I have corals that are so big size of basketballs how do I sell them .my son left the tank for me to look after when he went to collage that was 10 years ago.

Than my man, what the hell are you wearing bro? Is that a leisure suit vest? lmfao

How about breeding fish, and sell them similar to selling frags on a small scale and relatively easy but highly sorted breed (certain clowns, Banggai)?

Tidal Gardens Inc. - 6 years ago

That is a great one I totally forgot! If you are good at breeding fish, that's certainly a route you can go with your system to generate some funds.

All the fish you have in the tanks are they there to perform a task in the Tank?

6: start charging admission to your fish room

Excellent vibe and energy. Maybe you should do all of your vids while standing up.
It didn't seem like you were in a pizza coma and slurring your speech.

Very informative, Than you're the best

Be careful with youtube monetization. Often youtubers shit post as many videos as possible for clicks and paychecks. Content is king and quality trumps quantity. When the youtube monetization goes away only the real genuine uploaders will remain and the fake flakes will vanish.

Nice watch.

John Tsai - 6 years ago

Awesome information!! Thanks for the helpful advice!

Somehow, whenever I try this, I always end up spending more than I make. My wife reminds me of this every time I try to explain why I "needed" to buy this new coral.

Hi, Tan
You mentioned that a combination of MH and T5s is better for Coral growing!
Why do you think other companies like WWC use only Radions?

Reefer Dave - 6 years ago

I'll try #4. #5 sounds terrible. Lol.

Jbueno - 6 years ago

Good tips thanks , and you are right I learned about tidal gardens through you tube

I run a reefer 170. No problems until now. My filter sock is clogging up with some kind of clear slime. Brand new socks clog within 8 hours. Water quality appears to be good. Fish and everything are fine. Test kits show no ammo or nitrate. Any ideas?

Sven Hoeppermanns - 6 years ago

Ryan Simmons sorry, were i live it would be a 170g , thanks for the info

Joaquin Fernandez - 6 years ago

Get out of the hobby before you go broke.

Ryan Simmons - 6 years ago

James Towns using 225 micron socks. Used to not have this issue. I could run several days before needing to clean it out.

Ryan Simmons - 6 years ago

A reefer 170 is a 43g system

James Towns - 6 years ago

Have you checked phosphate levels? Hanna checker is best to use for this as it gives a digital reading. Do you know your micron rating for the filter sock 10 micron is small and fills up quick where as a 150 micron sock would last longer

Sven Hoeppermanns - 6 years ago

5 gallons is way short of what it should be. at least 10% should be changed a week , or 20% every 2 weeks

Ryan Simmons - 6 years ago

Also the tank is about 6 to 8 months old. Change 5 gallons once a week. Very confused. Please advise

Inappropriate Reefer - 6 years ago

Lots of great info here, thanks!

I have a carbon fibre tank which is about 80 gallons and I'm thinking of converting it into a saltwater pond but only have live rock and fish in there. No corals. I already have a reef tank but I feel like buying cowfish and lionfish to keep in the pond. Is that a good idea? Cause of I do that I can move my green spotted puffers to the pond as well. I can't decide between keeping some predator fish or just keeping clowns and a school of chromis I can't decide ahhhhh

Great subject and video. Nice cameo of Rico's reeftank

Bob's Reef Tank - 6 years ago

As always another great video. I've always struggled with being able to get my hobby to support itself, it takes a lot of effort and time, the best I've achieved is supplemental income. I'll never give up my dream of actually making money in this hobby.

Tim Webb - 6 years ago

Option 5: Sell blood plasma, because all of those other methods are a crap shoot.

googIereallysucks - 6 years ago

I'm very curious how you got into setting up the farm. How did you transition from a hobby to a business.

RealWorldReefing - 6 years ago

Great video Than! Not a lot of content out on this subject. Well done!

Cesca's Reef - 6 years ago

Nice video with some good ideas :)

Badda Boom - 6 years ago

did you get into selling corals from the hobby? and how long did it take for you get this far

Tidal Gardens Inc. - 6 years ago

I was in the hobby since I was very little, so something like 30 years give or take. The business was started over 10 years ago.

Scott From Rosco's Reef - 6 years ago

great video Than and lots of great tips and recommendations. The new camera is great and I love the clip showing you getting ready for the Halloween live sale.

Tidal Gardens Inc. - 6 years ago

That Halloween Live Sale is always a lot of fun. Glad you liked it.
