- Building a nano or pico saltwater planted tank is super easy and can be a stunning addition to any reef tank room!
A huge thank you goes out to Dennis (TigaBoy.H20) for letting me invade his Seattle, WA home late at night for a tank tour! If you haven't checked out his IG, it's a MUST FOLLOW: / tigahboy.h2o

As someone trying to get into saltwater coming from the world of heavily planted freshwater, these macroalgae tanks are exactly what I needed to convince me that saltwater doesn't have to be just boring/repetitive coral arrays + fish. I love the corals and fish, but macroalgae all feels so much more alive.
Same. Corals are beautiful but I dislike how neon they are.
@@snekysneks They aren't neon if you don't turn your light on insanely blue
I'm a planted tank enthusiast but I would never consider a reef tank or corals "boring."
I think the arrays you are talking about are tanks made specifically to culture coral, they are not display tanks.
@@bretthousman8317 Reefs are definitely not boring, but it's nice to spice things up a bit because they aren’t the only kind of marine tank that is possible.
Thank you for stopping by and capturing this awesome footage! I had a blast hanging out.
Any time! Thanks for the ride and FOOD!!!
Nice tanks man love to see all the types of tanks and thoughts and how nicely placed everything is love the tanks man
His macro algae tanks are top notch 🤩
Seriously. Seeing them in person was such a treat!
Let’s go! More people need to know about the beauty of Macroalgae tanks! Tigahboy is the Jedi master of Macros!
It was like going to a macro temple!
@@BahamaLlamaCoral no doubt!
Super nice visit.
You got yourself a new subscriber.
Wow so impressive, so simple yet complex. That garbage tank is crazy with growth and beauty.
🙌 Garbage tank!
I loved it! The mollies were so cool in there!
Men… this video made my day! I keep freshwater planted taks right now only running 3 of them but couple months ago I had 7 all UNS crystal clear low iron glass (cubes, shallow etc) all of them on different models twinstar lights. I was sure that going into hobby of saltwater gonna be expensive as hell but I’m already have everything I need. So let’s go! Thanks for great video and inspiration for next phase of my aquarium hobby!
Loved the video and hearing his take on his tanks! He's my inspiration for getting into macroalgae tanks!! Love having them!!
It's something unique. A niche within a niche within a niche!
@@BahamaLlamaCoral yessss so true!!
GOOD LUCK WITH THE PUPPIES! I alsop just got a dog named Luna so much love and good memories ahead of you! I have been enjoying the interview videos alot as well. Keep up the great work Remy!
Thank you so much!!
Cool tank tour! It was interesting to hear Dennis talk about his tanks, lighting, supplementation, maintenance, and filtration. Thank you for taking the time to treat us to a behind-the-scenes look at where all his awe-inspiring photos are made.
Very beautiful tanks.
Also a great opportunity for saltwater beginners.
I love that you got to video this and hearing tiga talk about his tanks, and the way the two shallows form a bigger scape and piece being close together!
I thought u retired from CZcams, glad you're back
Lol! I didn't realize how much being home so much last year helped. SO. BUSY.
Respect for the salt water panda mollie in the grow out- I have a 10 gallon “experiment tank” to see what random hitchhikers appeared from some live rock, and my panda mollie is a micro algae eating machine but leaves the macro alone
Totally agree! The mollies really keep the macroalgae clean.
Mollies are undervalued in the saltwater hobby. They can keep the nutrients up and the algae down.
Awesome video as always Remy! 👏🙌
Replace your freshwater with one of these! 😉
@@BahamaLlamaCoral or just get a whole new tank😜 hahaha my husband said today he’s happy to sell the dining table to make room 😱🤩 I almost fell over 🤣
Amazing tanks !!!!!!!
Great Video Remy!!!!!!
Ps saw that George Framer book huge fan !!!!
He's got a lot of cool stuff! Loved visiting!
As a guy who has both a reef tank and a freshwater planted tank i just want to say… i hate u!!! Lol im going to have to get a new tank now. Damn that guys scape skills are on point!
Lol. I totally feel this. It's just a beautiful little ecosystem. Also SUPER EASY to shoot in white light! 😂
@@BahamaLlamaCoral lol nothing but love bro. Love your channel!
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for the video! Loved it, Tigahboy's tanks are inspiring, I have been struggling and learning about growing macroalgae with my own experimentation.
Hope if to see an update on your macro algae tank
I need to update a lot! lol.
Would love an update on your tanks remy! Great vid 👌
Coming soon!
