About This Video

Tour Gio’s 53-gallon Red Sea all-in-one mixed reef in the greater Miami area. With no sump, the aquarium is packed from top to bottom with SPS, LPS, soft corals, mushrooms, NPS corals, and a colorful scolie garden. Gio explains how observing coral growth, extension, lighting, and flow guides his placement decisions. As colonies grow, he adjusts pumps, return nozzles, and coral positions to meet the changing needs of the reef.

The aquarium also houses clownfish, a black tang, anthias, a Midas blenny, a six-line wrasse, candy basslets, a mandarin goby, and a flame hawk, along with a clam and cleanup crew. Gio performs weekly 15-gallon water changes and uses Red Sea’s four-part Complete Reef Care program. G2 ReefLED 60 lights run on a 13-hour cycle, while smart plugs coordinate return pumps with automatic feeding. He feeds TDO pellets, occasionally offers coral foods, and doses live phytoplankton periodically. Rather than making drastic adjustments, Gio tests regularly and favors slow changes that support stability.

Key takeaways

  • The 53-gallon all-in-one system runs without a sump.
  • The mixed reef combines SPS, LPS, soft, and NPS corals.
  • Coral placement and flow are adjusted by observing coral response.
  • Weekly maintenance includes a 15-gallon water change.
  • Smart plugs pause return pumps around automatic feedings.
  • Gio prioritizes stable routines and gradual parameter changes.

All right, reefers. We are still south here down in the greater Miami area and today we're hanging out with Gio with his Red Sea tank here. And I am really, really excited about talking about this one. Recently on the channel, we've shown off some really big tanks, some bigger systems, but you guys seem to love the smaller tanks that are a little bit more feasible [music] for all of us everyday reefers. So, Gio, let's get into this tank right away. First off, how'd you get into the hobby? How did you get into saltwater? So, that's a funny story. Uh when I was 14 years old initially, I went to the store, PetSmart specifically, with my bicycle and a [music] wagon. I took the sides off of the wagon and made it a flatbed. I was holding the wagon with one hand uh while I was on my bike. I had string. I was with my buddy. We took a 20-gallon tank from the store while my mom was gone driving my sisters [music] uh to their dance classes. And then I snuck this thing in the house, set everything up, went to the store, got my first fish in coral, and it was just from there on something that I truly had a passion for, [music] and it's amazing. This is a 53 gallon tank. Um, [music] truly loaded, you know, top to bottom. You could see I got quite a bit of everything in here. It's a beautiful mixed reef. I got the SPS corals in here, LPS softies. Um, it's absolutely something that I, you know, have a passion for in the sense of making sure I'm able to grow corals, keep them colored. Um, it's, you know, nice to have a tank that's a manageable size. Like you said, um, not everybody can put a giant tank in their house, and sometimes giant tanks aren't that easy, too. small ones, they got their own uh you [music] know niche to them. They're difficult, but they're um obviously something that you can maintain better, you know, in terms of it being easier to clean your glass and do water [music] changes um on a small system versus a big system. That's that's something that I like about this. Um it's an all-in-one. There's no sump in here. So, it's truly spectacular what I've been able to do with this. I've amazed [music] myself um to be quite honest with you with how much coral I've been able to fit in here. Yeah, this thing is completely loaded and really cool to hear too. I think a lot of time people get into reef keeping and immediately they kind of get that idea like, hey, if I really want to make a system that's worthwhile, I need to have a sump. I've got to have space for all the equipment. I've got to have the room for all these things. This is a prime example. You've got basically an all-in-one, right? And you are running a system that's immaculate. Let's go ahead and start talking about your corals. I've got a ton of questions, but I'm going to let you take it away. Why did you roll into the mixed reef feel? I know that's typically a lot of people like to do that cuz you get a little taste of every single flavor under the ocean, but how did we get to the mixed reef that we have here? So SPS, right? they're they're difficult in their own sense of water parameters, flow requirements, um lighting [music] obviously as well. And so to be able to create an environment where I can have all that is [music] a challenge and I like to push myself. So that's uh one of the reasons why I went with doing a mixed reef. Um I I love also LPS how the movement of the corals just [music] totally makes a tank in my opinion. Uh, but the the way and structure of SPS corals, [music] that's that it's what gets me. It's just phenomenal to see something branching out. [music] Um, you know, I I love softies, too. You can't forget about those. I got tons of mushrooms in here. [music] I started with one uh tequila sunrise. I probably got about 12 of them. Um, it's it's awesome. I even have