Let's Talk Corals: Encrusting Montiporas!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 гру 2016
- For this episode, we drove up to Plant City, Florida to ACI Aquaculture to see and learn about their enormous collection of aquacultured montiporas.
We were quickly captivated by the vibrant colors of these beauties and asked Chris to share few things with us about these amazing corals. Learn from the pros and if you haven't tried these corals in your tank, be sure to give them a try!
Enjoy! - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
This was one of the better aquarium or coral videos that I've seen. This guy delivered a good depth of information with little/no dead time or rambling. It's like he had a script or rehearsed ahead of time, which lots of people seem to fail to do.
Nic Chauvin thanks for the compliment! Believe it or not, this was all on the fly. This is what he does pretty much 24/7 and it comes naturally for him.
I did not look for this but it showed up right on time.
Excellent coloration!
Awesome channel! Thank you!
Montiporas very cool corals!!!
Loved this video
The montipora factory👍
Great video. Thank you!
You are welcome!
ATI Blue Plus! One of the best bulbs out there!!! T5s are so good!
Just wanted to let you know you guys ROCK. I used the Bayer complete and worked like a charm on some flatworms. If it wasn't for your vid I wouldn't of known. Thanks and this will stay in my arsenal for all my corals.
Richard Huff thanks Richard. It really makes my day to hear that it has helped you!

Richard Huff Great advice! What should the Bayer mix ratio be? Should I use fresh water or salt water? Thanks in advance
Your vids really help..thank u
Lito you are very welcome!
Love my monty's. Now dip after nudi scare. Unfortunately read my test wrong and overdosed calcium and mag for a few months. Lost my orange Mony and gold pocilapora. Also good coral.
Great video. How long do you recommend for quarantine after the dip?
6 year is the best
that was a tight video
Any tips on a good valve for kalk dripping?
Are you running only ati blue plus for bulbs?
OMG that is a huge frag tank
Multicolor wrasse :)
Like Zoanthids, etc, can I freshwater dip the Montiporas for like 10-15 min? I have never dipped or quarantined my Montiporas, and I've been lucky so far.
No, unfortunately i dont recommend dipping any sps corals on fresh water. I recommend using coral dips such as revive from two little fishies.
I dont understand how people like these corals or maybe I just dont know enough since I am new to the hobby. They just look like chunk of flesh on a plug! When the encrusting grow what happens? They just cover the rock and its pretty flat? Can you then add something over top of the encrusting rock? That would look cool!
Everyone has different taste Karen. They will encrust the rock and mostly stay flat. You can put something on top but it will eventually encrust over that as well.
Will potassium help all red and blue corals such as acans and chalice corals or just sps
Good question. Let me verify!
Great vid... Love the info... But what is with the audio on your videos... It pops and distorts bad
Chrissy Cronin hi, thanks for checking out the video. this video is filmed last year and im not sure if you have been to whole sale facilities but there are too much pumps, fans and other wireless equipments that causes too much noises and interferences. I have since then bought new equipments and made adjustments accordingly. Check out the newer videos for same great info and better audio. :)
How much of the insecticide you use per gallon and how many wrasse you recommend per gallon as well?
Because it's not made for aquarium use, you won't find directions like that. For me, i have used until water became milky and has worked well. On wrasses, its never messured per gallon. You add one, if it does it's job and you dont see any flatworms? Great. If you still see some, add one more and monitor.
what would cause a white film-like growth on a monti?
How much Bayer do you use, say like in a gallon of water?
Richard Huff hey, there really isn't a set rules for it, however I put enough so that it gets really cloudy and unable to really see the water.
Thanks for the info. 👍👍
my pleasure!

Do you have a video of you dipping corals?
hi, no i do not. I thought it was pretty self explanatory but if you guys want it, I can make one. :)

I did see or hear how strong you make your dip mix
Or how long you dip for
What's your opinion on freshwater dipping?
On Bayer, as it's insecticide and not a dip, there is no said instructions. I usually pout until the water becomes milky white in dipping container and leave it in there for 10 mins. I stir regularly and shake the corals every few mins to shake off stunned or dead parasites. I usually don't do any freshwater dips unless it's zoanthids and only if they are fully closed.

Thank you for your time and info
This will help me out in the long run as I add me corals
Rick Buffum no problem at all! I'm glad to hear that I was able to help you.
I owned a maxima clam for 5 month think it's time to get sps
You can do it!
they move the camera so fast you cant actually see anything and the sound constantly cuts out.
thank you for taking your time to comment. This is one video that's on my redo list. I will get to it as soon as I can! Much better audio, video and settings then 6 years ago I promise.
Some things have changed in three years. 😄 Chris and Richard need to do an update!!
For sure!!!!
Such as?
sub on that!
Is that blue coralline algae I see???
where? if you are talking about the title pic, it's montipora.
No it’s on the plugs. I think it’s the lighting
Corey Orr I think so too. :)
Never buy a lunar wrasse though. Unless you like nightmares...
Freeyourmind haha agreed.
All of your videos the sound is so low you can barely hear you
Thanks for watching James. This was 5 year old video and audio has been addressed since then. :) I also don't shoot on the open floor of his farm where there is so much ambient noise on the background 😂
they look like the deformed strawberries I grow
hahaha i guess i can see that.
frantic camera panning and various sound problems
I'm part of the fresh water side of the hobby, I don't remember how I got here, but boy am I confused. Don't get me wrong, I think the salt water side of the hobby is SUPER cool, but I have no idea about ANY of the terminology that he's using.
Larissa Osteen glad to have you here. Trust me, I will feel the same way about freshwater side haha.
Fix your audio.
Mercy S hi. listen, I understand that you just watched this video from 2016. Audio has been addressed since. You don't have to go to multiple videos to leave the same comment. I got the message on your other two lol. Hope you enjoy the future contents. Have a great day.
reefs -- I thought it was an awesome video. Boom!
thanks Franco!
