Simulating a Reef for 100 Days 

:)

The Zombie Snails erupting from the ground were actually kinda scary lol

It is so sad how many people don't understand how important and beautiful the ocean is.

Bro was just summoned out of nowhere and spit out the most high quality content anyone can offer

“it is huge, it is destructive, its a bit like my mother in law” actually got me dying

He takes a break (Maybe 20 days) He gets the idea (Maybe 1 day) He buys the tank/flowers/animals (Maybe 7 days) He builds the whole thing and makes sure it doesn't collapse (Maybe 1 day) He records the video (100 days) He makes the commentry (Maybe 3 days) He edits the video (Maybe 7 days) He adds the finishing touches (Maybe 1 day) Total: 140 days to make a 14 minute video This is a person that deserves the quote "Can we appreciate how much time he puts in his videos?"

its so crazy how the shrimp and goby fish work together without talking its like they were born to help eachother fairly

Seeing him just progressively adding new creatures into the tank is like unlocking new characters. fascinating tho!

this is low key my fav channel by far. 10/10 story telling 10/10 designs 10/10 everything

These videos are absolutely insane! Camera quality and voice just makes it so hype!

Your 10,000 dollar donation is incredible, and I SERIOUSLY hope for more awesome videos like this.

Joining the blind shrimp with the two lifeguard fish was a whole arc I loved this, your success is very well deserved sir

This channel is better than most National Geographics documentaries, brother is showing me animals i might have never seen in my lifetime. Great Channel

Finally, someone who can create an ocean.

Just rewatched this cinematic video 5 months later , still gorgeous , informative & loved your donation to the coral reef.

The symbiotic relationship between the Goby Fish and Pistol Shrimp is astonishing

Dude, you did an INCREDIBLE job! Absolute legend for the donation too

10:31 so thats why they lived in that in the movie! the people who worked on it actually did some research

outstanding film whole family leaned lots and loved it - Thank you ❤

Always worth the wait! The macro photography is next level 😱

Absolutely beautiful. Dr. Plants never fails to deliver a masterpiece

the donation is so crazy!! wow… this is the first video i watched of yours and i’m mesmerized by the reef even in a tank. i’m so glad i found this video and your channel!

This is ridiculously cinematic.. Felt like I was watching a Planet Earth episode.

THAT WAS INCREDIBLE! Well done sir 👏🐠

Great job bro! Tank looking mint 😎

That "weird" creature was a brittle star .

ty for donating

11:00 "all the fish are hiding and for a good reason" "I'm about to simulate a nuclear strike"

For anyone wondering... The creature that was "better left a mystery" is a Brittle Star! Very cool. Awesome video!

Love how you made aware of what’s happening to our reefs , big ups and amazing video.

so educating vlog ... love to watch ❤ ... more to come ... watching here from Philippines 🇵🇭

I'm a BS Biology Major in Coastal Biology and Conservation and the amount of details including the addition of various invertebrates (which contributes a lot to the ecosystem) is just Chef's kiss! This channel deserves the attention not just for the content, but for the time he study ecosystems while also raising awareness about current environmental issues.

THE DONATION AT THE END IS INCREDIBLE THANK YOU FOR HELPING OUR REEFS

I'm enjoying your magnanimous voice over the lovely visuals. feels like I'm a sentence away from hearing Poseidon shout about the tides yet I'm watching the snails and algae vibe :3

This is a documentary tutorial I wasn't expecting to see. It's wonderful and I love it.

Mans is really out here making art, having reasonable and helpful sponsors, AND bringing awareness to coral reefs??? You dropped this 🤲👑

Your story telling skills on micro ecosystems are truly unmatched. Also, I think it's amazing to show the reality of coral reefs today.

Well I’m glad I found this. It’s so fascinating. And your shots are incredible.

Thank you so much for bringing attention to the worlds corals dying out! It is a big problem that is overlooked, so thank you, for spreading that message :)

Wow. I was raised with the awareness of the ocean protection, and I can't tell you how happy I am that you donated to the foundation! You're a good man, Dr. Thank you.

3:30 I never would've guessed that such different animals do actually help each other like that and are able to live in such a marvelous symbiosis! Your videos are not only very entertaining to watch while eating, but also very educative. Big up!

it's actually insane how you're able to simulate these natural processes of life in a controlled environment, your videos are amazing! it would be so fascinating to get a process video documenting the steps involved in making something like this (from sourcing materials and animals, research into their lives/feeding habits, filming set up etc)

9:50 mother-in-law catching strays

Top tier quality as always, this vid deserves the wait. As a nature lover, I'm in love with these type of videos. Dr. Plants never disappoint 👏

This is my new favorite series

Why do I feel like I’m watching a movie about ocean??😂 love your video and edit skills❤

I love how you make natural disasters happen such as a hurricane to get them used to life in the true ocean, even simulating day and night!Well done! And even when you add new animals that even prey on the other lives in the tank, it’s the healthiest tank I’ve ever seen!

