Switching From Neptune APEX to GHL Profilux 4

Change can be a difficult thing and over the years I have certainly had my moments of resisting it…..this is true for life in general and, specifically, the reef aquarium hobby.

Field trip to Nathan’s Reef Tank

This video is a field trip to my friend Nathan’s. His tank is a mixed reef that I have visited several times over the past five years or so. Initially I was worried that you guys might be sick of seeing another video of his tank, but I double checked and the last one I published was 3 years ago!

Tidal Gardens Field Trip to Will’s Tank

Every now and again I like to take a field trip to other people’s aquariums, especially some of the local hobbyists that purchased corals from us. Will has two aquariums, a 75-gallon mixed reef and a 275-gallon SPS dominated tank both running some variation of Aquaforest. Let’s take a look. #tidalgardens #coral #reeftank #reefaquarium Music: Tracks: “Peace of Mind” Artist: Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) License Terms: Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Video: Camera Gear List on Amazon Canon C200 Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS macro Canon EF MP-E 65mm f/2.8 macro Sigma Art 18-35mm f/1.8 Free Fly Movi Pro Stabilizer Kessler Crane Motorized Slider Copyright Information: This video was shot and edited by Tidal Gardens.

Micromussa Coral Care Tips

Micromussa are one of the most popular large polyp stony corals ever since some amazing specimens started showing up from Australia about a decade ago. Until recently, this was an Acanthastrea lordhowensis. In this video I’ll cover some care tips as far as placement, lighting, feeding, and all that good stuff. #tidalgardens #coral #reeftank #reefaquarium #micromussa #acanthastrea Music: Tracks: “Peace of Mind” Artist: Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) License Terms: Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Video: Camera Gear List on Amazon Canon C200 Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS macro Canon EF MP-E 65mm f/2.8 macro Sigma Art 18-35mm f/1.8 Free Fly Movi Pro Stabilizer Kessler Crane Motorized Slider Copyright Information: This video was shot and edited by Tidal Gardens.