some NPS [music] corals in here. Um, sun corals are typically open during the night time. Um, when I do some heavy feedings during the day, occasionally they'll be open, but mainly at night time in the early mornings, which is also awesome to see. It's It's really, [music] you know, a unique environment that I created in here. One of my favorite things in the tank is right smack in the front, man. That scolie garden is to die for. Some people wish they could have one nice skull. You've gone above and beyond if you've got a ton of skullies. How did you roll into creating a scolie garden here in this tank? Well, so yeah, you know, I've obviously online all the time looking at looking at everybody's sites in terms of uh and other reefers too, right? So, you get a lot of motivation from other people's tanks. Um, a lot of my motivation for creating a mixed tank has come from other reefers. But yeah, I've seen some crazy scolie gardens and [music] it just drawed my attention. So I was like, I have to create my own. And the thing is too, skullies are unique. Um, they got, yeah, you got your war paints and your bleeding apples, but you got different variations and different patterns. No two are exactly the same. Um, so it's it's been fun to be able to kind of hunt down which pieces exactly I [music] put in here. That's a really good point. They're all their own special little snowflake, right? They all are different in their own unique way. I think one of the biggest challenges in reef keeping honestly in a ton of people's opinion is placement, right? You don't really think about placement initially when you're starting out and you're starting to put corals into your tank. The placement of your corals in this system [music] is immaculate, man. I really I have to give you like all the kudos in the world because you fit in so many things and so many different pieces, but you fit them in a way that it works. It flows super well and even in all of your shaded areas, the you know, you've got the NPS corals tucked away inside of there. How did you go about deciding the placement of these corals? Was this something you kind of mapped out in your mind or how did you get to this point where we've got this pretty much perfect placement of these corals? No, thank you. So, a a lot of it too [music] is just paying attention um to the corals, right? And being able to see whether they're happy with the flow that you got with the lighting. Um, I've gone in there with a PAR meter numerous amount of times. I've changed a lot of things and moved around a lot of things. When you look at my page, I mean, you're able to see that. Um, but so, like I said, it's it's paying attention to the corals and to their [music] growth, whether they're opening up fully in that spot. And, you know, corals adapt, too. So, sometimes, you know, online it'll tell [music] you they could only be at a certain par. they could handle lower or higher. So that's something that a lot of reefers I feel like don't really, you know, listen to in the sense of just listening to your corals and [music] looking at them and being able to see, you know what, that one's getting too much flow. It's closed up. It's got maybe too much light. Let me move it. And then you leave it there for a couple weeks. You know, if it's doing great there, why why move it again? And then for your fish, the corals obviously take up a bunch of the spotlight here in this tank, but you've got some really cool fish in here. I mean, I love the livestock you've got going in the entire tank. Let's talk about your fish, the initial fish that came into the tank first and then also all the other fish that we can't even see right now in this moment. Yeah, so it's actually pretty loaded in here in terms of livestock. Uh heavy bol load, right? These two clown fish right there, the storms, those are my first uh fish getting back into the hobby cuz I did have a little bit of a break. So when I was 14, got in it. Um then 10ear gap, got back in it. Um then those guys were the first pair that I got. First pair of clown fish. They're awesome. I just love the pattern. I mean they got a great personality. But uh beautiful black tang. That's one of my favorite fish. I mean um antheus in here. I got a Midas blenny. Um, six line rass. I, you know, I kind of try to get some working fish, too. And that's one of them. It does a great job at being able to pick any pests. Um, my two favorite fish in here, [music] which are always hiding, but they're spectacular, is the candy basslets. I got a mated pair of candy basslets. They're a rare deep water basslet and [music] just so colorful and unique. Um, hard to hard to come by, too. So, [music] um, it's, you know, been a challenge in terms of picking fish. [music] You know, the tang eventually it's going to have to go in a bigger system, right? Can you put one in a smaller system? Yes, but only for a certain amount of time. Um, but all the fish that I've picked, I feel like I have picked for a certain reason. And whether that be for the looks or for it actually, [music] you know, contributing to the tank, um, they're all there for a reason. I I got a mandarin goi in there somewhere. I got a flame hawk in there. It's [music] just, you