Thanks dad ..
You are indeed a nice guy. Wish more were like you. Not just in this hobby but across the board in life. Keep up the good work.
I do like your videos. Definitely make me think! Just about to start a new marine LPS aquarium after 10 years in the hobby, 4 tanks, mixed results. I'm definitely sat in the middle slump on the chart, and have been watching a whole load of videos from beginner to expert on YT to try and nail this next one!!
Refreshing point of view!!
Great stuff! 🙌🏻
I agree with everything you said here. Also hi ✌🏾
I've had a marine aquarium since 1991 and still learning !!
You’re right Ryan, there are different ways to achieve success with an individual’s reef tank. In this hobby you are constantly learning and in return helping others through your successes and failures..
Well said brother
Spot on!
this pertains to most all club/knowledge based internet forums. w/o good moderating, things get out of hand quick and who has the time to moderate 24/7...
new sub!
I'ld love to take you up on ur consult I would rate myself a 1/10
Subscribed! Love the content‼️ Keep it up & don’t let Reef Dork catch you😂
keep up the good work!
Good job mate
My daily learning routine consists on what's wrong and how to fix. Reality its a slow fix but I will get there.
The best aquarist I worked with professionally was Gavin at Neil Hardy. And he openly had other aquarist he learnt from and admired. As an ex so called professional aquarist I would give myself a 5 on a bad day and a 7 peaking
In the video you mentioned something about cycling differently and stuff like that. In my tank i can keep different stuff to my dad, like shrimp and soft corals. But in his tank he can keep sps and i cant, i tried them, my water quality is almost perfect. I think it is due to lighting, i have one of the best lights but its turned down due to the huge electric bill we have. Good video :). Also you mentioned something about people commenting on things they havent kept, such as an achilles tang. We keep one. But numb skulls who havent kept one decide to talk rubbish about them, same with copperbands and generally difficult fish to kept, so much misinformation. In my book, you should listen to someone who has kept that fish successfully for a long period of time. That even classes for clownfish too, sometimes they can be little swines too.
Great video topic! After watching this I would say my knowledge is a 5. Right in the middle or average.
Ok ok ok. I'm a 10/10 in looks🤣 but in reefing, well..... I truly believe I'm a 4 where I cracked the entry level 1.5 year. I know what I'm doing but for ever learning and tweaking. Like I said I know what I'm doing till it is all going bad. Those that think there expert's will truly tell you there's so much more to learn.
Been watching your videos for a couple weeks. Enjoying them thank you
Solid 3 lol maybe a 4 in fresh water but 3 as it stands for the salt water hobby
the Dunning-Kruger effect - “whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a certain type of a task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge.” Sounds like the forums a lot
Great video. My first thought was that I rated me as 7 but since you’re 7 I can’t be more than 5 😀. I started with a 20 gallon 12 years ago and now have had a 90 gallon for 2 years. Sad to admit that my 20 gallon seemingly looked more successful even at a time where I had very little knowledge compared to now. I’ll keep trying at least.
Deliberating if I should start this hobby. I guess I'm still left of mount stupid and dreading the confident mistakes I'd make.
5 i can keep most corals alive and my tank seems to be stable. im getting decent sps growth but i cant seem to keep tangs alive for very long
6.74 for me.👍🏾
I wish your headline was true
I think I'm a 3 or 4 at a push purely because I've had both great success and great failure in the hobby due to the peaks and pitfalls in my knowledgeand husbandry, the true test will be asking me again in 10 years and see if that number moves at all
i removed the 0.3 cause i forgot to do some stuff
We've bought so much either fish or corals throughout the years and they just die. :(
2-3 maybe
Very intelligent guy, well done. I’m a student in life but especially in this hobby. If you want to help me give me a shout.
Im in the new born baby newb reefkeeper class but im mates with a marine biologist soooooooo.. . .
Honestly, probably a 5. I am good with my tank and its particular system and consumption, but I honestly don't know if you could give me a different system and I would have success. Some corals like brain or meaty corals just hate me. I kill GSP and xenia, but grow clams and sps fine. I am not in a financial place to experiment endlessly, either. But I know what I am good at and I know my comfort zone, so I just stay in my lane for now. It does cast doubt on my ability to help and coach other people, though, because their systems are not my system.
I'm a 2 and that's being generous 🤣
Id rate myself at a 5 because u need to learn and will learn so much more
I hate the learning curve of being a reefer. Everyone has killed corals. I been reefing for about seven years and I still think I'm a novice, well, maybe slightly higher than a novice. I still can't grow gsp. I try to learn and challenge myself, but sometimes I just don't have the right environment for certain corals and I'm ok with that

4/10 for me. 1 year in and I feel like I know a lot. I also know enough that I have years of learning yet to do.
Ive gotta take issue with the Marine Biology Degree Aquarist, some of the most successful reef tanks are privately owned by aquarists that have learnt not through schools but through experience and discussion with other aquarists. ( Like your self)
Nearly every public Aquarium reef tank ( maintained by Marine biologists) that I've seen, is very average looking with drab corals, bleached corals, over abundance of pest corals and more often than not aptaisia and diatoms. There are tanks on UA-cam, run by amateur aquarists, that are way better looking and thriving.
As for myself, i dont think i can ascribe a number - I've spawned some marine fish (7) but I've never kept clams (0) cephlapods (0) or tangs (0) eels (0) parrot fish (0) large angels (0) triggerfish (0) fairy wrasse (0) hawkfish (0)
I'm good with certain sps and failed with other sps species ( 3). Ive been very successful with some of my favourite fish species - blennies, gobies, dragonets, anglerfish (6.7) but not with others - pipefish, seahorse, butterfly fish, filefish.(2). I've never had a tank crash from unknown causes but i have because of slack maintenance.
I've never fragged a SPS (0) but i have successfully raised marine comet fry (7), damsel fish fry (8). Macro algae (5)
I think when it comes to successful reef tanks 90% of us are 4-5 in general but have higher scores with the particular.
I get what you're saying but you haven't been to stunning public aquariums. There are some with displays that are amazing. And freshwater, and brackish, and Northern/Southern Hemisphere. This is where being a marine biologist is desirable. Maintaining all of these environments and knowing enough to manage them on a level where 5 million litres and ten times that in $ has been spent. I've got a really nice tank in my lounge isn't enough knowledge.
i would rate myself 4.7 / 10
Are you sure about that?!
😂
Don't want to flex on you, but I think you might be correct
I'm a 2 out of 10 at best
2/10 I think I've learnt an awful lot but every slight thing has me thinking I know nothing.
Not something to brag about….
Probably worth watching the video to understand the concept of it
@@PrestigeReef if you’re gonna put a title up like that it’s not worth the watch bud.
@@itsmarkrh this was a great video. Puts a few things into perspective. I'm guessing you're probably one of those experts that's really a 1 out of 10. Have a nice day anyway.
@@itsmarkrh messages like these suggest you lack the intelligence to understand the video, and how attention grabbing titles work on UA-cam.
Proving the video is correct.
It’s poetic.
@@jeong-hoconrado9774 have a day off pal ;)
