Love the central gyre setup!
"Keep it simple", says the man with the 1000 gallon tank...
I understand where you are coming from, but I feel Nick is saying his way of reefing. Regardless if the size of the tank is large, he is trying to maintain simple practices that have shown him success in past projects.

An amazing tank and such a diverse collection of fish. His shoals of anthias are awesome. Nicks attention to detail really shows with his approach he has taken and being attentive to his tank he has been able to accomplish his end goal. A lot of people want a very nice eco system but aren’t willing to put in the work to achieve it. Imo stability is key.
The shoals of Anthias were incredible! Thanks for tuning in and dropping a comment!

Great job, Nick! Amazing tank
He is killing it for sure! Thanks for checking out the video!

My system wants to be this system when it grows up!
Preach it! Hoping one day I can get a nice centerpiece system like this in my home!! Thanks for tuning in!

Makes me happy to see how tank rock is built out in the late 90s I was doing builds like this with Tonga shelf and branch rock while everyone else was building stacked walls against the back glass .. it makes me smile every time I see it cause I was right
Kevin is a master scaper no doubt! Thanks for the kind words and dropping a comment on the video!!

This is what we like, few big fish many small fish with different colors. Gives contrast and is a "full of live" looking reef aquarium. Amazing aquarium. But it would be best if you looked to solve the material floating on the tank's surface, which can block your light. Most likely, due to the pump in the mid-right of the tank, you should consider moving it all the way to the right.
Always been a HUGE fan of large tanks with TONS of small fish. His school of Anthias was really to die for, and it was amazing to see in person! Glad I could share with you all!

I can only dream
One day for all of us reefers, right?!

Great video, the guy knows his stuff, I have no clue about fish, I’m a reptile lady but through watching Paul and Gio I’m learning more thankfully and if I’m honest have found a new passion, I look forward to to learning more from u guys too, you’d know everything man who xx
Thanks for running in Susan! Appreciate you watching the videos and leaving a comment. Welcome to the salty side of things it’s a lot of fun!

Just a beautiful tank, and fish BIG DOGGIE 💯👣
Hard not to love a tank this pretty! Thanks for tuning in!
-Blaine
Lyretail anthias are one of my absolute favorite fish. I have 7 In my 300.❤❤
The school of 80 or so was unreal to see in person! Such an awesome experience! Thanks for checking out the video!
-Blaine
WIth a school of anthias, which generally speaking have fast metabolisms. Do they require a lot more feeding? If so I wonder how does it. Autofeeder I guess?
They are for sure fish that will enjoy multiple feedings throughout the day! Taras did an awesome fish talk episode about them which you can find on our channel! Auto feeders are great tools for keeping Anthias well fed! Thanks for tuning in tonight!
-Blaine
The Avast Marine Plank auto feeders. Im obsessed with mine.
I need to know the name of the light blue acro at the top of the scape at 2:13. I don’t know if my eyes are deceiving me, but it looks amazing on the video. A very unique color shade.
Just an Oregon Blue Tort under some more white spectrum!
-Blaine
Wow, I never would have guessed! I keep my tank pretty white too but my Oregon Tort colony is much darker blue than what that one looks like (at least on video).
What was that coral at 2:10-2:12? I got one of those from a guy but neither of us knew what it was 😁
Edit: it's also at 7:20
That's our TSA Blueberry Stylophora!
-Blaine
Seem like some fish 🐟 like to nip the blue tang tail 😂 , I had to remove my clownfish because they were nipping at my blue tang tail
Was one of the oldest fish too so been around the block for a while! Surely happening a little though! Thanks for tuning in.
-Blaine
Liked the video
I need that T-shirt 🙊
I think you absolutely do! Let’s make it happen! 😉
-Blaine
Whats the name of the beauty in the sand visible 24:08 to 24:15?
Saw that too! Gorgeous fish. Looks like a blue-spotted jawfish maybe?
Blue spotted jawfish! An awesome addition to tanks! Lid recommended for these!
-Blaine
What is Red Ogo?
Hey Lisa! A species of Macroalgae! May be featured in an upcoming macro feature video!
-Blaine
Where are the Purple Queens 👸..?
Whats mussoori gel? Binder which is being used to my diy fish food. From where i can get it?
It’s called Mazuri Aquatic gel! Can find it directly on their site I believe.