know, sometimes I forget that I even have that fish because they're always hiding. There's so many spots. It's [music] It's great. Yeah. For this size system, I think you've done a good job of picking out a great group of fish, not only that can work for the tank, but something you can enjoy, too, as well. We had a situation before. You had two tanks in the tank, correct? We were talking about it off camera a little bit. Let's talk about that situation. All fish are different, right? They have personalities. They'll act certain ways. No fish is going to be the same. Let's talk about that situation. Yeah. So, I had a yellow tang in here. And actually, the black tang and yellow tang were the same exact size. I got them tiny, maybe 1 and 1/2 in uh tangs when I got them in. Uh that was back in February. So, it's been some time. They grew. They were always fin flaring. Um and part of that reason is, you know, just natural aggression that it occurs between um that specific species of tanks, right? And so also tank size that definitely can contribute to the factor of their aggression um as they're growing and getting bigger. So actually for the longest time, you know, no problems, not ripping up each other's fins, just fin flaring. And then one day it actually started nipping at some of my corals, specifically the ganis. Um I lost a few. It was unfortunate. I have a couple in there that have bounced back actually, but um I since took that tang out and we moved them to my buddy's house and uh this guy's been doing fine in here. You know, I love the black tang and it's snout to go into the deep crevices and and pick at the rock work. Um but yeah, I do miss my yellow tang a lot. It's it's a staple in this hobby. And I mean, when I was 14, I remember them being $30. Um, uh, the price has changed drastically. It's a beautiful fish to have. In my opinion, the black tang, when it comes to a a loaded reef tank, though, you know, when it's kind of a tank that's still developing, there's just the rock, there's just some frags, it's kind of hard to tell. But the contrast of your black tank against the vibrant colors is something. It's like the chef's kiss in my opinion for this tank. Now, let's talk about some of the inverts and the other critters. One of the things that really drew my eyes immediately was the clam right up front. Let's talk about the clam, how long you've had it, and then let's get into your cleanup crew. Yes. So, that clam uh I've had for about 2 years now. Um I got that one from Clammania back in Reef of Palooa. Um so, that's an awesome, you know, filter feeder. It's um it's great. I really don't do anything special for it. I do dose live phytolanton in here uh quite often, but it's been growing. I got it maybe half of the size that it was. Um the color is absolutely spectacular. It catches my eye. Um it it's great. You know, in terms of other uh inverts in here, I have tons of little hermit crabs, tons of different snails, sand sifters. Um I got a biscuit starfish in here too, which some people, you know, question, is it reef safe? Um and they are. I haven't had any issues with it. You'll see that later in the video. I got a sea urchin in here. Um, it is fully packed with a cleanup crew in here, and that's what helps. Um, and honestly, I think is one of the biggest things in maintaining a proper clean tank environment. Okay. Now, you brought up what I was going to get into next, maintenance on this tank. I'm curious to hear with a system like that. What's your maintenance routine? What's the schedule for it? And how are we making it look this good? Yeah. So, I do a weekly 15gallon water changes on here. Very diligent about that. I never uh never miss my water change. I mean, that's just something that needs to be done. Um and that's what helps, you know, keep a stable environment in my opinion is keeping your routine to be the same. Um so, that's one of the main things on here. I do dose um some of Red Sea's nox that you know helps keep my nutrients at bay. Um in terms of you know actual uh maintenance of the pumps and whatnot you know you go 2 months give or take. You know you kind of pay attention to those things. It's more of a visual thing. Sometimes the snails do a great job cleaning it up. Other times they don't. And uh that's when I get in there and [music] do the deep cleaning. And then talking about some of the dosing you're doing, what are you dosing the system currently? Yes. So this is actually uh fully dosed on Red Seas's four uh part complete reef care. It's a great program. I mean provides all the trace elements in there. It's keeps my numbers super stable. What I love most about that program is that it's designed for all the bottles to run out at the same time. And I can attest because I've been using it for almost a year now. Um the results that you get are just terrific. [music] I think sometimes people question the Red Sea fourpart. I know we've had that question in the retail store. This is an awesome example. I mean, all decked out in Red Sea gear, all decked out with Red Sea dosing. And the proof's in the pudding. Right now, we're talking more about the equipment in the tank. Let's talk about some of the different things we're