Please don't let this be your only visit with Juno. I enjoyed hearing her so much. You can really tell how much she just loves the corals. She seems to be a fun person to discuss corals and the hobby. I think that this will be one of those videos that I find myself rewatching several times. Great video Sam. More Juno please.
Thanks for the kind comments! I do hope to return back to Monsoon in the not too far future, there is even more happening at the facility that I hope to share with you all soon. And yes of course, see all of my friends at Monsoon who are unbelievably more passionate about this hobby than even me!
You can truly see and feel the passion for coral from Juno and the Monsoon Aquatics team. Love seeing people who get so giddy about coral and always having that excitement to check on your babies to see their progress. Best content ever! More of Monsoon Aquatics and Juno is an absolute must! Thanks Sam, we love what you do!
Juno is super nice! 🥰❤️ can tell she loves her corals, I just looked in the website for monsoon and looks like it’s still kinda being put together, can’t wait to see more amd buy some corals from her in the future! 🥰 thanks Juno and Sam for a great video! 🍻❤️
@@ParkersReef I was thrilled to see them selling in the US! It's the first time I have seen them aquaSD has a bunch of their corals listed. My only grumble point is that the aquacultured scolys cost just as much as the fully grown out non aquacultured counterparts. On one hand I recognize that it takes money to grow the corals out, but on the other hand, it's hard to buy a wedge shaped frag when the whole coral is the same price, especially if the price is $350usd.
Wowzwers! i wish that was my neighbor. Amazing facility! Love the tours lately, taking your time , letting them talk and focus on all the straight porn.
What a great video Sam! All i could say throughout the video was wow! Mind blowing corals! What a great job they are doing . I wish we could buy direct from them. I have to talk to my LFS to get in contact with them. Thanks mate!
Wow that was absolutely incredible...sad she didn't talk about my absolute favourite when she was right next to it for so long...my eyes were pooping like crazy waiting for her to talk about them😂
This farm is what got me wanting those Amazonas 960, its so hard to find solid information about them. Did any conversations ever come about those lights?
yeah, the team at Monsoon love them! With this many light fixtures, usual home reef style lights weren't working so well due to all of the wifi signals. The team were constantly adding and removing them from the wifi network. Switched to these simple fixtures and never looked back :)
@@ParkersReef After reading all the research they put in and just how dedicated they are to coral health I decided I was saving up to get those same lights. What wild farm this is.
Yeah the entire facility is spotless, a true testament of the continual work the team does! Monsoon sure do sell plenty to the USA, but yes, wholesale only. Hopefully the team can share who they sell to in the states so you can track some of these corals down!
I usually use a brown filter (believe it or not!) and then just adjust the colours in post processing from there. If the spectrum isn't too blue, you wont even need the brown filter - but it is handy if a lot of blue led is present
I dont remember exactly how, but I ran across Bundaberg a few months ago and decided I wanted to move there.... unfortunately I am American so it would be tough to get there...
@@ParkersReef Indeed. I love hot humid climates, the ocean, lots of nature to explore, and a bit of a smaller type town/city atmosphere... Australia seems to be a place where you can be yourself and do your own thing, without anyone really caring, as long as you conduct yourself reasonably, and you aren't a dickhead.
@ParkersReef Thank you for the reply! I ask because I'm very strongly considering using the 960's over my reef and will be mounting them quite high, similar to how Monsoon has done it. What did you think of the 960s vs. the radions as you looked at the xorals?
At this point in time the tanks are running conventional wave makers at one end with gyres mid way. However, there is some research and development being invested in this space and the team will hopefully have some things to share soon
the lights in the first building are Orphek's. They make a light that is a commercial grade normally used in public aquariums. It is a full spectrum light, but certainly does have a fairly blue spectrum in it at the moment.
Ah sound - yes, the audio was not compiled into one channel (so Juno would speak on one side and I on the other). This is a setting I have since changed as it was mentioned to not be great for all folks watching (Y)
Everytime you point out a scolly, so this woukd be ready now right? She says oh no more like this one and picks up a bland tiny one that is round 😂 man now im concearned because all the most beautifull ones she just ignores and rathers show of the ones that are tiny and round? Shes hing up on them looking uniform instead of embracing the differences they get... id be worried to biy from her because she either has very bad taste in aesthetics and choose bland round ones to sell, when i want strange shapes and strange colour morphs and she overlooks them entirely.... either that or maybe she was talking up the crappy ones because she plans on taking the cool ones for herself and selling the bland ones? .. what is the go there? Is she malevolent? Or does she just have a really bad disconnect in what people actually want? Shes grown the most amazing corals ive ever seen
Firstly, monsoon is a team - not one person. Secondly, you buy from a list, so it doesn’t matter who likes which piece more - you can specify what you like. That’s kinda the beauty of this hobby, we can all like different things 👍🏻
Yeah im not having a dig at her, like i said she has grown and spawned the nicest corals on the planet. But it amazing to know they have a list to buy from and you pick the piece yourself, ive realky had problems with companies selling me corals and frags that i ordered only to get pieces i did not order with dying pieces and pieces that have been losing flesh with exposed skeletal structures that were clearly exposed months if not a full yr before they sent it... But thats great to see someone selling the exact pieces you picked to you.. i will buy my next shipment from monsoon in a few months to try them out.. thanks for the reply..
@@4kays160 Again, Juno is one of many that work at Monsoon to maintain, frag, spawn and sell these corals. Monsoon do a What You See Is What You Get type deal from each one of their facilities every single week, so you can view and purchase the exact coral. If that coral is purchase by someone else, you can request one similar - or you know, just give them a buzz and let them know what you are looking for (as we touched on early, everyone has different preferences)

