"You are not reef keeping, you are keeping water. Keep the water correct and the rest will follow." - some of the best and most insightful advice I've ever heard.
what a fantastic tank and wealth of knowledge you have sir. thank you for sharing. i did alot of diving as a child's in Turkey and looking at my marine tank just takes me to my childhood and it's like detaching from land
You have the most beautiful tank in the world in my humble opinion. I've watched you videos so many times! I enjoy them so much!! I am looking forward to an update!!
I've had so many tanks, big amazon cichlids up to a 1000ltr reef system yet have always dreamed of David's setup and from reading about it in many times in practical fishkeeping magazine and seeing the d & d site. Maybe it's now time in my life to go for it. Your system has yet again inspired may just now go for my dream and I thank you.
Amazing fish tank and an amazing setup. You have really worked hard towards this setup with great passion and commitment. iv always dreamt of keeping marine fishes, only have experience with freshwater. However one day I will make my dream come true. Keep up the good work. All the best.
The problem with reefing is that you really need a large tank to replicate anything similar to what you see in the ocean; with smaller aquaria you never really get that breathtaking image that you see here. And to do this you need a lot of money.
Very kind of you to show us the end goal. This is quite something and if I remember from previous videos looks better with the leds. I wonder whether you might share some of the secrets to help us get near this result. Such as nutrient levels nitrate and phosphate etc. Whether these levels are constant and what methods are used in their reduction? Similar to tank of the month write up. Many thanks
What really inspired me to start the Reeve hobby 10 years ago I went into a reef aquarium store I seen the most beautiful face I’ve ever seen I knew I had to have him by 15 is that he was sick and I wanted to get in the hobby to say is that fish I was thought that if I give him a good home I can’t keep him well and revive him and to have him to thrive in the tank 10 years later I have corals and other fish that I am quite attached to but to finish the story when I went back to the Aquarium store after setting up the tank because I was going to save the pork fish and I found out 30 days later he passed away but I have grown to love the hobby
Thank you for sharing this marvel. From the first second it's as though time stops!) Did the camera ever get wet? It seems all the footage is taken from outside the glass.(how thick is that?) I will watch again....And again....And again...;)
Hi, Shall I setup salt water aquarium water directly from SEA. I am staying very clean and sea shore in RI. I want 75 Gallon setup at least but want to use SEA water directly from SEA. I can filter water before use or any tips if anyone setup??
28 AI Hydra 52 HD * 600$ a piece = 16800$ | 3780 Watt * 11 Hours a Day by 0.11$/kWh "U.S. average retail price per kilowatthour is 10.41 cents" = 1,669.44 $ a Year | I think that is without taxes
In Germany, the kilowatt hour in my city costs me 28 Euro cents so the electricity alone would cost me 4,249.48 € per year. plus 19600 € for twenty-eight Hydra 52 HD, all inclusive taxes
$$$$$$ is what u need. The time spend on this is also equal to $$$$ I need to work to pay bills haha! Can’t afford 28 hydra 52!! Omg but what an amazing healthy lot of fishes!! All fat and thriving to the max! 💙💙💙
If i have this tank i couldn.t sleep with the fear that it wik brake ore have a diseas outbreak and losing every thing of time and money. I have now a reefer 170 amd some times i am so scared the glas will break. Sometimes at bight i look if its alright. Beutefull tank and the time and money that you have invested is incredable.
As fantastic as this looks, Im sure that the editing of the video had a large part to making this tank look as good as it appears. This aquariums doesnt look half as good on other, more amatuer, videos.

Hands down the most amazing reef I have ever seen. Simply amazing.
Most emotional reef video ever. Beautiful tank
This has got to be best aquarium I've ever seen
This is the pinnacle of fish keeping. It's stunning and I could look at it for hours. It's a living piece of art. Truly breathtaking
This is absolutely breathtaking
when you see a reef tank with sponge and gorgonian thriving that's the master level of reef keeping.
I watched this with my son. We both sat here with our mouths open... staring...
Absolutely amazing.
Absolutely stunning. I'm in awe of the complete Reef Eco System that you have created. I take my hat off to you Sir. Bravo.

Thank you for sharing this marvel. From the first second it's as though time stops!) Did the camera ever get wet? It seems all the footage is taken from outside the glass.(how thick is that?)
I will watch again....And again....And again...;)
Hi, Shall I setup salt water aquarium water directly from SEA. I am staying very clean and sea shore in RI. I want 75 Gallon setup at least but want to use SEA water directly from SEA. I can filter water before use or any tips if anyone setup??
Amazing!!!
What are those marbled Tangs? Are those wild fish or?
State of the art Aquarium. IF only all fish and corals collected went to equal aquariums.
my jaw literally dropped!
Master!!!
Put me down for a Choat's Red Leopard in about ten years
Can you do a step by step build of an aquarium of a similar setup?
What are the schooling fish?
🤓🤓 i wld love to hv ths kinda reef tank.. may i know how much wl it cost??
whats the water parameters of this system as far as tank temp and swings
Brutal...
pleaseeee can you tell me what moorish idol fish's food????
Amazing tank. Is that an albino yellow tang on the video just before 4:00.
Also the yellow tang with black spots and lines?
its called lateral line disease . sad but true
lol that's not lateral line disease. There are tangs that have that color patterning.
big wow
Wow
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What a piece of LIFE 🙈 No words can describe what I feel seeing this right now. ¡O-M-G!
what's that blue fish at 7:02
Talk about $$$$$ into lighting.
28 AI Hydra 52 HD * 600$ a piece = 16800$ | 3780 Watt * 11 Hours a Day by 0.11$/kWh "U.S. average retail price per kilowatthour is 10.41 cents" = 1,669.44 $ a Year | I think that is without taxes
In Germany, the kilowatt hour in my city costs me 28 Euro cents so the electricity alone would cost me 4,249.48 € per year.
plus 19600 € for twenty-eight Hydra 52 HD, all inclusive taxes
Pay up front for leds and save on the back end with bulb replacement and wattage usage.
Indescribable. ❤️
do this 4k ultrawide, no text in screen = profit $$$$
$$$$$$ is what u need. The time spend on this is also equal to $$$$ I need to work to pay bills haha! Can’t afford 28 hydra 52!! Omg but what an amazing healthy lot of fishes!! All fat and thriving to the max! 💙💙💙
what are the purple with yellow back fish called?
I likt those face,I am also planning to have an aquarium so beautiful with different colour
These are the fatest fish I have ever seen in or out of an aquarium.
If i have this tank i couldn.t sleep with the fear that it wik brake ore have a diseas outbreak and losing every thing of time and money. I have now a reefer 170 amd some times i am so scared the glas will break. Sometimes at bight i look if its alright. Beutefull tank and the time and money that you have invested is incredable.
bet he could sell all the livestock for more than he paid for it so all in all not too bad of an investment
My name is Mark Saxby, who are you?
Yeah it's all life stories until a fish or coral get sucked into pump or started dying with no known reason or power trip
Meh
As fantastic as this looks, Im sure that the editing of the video had a large part to making this tank look as good as it appears. This aquariums doesnt look half as good on other, more amatuer, videos.
you my friend are a hater. He has the best tank in the industry
I have just looked after this man's house. Trust me...the video doesn't even do it justice.
