Happy to be bringing content to you all! Blessed to have TSA have me on the team! Appreciate you for stopping in, watching, and leaving a comment! -Blaine
This is my favorite video. I’m more of an intermediate to advanced hobbyist, but love the information on growing easy SPS/Acros. Not enough information on what makes an Acro hard/easy.
I just ordered my first lps corals from you guys online. I love them. Maybe I’ll get sps too and make it mixed reef. Thanks guys for having good corals and fast shipping!
Absolutely! Glad the first order treated you well! I can attest I am all in on making my home tank mixed! I feel it's a really unique look and fun challenge in the hobby! Hope we earned a sub Zachary! -Blaine
Aquaman's Revenge, Danger Zone, Beach Bum.... These names!! HAHA. Keep Montipora-ing this info in your feeds. I'm digging it. Really learning a lot here boys.
Your videos just popped up on my feed so I just subscribed. I really enjoy this kind of content and Blaine is doing a really good job. I love that you added the Bill Murray and Anacropora to the list. In the future I would LOVE to see a video of a “Top 5-10 Ten Next Level SPS” after stylos, monti, birds nest, green slimer etc. There’s a bunch of videos on easy sps, but I don’t see a lot of content on next level sps. Im absolutely not knocking this video, I really enjoyed it. Just giving a suggestion. Thanks !
Thanks for stopping in! I love the suggestions, I genuinely do! Helps me bring more content out that everyone can enjoy. I’m a hobbyist at heart, so I just want to keep true to that and have a blast! Hope to see you on future videos in the comment section!! -Blaine
@@TopShelfAquatics thanks. We live in Daytona. Was in a few Saturday’s ago. The wife is the reefer here and she got a lot of great advice from… can’t remember her name. Sorry. Picked up some clean up crew, nudibranch… a few emerald crabs. We have made it down for your last few open houses. Touring the farm was…surreal. Will TSA be at the show in Daytona in November?
I know the pink birds nest tends to get a nicer ton when in higher PAR, but I will get with Kevin and circle back with you on some more information on that! Appreciate you dropping in and leaving these comments! -Blaine
Is it a bad idea to just have one type of encrusting coral with the hopes that it covers my entire scape? I think it would be cool but idk of there are downsides
I mean if it’s something you want why not right? This hobby is all about what you want, it’s YOUR tank! I always preach that. My one thought would be maybe you end up wanting to do other corals and if it has encrusted the entire scape it will be hard to get anything else to grow potentially! -Blaine
Fantastic video, I got some great coral ideas from this, thank you!
You and me both! Was a joy having that interview with Kevin and got my brain churning for projects as well! Thanks for stopping in!

The encrusting montis are the best! Love the video, definitely going to help me grow my collection!
Some of the encrusting Montiporas here are insane! Thanks for stopping in and dropping a comment!

Was a blast talking reef with Kevin!

What bird nest and Stylo could stay with acropora par with out bleaching cause of the light . Mine seem to bleach under high light
I know the pink birds nest tends to get a nicer ton when in higher PAR, but I will get with Kevin and circle back with you on some more information on that! Appreciate you dropping in and leaving these comments!
-Blaine
I have the purple stylo under 350 PAR no problems whatsoever.
