    Thanks Jake for bringing such a beautiful store...what i like about Ali’s approach is he has his displays to prove his art of reefing...awesome displays man...and a great work in photography....touch of the video is at the very end he appreciated you being there for him 10 yrs ago and how you hugged him...may the friendship prevails and if you talk to him again Jake please pass on my SALAAM O ALAIQUM....meaning my good wishes with peace...

    Such a bright place and so breathable. I like so much the white stands ,so much better than black and the wide open shallow tanks. Beautiful corals ,it is so simple but always simple is the best form of complexity. All tanks have a good consistency of corals ,just right not overwhelmingly busy, Ali he is so special,he’s got the touch.

    nice tanks man. Me and my buddies love to break laws. Many tangs in one tank. Too many corals who fight. This way we LEARN. One day this will grant us the ultimate REEF. Through test and study. Love it man. Love your 10 years. Best of luck!

    I've been out of the hobby for decades now. One thing I'm noticing that I didn't see in that day is the open topped aquariums. I was used to an enclosing plate with a fluorescent tube on top.

  • @siggyincr7447
    @siggyincr7447 Před 6 lety +2

    Looks like a great place to visit. I really like his approach to keeping only a handful of species in a tank but letting them develop into impressive colonies. Plus it's nice to see tanks that are lit with a bit more natural color of light. I do wonder if a place like that can actually generate any significant income for him. You guys kind of hint at that he's not in it for the money. I'm guessing this fish store is actually just his fish room with a bit of sales to help support it. Nothing wrong with that, but it would explain why most LFS's can't do it the same way.

  • @apollyonxxx
    @apollyonxxx Před 2 lety

    I worked up the street from this store off Batavia, worked early hours. Store was never open by the time I was off at 2 PM. I’m sure he saw me on security camera peering through the window a few times. All makes sense now. These are his display tanks.
