    Probably the most beautiful tank ive seen, I don't normally like inwall tanks because I feel it removes you from the tank and sort of turns it into a painting on a wall but this is amazing. And the room around it is beautiful as well. Great video

      I have the same feeling but the overall design of his tank and space really goes well together in my opinion.

    Greetings from Phoenix, Arizona! Brother, this was the highlight of my month lol. This tank is absolutely stunning. To see a reef tank this old is nothing incredibly special and very very few people will ever achieve. I truly wish you could interview him on his start in reefing all the way to now. Great video, it really means the world that you brought this tank to light. Thank you

      P.s. I know I mentioned it in my comment above. Knowledge and history is getting lost everyday. Alot of the older generation dosent pass down their knowledge and experience because they don't have an outlet or their family isn't interested enough to listen. However, there are many people including myself that would watch this old man talk for an hour or more about his experiences and his life......more specifically his reef tank. Please interview this man about what reefing was like 40 years ago, his trials and tribulations with his tank, and where his tank is now. I'm sure alot of reefers would appreciate it. It would allow millions of people the access the beauty of his tank and how he has been successful......sorry long winded PS Comment but I wanted to at least ask

      Hey there bud! Glad you appreciated the video!
      That’s a great idea and I I’ll definitely talk to him about it…but I’m sure he would be game.
      I’ll just have to figure out a decent format for it as he doesn’t speak English. Perhaps I could do the entire thing in Swedish and somehow put in subtitles or something.

      @viking_reefing  28 днів тому

      Yeah bro. I’ll do a more in-depth interview with him at some point as soon as I’ve figured out a good format. Him not speaking English makes it a bit more challenging.

    Fantastic video, tank & room. Really great to see a proper established tank in a room and style that isn't just another clone from social media. It's great that we have such easy access to information & products/livestock today but I do feel the modern incarnation of this hobby looks so corporate and repetitive compared to the reefing aesthetics pre smartphone era.

    • @viking_reefing
      @viking_reefing  28 днів тому

      Yeah bud. This dude is anything but standard haha.
      And talk about an established tank…40 freaking years!
      I completely agree. I started at the turn of the millennium and there was so much more diversity in tanks back then.

      Dogma. Some people don’t like actual reef fish being their reef tanks. They are fixated on just the corals. Their tanks are depraved and don’t look anything like an actual coral reef. Very weird. I don’t understand this mentality. So called fish only tanks are ugly and unnatural.

    • @coralreef909
      @coralreef909 27 днів тому

      Why continue to forcibly spread such a blatant lie and effectively get most reef aquarist to avoid keeping large angels and even butterflies in their reef aquariums? You have to wonder about their agenda in promoting such a lie. Maybe some coral keepers are anti fish and create false rumors to justify their decision to not keep,large reef fish with corals.

  • @ahrondinar8782
    @ahrondinar8782 29 днів тому +1

    Absolutely amazing please please tell us more about his methods how he used to do stuff back in the days and over the years exept the big water changes that you mentioned he does
    How he managed with the angles and especially with the butterflies there that know to eat literally everything like the golden one and maybe more that i wasn't aware are there...
    This is a pure gold of knowledge from a very few people out there to learn as much as possible as long as they exist...

    • @viking_reefing
      @viking_reefing  28 днів тому

      I’ll do an in-depth interview with him at some point. In terms of the angels and butterflies what the prevailing idea is about them is pure nonsense. They do completely fine with corals provided the tank is big and they get feed enough :)
