@@audiomanmik just love to hear how they make these systems so amazing! I know a lot of people don’t like the whole agreeing after every statement, but I like having the people explain their system! Glad you enjoyed hope to see you back on the comments again! -Blaine
Tank truly is an accomplishment to have built, stocked, and cared for to have it all turn out to look like this! Was a joy to share, thanks for the comment. -Blaine
You absolutely can glue frags to the back wall of a system, that is the way a lot of people are able to get the GSP to grow that nice matting on the back wall! Thanks for checking out the video and dropping a comment! -Blaine
Wow, Derrick is a rare breed right there. Haven't seen a single Tuber actually setup a UV even close to correctly, and then Derrick comes along and runs all his return water through a UV big enough to handle the water flow, restoring some faith there is at least a few people out there that know what they are doing.
Lowe's measurements 104 inches by inches34 by inches 36 divided by 231 comes out to 551 gallons and you said it was 675 gallon aquarium. how are you figuring your gowns out
Not entirely sure about each species reaction, but I have heard of freshwater dips being good for them in case of pests. Derricks anecdotes are another success story as well! He had Derasa and Maxima clams. -Blaine
Some people it’s a part of their everyday behavior and are on top of keeping it that way! I try and keep my tank as clean as possible, glass wise especially 😂 -Blaine
Well he built the entire system himself, and along with the overflow side which he talks about in the video. Was a complete close loop system as well. Custom frag tank / sump down below as well. Seems fairly custom to me! -Blaine
He has made it a labor of love, and it shows! Was amazing getting to sit down and talk reef with him for this period of time, was absolutely my pleasure. -Blaine
WWC take notes! This is how you make a tank tour video. Not rushed and not talking over the guest…
Just happy I’m able to show off these amazing systems! Appreciate the comment, and really appreciate the support on my end!
-Blaine
I thought I was the only person to notice the speaking over people... it gives off an air of I know better than you, the person with an amazing tank.

Очень красивый риф 👍
Thank you for dropping a comment! The tank was surely a beautiful one!
-Blaine
Possible to know the size of the tank ?? in feet or Inches ?? Height ,Width and length ..
Wow great tank. Are you going to be doing more tank tours?
No dad joke at the end. Sigh
For sure more tank tours in our future!!
I promise your other comment came after this was already filmed! 😂 don’t worry I won’t let you down!
-Blaine
@@TopShelfAquatics haha, I won’t let you forget!
What kind of tang? A pale lip tang? Around 3:55
Can someone please tell me what is the fish at 15:39 ?
Thanks.
Bodianus Anthioides!
-Blaine
Do you guys ship custom tanks?
We can make that happen absolutely! Send us a DM on Instagram or send us an email! Tell em I sent ya from the RUclips!
-Blaine
Stunning tank. Great job - 1 year old....ridiculous
Will for sure be a system we will have to revisit and see again in the future! Thanks for tuning in!
-Blaine
Love this tank.. do derrick have a IG page?
Not entirely sure, I will ask if he does share photos of his system on any socials!
-Blaine
Does he have an instagram account?
Not that I know of, and hopefully I can revisit in the future!
-Blaine
550
21. I thought we were just commenting random numbers.
-Blaine
😂 for sure! 104x34x36 divided by 231 is how i got the random number. 👊
@@yohannicholas7282 800 gallon total system!
Does derrick have a business page or instagram
If you’re wanting something from him we can facilitate that through top shelf since he’s out in house tank builder!
-Blaine
Wow, Derrick is a rare breed right there. Haven't seen a single Tuber actually setup a UV even close to correctly, and then Derrick comes along and runs all his return water through a UV big enough to handle the water flow, restoring some faith there is at least a few people out there that know what they are doing.
Glad I was able to share his setup with you all!
-Blaine
how do people keep the backs so clean! :D I always have coralline algae lol
I know some reef keepers are religious about keeping their glass scraped LOL!
-Blaine
Insane tank Derrick! You guy's did an incredible job showcasing what the tank has to offer with movement and color! Keep up amazing work!
Agreed with the movement! Insane seeing that school swimming around together and all the corals!
-Blaine
What brands and models are the 2 UV sterilizers that Derrick is running?
Aqua UV! Thanks for dropping a comment and checking out the video!
-Blaine
Amazing job! the man really knows his stuff. The proof is in the pudding.

and you said it was 675 gallon aquarium.
how are you figuring your gowns out
i need a frag of that mustache!!
Who knows maybe the next TSA live sale?!?
-Blaine
You have an open invitation to visit with me and tour my tank.
I won't even be offended if you brought a bunch of corals with you.👍🏾👍🏾
Reach out to us on IG love to see your system! Maybe something we can make happen!
-Blaine
breath taking tank
Was even more impressive in person!
-Blaine
Fresh water dips on clams really?! Good to know! Any type of clam can withstand freshwater?
Not entirely sure about each species reaction, but I have heard of freshwater dips being good for them in case of pests. Derricks anecdotes are another success story as well! He had Derasa and Maxima clams.
-Blaine
beautiful but i think look bit crowded
Amazing system !! Congrats Derek !!!!
He’s very proud of it, as he should be!
-Blaine
love the tank but I don't consider it a reef tank , don't get me wrong I love it but its more like a show tank for corals
I see what you mean, but truly a piece or work nonetheless!
-Blaine
are those 150w per uv? and thats all hes doing for ich management>? any other tips on how he settled the outbreak?
They are! 150W dual units. That and maintaining good healthy diets for all his fish.
-Blaine
Awesome Mix corals tanks with all beautiful fishes, its my dream too😅
The mix of all the different things really kept me wanting to know more and more!
-Blaine

Simply amazing
Was amazed the entire time I was there! Thanks for dropping by Wesley!

beautiful tank, great set up I love his journey.
A wonderful story that’s for sure!! Thanks for dropping a comment!
-Blaine
God damn beautiful!!! Well done Blaine!!!
Much appreciated!! Tried to capture as much as I could with the system, hope I did it justice!
-Blaine
Beautiful, I love it. My dream
Agreed on my end!
-Blaine
Man how do people keep their tanks so clean!? ❤
Some people it’s a part of their everyday behavior and are on top of keeping it that way! I try and keep my tank as clean as possible, glass wise especially 😂
-Blaine
Very beautiful system
Thanks for checking out the video!
-Blaine
Respect yard man
Respect for the comment other yard man!
-Blaine
That was a great handshake!
Something about the sound of a crisp handshake or high five that I can’t deny.
-Blaine
Insane 😮
Agreed!!! Tank was unreal in person.
-Blaine
wow he has so many varieties that ive never seen before. cant wait to see an update on the acros!
basic 4 sides and a bottom tank like every other tank.....but custom. 🤣🤣🤣
Well he built the entire system himself, and along with the overflow side which he talks about in the video. Was a complete close loop system as well. Custom frag tank / sump down below as well. Seems fairly custom to me!
-Blaine
Does anyone know what the fish at 18:40 is called?
What time again? That time frame seems to be the end.
-Blaine
Got ya. got ya. got ya.........
Got ya.
-Blaine
So beautiful tank, nice job Derrick.
He has made it a labor of love, and it shows! Was amazing getting to sit down and talk reef with him for this period of time, was absolutely my pleasure.
-Blaine
These fish have a better home and life than some humans 😂
Preach! 😂 so true! Like I always say, us hobbyists treat our fish like our dogs and cats and Derrick made sure to take it to the next level!