running in the system. You do something. I've mentioned this in several videos here now recently, but keeping the equipment out of the tank. I love that even with it being an all-in-one, you've maintained keeping a lot of stuff out of the tank. Let's talk about the different equipment we're running. We can start with the lights and kind of work our way in. Yeah, so these are the uh G2 Reef LED60s. Um, spectacular light. I mean, I love running a white spectrum of lighting during the daytime and this light, you're able to do that. last two hours of the day, that's when I got my heavy blues. The schedule on the lights, how long are the lights running for? Yeah, so the lights are on a uh 13 hour cycle actually. Um so I do have the moon lights on for about uh I think 2 hours afterwards. Uh but so they ramp on. Um like I said, white spectrum lighting is is my go-to for the entire day. my last two hours, uh, that's when we ramp down the whites. Um, and the last hour is just full blue. That's when I put on, you know, my glasses and I'm paying attention to the bright colors that I got in here. But, uh, yeah, these are terrific lights. I, you know, have been able to grow the corals and keep them happy with the red sea lights. It's it's great. If people were wondering if the Red Sea lights can actually grow corals, here's a great example. What I love on this tank specifically is the fact that I have the nanom mat that makes a world of difference when it comes to maintenance. Um truly a spectacular device. I got the um you know dosing pump on there. Um let's see what else do I got. I got some pumps on here. The wave makers AI orbit and the neuro. [music] Um those are great. I mean flow is one of the most important things I think in tanks and it's challenging to you know get the right flow. Um I have a generator on the bottom right. So that is actually also hooked up to a smart plug which my return pumps are hooked on. So, when I have my automatic feeder going off, I have my return pumps shut off about 2 minutes prior to that. And they'll stay off for about 10 minutes and then they'll automatically kick back on. And that has helped obviously, you know, maintain a clean environment and food not getting sucked in the back of the tank in the filtration and sitting in there and rotting, right? Rather than being super hands-on, right? That's kind of what you've tried to create with this system is being hands off. So that way you can just enjoy the system rather than constantly working on it. Not like you don't right with your maintenance that you're doing. You're still able to work on it a little bit, but it's more so focused on just being able to enjoy it. Yeah, that is one of the biggest things for me. Um and huge, you know, um huge fan of like all the systems that they do have out there that are even more complex. I mean, you know, you got Neptune out there with um the ability to do almost everything, right? And you really do see that in some systems. Um people being able to just be completely hands off and you can do that on a cheaper budget, too. Um which goes to show with smart plugs here what you can what you can do. Um it's great. I mean, I do think that those products, Neptune, you know, I think products out there [music] on the market that are intended for that specific use, I I think they're good. I'm not um shaming them, but I think there's other ways that you could approach it. And, you know, all depends what's in your budget, too. I think that's about it. It's pretty simple. I mean, your standard heater, uh, but it's really not that complex. Uh yet I got this thing fully loaded when it comes to the corals. Flow is a really tricky thing to get right and I think you've done a good job showcasing that you can have SPS LPS all in a similar system near each other and getting the proper amount of flow. Now I'm curious to hear from you as the tank has developed and grown in more. Have you had to adjust the flow at all? Maybe increase it, move the pumps around. Is that something you've had to do? Oh, absolutely. That's like I said earlier. So, big thing is paying attention to your corals, right? Um you're going to see when something, you know, is growing a certain way because of the flow. Um and so if you don't like that, maybe that's something you need to change. Um another thing is the the torches, right? Those require some uh pretty particular flow in my opinion. I mean, you can see the extension on this one over here. It's just they're happy. It's the right flow. Ghani's [music] same situation. Um it it it is challenging to figure out, but I definitely have uh had to [music] adjust it, increase it, uh you know, move where my pump is located. Same with the return nozzles. As things grow, [music] um things change. And then for feeding the tank, what are we feeding the fish? And also, what are we feeding the corals? Yes. So, some TDO pellets um from Reef Nutrition. Those are great. Um [music] then in terms of the corals, you know, I I don't spot feed too often. Maybe maybe once a month with some mic shrimp. Um mix up a little slurry of reefoids, but really I'm not doing anything too [music] often. A lot of it is just, you know, an established system. Um I got tons of, you