This video is a rare gem of information. Thank you for the wonderful insight. I would personally love to see more video's on NPS corals, and video's where your research would add to our hobby
This was such an informative video. Most videos are all fluff and a little information. This was no fluff and all information. Thank you for all of your applied research
I am really amazed by the good results presented in this video, despite the apparent simplicity of your breeding protocol. However, I have even more questions: What type of filtration is best for a NPS aquarium? Do skimmers and mechanical filters hinder NPS breeding? Is having a refugium beneficial? I started looking at a lot of Chinese NPS aquariums, I noticed that these aquariums are mainly populated by gorgonians and Dendrophylliidae. Your video is primarily focused on gorgonians. These animals are obvious brine shrimp nauplii eaters. But what about sponges, Dendronephthyas, sea pen, Ctenoides, filtering sea cucumber, tunicates, featherstars... Do they need other sources of food? In any case, thank you very much for this video, I really hope you make more.
Thank you for the video.. and please make the next video on culturing equipment and automatic brine shrimp feeders. In addition how small of a tank would be optimal for feeding as well as maintaining water quality. I'm thinking 5 gallons?
This is very cool I got my first NPS, a sun coral, recently and it’s doing great, always feeding and always out. I ordered a NPS gregorian and it will be arriving soon and I will be applying what you said. Can’t wait! 👍
Great video! Amazing camera work! I’d like to hear more about how different corals feed and how to replicate that without elevating nutrients dramatically. Too often I hear fish poop is enough. (Amino acids?, pellets?, powders?).
Every system we have tried with feeding large amounts of Artemia naupilli flood feeds, results in Aiptasia blooms. Targeted feeding seems to limit this but I would like hear how your friends deal with Aiptasia and hydroids when feeding such large amounts of naups.
if you facing this problem, it means your amount is enough. Apitasia is easy, copperband butterfly fish or nudibranch is enough. Now hydroids is not a problem anymore, Monetaria annulus is the best animal eat this, if you found it not eating, just buy the snails from another shop
Hello! I worked with decapsulated brine shrimp eggs and they were captured well and got growth. Sometimes the entire content of the gut was disgorged, as if they had eaten too much. I think keeping water quality up eventually was a problem for me (it was a large system). Have you tried decapsulated with your small system?- Charles Matthews
yes i tried that, but that seems not work very well in my tank, dry decapsulated brine shrimp eggs could not keeps floating in water column and frozen decapsulated brine shrimp eggs would glued together. But if your eggs are being eaten, it should be fine, if it is disgorged, i think it might because artemia eggs should covered a thin layer of transparent shell beneath the brown shell, so if some eggs are not remove that lawyer it may be determined as indigestable (just a thought).The water quality problem, if you talking about nitrate or phos level, yes it will rising quickly, but the sea fans could tolerant very high level of that, a proper feeding method could keep the sea fans in good condition when water changing twice or once per month(of course in high range). I was thought to make a video about that but now is too busy and the view counts are too low.
Now THIS is the type of colorful tank I'd love to have. Everything looks so naturally vivid. Can't stand the tanks with ultra high blues that make everything look so fake far from what you'll ever see in the ocean.
Hello, this is charles matthews again, thank you for your reply. Have you been able to keep Dendronephthya and Scleronephthya? I found the polyps too small for brine shrimp but they seemed to take freeze dried rotifers. I worked with NPS for about 15 years, many many trials and failures, happy to correspond with you and set up a parallel system here to add to your data.Thank you for the reply- I know you are busy setting up a larger aquarium.

Great video, very interesting! I now realize that I need a NPS-tank. I hope you decide to make more content like this.
thanks for the video.. Please make the video to introduce what equipment is good for raising NPS. Thanks again

Really good explanation and also evidence of success. I would be interested in more videos!
Amazing work! This is an insane success with these beautiful creatures! Please let me know if you publish anything on this topic!
would love a follow up video. Very informative
Please come back for more! I’d love to hear more on how you run and manage your NPS systems

Great to see people dedicated to NPS coral, the timelapse shot of gorgonian growing is awesome!
Incredible coral skills and nice educative video.
Can you make a video about your nps 60L system? Like the equipment you use for success
Great video! Amazing camera work!

wonderful deep dive into NPS, this is so fascinating, thank you so much for sharing your research and findings
Great video. More please!

Great video Wang Huohuo!
Great information! Thank you!
Hey, great video. Do you feed your Tubastrea any larger foods or just newly hatched brine shrimp?
Cheers,
Chris
Awesome video, def subscribed
支持书记👍
Please please ...tell use more !!!! How exactly do you propagate you plankton? How do you feed?

Hey Wang, just wondering what sieve mesh sizes you use normally for sieving the nauplii from egg cases?
that blue Anthogorgia is incredible. I've never seen one with such long tentacles.
This can definitely guide the proper feeding and long-term survival of NPS from the ground up！书记牛逼

Does this apply to Dendronephthya and similar corals?
YES
Hi, i have a question about flow in nps tank
Amazing!!!
Where did you find the sample videos? I cant find them on social media would love to look through their photos and videos.
for sure you can't find them, they are my friends and give the video to me
i'm still waiting for your next video
how to grow zooplankton in my tank? my tank is 2 years old.
作为书记的铁粉，本来想用英文评论，奈何英文太烂，只能说Amazing！
👍👍👍
Do you have another channel to follow? or Instagram?
Your "Culturing System"?
书记牛逼！
书记还是牛的。
Is it necessary to listen the music to have nps tank ? 🙉
