This guy loves to say a whole lotta nothing
🤣🤣😂
How do you tumble it please make a video thank you
I have 13 tangs with the oldest one being a 10” Desjardini. I have a 6yr old Achilles and a 7yr old Whitetail tang & four 5yr old Yellow tangs. I feed them Nori as well as mysis shrimp and LRS herbivore frozen food. I also add Benepets pellets and TDO Chroma boost 1-2x/week.
Great stuff , very informative as always , keep up the great work 👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼
I found out my tangs and foxface love eating caulerpa lentillifera. So i ordered some human food grade farmed caulerpa lenti to feed my tangs. I will grow it and use it as natural food
Is chaeto a good option ? Mine seem to like it
I have a question, what do you do when you have too much coral? I didn't know where else to look and google wouldn't give me a good answer.
REALLY excellent information!
This is probably on my Top 10 list of aquarium home visits by a reefing channel. Well done.
That’s a big statement there!! Much appreciated and glad I was able to capture Joe’s tank so well! Thank you for the kind words. -Blaine
such a healthy, beautiful, vibrant tank
Absolutely, such a healthy system was so nice to see in person! -Blaine
A beautiful array of different chalices provides a stunning look to any tank. Nice tour Blaine.
Agreed! Glad you enjoyed this episode! -Blaine
Joe has a beautiful system. His attention to detail shows in his husbandry!
The attention to detail showed through in this system no doubt, was really fun getting to share this system on the channel! -Blaine
@@TopShelfAquaticsit was a blast to watch as well Blaine
whats that orange red tang?
What you described is ridicules. These tanks people keep these fish in are barren and just bad for these fish. At some point people just just let nature do its thing and see it on the reef with scuba gear and not capture these poor animals.
I wanted one so bad . Nvm .
Its possible, but you just need to make sure you really are doing the research and providing a well established large system that the fish can enjoy and thrive in! -Blaine
While all of them are beautiful, how would you order each of the genera them most aggressive to the least aggressive (echinophyllia, oxypora, etc)?
Dose anyone know name of snails he said? i want to buy it, thanks you guys
Nassarius snails! Can find them on our website, a great addition to the clean up crew sand bed and Joe swears by them! Helps maintain that 17+ year old sanded! -Blaine
i need a pelmet like that! how did he make it ? :D
There is a HUGE gap in the available coral info out there - ADULT COLONY PHOTOS/VIDEOS. This drives me insane as a new hobbiest. I see photos of frags all over the place, but I have no idea what 75% of them will grow into. Please post more like this!
I chatted about this in the "Favia" feature episode! These corals do not get the justice when you only see the frags of them! Glad I can share that with you all! Thanks for the comment! -Blaine
So much information in this video, love it!! 🪸🪸
Glad this is content y'all can get at least a couple tips and tricks to help better your own reef tanks at home! I am lucky to have the farm staff and everyone else here at TSA with their years of expertise to sponge even myself! -Blaine
Awesome video Blaine! Crushed it!!
Thanks for tuning in!!! Always appreciated! What was your favorite from our list? -Blaine
@@TopShelfAquatics Raja Rampage is a classic and it looks great. But I love the name Raja in Pajamas 😂
Liked the video
Appreciate you! -Blaine
Wish you guys shipped merch to Canada, was going to buy the UV shirt But could not!
oooo i dig the gold meister 👑 awesome video!
The Gold Meister is solid!! -Blaine
Message jason fox, thats not his my miami, thats called the eternal flame! I cant believe yall got it so wrong😢
I’ll make sure to chat with him next time in person, but a simple Google search and you can see JF Eternal Flame isn’t a coral listed.. and his JF My Miami looks very very similar to ours… because it is I promise! -Blaine
@TopShelfAquatics I just ask him at aquashella dallas he said it is called the eternal flame I have both and they're different promise
8:36 is a nice one
a smiling chalice at 4:13 :)
Nice eye!! I literally couldn’t believe what I found when I was digging through the shots! -Blaine
I have 3 chalices (avatar, raja rampage, and hollywood stunner) coming from TSA tomorrow. This is perfect timing!