U gotta wear flip flops and ur suit if ur in Qld tho Than! 😉 no shoes allowed in tropical australia 😂🍻🥰
Always welcome Than, be happy to show you around :)
@@ParkersReef Parker’s/Tidal colab would be so good! 👌🔥🔥🔥
I recommend the Perth Aquarium AQWA if you like crazy colours and corals over 1 meter wide 😊
Yes, have been there and was blown away!!
Please don't let this be your only visit with Juno.

Totaly agree she seems absolutely adorable.
@@Heavens-Humanaterian-Army truly a contagious energy and passion around her corals. Hard not to get swept up in it all!
I wonder if this is the biggest in the world.
Potentially is??
Scolys bred in captivity makes me smile. Awesome vids Parker. I’ve watch your video with the rainbow bowerbanki at least 25 times.
sure makes me smile too! Appreciate the kind words :)

I wish to formally declare my candidacy for president of the Juno fan club. This was a great visit/interview.
Hahaha I think you’d have to get in line. Juno is a star and it was a pleasure being able to share her passion with the world via this video
Watched this on my 65” telly and loved every minute. That one tank with the super special corals was mind blowing 😊
so glad you enjoyed it mate, I had a ball at the facility!
Great tour. What is amazing is every coral looks so healthy and the place looked super clean ans organized.
an incredible amount of time and energy is put into keeping all of these systems (and there is a LOT) super clean and the corals in perfect health
Juno is super nice! 🥰❤️ can tell she loves her corals, I just looked in the website for monsoon and looks like it’s still kinda being put together, can’t wait to see more amd buy some corals from her in the future! 🥰 thanks Juno and Sam for a great video! 🍻❤️
They’re wholesale facility, so you can grab their corals from your local fish store. Be sure to ask them to get in monsoon frags!
@@ParkersReef oh cool, Ill have to ask the 2 stores I go to where they get their frags and mention monsoon 😉👊🥰
Please do!
What a great facility. Great video mate, looking forward to the next ones 😀👍
Cheers!!!
Amazing!! Love the outdoor tanks makes so much sense.
Couldn’t agree more! The par really surprised me!
Another great video from, Parker’s Reef
Thanks mate!
This was incredibly amazing 👏🏻 😍
glad you enjoyed it!
WOW 😳 man everything looks so Beautiful even the young lady 😍 lol great video love it have a great weekend and be safe
Thanks mate, you too!
Juno must be so patient working with someone like George :)
Hahahaha George is awesome though!
great video - looks like an amazing place to explore
It sure is!!
This was a good video! As always good work Sam. Blessings from New York City
Thanks Gary, appreciate it mate!
@@ParkersReef probably next year for my 40th birthday I’m going to Australia I would love to meet you and possibly see your tank in person
You bet! Stay in touch!
Wow.... as a big LPS fan... it will be heaven for me 🤩🥰
Thanks for sharing 🤗
the LPS is to die for here and it just goes on and on and on!
Here I sit in little Denmark and enjoy my Duncan and Hammer corals, In my little simple reef.
all reefs are lovely!
Thanks this was amazing !!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just ordered a monsoon acan here in the US! Looking forward to seeing how it looks!
You won’t be disappointed!!!

