I am new to reefing and Dave has been nothing but helpful in answering my noob questions and share his wisdom and unique perspectives. I have been to pretty much every reef shops in metro Melbourne and you'd be surprised by the snobby attitude of some shop owners, which I have not come across before in the fresh-water side of the hobby. Dave is definitely up there at the top when it comes to customer service, not to mention quite a nice selection of corals and fishes! Highly recommend it!
he's a top bloke with no shortage of knowledge for sure! I was in exactly the same position as you ten years ago, trying on for size all the melbourne fish stores before finding DeerPark. Best choice I ever made :)
What a nice shop! If I lived in that part of the world, Quite a few things I wouldn't mind grabbing. Nice Tour! Shoutout to DeerPark for keeping such a nice healthy store!!!!!!!
completely jealous of the wrasse selection if we had anything near that kind of selection here in the states I would be broke from multiple wrasse tanks
I'd find a retailer who is an expert in them and can guide you through what you need, what would be good and what is not necessary. I'm no apex expert unfortunately, but there are plenty out there who are that can guide you :)
@@ParkersReef sorry thankyou for the reply got busy with the kids yesterday, one question is are the coralcare 2.4ghz same as most reef gear and are they bluetooth once on app please ?? I do have wifi but its abit unpredictable and i prefer bluetooth hence my first question, 2nd question, in Your opinion are they are solid sps led not including all the other lighting on your reef, i am not bothered about them being t5 like and no shimmer just good wrap around lighting not as much shading and enough par to keep them in a redsea 300xl :)
@@bopeep7806 the controller has bluetooth, wifi and usb connectivity. To be honest, once you've built a schedule (which is super easy to do) you don't change it and therefore never need to connect again anyway. I actually haven't tried the bluetooth so I couldn't say what it is like, but wifi and usb works fine. I believe the wifi is 2.4ghz only. They are a solid SPS led for sure, excellent spread - more than any other LED I've seen in person.
Looking at fish never gets old.
haha I know right?!
Great 👍 tour Sam, wow 😲 the store is sure packed out, don’t know how I missed this video 🤔
👍🏴
never mind mate, it is always here for you to watch later! Thanks for taking the time :)

Thanks mate!!
Great shop. I’m in the sth eastern suburbs. I gotta pop in there when I see close friends around the corner in Ardeer.
Please do!
Fantastic livestock at DP mate. Those Ozzie caught anthias are the brightest I’ve ever seen.
Oh they are amazing!!
Wow fish selection in Melbourne is amazing. Fish supplies in Sydney are very low across all stores!
Dave works hard to get availability of healthy fish and it shows
Love those tusk fish.
Such amazing colours!
Nice update.... Btw, What issue are you having in your dream tank Parki?
Details in a video soon :)
How much is the big purple tang?
Great vid 👍
I think they're at $300ea - but would need to check with the store to be sure :)

They’re gorgeous these wrasse!!
Those Picasso clowns are ridiculous!
Very nice pair!!
Awesome Vid as always !I am definitely Missing the regular trips to Deer Park. Did you end up doing a part 2 on the calc reactors ?
It’s still coming….. I promise!
It would be nice to see some hiding spaces for those fish, but regardless they look like healthy specimens.
Most of them were sold over the weekend to their forever homes, so they have plenty of hiding space there :)
Hi Sam, I have been looking to add more fish to my tank. How much does a male lyretail and a female lyre tail cost?
I think they’re about $50 and $35, but best check with the store to be sure
Hi there Sam. I’m looking in buying a apax system from neptune. Do you have any tips for me?

@@ParkersReef okay mate will do! Thank you for ur opinion
Was that a dark red/maroon elegance at the end?
Sure is!
@@ParkersReef we need a close up!! Never seen anything like it.
We’ve had a couple come in, I took one :)
@@ParkersReef sweet if you could post one on your channel that would be great. Or better, buy one so we can watch it grow 😂
I bought one, don't worry :D
Great livestock, when you get a few minutes need to pick your brain about the coral care gen 2 please :)
sure thing - fire away!
