Hey Matt, thanks for all the great content! Very fun to watch another reefers journey. At 6:35 in the video there looks to be like a sand seahorse, what is that thing?

YVAN HANSSEN - 7 years ago

Wonderful

I have wondered if it's possible to maintain my hobby if I live in China. Your tank looks amazing!

the JaYoe Nation - 7 years ago

sure... if you have a good LFS around... its possible... you can get a lot on line.

the JaYoe Nation - 8 years ago

15:28 where do you get that seeweed? Does it grow in your refugium?

Franklin Michael - 8 years ago

+the JaYoe Nation oh ok, thanks

the JaYoe Nation - 8 years ago

we buy the seaweed from a food store.. its fresh unsalted and unflavored seaweed.

Sahand Kolahian - 8 years ago

at 11:13 what are those things in the sand?

the JaYoe Nation - 8 years ago

not sure... just small organisms... give your sand some time and they will pop up everywhere.

matt you do awsome vids i set up a 200 gal reef tank about 5 months ago cant wait to start putting corals in it

the JaYoe Nation - 8 years ago

awesome. its always fun doing the setup!

Maegan de - 8 years ago

what are does worms in the sand how did you get them?

the JaYoe Nation - 8 years ago

they are microorganisms that come in the live sand... live rock...... and as the tank matures they grow as well...

Dave Davis - 8 years ago

I really enjoyed this video. I often wonder how others feed their tank inhabitants. Your videos are a pleasure to watch, you share your experiences and give some insight into your philosophy on reef keeping. Thanks for sharing.

the JaYoe Nation - 8 years ago

thanks dave... glad you like them. Yea... i wonder how others feed as well.

Jonathan Gonzales - 8 years ago

Beks Hollis - 8 years ago

Amazing tank!

the JaYoe Nation - 8 years ago

thanks!

maine932 - 8 years ago

I love the idea of how you stacked the rocks...consider the idea stolen. Further, at the 6:13 mark of the video there is a coral to the bottom right of the screen, would you tell me the name? I am one of those newbies that want 1 of everything. The look of your tank, as with others is the reason I am starting this hobby...It is so addicting.

the JaYoe Nation - 8 years ago

the green coral?.... I'm not sure of the name. Ill try to find it.

Jihua Liu - 8 years ago

Hey Matt don't stop video you tank, you can update us once every month, the video doesn't have to be any coaching or event, just an update of thing would be nice too. man u spend hell of money on ur reef tank. wondering how much you make lol

the JaYoe Nation - 8 years ago

Hercules the crab remains on free foot still or have you found him yet? What a sneaky little bugger! :) He should be named Hercules the ninja crab. Please tell me if you have found him. Im too curious!

Super amazing tank by the way :)

Seige Gaming - 8 years ago

Rogger Castells, creator of "Rogger's Reef Food", also makes his own fish food; and he's disclosed the recipe here: https://youtu.be/gJkRuq5-ac0

I just binge watched your series. Your reef is truly amazing. it is great to see the King make his way through all the ups and downs that tank has gone through. Your tank makes me want to start my own. I know there is a lot of skill... patience.... and especially LOVE that goes into the reef. Your system definitely shows how much love and care you put into it. I have an 85 gallon tank sitting in the front room i want to make into a reef but I do not have the skill just yet! You also have an amazing camera to capture the intense color of everything.

the JaYoe Nation - 9 years ago

+impenitentkilla Love is # 1 i think.... if you have the passion... then you automatically will pour your life into it... for sure... You could do it... i started with a 60g... then 100g... then 120g... then up and up and up... haha

TheBtyhuntr - 9 years ago

Thanks for the information, what a great tank! You got a deep sand bed. Do you ciphon it out ? Or does it require another maintenance?

the JaYoe Nation - 9 years ago

+TheBtyhuntr never clean the sand.... its an ecosystem... all you have to do is keep the nutrients and fresh saltwater going in... and your all set... just like nature.

Nicolas Jordan - 9 years ago

keep going Matt! so great your advice!!

Dee From Brooklyn - 9 years ago

Great seeing the update. Foods have changed a lot in the past few years. Much more science in fish food now especially in coral care. Any foods you've stopped using?

Dee From Brooklyn - 9 years ago

+the JaYoe Nation i started shutting the powerheads down with feed mode so as not to waste the zooplankton and pods. my shrimp had been having a field day

the JaYoe Nation - 9 years ago

+Dee From Brooklyn have not really stopped using anything... of course flakes i dont... but i have tried to add as much Copepods and smaller proteins...

happy93384 - 9 years ago

Is this a glass tank and how many gallons dimensions

the JaYoe Nation - 9 years ago

+happy93384 here... you can see all my tank details here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaJk8K5ZxCQ&list=PLCXSKSR1qp-vQAUeuFaIuV-BfbXw-Mx1N&index=1

i miss Neil :( you should get a new ribbon eel or would it eat your smaller fish?

the JaYoe Nation - 9 years ago

+RubenXB0X360 its not that he would eat... he is just a master of escape... hard to keep them from finding a way out.

James McDANIEL - 9 years ago

Tank you! That was fun to watch.

dbkguy - 9 years ago

They way you talked about your tank and feeding gave me a totally different view when looking at a fish tank. That's a good thing. Very beautiful fish tank you have their.

Betta Plakat - 9 years ago

Hey do you use a calcium reactor? Or nitrate filters anything fancy? Or do you just keep your tank simple?

the JaYoe Nation - 9 years ago

+raymarc japson I actually have a calcium reactor.... the tank and the reactor are sitting in the corner of the office... unused. I think they would be nice, but i was always nervous about calibrating them and worrying about if they went awry. I leave on a lot of trips... and if nature adjusts things... i can deal... but if the calcium reactor causes my PH or levels to go nuts.... it just seems to risky.... So i do dose.... and have a large fresh water top off system..but other than that... no.

Where can I get goldpods?! Mind sending me some!

xFecto - 9 years ago

+the JaYoe Nation thanks Matt! No one have them locally! It maybe because it's a uk brand

the JaYoe Nation - 9 years ago

+xFecto I think you should be able to get them in the USA.. they are a great product... great color and consistency...http://premiumaquatics.com/products/nyos-goldpods.html

mitian - 9 years ago

Another excellent video, great shots, sometimes those video shots makes it look like if you are taking video of a another planet... nice colors....I am glad you have been posting more videos lately... ...My tank is way smaller than yours not as nice and not as many corals either but I only feed my corals once a week. what I do is that I throw daily vitachem like 6 drops in the water when I feed the fish and I feed them plankton very small amount every 3 o 4 days... I guess that could be making a big difference, but I am afraid I can mess everything up ha ha ha. Have a good one and keep making those videos they are pretty cool.

mitian - 9 years ago

No kidding, must be awesome top just adventure all around the world., planets wow...

the JaYoe Nation - 9 years ago

+mitian yea.... its like another world. i imagine if we visited another planet... some of the creatures would look very similar..

8 Bit Aquarium - 9 years ago

God, your video's are amazing as always. The quality of the work you put into your videos, simply astound me.

the JaYoe Nation - 9 years ago

+Randy Nguyen I always like to think about what i would like to see if i was looking at some guy's videos. I try to put as much knowledge into each video as i can. Having great lenses helps a lot too.. :) thanks for watching.
