Wow! more tanks than i imagined. I can't even fathom the cost to maintain and supply them all. Curious, who maintains all those tanks and how much salt is used in a month ? ( I now see the motivation to go TRITON )
thanks for tour and all the hard work.

What do you guys think of the orphek?? Which version of the atlantik is that? Do you plan on testing it in one of your review videos?

Something else i noticed was all the rock, where those wagonwheel sized plates ? I did noticed the rubble and will be getting enough to do a 6'x2' tank

Someone read my mind with the rock rubble substrate for a shallow reef tank. I was also thinking of using calcium reactor media, the small rounded rubble would settle nicely and still provide some flow but the cost to fill a 6'x 2' @1.5" made that unrealistic. Does anyone tumble LR rubble ?

I live near BRS. I visited their old address and they were as cordial as could be. I'm thrilled you were able to show us these photos. Thanks!

Oh, man, I would LOVE to go see that place! I think I need to work in an office where I can have a tank on my desk and water for water changes provided by the company!

I've been poring over their website for a couple of years, keeping track of pricing patterns for when I can finally start buying. I think I'll try to snag my first few pieces of reef equipment in some Black Friday sales! If I can work enough overtime, I can get my build going in the spring!

That's so cool! I wish I could meet Ryan. I've learned so much from their videos and he's my favorite host!

Ugh, dream office for sure. So happy to see them do so well over the last few years. Absolutely my go to company and they have honestly revolutionized the hobby by providing access to cheap bulk two part, carbon, and GFO and now continue to do so with BRS TV. Great to see a small business run by hobbyists turn into a major player in the hobby.
