What an honor 🎖
The honour is ours to get to watch 3 legends
Man you've really made it!
Awesome March. Hope you smuggled some stuff back over the border! Ha. Great listening to you three talk. Just glad I can purchase from one of you!
It’s so dope to see you on the tidal gardens podcast! Hopefully you can bring back some cool stuff! Keep up the amazing work March!
Great seeing you guys again! I'll have to come to Toronto soon
I love this video with both of these guys I have listened to the podcast and now watched the video twice. Fragbox and tidal gardens are two of my favorite channels. Well done. Also your corals are always the best.
Thank you Than, really enjoyed my visit .Paul
What region is your accent?
@@edwardownenI’m from sunny Essex near London 😊
@@aactv3223 I enjoyed the podcast - it was like guy richie doing a movie about my favorite hobby 😂
@@edwardownenI’m from the zone - like Snatch only coral 🪸 😂
So nice to finally have you over for a visit!
Love the insider talking videos like these 👌
Such a great trio ❤❤❤
Seeing you post a podcast brightens my day. Keep up the great work and quality!
Thank you! Will do!
Fantastic conversation! It wasn't long enough!
Great to see Paul sharing some of that knowledge he's gained over the years. I can only imagine how impressive Tidal Gardens is to visit, extremely enjoyable video to watch.
Paul has that ASMR British voice
really interesting conversation thanks
Our pleasure!
I got to hear real 'shop talk', that was amazing, loved it!
The trio I thought I’d never get to witness let’s goooo!
AAC online have by far the best customer service I’ve ever had. I’m way up north in UK and Paul has looked after me for a few years now. Roll on the online corals. Cheers
Finally some one said we are our own worst enemy
Paul is the best!
This pod is going to be amazing ! Shouts out to my LFS Fragbox !!
Ohhh boy looking forward to this...
Please do more SOFT CORALS! I think they are the most rewarding for the lowest cost running tanks. Easier on the eyes and very rewarding in growth.
I am looking to transition a big 600g mixed reef tank to a soft coral dominated tank
Essex bit dar for me so excited for aac to go online
Love these episodes
Gonis are so temperamental
All these rumors about feeding and manganese etc. They don’t seem to have a feeding response.
All I know is I’ve several that do great, and others that seem great and then just wither and die for no reason
We're really not ok with paying more. The fact that we're paying $40 for what 10 years ago was a $5 frag is just ridiculous. How my local shop handles online sales, the good stuff isn't out in the store, for the locals to walk in and buy. Those are all auctioned online. I'm not fighting other people for a piece.
This is like the United Nations of Reefkeeping.
😂
Seeing Than Without a Suit !!!! something I thought I'd never see
So funny you say that, my wife who's not really into reefing, was walking through the room and stopped to say "doesn't that guy always wear really nice suits". 🤣
You should see his old videos when he was only in a green house
Paul is the man! What he didn’t touch on (which I suspect he knows but doesn’t want to cause offence) was the impact Brexit has had on our access to livestock, we previously had access to the likes of DeJong, Amblard, Recif, reeffish & many more great wholesalers across Europe. Which has all now gone only to give us one choice of wholesaler (TMC), whilst they are very good at what they do, they are pretty much in dictation of what we are offered & how much we pay. We can also no longer buy from dozens of great retailers across Europe - whitecorals, fauna Marin, etc etc. So we are now paying inflated prices, for a reduced selection of livestock; another straw to add to the camels back for the industry in the UK (already having to cope with higher energy costs, less disposable income & harder to import products) 👍🏼.
I can't imagine a world where Brexit doesn't have a massive impact on the reef aquarium industry in the UK.
Brexit could have been so much better if the government managed it better. Only have to look at how the UK shops can’t ship lps & sps to Northern Ireland which is part of the UK but Northern Ireland can access the venders from the EU.
Just a note for Paul, I'd love to visit AAC but honestly, with 1 day off work per week (max) I can't justify spending 80% of that in a car just to visit an LFS - even one that looks as amazing as AAC.
Now.....if I could view your stock and order online, I would - and I know at least 20 other reefers in my area that feel the same way.
Can't believe Paul from AAC was on Tidal Gardens, I buy all my livestock there. 🎉
If only I were closer, it’s a 4hr round trip to visit them…
What a line up of international reef experts, such an enjoyable watch 🙌 If only we could have this as a regular stream 🙏Sending love for AAC UK, Paul and the team ❤️🙌
Thanks Jay
Fantastic chat😊
Now I know what it is like to have a coral and fish discussion with actor Michael Cain.
🤣 thank you 🙏🏻 I’m honoured
Great chat , two legends indeed well three including yourself , Paul a sort of local FS Owner to me & often shop there , I’m looking forward to his new venture for sure & look forward to popping into fragbox next year for a second time while visiting friends / clients .
See you on the next one sir ❤👍🏻🫡
