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. 👍
This was easily one of my favorite systems to share this past year! The sump space was something I truly envied! Thanks for the comment and checking it out! -Blaine
I've seen it in person and can't believe what he has done. Same for some of the other guys in Miami that I'm sure you have seen. FMAS is truly well represented.
Reef Pro BioEX is what I dose too along with their two-part. Simple, effective, and affordable. Plus the owner really is super helpful and knowledgeable.
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! -Blaine
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?
He mainly preached, keeping your hands out of tank; for some soaps though once completely dry your hands shouldn't be an issue getting into the tank! -Blaine
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!

Agreed! A stunning system no doubt!
-Blaine
This tank is amazing. Every part of it. Lucky to be able to see it in person. Thanks for sharing! 👌💯🔥🙌
Really is a stunning system! Had a blast sharing this one on the channel! The series continues!
-Blaine
That filter system is no joke. Awesome video. I’m a subscriber!
Thank you! Appreciate the sub!
-Blaine
One of the best tanks out there 🔥👏🏼
Agreed the fish selection and corals were stunning! Was a pleasure sharing on the channel!

@@aceonemg hoping I can link up with some more hobbyists and continue these epic tank tours!
-Blaine
This is a spectacular tank!! Thanks 😊

I love my friend Gilbert he is an honest person also his corals and fish are too natch
Always cool to see how others deal with reefing issues! I had never heard of this method till I met up with Javier!
-Blaine
That's so amazing. I love his advice.
He gave a lot of great advice during this interview! Thanks for tuning in!
-Blaine
The sump room. 💯
It was SO SICK! Still drooling over it!
-Blaine
Very Nice System you have.
One reason id like to live in a warm climate would definitely be an outdoor sump/salt pond.
Since moving down south a patio saltwater pond has been on my mind nonstop! Thanks for tuning in and dropping a comment!
-Blaine
😮 Dream tank
Absolutely! A dream system no doubt!
-Blaine
The galaxia islands are really cool. Very underrated coral
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!
-Blaine
i was thinking in puting the galaxia on the back wall but i was afrain with the sweepers
That Sump Though!!!
INSANE right?!?
-Blaine
At 14:10, how do you connect multiple Apex EB832s? Are you daisy chaining them off each other to utilize the same brain?
They can be daisy chained with aqua bus cables!
-Blaine
love it!! ❤️
Agreed was insane getting to see that sump space! Was a blast!
-Blaine
What is this 'Reef Pro Biotics' that Javier's talking about at 10:32? Where can I buy some?
ReefPro BioX!
-Blaine
@@TopShelfAquatics Thanks! Awesome video. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Yes is ReefPro BioX
Really appreciated guys really good video
@@TopShelfAquaticsawesome video guys really clean and very good job . Straight to the point.
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.
Maybe I did not do it justice enough, but I felt the scape and entire system was very well put together, thought out, and done!
-Blaine
Does Javier have his own channel?
He has an Instagram! Linked in description!
-Blaine
I don’t like bare bottom tanks but this one is nice
Little bit of sand in the back, it bled through to the front of the tank in some spots! Thanks for checking the video out!
-Blaine
Is actually almost bare bottom on the front but is full with sand between the rocks and on the back
Ah ok. It’s still nice though. One of the best I’ve seen
Galaxea! such an underrated coral
True! Very underrated, and we have some amazing strains in our farm facility!
-Blaine
@@TopShelfAquatics thanks Blaine - unfortunately I'm not in the US (and moving countries so taking a forced break) ;)
hermosa pecera acere
The tank really was beautiful!
-Blaine
muchas gracias
Asere es con S bro
i live 15 mins from the san francisco bay brand… and i’ve never used it 🤦🏽♂️
Glad this video gave you a little inspiration to try it! Javier endorses it!
-Blaine
What was the name of the product he use for the Dino’s?
@@kennethpendleton3741ditto, I want to know too. I had trouble understanding what he said
You should try it
@@kennethpendleton3741ReefPro BioX
Epic algae and rust tub
I love tech setup and all this goodies, but with all respect, aquascape and coral placement is not my taste.
His sump space was something to strive for no doubt I was in awe!
-Blaine

He has sand in the tank, it’s just on the back wall, you can still see some through out the video.
-Blaine
Washing your hands? Be more specific. Most hand soap has toxic chemicals in it. lol
He mainly preached, keeping your hands out of tank; for some soaps though once completely dry your hands shouldn't be an issue getting into the tank!