Such a master piece dude
Cool seeing all the macros, nice tour!
Nice video! Can’t wait to see an update on the clown breeding process🤭
They are egg laying machines!
Congrats. Super excited for you.
Hey brother, I see you’re going to be part of the BRS crew. That’s amazing! You guys are going to make a great team.
Thank you! I'm looking forward to making content on their platform. I'll still be doing stuff on here too!
What an amazing collection of tanks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I’d love to see a detailed maintenance video for these tanks! Very awesome stuff.
❤ i have macro algae sump under 180g. 💘 the sump.
Love that! Time for a display 😊
Remy looks like a younger version of Adam Sandler
I get this a lot. He's not the studliest dude in the world but I'll take it, 😂
yessir!
Awesome! ❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
Total Excellence
Would be interested to see what a fresh water aquascaper would do with macroalgae.
I would LOVE to see that!
Well on German CZcams an aquascaper will scape a macroalgae tank soon... like in the next months I guess.. If you want to check out search just after @Aquaowner 👌👌
I wonder if it is possible to keep Amano shrimp (C. multidentata) in a macroalgae tank. Yes I know they are considered and sold as a fresh water species. But people do raise them in captivity, and they require salt water conditions. Once adapted to fresh water, they do not tolerate salt water again. However, it may be possible to raise the larvae almost to adulthood or even adulthood under salt water conditions...
I need to get that issue! I'd love to read that article
Nice tanks projects
SEATTLE!!!!!
Good shit man I like the videos
video very nice thank for share
👍 nice, thanks for sharing. My friend #spicyreef needs help with macro algae in Seattle… where can I get some for him?
That's a good question! Hit up Dennis on IG!
It is 'refugium' display tank.
Thanks!
😮
Dude where are you? Everyday coming on CZcams to see no new Bahamas llama video is sad stuff 😢 love your content man!
BRS hired me so I'v been working on vids for them. I should be back once I get that upload schedule down.
@@BahamaLlamaCoral Hi Sir congratulations very nice and beautiful setups and aquarium. Can you please precise to us the type of Lights you use? Thank you in advance
I'm wondering if you can just use water from a reef tank durring water changes in order to supply the algea with nutrients..
Hm. I got a twinstar 300sa left over from some freshwater aquascape. Wonder if itd be good for macroalgae
Sounds like it might be time for another build!
@@BahamaLlamaCoral xD im just now getting the last piece of gear for my first saltwater aquarium. But really the builds never end
Hey Remy, I’m going to be at aquashella Chicago (my girlfriend is the mermaid at the event) and I was wondering what I gotta do to get ahold of a frag of that weeping willow toadstool? Big fan of the page, great stuff as always!
@BahamaLlamaCoral Hi Sir congratulations very nice and beautiful setups and aquarium. Can you please precise to us the type of Lights you use? Thank you in advance
Can you keep corals together with macro algae?
Yep!
What supplements do you use for the tanks
Where did you get the leopard gecko from in the area?
Saved him from Petco. Was gonna go to Exotic A.R.C. but they had this dude on sale for 50% off because it was an adult. Super healthy, docile...love the lil guy.
Aquarium light can use freswater light?
surely some more zoa vids soon :)
Have some questions would love to talk about this setup
where is the nest site to buuy different kinds of macro algae like this ?
Hey man! where are ya! its been 2 months! we miss you
what is he using as an overflow box for the tanks that dont hhave filter chambers ?
What would be the right Iron levels in the water ?
IMO classic reef tanks are boring! They all look the same, the overly blue lights make everything look like tacky glow sticks but this! This convinced me to set up a saltwater.
Exactly! I agree with you on this one. So many different biotopes out there!
@@BahamaLlamaCoral you did a beautiful job thank you for the inspiration.
Does mexican turbo snail eat macros? I just got this codium and it’s beautiful like a sea sponge
They do, but Codium is fairly inedible compared to other macroalgae.
These all need tiny tiny gobys & blemmys ... more sexy shrimp that one looks sad ... the mangrove would be great for tiny volcano shrimp
where can i get some kool calerpa?
Im from Saint louis and would like to meet you im always looking for fellow hobbyist.
Very beautiful aquariums. Write the names of all algae inside.
There’s like 20 different kinds of algae. That’s would be a long list
#NoNude 😂
LOL!!! 😂
Remy…. Where u attttty
Doin BRS videos now! I'll be back on this channel soon, just gotta get everything sorted on the other side.
