Video: 20,000g Reef

[melev]

New video is finally uploaded, and I'm glad I got it done at last. This is a 20000g reef that has been running for 15 years. Joe Yaiullo has been tending to it, making sure it stays healthy and happy since its inception. He was interviewed so you could learn how he does it. This is a one hour video, so heads up.

You will have a great time. I have a bunch of footage of the rest of the place, but don't know if it's a good upload for my channel.

this was a great video!!! loved the behind the scenes....I live in NY so ive been to this aquarium a few times, this video just made me appreciate it more, thanks!

I'm so glad you guys are liking it. I started editing a while back, but I'm my own worst critic. I got very busy with work and it has to be put on hold, and I knew it would take two solid hours to finish editing. Well, yesterday I made myself tackle this overdue project, and the more I worked on it the better I liked it. I got excited. So here are some stats:

• It took a total of 10 hours of editing to get it ready to compile.
• 45 minutes to export a 9 gig file (that's massive compared to previous videos)
• 4.5 hours to upload it to Youtube

Very glad it is done and off my To Do list.

A joy to watch! Very well done.. And a very welcome video after i feel like i've seen every good reef related video on youtube, but I probably didn't

Thanks Marc. Joe actually spoke at our local clubs' reef conference last year. Great guy and great presentation. Amazing setup and I'd love to make it up there at some point to see it in person. Great video.

 

[melev]

Glad y'all are enjoying this as much as I'd hoped.

Great Job Marc let's everyone visit the tank from their home. I don't travel to NY that much and when I do I have never had the free time to go see the tank as much as I would like too.

Thanks for taking the time to put that together. Awesome video, just watched the whole thing.

Watched it last night after crawling in bed, and today I overslept. Worth it! It doesn't feel like an hour when you're watching, because it's so intriguing. What a treat for those of us who've not seen this tank in person. Of course, now I really want to go! Must plan a trip sometime.

Thank you sir for sharing this amazing video. Also tanks to owner for letting you film this, specially overtank. Jawdroping. Any inputs on how many KH,Mg and Ca that tank consumes on daily basis ?

Amazing video @melev! Thank you for sharing it!

I would love to get Joe Yaiullo over here to talk about the reef and anything else he wants to discuss!

If dosing 55-gallons of kalkwasser every 30 hours isn't noteworthy, any other numbers would be pointless. lol Using large reactors, the key additives are added around the clock. He did indicate that he uses maybe 10-gallons of Strontium per year.