Yeah I hear you, but the prices will only get cheaper for aquacultured pieces as they refine the process. It is the future!
Stunning stock wish we got them over here amazing vid buddy
I'm sure the team at Monsoon are sending some corals to the UK - so you should be able to track them down!
@@ParkersReef will have to look into that then lol
Wowzwers! i wish that was my neighbor. Amazing facility! Love the tours lately, taking your time , letting them talk and focus on all the straight porn.

Yes chat with your fish store, they’ll be able to grab them in for you :)
Great job and a great video yep yep
thank you!
Some insane corals 👌
Absolutely!!
Wow that was absolutely incredible...sad she didn't talk about my absolute favourite when she was right next to it for so long...my eyes were pooping like crazy waiting for her to talk about them😂
which coral in particular was that???
Great video. Any details on what and how often they feed?
Thank you!! They feel their own blend of food and they feed it multiple times a day
If it’s not covered in the dragging video next , could you get a fragging video of how to Frag the scolymias please ?
It certainly will be covered in that video :)
And it’s fairly straight forward considering!
@@ParkersReef great thank you 🙏🏼 I’ll keep an eye out for it , have a great weekend ahead , happy reefing .
Классная ферма, и отличное видео, спасибо Вам 👍
большое спасибо за просмотр, рад, что вам понравилось
Wow what a amazing place. It would be cool to make candy gummy’s with the different corals 🪸 with those bright colors and shades
Incredible facility!
I got many time import form monsoon. Very very nice coral here 👍
Nicely done!
I love the long tentacle stuff
I know right!!!

