Peace!
What a cool video idea!!! Loved it. Can’t wait for the corals to grow out!
Absolutley love these videos, must be fun working at top shelf they have amazing corals!
Woahhh this is so cool!!
Is the mystery box what you would typically see as a customer in terms of value? I feel like I got burned by mystery corals before. Like paying 35$ for the mystery to be a hollywood stunner.
Well I made the mystery box for my friend. We’ve never done mystery boxes before. For the mystery corals on top shelf’s website you are supposed to get a $35 coral minimum if you spend $35 but I don’t bag those corals
Nice 👌🏽
Fun content. Good job, buddy!
Bro those corals look amazing!
nice
Love the daisy dukes one. Zoas are one of my favorite corals. Please always dip corals before you put them in tanks. You don't know what you can be introducing. Melafix is the best God send dip in the world and great for corals. Get the marine one; 2.5ML with 1 cup of tank water (you can use more water if the coral is bigger and you don't have to worry if you put a little more than 2.5mL of melafix; its safe). You can do 5 to 10 minutes or 20-30 minutes depending how much critters are on the frag. You can introduce bad bacteria even if the coral looks perfect. It's extremely important to dip them. I've learned the hard way a few times. Now, I dip everything. Its also always good to pop the coral off the plug. Plugs carry a lot of bacteria, etc. It looks more natural too when you glue them to the rock. Its super tacky when you see nothing but plugs in a tank. You will get a more natural growth too if its not on the plug. Of course, some you can't get off the plug, but if you can, pop them off with a razor. And always start on the sand until they acclimate with the lights. Going from one light to another is very stressful on them. Because it is a small tank and the light is directly above it, you should always start them on the sand for a week or two. Once you find a spot for it, don't glue it yet, because you don't know if it will like the spot. Some spots they look even better. Patience is the number one tool in this salt game!
All this is very true! We didn’t dip because I had grabbed certain frags from Top Shelf Aquatics that I had dipped previously! But definitely dip all your corals before hand!
If you’re trying to say what was in the box is worth $500, you’re literally robbing your friend.
Great Video!!
Thank you!
Oh shoot, he got ads now. Congrats!
Thank you!
Great choice big dog
Thank you!
Hi. I have been wondering when should I put anemone. There are a lot of people said I should do it after 6 months and got people said can do it after 2 months. I need your opinion about it. Thanks
I would personally recommend waiting 6 months. But if your corals are growing super super well already then you might be able to add it early
I wouldn't get an anemone. They can be a pain in the butt. If they move around, they can kill coral and fish. Make sure to put a mesh around your powerheads and intake so they don't get chopped up. Ive heard a lot of horror stories and I've had two of them. Never again. It got to the point I was just so worried about it moving and killing other coral. It can nuke your tank as well. I wish I could keep one, but just not worth it to me.
so sad for the price of corals and its too small lol.... anyway i enjoy ur vids u're hansome ❤️🥰😘
Dipping corals is so 2022…good job boys 😂
Hahaha I should have showed it but I pre dipped them earlier before I made the box
Thank god i saved a clownfish and his problem with ick
🪸
Holyshit! The prices of corals is just getting ridiculous in US. thats not worth 500 bucks!
I agree. Maybe 200 lol
$120 with me . Can’t believe they pays $500 for that
Thats why you dont buy from top shelf lol
Every piece of coral in that tank are standard pieces. There are no high end corals in that tank. $500
I don’t think so.
Poor man got ripped off!
He was taken advantage of.
Worth the $$$ for healthy, pest free pieces in my opinion.
500$ for a few zoa frags smh
My set up was between 200 dollars myself oops lost a fish 50 dollars im learning to keep it simple my frjend 🎉
Hello
Hi
Please dip your corals. You do not want flat worms or other pests that could nuke your tank.
I had dipped them at the store before putting them in the mystery box. I should have filmed it but thank you for the concern! Anyone watching this video please follow this comment!
Not worth 500 max 150.
500 box probably contained a frag of green star polyps
Corals are not plants they are a collection of animals called polyps if I remember correctly
Yes you are correct! That’s why I said they are animals
@@colsonscritters not you. your mate said they were plants
I don’t know, I’ve lost many corals, try and failure. But I all big and all in when reefing. So a mixed reef with lots of zoas $35 a piece etc… frags up to $150-300 a piece. It gets pricey. Total system worth cost $2000 in corals, but with growth I’ve made my money back when trading or selling honestly? It’s how you look at it not just as a hobby, but as an investment! 🪸
Exactly, because you can grow out the corals and sell them later on or trade for more