Perfect timing!! Love to hear that, nice snags by the way! Huge fan of all of those! Thanks for trusting us with your aquacultured corals and the comment! -Blaine
They clearly made this video for you. That’s great customer service.
Blaine is crushing it with the videos uploads!
Appreciate you my friend!! I feel you should stop by TSA soon, who knows maybe here in the near future!! The farm is calling! -Blaine
Heck yeah he is!!
This tank is simply amazing!!! Another excellent "Tank Tour" from my man Blaine!
Rob my man!! Hoping all is well in your system of course, and thank you for tuning in Tusi truly knows what he’s doing! -Blaine
I have seen this tank on other channels and I just can't get tired of it. Such an amazing looking tank. Bravo 👏🙌👌✌️
Can never get enough of it myself! Thanks for checking this episode out! -Blaine
Stunning tank
Was breathtaking in person! -Blaine
Amazing tank Joe! But I guess the natural foods in your tank for your filefish got depleted....
Yes it did but he eats frozen food. Not fas as he should be though
As long as it's eating the frozen and warding off any future outbreaks I feel it can be a great addition to any reef tank! Joe's was a nice example of one! -Blaine
Sorry for spoiling the party, but normally in the wild ocellaris and perculas aren’t naturally found inside BTAs, rather they are usually found inside Stichodactyla carpets, long tentacle anemones and a few others
Wish the Tangs could flap and splash their appreciation on you for the wonderful in depth introduction 😊❤
Well said! The tangs sure do appreciate having Taras around the farm, and glad he can share his knowledge with all of you on the channel! -Blaine
❤❤❤❤
That is such a beautiful tank man I loved every second of this video
So glad you enjoyed it! Was a pleasure making this one, and being able to share with the TSA community! -Blaine
8:09 🥵
Too hot to handle! -Blaine
This is awesome!
Thanks for tuning in! -Blaine
This thing is not ready for prime time yet. I really hope everyone who considers a Trident NP does their research first. Neptune fibbed. NP doesn’t stand for Nitrate Phosphate. They meant to say it stands for No Phosphates
14:56 of the video
Did anybody else see the Siamese zoa head?
Double mouthed Paly head! Nice catch! -Blaine
@TopShelfAquatics okay thanks didn't know what to call it. I know now.
why not using Lanthanchloride in the sump for the reduction of phosphate?
The colors are amazing❤ This look seems specific to using Zeolit reactors🦊
The colors on his corals were truly vibrant, and showcased just how healthy this system was! -Blaine
I would like to take this opportunity to Thank Top shelf aquatics for taking the time to visit my home and spend all the time to do this video. Kevin, Blaine and the videographer are the best in the busness. I am humbled to be chosen to be on their channel. I want to also Thank all viewers and especially the ones that took the time to leave comments. Appreciate all of you. This is what makes this hobby so special.
Thank you for being YOU! Much love my friend and until next time! -Blaine
Love your tank, truly inspiring for newer hobbyist. Thank you for letting everyone get an opportunity to enjoy it.
Love the video has the Jake Adam vibe
This made my day, thank you for the kind words. Hope I can create a channel and community half as well as that man did! Thank you! 🩵 -Blaine
I use Nyos salt, its excellent...
Always been on it? Always like hearing from people their experiences! -Blaine
That is breathtaking, I could get rid of Netflix and just watch this all day. Such a great video and love Joe's take on reefing. Great work blaine ❤️
Thomas! Thank you!!! So glad you enjoyed this one, it made my day being able to get this one out to you all! Happy reefing! -Blaine
Hes basically explaining how their product is diluted Ive used Topshelf aquatics many times spent 1000s also tried all 3 live phytoplanktons I also tried ocean magic and reef nutrition without a doubt reef nutrition is my favorite its highly concertrated I like seeing my water change color and visibly see all the phytoplankton now im starting my own phytoplankton farm and looking into reef legends they have many types of strains I like that.
Would love to see an update on this tank as it grows
Noted, and hopefully something I get to do in the future!! -Blaine
