Monster Saltwater Reef Tank Coral Purchace - Part 3

In this series of videos, I documented my experiences with acquiring really big saltwater reef tank SPS corals. From picking the corals up from a Local Fish Store, that was going out of business, to acclimatizing them to my 150 gallon reef tank - I take you through all the phases.

This is a 150 gallon acrylic tank with 60 gallon sump. Wish I could get bigger but no space in this house. As a result this is a compact system in my mind... LOL

Your reef looks great, I really like the less is more approach you took. Often large reef aquariums are way too full of live rock and packed full of corals etc. The look you have is nice and open and pleasing to the eye, great job! Subscribed to your channel!

If you live near Medford maybe you can give me some suggestions on where a good salt water fish store is? I am at a loss now since he moved on.

Klemmetsmo Reefing - 8 years ago
Its my understanding that a guy bought the whole store and is moving it to Roseburg :(

+eric olsen I havent figured that out yet either, but there are a few VERY serious reefers here in town that have significant frag collections. Hit me up on Facebook

Wow are you serious. You got that from Reef Tech. I was so disappointed when he relocated. i am so happy that you were able to get some of his stuff.

Yep, thats Reef Tech stuff. I got first pick LOL. There are a few guys who were quite jealous and begging for frags. Ill prob frag out after stuff settles in. There are other guys who spent way way more than me. You know we have that FB page here in town right? Hardly anyone uses it though: https://www.facebook.com/groups/soreefenthusiast/

I must say, though, balancing out the water is proving to be tricky. These guys suck up a lot more carbonate.

Hey great video. Was wondering were all these colonies growing at your LFS? their store looks pretty interesting would make for a good video? I found it interesting at the start how many LEDs they had covering their big tank. They seemed to of had complete cover spread with so many lights. Would be interesting to hear their views on LED spread. Most people moan about LEDs due to poor spread. But I think this is because you simply need a lot more than the average user uses. For example the key to success is having every inch of your tank covered in leds, don't expect say one hydra 52 unit to cover 2ft squared.
Keep the vids coming

That store went out of business, hence my purchase of some of their 10yr old display corals. I run the same lights as him - modified ecoray 60d.
