Thank you for all the nice comments. I knew it would be really important to get the right information as well as how it was edited. Many of you mentioned that specifically, and it made all that hard work worthwhile.

I asked Joe about the angelfish, or lack thereof. He's reading your comments and here's his reply: "I had pairs of Emperator (Pomacanthus imperator), Blue face (Pomacanthus xanthometopon), and Annularis (Pomacanthus annularis) for about eight years while pushing the envelope of what fish to keep. While it pained me to pull them out, I felt it was necessary to do when getting back to more smaller fish and new corals. They were for the most part model citizens and only nip at some of the existing corals, but would chow down on some of the newer corals I'd try to introduce to the tank. They never bothered SPS and I'd highly recommend them for established SPS tanks. I appreciate all the nice comments as well. It's nice to read! The focus now is Genicanthus angelfish." - Joe Yaiullo, Feb 2 2016

Well, you've got me inspired to go do some work on my puny 150g. Great video!

Loved the video. I listened to the whole thing while doing some homework. Can't wait to see what he finds about the Genicanthus angels.

Did you get to see the reef gen aquaculture area? This place is very local to me and I've gone there since I was a baby, just recently took a school trip there meeting joe and going "behind the scenes" of the aquarium. Awesome place and really awesome aquaculture farm

I did, and filmed that for another video. Still have to gather up some facts and get that put together into something interesting to see.

No, I think that's the foot of one of the many anemones on that rock. Or a lighting thing.

Fantastic video and interview. Your editing was very well done and worth the effort you put into it for sure. A new must see spot next time I'm in NY.
