    Out of every video I have seen on CZcams.. this is hands down the best tank/interview in my opinion. I have seen this video maybe 15 times in the last 2 years. Please if possible get a update on this system. Keep up the great work 👊🏽 love the content. Congratulations on the baby as well

    Interesting to finally see someone who keeps a reef exactly as I do. Keep it simple, keep it stress free, keep it low tech, it pays off.

    Dev this is by far the most inspiring tank that I’ve seen. She really takes an approach that logically makes a lot of sense. She manually does things and allow the chemistry to swing within reason to build up hardiness. Which makes so much sense. Just like is humans we need to build up tolerances if we get sick so she makes perfect sense. I love this video. And her simplicity puts her in the drivers seat because she’s the controller. I love it. I will have this video on repeat. She makes her fish work and do their jobs. Perfectly natural. Thanks Dev. Another video that’s A+. Maybe on your next live stream. Do something about simplicity in reef tanks and her thought process in her approach to reefing.

    • @ReefDudes

  • @hotashesreef472
    @hotashesreef472 Před 5 lety +4

    100% credit where it's due. Wincey is an inspiration of how simple reef tanks work. Grated, having approx. 300 gallons of water it only helps her style of reefing when adding her rodi water and elements manually. It's set ups like this that bring people into this hobby believing it is possible. Although much of the advanced hardware is nice to have, it can also be very off putting for and even a vulnerability in making us lazy. On the other hand, we wouldn't be able to attend shows such as RAP, Aquashella & MACNA if we didn't have automation ;)
    Thanks Dev,
    A.

    • @boomcar911
      @boomcar911 Před 4 lety

      It is an awesome tank, however, I've noticed that not all reefers open their houses or tanks up for everyone. I found a guy on Kijiji who has a massive collection of corals and tanks, and I asked him why he's not on Facebook etc, and he just doesn't want to be..

  • @losendos194
    @losendos194 Před 3 lety

    Love the 'hands on' attitude of this lady - surely this has to be the point of any hobby... I run a simple FOWLR system and a separate nano coral garden. I have long suspected that for a lot of reefers the hobby has become more about expensive
    equipment and technology rather than the joy of coral and fish. Not a criticism just a considered observation. Wincey is a true inspiration!!! Thank You.

  • @Dariusdoesreefing
    @Dariusdoesreefing Před 2 lety

    Tanks like these inspire me to keep going and I don’t see most of them in video just in pictures or shorts. The only thing I’m looking for in this hobby is SIMPLICITY and the fact that she has sticks out the a** flourishing and still Doses by hand is ridiculous !!!! I’m just getting into dosing cause I want that stability but I’m definitely sold on ESV just cause this tank. I’m sure everybody else would love an update about this tank !

    • @ReefDudes
