That's simply amazing. Large colonies with the fish swimming around- loved it
 
Incredible tank! Great work!!
 
Great, now I need to go buy an underwater camera! Awesome tank and great video.
 
Those are some beautiful colonies! Thanks for the vid!

I think I only saw a 1"x1" square piece of tank space that didn't have something in it. You may need to go buy a frag or 2.

Just kidding, the video was great, thank you for sharing.

haha, thanks Tom. Yeah, I use tonga branch and acrylic rods to squeeze in as many frags as I can. I'm definitely a coral hoarder.
SAAAAWEEEEET!

Awesome video!

Awesome video, coral, and fish. One of my pintail wrasse loves coming up and seeing what I'm doing near the top.
That's funny, mine is very personable. He would be an easy wrasse to catch if I had to.
Beautiful colors

Corals and color are gorgeous!

Love this video

Excellent growth. I think I would go nuts if I were a fish, having to live with all the noise of the pumps and stuff! Lord!!!
I actually never thought of this until you mentioned it. It actually makes me want to find something quieter than MP40s.
Beautiful. Congrats on all of your success!

Wow great video! Thanks for sharing, and congrats on the beautiful tank!

Totally awesome! Inspiring. Thanks!

Great video. :)

Stunning display of mature acro yumminess Conor, you should be very proud mate :)

fantastic reef. what is your light combo? thickness and grain size that you used to the sandy bottom?
I use ATI blue+ coral+ and purple+ bulbs. I'm using a mixture of sands and I'm not sure the grain size. It's between coarse and fine I would say.
Jesus what an inspiration!!!!! I've seen the video like 5 times. What is that huge stag in the middle? Gotta find me one of those!:D Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I believe you are referring to my Cali Tort. It's a very fast grower and has survived all of my mistakes.

Beautiful tank! What is your water change regimen, dosing, reactor set up?

WOW! Incredible acros and tank. You're a master reefer, for sure!!!

Amazing, thank you for sharing.

Can you let us in on the husbandry of the tank .. lights . skimmer . salt . additives .

Beautiful. I love full mature colonies of SPS!

Thanks everyone for checking out my video and thank you for the kind feedback!

My display tank is a 190 gallon DSA which is plumbed into a large tub I use as a sump and a 50 gallon frag tank. My system is very simple. I use an 8 bulb ATI fixture with reefbrite strips added on. For flow I use 4 mp40s each working independently at about 80%. I have two return pumps for redundancy. I use an oversized skimmer which I believe is rated for up to 1200 gallons. I am a heavy feeder so this skimmer was needed. I feed my fish up to 5 times a day with various frozen foods and seafood from the grocery store. The only thing I dose into my tank is B-Ionic 2 part and I'm at about 220 ml/day at the moment. I do have some matrix in my sump for added surface area for bacteria and I'm considering buying a reactor to put that in, but in the meantime it's in large bags. Carbon is run passively in a bag in the sump and I change out about 1.5 cups a month. I do weekly 10% water changes using Reef Crystals. I think that's about it, very simple setup.
 
Awesome video Conor, such a different perspective that I am yet to see from your tank, looks freaking amazing, the corals are huge! Thanks for sharing buddy!
 
WOW, is all I have to say. Absolutely stunning corals. I love that "hairy" green mille, tremendous polyp extension. Thanks for sharing!!!
 
Awesome video. Sweet tank and makes me want to buy a GoPro to use on mine.

4 blu plus 3 coral plus and 1 purple plus? sand as you clean it? how high is the bottom?
 
You may have already heard this, but that is a gorgeous tank!

What is that dark wrasse with red eyes and a sapphire blue tail who makes brief and cautious appearances? Good looking animal!

~Bruce, who probably already has too many wrasses . . .

Yes, I believe that is my light combo at the moment. I don't clean my sand, I have a couple sand sifting starfish and a bunch of nasarius snails that do a pretty good job. My tank is 27" tall and my t5s are able to grow corals on the sand.
Beautiful colonies. Whats the specs? Setup? Anything special you're doing?
Thank you, I'm not doing anything special. I posted a brief description above but my system is as simple as it gets. Just the basics
Awesome video! I love that Echinata!

WOW! Thanks for the awesome video and info on your setup. You have some epic colonies!

Thanks Bruce! The fish you are referring to is a Katherine's wrasse. it has gotten much darker since being in my tank. It had red in it when I bought him.
which GoPro version are you using ?
I have the Hero 4. I've been happy with it so far.

Thanks again everyone for checking out the video and for the kind comments :)
