquarium fish in those pools or somewhere close to where u live ... ? cheers :)
Cheers Steve 🤙🏽 I am quite far 15+ hour drive from where I was coral collecting But am 15-20 mins away from my tide pools and in Summer have had awesome luck finding smaller tropical fish. But nothing better than the Candy striped cardinal on camera yet. This Summer 🤞🏽
@@SaltWaterSteve1 wow that is a wayz to drive ..lucky here all at the door step sort of ,,well hope your tide pools provide this next season im hoping for something diff over here as well ....Merry xmas Steve :)
Cheers for letting me know mate. 🤙🏽 Hopefully he stays in his acro 🤞🏽 Id feel bad taking him out now. He has been in a few months. You think I should take him out?
It will stay in his “chosen” host colony , i appreciate you value its life , i recon you should catch him out and let him go back to the reef . The problem is when it gets bigger the damage it will cause to the coral will be significant

@ is that Aussie rock you have in your tanks?
Yeah mate the majority of it is all from WA reefs
Good catch
🤙🏽
Pistol shrimp & goby are nice addition to your pond
I did add 6 small orange spot sand sifters.
A few pistol shrimp is a great idea.
Maybe I’ll collect a few on NEXT YEARS coral expedition 🤙🏽

Yo steve, I would put a thick pond liner around your pond as some redundancy. Not sure how you would do that while it's running though
The bottom is thick with pond liner. And nothing is touching the sides yet 🤙🏽 should be ok I hope 🤞🏽
Hey are these tide pools at the ocean reef marina?
No the back of Mindarie marina 🤙🏽
Yea thanks!
What area do you normally go to for your tide pools?
Mindarie-Quinns usually
I’m gona check out Burns Beach this weekend I think
1:12 hope you are aware that is hairy crab, eats sps polyps
Cheers for letting me know mate. 🤙🏽 Hopefully he stays in his acro 🤞🏽 Id feel bad taking him out now. He has been in a few months. You think I should take him out?
It will stay in his “chosen” host colony , i appreciate you value its life , i recon you should catch him out and let him go back to the reef . The problem is when it gets bigger the damage it will cause to the coral will be significant
I’ll get him out over the weekend 🤙🏽 appreciate the advice
absolutely love the channel mate !
Appreciate it mate 🤙🏽
Goby
Gday mate 🤙🏽
3 grand for a desh, the hobby now is cooked
That’s $300 mate
@ I just had another look on the glass Steve and zoomed in, there 3k.
They are nice desh’s though👍
Wow 🤯 and here’s me wasn’t keen on paying $300 as nice as they were. The hobby has gone crazy man.
