Welcome to Tidal Gardens on RU-vid. This channel is about all things saltwater with an emphasis on reef aquariums and propagating coral in icy cold Copley, OH. I love underwater videography and showing the incredible beauty of the coral reefs.
I find taking a shot of the tank once you figure out your aperture, ISO and such and then using that photo as a custom white balance photo and then your color will be spot on every time.
My problem was sorted by BUMBLE BEE SNAILS. I had a lot of vermitted snails & then slowly saw them disappearing, wasn't sure why & I came across a post of thing that said BIMBLE BEE SNAILS. Maybe just a coincidence
Well from experience half of what's being said isn't practical most people don't have an extra room to house a sump if I had a room for this I certainly wouldn't have it next to my tank it would just make your whole system look ugly Most aquariums with their stands are matched between tank and sap. To act as if the sump wouldn't be big enough for this tank that you have you match it, you size appropriately. I have a 180 gall tank with a 40 gallon. Sump, that's the recommendations. I have plenty of room and it's not on guile. Looking to have a whole room full of c*** just for my tank. My tank is the center of my room. I don't have extra room for this stuff. It's under the tank as far as it leaking its leaking into the sump.
Favorite reef tank RU-vid videos. Every aspect is done so well, keep it up. Gonna have you repay tidal gardens with an order I guess, feel like I owe you guys lol
Found out a couple years ago that I can't smell formaldehyde, only figured out when my eyes were starting to burn and had breathing issues. Wasn't allowed to handle it after finding that out since I couldn't tell if there was an issue/leak/spill.
Than!! Help! I have a blueberry sea fan, and all the time in the world to feed it phyto 20 times a day, and Im culturing my own phyto. Im dealing with gair alfae smothering oarts of the sean fan closing up polyps. Any recommendations? I have teied peroxide dip/dosing. I have vibrant but have not used it yet
My yumas devour finely chopped raw shrimp. Goni react very well on RR. I've seen it opens and closes mouths and after feeding the tentacles looks significantly more inflated. But it doesn't consume all RR, if a polyp is closed it'll stay closed even with RR on it.
I've been following him since he started his RU-vid channel, I think it's been like 13 years, and I've seen how his business has grown. It's always interesting how he explains things, although I've already heard some of them in other places and I've learned a lot from him, keep going.👍👍👍
You never complain about good purchases…only bad ones. If we spend $300 on pump…because the $600 one is too expensive….but really you needed the $600 one you now bought a $600 pump for $900.
Hey Than, speaking of "methods", what video editing software do you use? I trust what works for you must be surely be good enough for what I need to screw around for fun.
You could do 24/7 livestreams on the show tanks! I think that would be interesting, and coming back every couple of days, or weeks, would be very interesting to see the growth and changes. It's worth a shot! Love everything else you said!
Yeah these tubs are more for non reefs or non reef fish such as sharks and rays pretty much not for coral or if you want to use them as a non reef exhibit
@tidalgardens Awsome just got my first pair of atlantik orphek. Hopefully the corals and i like them 🙏 BTW we admire you lot's brother. Blessings and thanks for the hard work
Than, I would love to see a video where you go through and look at some packaged consumer aquarium options and apply your thought process/method to them. Not necessarily rating them, but giving us the questions that would go through your head in terms of reliability, stability, ease of maitenance, etc. Just an idea - feel free to take it or leave it!
Im on almost 2 years no water change, 3 times a year i get an oceamo ms test for 65$ and correct from there. Unless there is an issue from the water test would be the only reason I would do a water change at this point. It works and works well once you realize fish and coral like stability almost as much as they like the parameters to be within that happy range
Moonshine type methods may not be for everyone, but pretty hard to deny at this point that it works, there are large scale operation, tanks bigger than what tian has by 10s of thousands of gallons, applying this method with success. Doesnt mean you never do water changes, means u do them when needed, and the cost savings of less water changes shouldnt be neglected
My phone notification truncated the title of this video to "What is the Tidal Gardens Meth..." and I just see Than sitting there in a lab coat with blue hues all over. This coral farm is all a ruse. It's clear now he's got a Gus Fring-esque basement where the real action happens.
