    I started feeding in 1993. In 2003 I opened a shop and install/maintenance saltwater only business. I sold it in 2015.
    The industry became so toxic and wholesale companies started selling to guys with frag tangs in their moms house next to their bunk beds. Everyone has the same exact stuff. Then it became buy it all and cut them all.
    Then LEDs came into the mix. Turned the tanks into a World from Avatar.
    I will Give credit here. The healthy of the corals here in this video are pristine. I’ve personally seen Jason Fox’s collections and not too many can say they can have a collection like his. This is a great start towards that!
    I see videos now and then and I might get inspired to do an SPS speciality tank featuring only Acropora Granulosa. It’s my favorite

      Coral collecting is so much more rewarding when you’re able to tune out the social media buzz! I started to hunt and peck locally for corals about 2 years ago and do my best to distance myself from glamorous tank pics (yet, here I am!)
      The other thing to remember is that anyone with deep pockets can collect and photo corals to show off… that doesn’t mean anything. (not at all saying that’s what happening in the video). One of my favorite parts of the hobby is to hunt locally and spot sub $100 corals that have the potential to shine, but as being held back by their current owners.
      Also- the tanks/corals in this video are amazing as are the personalities!!

    I live in the US, an Aussie Gold Torch will run you anywhere from $350 a head (if you have a hookup) but generally $500+ per head. Are they cheaper for you guys out there or do they still fetch high prices?

    • @ParkersReef
      @ParkersReef  Рік тому +1

      yeah a little cheaper here, but not a massive amount. We'd pay about 2/3rds of what you pay (but then have currency conversion on our side, so probably closer to half)

    great video. how often to dose manganese for gonis, and how much per hundred litres?

    • @ParkersReef
      @ParkersReef  7 місяців тому

      Daily. Dose will vary based on your tank and coral load, ICP will determine amount required, but you essentially want it to not show on an ICP despite dosing (as it oxidises out of the water column fairly quickly)
