I see. I'm glad there in a bigger home. So many vids on here have big fish in small homes and never get moved to bigger tank.

George Costa - 8 years ago

Well yes i had too many fish, when they grew big i had to move them to a bigger home, some of them i sold to other reef enthusiasts with bigger aquariums. Most of the success i had on the beginning is due to the placement of the rock work that provides plenty of hiding spaces so that fish can establish their territory.

Ben Fuller - 8 years ago

Personally I think he has far to many big fish that are to big for that tank.

I'm starting my first reef tank soon and on forums I got flamed coz I wanted to put a regal tang or yellow tang in a 65 us gallon tank

Calilasseia - 9 years ago

That High Hat is going to grow BIG. It'll need a lot more than 80 gallons just to itself once it starts piling on body mass.

George Costa - 8 years ago

+Calilasseia I sold him one year after the video was recorded. He was very big for my aquarium and unfortunately i had to move him out.

gabriel batistote - 9 years ago

esse aquario tem 80 litros?

George Costa - 8 years ago

+gabriel batistote
Ele tem 300 litros de display, equivalente a 80 galões.

Pierre Maranhão - 9 years ago

Não. 80 gallons equivale a 300 Litros.

Mr Cobs Corals - 12 years ago

nice aquascape....great job

ReedN70 - 12 years ago

i have a 75 gallon reef tank, and its a pain, i have a Dragon Mandarin which is absolutly stunning. usually Dragon Madarins dont like to be out in the day, but mine loves it!. but i have to do a 25% water change every week due to the Ammonia levels and Carbonite in my water, it gets a little high at some times, but its not doing quite as much as it is floruishing

morino69 - 13 years ago

wow! nice tank!!...makes me want to go back to reefing, it looks realy good!

swiss chard - 13 years ago

what kind of fish is the purple... and what is the yellow

yowzee - 13 years ago

My cat's eyes were glued to the unfolding drama of fish-swim. You took us into the world of aquarium fish. If I had to live in an aquarium, I would sure want it to be like this one. PS - You should add "cat movie" to the search tags. I bet other surfing cats would like to see this!

Mansa Musa - 13 years ago

@GCosta8 do you think a radiant wrasse,2 helfrichi firefish,3 pj cardinalfish,1 hifin red banded goby,and 1 dusky jawfish can go in a 75 gallon reef tank?

soulskyela - 13 years ago

and i just noticed you have those claw shrimp things. I had one of those and it tried to grab my blue tang and sailfin. It also did damage to their fins=( which was really bad. I was wondering are those shrimps with claws supposed to do that? or did i just got a agressive one.

joelcube - 13 years ago

amazing aquascaping :)

dellovad - 13 years ago

@soccerrox94 not true, species classified as endangered are not legal for sale in the US, not even sure they are listed on the 'threatened' list btw, nice tank Costa

you have a very beautiful salt water fish tank. I very like it.

Huzaidi Rubin - 13 years ago

This is a very nice marine aquarium. I already starting with my 20 gallon tank. At the first time is hard to keep it maintain and still learning about marine fish but from time to time it become easy and relaxing to watch.

Singularity28 - 13 years ago

Props on the epic tank. I'll be upgrading from a 20g to a 75g-100g in a couple months. So an 80g is good enough for Tangs? I hear its recomended that they have 100+ gallons.. So have you had any problems??? And also has your Hawkfish killed or attacked any of your inverts?? Cuz thats a fish Id really love to have!

cmanclan101 - 13 years ago

did you buy the corals and anenomies large? because mine arent that big and i've had them growing for about a year

Omg, i´ve seen those fish, but its the first time i see all in same tank! They look awesome! Congratulations on ur tank! its very beautiful!

SKExotics - 14 years ago

i like the engineer gobies. A pair is cool.

George Costa - 14 years ago

Yep is a Hi-hat ! "Equetus Lanceolatus"

George Costa - 14 years ago

Well i try to do 30% water changes once after two months. I clean my pumps skimmer once a month. And scrape algae from the aquarium glass at least once a weak , but that is easy with my MAG-FLOAT. I feed my fish twice a day. I have an aqua-c remora pro skimmer and i run my system sump less. I am planning an upgrade adding a sump with an overflow and a reef octopus recirculating skimmer. Than i will make new videos !!

George Costa - 14 years ago

I know that... But if you look and think in another way , I am giving my fish the best life possible and, i'm preserving the species mimicing his natural habitat and with aboundance of food.

George Costa - 14 years ago

Sure :) I Have mostly softys and lps Softys-> Green star polyps Yellow Polyps Kenya Tree Mushrooms ( Giant , spotted, green hairy, purple hairy) Ricordea Florida (Purple, Green) Zoanthus (Red , Green) Pulsing Xenia Pink Pulsing Xenia Giant (golden) Yellow polyps Lps-> Sun Coral Hammer super green coral 3 hybrid Frog and hammer corals green tips Green Trumpet coral

lovely tank and also nice music can you tell me from which album is this music

George Costa - 15 years ago

Well its a lottery . Some of them eat and some dont . But if i were you give him lots of food , like nori (japanese sushi dried algae) , spinach , lettuce , and spirulina flakes. If you give him lots of food he will bug off your corals !

climid - 15 years ago

hard to tell, thier my dads but im pretty sure his ocelars clownfish is tank bred but then again the damsel was aggresive by nature. not sure about the clarks clownfish

climid - 15 years ago

lovely tank, usually it would seem this tank would be a bit overstocked for territory but if they all get along. ive had trouble getting clownfish not to be territorial, yours seem very friendly. very nice tank, 9/10

George Costa - 15 years ago

Thanks! I bought the rocks litle by litle. And i tried to buy the right rocks that would fit and attach the way i wanted. I rearanged the rocks many times. With with lots and lots of patience and frustration sometimes (when the rocks fell of, heheh). And sometimes working for 6 hours straigt through the night to arrange the perfect fit. Now every thing is in order with the rocks placed regarding their weight, with the right pressure points, and then all is attached together with no glue !!!