Having worked over 10 years in the aquarium industry I understand how much money you invested into this reef and video. I really enjoyed the macro shots of the corals opening. Though seeing that maxima clam be eaten at 8:30 sent actual pain through my body. Thank you spreading awareness of coral reefs dying and donating to help restore them.

My very first time ever watching your channel. I am absolutely amazed by not just tank, but the cinematography and story telling. ❤

AMAZING JOB ❤The video quality , the storytelling and everything else 💯

I have been waiting for another video about the aquariums for so long. Let's gooooooo

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how much effort this guy puts into his videos?! He bought all those supplies and stuff, just for his channel. Props to him :D Edit: To the people saying that I'm a bot, I'm not lol. I just write comments like this T-T

This is so entertaining to watch! I love watching these ecosystems!

this is so well produced, holy!!

This is the highest-quality, yet most underrated form of content ever. Again, a masterpiece Dr. Plants!

Love your videos! And it’s so sad to see our coral reefs slowly becoming a graveyard as you put it, respect for donating 10k!

The quality of this channel's content is incredible! Love the videos, man

Doing a great job Brother!! All the best!!

Once again, another masterpiece! The care, the creativity, the music, the camera work. It is so clear how much work this must be for you but I can tell it is a labour of love and it clearly shows. Well done!

All that hard work: research, editing, filming, making sure the quality is top notch, not to mention the time and patience and taking care of the creatures and tank. I'm always amazed! You've definitely been an inspiration. Thank you for doing all that work for us to enjoy and learn!

huge respect for this guy!!! the content he makes is peak and he is helping other people to reach really needed and good goals. he is rly worth watching:)

This is so sick, the production is very professional, are you the only one that makes these videos or do you have a team? Everything about this channel is wholesome and amazing

14:24 he is not just a good youtube video creator but also a person who cares about mother nature. respect my man

Thx for posting this vid this video actually helped me in a group project about reefs again tysm!

Excellent work bro, keep it up ❤

Love that ending ! It is so rare to see aquarium or terrarium lovers mixing the passion about the raised animals/plants and the environnment in their videos !

14:04 I wasn’t expecting this😢

I still wonder how you kept this tank well balanced with such amount of bioload? Think that’s the art of reefkeeping.

You are a genious. I could not take my eyes off the screen for a second. WOW

That last part is really sad cause we are losing our reefs. Many ppl don’t understand how important reefs are to our eco system. When ppl see my tank it’s an educating opportunity for me to teach them about the oceans. It’s not just for display and fun, but a great way to teach others about our oceans and why they are important.

Ok I HAD to subscribe!! As a Biologist who enjoys everything that has to do with Marine Biology, I was mesmerized by your story telling and beautiful video / quality! Had to hold my emotions back at the end, the state of our oceans is a great concern that seems to be fading into the background 😢

I love these tiny worlds I can't wait to see what little ecosystem you build next.

2:12 i don't think you know how rare it is to catch a hermit crab changeing shells

Your videos are so well produced. This was a freaking action movie bro. And good on you for donating to a restoration fund. You’ve inspired me to make a donation as well. ❤

The snails roaming around looked so adorable🥺

i love it when i find a new youtuber to watch when im going to bed.

I have been watching this guys videos for about 1-2 years and this channel is so calming.

2 minutes, and 1,000 people are already enjoying this masterpiece! ❤

i love how the goby and the shrimp just instinctively work and live together

I just like the attention of detail that you put in these videos

Ruby Gillman would be impressed with this Coral Reef.

I am so glad for your generous donation for the corals!

Beautiful ccontent, thanks for sharing the plight of the marine forests, hopefully more people will donate and help the cause!

11:17 THIS LOOKED LIKE A TRAILER ON A CREATURE WHICH SOON GETS REVEALED- and bro probably got bankrupt all for us. THANK YOU MAN, I LOVE OCEAN LIFE! (I choose to be a marine biologist when I’m older.)

Man the sea is so coordinated. Like something helps this and that thing helps it back.

The cinematography in this video is absolutely stunning! The combination of narration and music was not only a delightful experience but also incredibly educational. I learned so much about reef tanks while being thoroughly entertained. Fantastic work!

10:46 that fish looks high asf 😭😭

Books about the ocean are information giving but this takes it to a whole new level it’s not just a book it’s a video which is already more high quality but not just a video… it’s a masterpiece.

Bro, you just WOW 🤩 me and my friends watch your videos and we thought how you made this type of videos. Just INCREDIBLE😍

Your videos are like a professional documentary, thank you for everything you do!!

This guy house is probably a mini earth

Absolutely loved this video. Well done.

dr plants please post another satisfying awesome video, the wait has been to longggg! There’s just not enough of your videos and I need to see more….THE WORLD NEEDS TO SEE MORE!!!!
