    I’ve watched a lot of RUclips videos on marine tanks, especially large ones in someone’s home, and this one tops them all, a lot of them you don’t see all 3 or 4 sides for various reasons, but this is as perfect as it gets, a stunning tank and back up system all well planned, developed,installed and maintained.
    Excellent video, loved every minute, thanks Blaine and the behind the scenes crew. 👍

      Agreed! We have a ton of strains at the farm, and in my opinion are extremely underrated! Need to keep them separated from other corals, but a great addition to any reef!

    The tank is great, fish are beautiful and healthy, coral looks great, the equipment set up is well thought out, etc. I just will the scape didn't look like they just dumped in a pile of rocks. Maybe it doesn't look that way in person.

    Why encourage ppl with bare bottoms to get wrasses. A dog can easily sleep outside in the dirt but instead most owners have them inside on a nice dry bed. Why treat fish any different when you know they are a lot better off having sand?

      please don't take it to the extreme, I'm a plumber myself imagine coming from work and putting my hands in there just like that, what I'm saying is always wash and RINSE your hands before touching you inside of the tank. Imagine a car mechanic with his hands inside your tank!