know, pods in here. Um, it's it's great that I don't have to do anything crazy when it comes to feeding them. Um, [music] I would say that, you know, live phytolanton plays a big role, too, within my corals and them being happy. How much live phto are you dosing? Yeah. So, I do it maybe about once a month, right? Cuz it's interesting. I mean, in the ocean, you don't get surpluses of phytolanton uh 24/7. they come in weights. So, I kind of took that idea and that's where I came up with [music] uh you know, let me just dose phytolankton once a month here. Um, and I do it over about a week. Um, go through the whole bottle. And so, it's it's great. I mean, I'll just dump some in there. I do different uh different types. I actually love using your guys phytolankton. [music] It's it's great stuff. um particular to choosing your phytolankton. Um [music] it's it's good stuff, man. I really am happy with the results. I think, you know, it speaks for itself. Everything that I'm using um obviously is benefiting from um from it. Yeah, you made a great point. You know, the surplus of phytolanin isn't happening all the time. So, the concept of giving a little bit during the course of the month is actually really smart. [music] I've never thought of it in that exact way. You're kind of debunking a myth in a lot of people's minds when it comes to these larger stony corals. Right? We're talking about our LPS corals here. We've got the skull garden. I've got these nice, beautiful next to me. Most people think in their minds, I got to I got to spot feed these all the time. I got to get them huge, big feedings of micis and refoids. Like you said, you may do it every once in a while, but it's a great testament to show that you don't actually need to do that all the time. Is there anything else, you know, wise, you know, that you think may be attributing to their success? Well, you know, again, I think it's just overall factors of [music] of flow and light uh that contributes to the happiness um of the corals and the health. So yeah, in terms of you [music] know constant feeding, I really feel like I don't want to do that just uh specifically to bacterial issues. Um I've heard from a lot of reefers that do spot feed, you know, pellets pretty often that they've had some nasty [music] um you know, stories in regards to stuff going south. So, that has kind of made me want to find another way um [music] to keep these, you know, corals in here happy and healthy. And I think I'm doing a great job. I mean, they look all happy to me for sure. And you I forgot to ask before the numbers on the tank. You're running the Red Sea kind of method there, the care kit. What's the numbers you're shooting for on this system? you know, so I don't love chasing numbers, uh, in particular because actually, you'd be really surprised. I'll tell you, um, my phosphate at one point in this tank was crazy high. [laughter] Um, so I know, you know, we're we're always shooting for under like 0.1. Um, I had it up at 6, super high. Everything was fine. Stuff adapts. Um the thing is, you know, rapid change corals get stressed out and can't handle. Um slow changes over time they can. So I've since brought that number back in the proper range. Um like I said though, I don't chase the numbers like crazy. Um, I like to keep them, you know, in the range that's desired, uh, for the hobby for keeping corals, the specific, you know, calcium levels and, uh, alkalinity. I run at, you know, flat 8. Um, that that one's very stable. Um, especially with this fourpart system. I mean, that helps keep my numbers, you know, stable. But yeah, I I do test uh pretty often. I think it's important. [music] But in terms of making changes, I'm not, you know, going to do something drastic. It's going to be over time. I'm going to see, you know, maybe do I need to increase my water change? Would that help? Should I dose more [music] no pox? And I test things out slowly and then we'll test my numbers and we'll see. But I'm not uh, you know, needing to be at those numbers all the time. The sand bed, kind of curious to ask you. [music] Your sand bed has kind of a mixture of different sized particulates. You've got, you know, the finer stuff. You also have some kind of small pebbles, it seems like. Let's talk about the sand and what kind of sand it even is. Uh, I remember it's it's Fiji uh sand uh specific brand, you know, I I don't remember, but it it was two different types. Um, one was more, you know, fine grain and then one wasn't. uh had pieces of those small pebbles, rocks and shelves uh which I think is important in the sense of you know high flow environment too, [music] right? Um stuff will settle where where it needs to [music] um and that also will help the fine stuff from blowing around everywhere. So that was my reasoning for, you know, combining two sands uh together. And I just love the look of it, too. Um, I didn't go with a super deep sand bed as you could see, and I don't [music] think it's necessary. Um, some people, you know, they'll they'll tell you how it is beneficial. Some people tell you how it's horrible and it's just building stuff up. Um, I have plenty of sand sifters in here and they do a great job at keeping it