Good one . Tanks!!!
Thank you too!
Great tour/video! How are the racks so clean? No algae or coralline! And how do we get some of those corals state side? Wholesale only?
Yeah the entire facility is spotless, a true testament of the continual work the team does! Monsoon sure do sell plenty to the USA, but yes, wholesale only. Hopefully the team can share who they sell to in the states so you can track some of these corals down!
As we all know most of the world's coral reefs are now gone. This is amazing their are companies like this saving them ❤
Not sure about most of the coral reefs being gone, but this does future proof that a lot
@@ParkersReef I recently saw several videos of reefs that have been totally bleached in Florida this summer. 😔
Indeed they possibly have. And plenty of the reefs here that bleached a couple years ago have recovered again
The reefs here in Queensland are doing beautifully. I live in the Whitsundays. It’s stunning
Sam, I am just curious. What filter are you using on your DSLR to get those images? It really seems to capture a more true coloration of the corals.
I usually use a brown filter (believe it or not!) and then just adjust the colours in post processing from there. If the spectrum isn't too blue, you wont even need the brown filter - but it is handy if a lot of blue led is present
I dont remember exactly how, but I ran across Bundaberg a few months ago and decided I wanted to move there.... unfortunately I am American so it would be tough to get there...
It’s a pretty cool part of the world!
@@ParkersReef
Indeed. I love hot humid climates, the ocean, lots of nature to explore, and a bit of a smaller type town/city atmosphere... Australia seems to be a place where you can be yourself and do your own thing, without anyone really caring, as long as you conduct yourself reasonably, and you aren't a dickhead.
spot on mate!
So sad how you guys got "locked down" . Bless you all from America .
We're open and living life to the fullest again now :)
What intensity are you running your Amazonas? Which lens optics?
yeah great question - I'd have to wait for one of the Monsoon crew to answer this one. I know the orpheks are new additions to the setup though
@ParkersReef Thank you for the reply! I ask because I'm very strongly considering using the 960's over my reef and will be mounting them quite high, similar to how Monsoon has done it. What did you think of the 960s vs. the radions as you looked at the xorals?
@@Sonofgaladriel1 was a very different use case to be fair. These were mounted meters above the shallow tanks and only set to produce around 80 PAR
Shoulda gone over the flow on each tank and what they prefer to use for each! I would love to know.
At this point in time the tanks are running conventional wave makers at one end with gyres mid way.
However, there is some research and development being invested in this space and the team will hopefully have some things to share soon
Another masterpiece!👏 Awesome facility and awesome woman! Can we clone and frag her so all women will be that awesome? 🤔
Incredible facility producing some incredible corals. Juno is one of the loveliest humans I’ve met!
This is my first time watching this channel it seems that Chris Hemsworth is interviewing hahaha
Hahaha I’ll take that as a MASSIVE compliment, thank you 😅
Do they use just blue light or do use other colours too? What light was they using in the beginning like the spot light?
the lights in the first building are Orphek's. They make a light that is a commercial grade normally used in public aquariums. It is a full spectrum light, but certainly does have a fairly blue spectrum in it at the moment.
yup yeahhh yes yup yeahhh lol great vid
Incredible facility
@@ParkersReef really is man happy I found u on UA-cam keep up the great videos
Many thanks 🙏🏻
Yeah!
Thank you!
A lot of eye candy for sure.
corals to admire for days!
A dream job 😊🙏🙏
It sure looks to be amazing, but I can say that I have seen just how hard the team work. It might be a dream, but it's a hard work dream!
@@ParkersReef yes absolutely, maybe because i have a passion
49:00 skim jerky! 😂👌
Tasty!!
Ok they only sell wholesale right not retail?
Correct
that was unreal
It was an honour to film the facility!
Cheers from SoCal. Thanks Parker and Juno for sharing this awesome video. Saving “The Reef” one coral frag at a time. 🤓👍🥳🏌️
Thanks for watching!
There are 1,047 “yeahs” in this video.

Hello there
"yeah"

Why are the voices panned?
The microphones were setup for left and right channel :)
Good looking girl in the thumbnail 👌😉😂🥰 can’t wait to watch the video… for the corals of course 👊🍻🥰
Juno is a lovely person who truly cares deeply about each and every coral in her facility
@@ParkersReef can’t wait for the video bro! Prob will miss the premier but will def watch it first thing tomorrow morning 🥰
It does run for a while, so give yourself plenty of time!!
@@ParkersReef this Saturday I got no where to be 😉🥰
Yep yep
yep indeed :P
Wish you would’ve combined the tracks, really wanted to watch this video but it’s audibly annoying to only hear someone in one ear.
No worries, have a good day 👍🏻
🤘😁🐠
Thanks team!
She kind of ☺️ cute

Very !!
Anyone else just getting wound in the right side?
Hopefully not too painful!!
Sound
Ah sound - yes, the audio was not compiled into one channel (so Juno would speak on one side and I on the other). This is a setting I have since changed as it was mentioned to not be great for all folks watching (Y)
did these corals undergone gene-editing to make them colourful and glow....?
No they have not. Aquarium lighting makes a big difference to the way coral colours fluoresce
I think I just mentally spent about $1million!
hahaha yep, hard not to!
