Great Video💜🪸✨🐠 Top Notch!
Much appreciated! Thanks for stopping in and dropping a comment!

The encrusting montis are the best! Love the video, definitely going to help me grow my collection!
Some of the encrusting Montiporas here are insane! Thanks for stopping in and dropping a comment!
-Blaine
Aquaman's Revenge, Danger Zone, Beach Bum.... These names!! HAHA. Keep Montipora-ing this info in your feeds. I'm digging it. Really learning a lot here boys.
Danger Zone is a personal favorite on my end! Thanks for stopping in Trev!

Your videos just popped up on my feed so I just subscribed. I really enjoy this kind of content and Blaine is doing a really good job. I love that you added the Bill Murray and Anacropora to the list. In the future I would LOVE to see a video of a “Top 5-10 Ten Next Level SPS” after stylos, monti, birds nest, green slimer etc. There’s a bunch of videos on easy sps, but I don’t see a lot of content on next level sps. Im absolutely not knocking this video, I really enjoyed it. Just giving a suggestion. Thanks !
Thanks for stopping in! I love the suggestions, I genuinely do! Helps me bring more content out that everyone can enjoy. I’m a hobbyist at heart, so I just want to keep true to that and have a blast! Hope to see you on future videos in the comment section!!
-Blaine
This is my favorite video. I’m more of an intermediate to advanced hobbyist, but love the information on growing easy SPS/Acros. Not enough information on what makes an Acro hard/easy.
Appreciate the comment Brittany! I have really enjoyed this SPS series Kevin and myself have done in the farm!
-Blaine
I just ordered my first lps corals from you guys online. I love them. Maybe I’ll get sps too and make it mixed reef. Thanks guys for having good corals and fast shipping!
Absolutely! Glad the first order treated you well! I can attest I am all in on making my home tank mixed! I feel it's a really unique look and fun challenge in the hobby! Hope we earned a sub Zachary!
-Blaine
Another great video 🫶 the TSA Bill Murray is sweet, definitely need that one in the living room tank!!
See if we can make that happen for ya! Thanks always for sticking around!!
-Blaine
I’m not sure you need another tank in your living room. Just saying. 😂
My god. That mustache. Majesty.
The fact I get so much support for my mustache is mind blowing LOL! Appreciate the kind words about my stache!
-Blaine
Would love to see a deep dive into your top 15/20 deep water acros you carry
I could see a deep water acropora video for sure! Thanks for chiming in!

Meus primeiros sps foram pagoda coral
Pagoda are a great first SPS coral! Thanks for the comment and watching the video!
-Blaine
Is it a bad idea to just have one type of encrusting coral with the hopes that it covers my entire scape? I think it would be cool but idk of there are downsides
I mean if it’s something you want why not right? This hobby is all about what you want, it’s YOUR tank! I always preach that. My one thought would be maybe you end up wanting to do other corals and if it has encrusted the entire scape it will be hard to get anything else to grow potentially!
-Blaine
What bird nest and Stylo could stay with acropora par with out bleaching cause of the light . Mine seem to bleach under high light
I know the pink birds nest tends to get a nicer ton when in higher PAR, but I will get with Kevin and circle back with you on some more information on that! Appreciate you dropping in and leaving these comments!
-Blaine
I have the purple stylo under 350 PAR no problems whatsoever.
@@TopShelfAquatics
Can you do a high end acro video like this ?
Absolutely! On my radar now! Appreciate you letting me know what you want to see!
-Blaine
I wish that TSA's frags weren't borderline microscopic, and closer to general market cost.
What is the recommended par for these corals?
Id say for the group of them all we recommend 150-250 PAR for them!
-Blaine
Montipora, are easy and forgiving
Agreed! No doubt one of the fastest growers on our list! Appreciate your input!
-Blaine
When is the farm open to the public again?
Happily can give you a tour anytime! Come on down!
-Blaine
@@TopShelfAquatics thanks. We live in Daytona. Was in a few Saturday’s ago. The wife is the reefer here and she got a lot of great advice from… can’t remember her name. Sorry. Picked up some clean up crew, nudibranch… a few emerald crabs.
We have made it down for your last few open houses. Touring the farm was…surreal.
Will TSA be at the show in Daytona in November?
Easy peasy ones.
1. Montis / Digis
2. stylophoras
3. Anacropora
4. Birdsnests
5. Most ORA Acros
Seeing a trend here! Thanks for stopping in! I have to say though stay tuned for that “Triple Threat” thing is nuts!
