Thanks for visiting Ryan! I had a great time catching up and getting these videos shot.
Thanks for the invite. This is my new favoriate video :)
These two guy's have done so much to help the hobby. Teaching, inspiring and leading the way! Awesome talk by two of the best.
Thanks :) Than, just released another :) czcams.com/video/KEqNMER9Rsg/video.html
As a small business owner I absolutely love hearing the business side of the story! Great interview.
We got a lot deeper into that in yesterday's release czcams.com/video/KEqNMER9Rsg/video.html
Me as well!
do more with Than. You Than Thein and Jake Adams were my inspiration going into the hobby and going through all the ups and downs. your office tank tour gave me idea for how to maintain my tank on my schedule and now I'm somehow doing better with sps than softies and lps. like for obvious reasons because I don't dose nutrients even though i need to 😅 but I'm happy with how things are so don't want to change anything (for now) you have all responded to questions directly on IDs and problems and even ideas going in to my first build.
Than is my fashion sense inspiration. I should dress better.
something to aspire to :) @@user-qx9yf4ny1t
Will do. glad to know people value what goes into this :)
His facility is nothing short of exquisite. The fact he took the rest of us along through the build process, was simply a treat.
And I dare say, his build inspired many. I would not have an aluminum stand for example, had I not watched this building come to fruition
Agree :)
This was truly a fantastic interview. I feel like we saw a side of both Than and Ryan that we've not necessarily seen before. It was really refreshing!
I think his set and voice is designed to let your guard down :)
Your wire management and valves and everything is so good. The openness is poetic. It’s so good.
poetic is a good word :)
Very cool to have a real conversation between two of the best, that seem to be successful for the same reason, yet also appear to be completely different in all things including how they run/think about their businesses.
Thank you two you both.
I love this video so much. Two titans in our industry revealing what’s behind the curtain. Thanks.
Thanks Mathew. You May relate with this one even more czcams.com/video/KEqNMER9Rsg/video.html
You guys need to collaborate more. The content, sincerely and just talking about the hobby was refreshing. Thank you.
I enjoyed it as well. Nice to take a step back and see a bigger picture :)
Outstanding conversation between two knowledgeable people in our hobby. Good stuff.
Thanks for the kind words :)
I have purchased from Tidal Gardens, and they experience was one of the best I've ever had. Every coral was amazing, the price was competitive, and even in Michigan, everything arrived alive and well! Wish I could visit the facility. Would gladly pay for that experience.
Love , love, love this. Very special for me as a small business owner and avid reefer. Thank you!
We got a bit more into that in yesterday's release as well. czcams.com/video/KEqNMER9Rsg/video.html
Great video, I’m jealous of Than’s thought and attention to wire management.
Me too!
2 Legends 🙂 We’ve learned so much from these two Pioneers.
Thanks for the kind words and motivation :)
One of the best interviews I've watched. Zipties, phycopaths, empathy, and many more...kinda relit something in me about the hobby. Thank you.
hearing our words could have that impact made my day :)
Ryan youve gotten really good at curating interviews. Of course listening to Than is always a treat, but yalls synergy has improved of the course of multiple interviews. I particularly enjoyed this one
Honest, down to earth and very informative as always.
Ryan and Co thank you for all of your solid info.
Great content, thank you both
By far my most favorite reefing video I’ve seen. Very interesting conversation
if you like this one try Than's release of our talk :) czcams.com/video/KEqNMER9Rsg/video.html
I like that phrase " Overbuild is a matter of OPINON, But Underbid is a matter of Fact"
Well said :)
Genuinely enjoyed this!
Ryan I hope to see you at reefapalooza Orlando this year. I really appreciate your “empathy” even if it’s algae and you want/can help. That’s great works man the mother Theresa of reefing, good stuff man thank you from all the little guys who got in this hobby because of you and the OG 52weeks of reefing
glad to be of service :) I will be there!
Than is my favorite. I buy way too many corals from Tidal Gardens and always a wonderful experience.
Still watching so probably should make notes for one comment at the end. But yall talking about the difference when people believed in you gave me goosebumps.
I look for ways to give that gift back every day. The type of support that goes beyond "the idea" and rests solely on what you believe that person is capable of when they apply themselves is life-changing.
This was an absolutely amazing video. Just to hear you guys talk about all the different parts of the business was a great look into what it takes to get people in this hobby the products we need. I always love the long videos really gets me excited to do more with my reef.
Check out the second release on Than's channel. It may be my favorite video I have ever participated in. czcams.com/video/KEqNMER9Rsg/video.html
@9:02 those episodes were blowing my mind too.
so fun!
Two apex reefers! Very useful information.
What a great conversation! No B.S. here. I have such respect for these guys.
😂you “go wild” with correct plumbing, backups on your backups, budgeting and future planning”😂
😂it’s just normal to get electrocuted doing water changes in the fishstore. Yours doesn’t even vibrate. It’s so beautiful.
Than is the man!
He is :)
Than the Man ! Would love to see some shorts 😅
me too :)
@@BRStv Ryan the Man is Cool too .
Route 66 is so clean!
it is!
Could you do a video on cable management? How you organize cables in a manner that will allow for easy removal? Being on my first tank this is not something I find a lot about and is a huge hassle when it comes time to clean out or replace equipment in the sump.
The clothing interest translates well into being onscreen. It’s customary to dress nicely.
True :)
Good friends are rare nowadays.
I do like having order with my power-plugs, like keeping my heaters next to eachother, pumps etc. But I think that it's a good point of redundancy if you are spreading your heaters and pumps, between power-boards because if one fails, atleast your system is still being heated and some pumps are still keeping the water turned over.
I would pay admission to tour and explore the construction and assembly. The coral and fish ? been there seen that, but not the main feature.
Me too :)
Very good presentation.
…ya, but you have the big beautiful coral farm with a pre-existing business model. You don’t have to be funny. You can just talk about anything about that constantly, and it’s super interesting.
as a construction worker, i remember plywood that was normally 28$ going for 80$ lmfaooo it was crazy. work was so slow
Damn that's some furniture. Are you sure you're not in Miami ?
Did you get the idea from Gary who ran a coral farm in NW Indiana? He had the same setup in the 90’s for his farm.
“Overbuilt” as compared to adding another Rubbermaid tub until you run out of money, I spose.
Than, you gotta start doing short form educational content... Your reach and subscriber count will grow so fast... Please please please try!!
I hope you add live plant walls to the shower area
Is there a build video for the warehouse ?
Yes there is - czcams.com/play/PL0zyhW7mgXynGt7OJ-VJe1y_r0vuBPR72.html
That’s not true, Tropicorium in Inkster Michigan has a greenhouse coral garden that’s pretty impressive. I’ve gotta come visit you, never knew you were just one state away!
I would love to know Ryans thoughts at that moment. about more not being great as he sold to Aperture
Here it is :) czcams.com/video/KEqNMER9Rsg/video.html
Wait? Business school? I thought he went to law school?
I got my MBA before starting law school.
One? You just post one of these?

Nonono, we don’t want you to put out epic content. Just talk about fish. Or show stuff about fish.
Good content, but Ryan... speak up lol. you get so quiet!
I think it was the mic and the setting
…now you’re therapizing eachother… of course you’re bored..
Psychopaths are so gross.
You’re only boring yourself. Probably because you’re there the whole time.
Maybe he could have shaved some off and charged a little less to the customers to make reefing more affordable to anyone who wants to get into it
Thats already a need filled by others
