    One reason id like to live in a warm climate would definitely be an outdoor sump/salt pond.

    At 14:10, how do you connect multiple Apex EB832s? Are you daisy chaining them off each other to utilize the same brain?

    The tank is great, fish are beautiful and healthy, coral looks great, the equipment set up is well thought out, etc. I just will the scape didn't look like they just dumped in a pile of rocks. Maybe it doesn't look that way in person.

    • @TopShelfAquatics

      please don't take it to the extreme, I'm a plumber myself imagine coming from work and putting my hands in there just like that, what I'm saying is always wash and RINSE your hands before touching you inside of the tank. Imagine a car mechanic with his hands inside your tank!

    Why encourage ppl with bare bottoms to get wrasses. A dog can easily sleep outside in the dirt but instead most owners have them inside on a nice dry bed. Why treat fish any different when you know they are a lot better off having sand?

      He has sand in the tank, it’s just on the back wall, you can still see some through out the video.