clean. I'm happy with what I chose. Yeah, I think it looks great in my opinion. I like the natural look to it. I did want to ask, you know, when it comes to your mandarin, are you actively dosing copaods to the tank? Is that something you're bringing into the system or are you allowing this mature tank to kind of just feed that [music] secondhandly? No. So, the mandarin I'm not dosing uh anything in particular for him. I mean, the rock work in here is about 2 and 1/2 years old. I got plenty of pods. Uh what helps maintain that, you know, um establishment of cocoa pods, I think, is dosing phytolankton. you know, you're starting from the from the bottom up. Um, so he's [music] constantly going around, you know, just picking and seems totally happy and healthy to me. I've had him for a while now. Um, it is a wild, you know, caught [music] mandarin. Um, so it's it's great to see that you can have one and not have to, you [music] know, dose uh all the time in here. When you have established, you know, rocks and an environment of cocoa pods, it's not necessary. The tank is chalk full of corals now, right? We're at the point where there's no real room. We're not really adding pieces in. And if we are, how are we looking at adding new pieces in? Are we swapping some older pieces out? going with maybe something a little bit new. Are we looking at even adding anything new or are we just kind of running with what we've got? Uh, so I actually have about five uh Ghanis coming next week, little frags. [laughter] Um, that's that's one of the things, right? It's a challenge especially when it's [music] this packed is um there's obviously not not much space here and [music] certain corals sting each other, right? So, that's something that needs to be um [music] you know in the back of your mind when you're thinking about adding pieces and how pieces are going to grow too, right? So, that's been a challenge when it comes to [music] adding things. I have done a little bit of swapping um out old pieces for sure, but you know, in terms of other add-ons, I don't think I got much uh [laughter] much space to work with here. [music] But I'm happy with what I got. Um I can't wait to get a bigger tank and, you know, build that up. But yeah, this this is going great. Um I've had torches go from one head to, you know, four on here and, you know, get a little close to the hammers and that's when I got to trim them or move them back a little bit. And it's getting to that point where, you know, I'm going to have to get in there and start doing some trimming. um otherwise stuff is going to start stinging each other. But, you know, everything's getting along pretty well. I've had it like this for a while. Um it's it's [music] great. I see maybe two spots that you could put maybe those gnies. There's only a couple sections left of some bare rock that you could fit them in. But you just mentioned it, the idea of an upgrade. Red Sea, we got to get this guy a bigger tank because I want to see what you can do with an even bigger system. What would be the goal or the hope in mind if you were going to get into a new tank? What size tank would you want to get into? Well, so I think my goal is to go over a 100 gallons for sure. Not over 200. I don't want to go too big. Um, again, I wanted something that's manageable for me and my lifestyle. Um, life's busy, you know. Not everybody has uh all day to dedicate to their tank. I really only do maintenance on this thing once a week besides cleaning the glass here and there. And that's kind of the same thing that I'd want uh to go for. Um I'd want to do a mixed reef as well. I think the biggest thing with a bigger tank is having some more sand space and swimming space for some fish. I think I want to definitely get into, you know, having some schools of tangs and whatnot, but um I would like it just as packed on the rock work of coral. [laughter] Um but yeah, it's it's truly, you know, um spectacular building a tank. It's it it takes a lot of thought, you know, in the sense of the different requirements of corals. Like I said, flow, lighting, uh all of it. It it all comes into play. It's something that I really want to get into is the bigger tanks. Um it they're a challenge of their own. It's like I said, small tanks too, nanos, because you know, parameter swings are just a lot um [laughter] a lot more likely to happen than a big system. But, you know, keeping uh a big system has its own challenges and I like challenges. So, this tank was a challenge for me in the sense of um [music] you know, packing it as much as I did and I kind of want to continue that challenge with the bigger system. Jake Adams would come into people's home and he would always ask the tank tour people, you know, what would be a piece of advice, something that you would give to a new reef keeper if they were getting into the hobby or just a reef keeper in general. Someone that I kind of strive to try and bring that content back towards the hobby. And so I want to hear from you. This tank is something that everyone should strive for. Genuinely, this is a beautiful system. It's probably one of my favorite, and I'm not just saying it cuz I'm here today, but it's one of my favorite tanks we've ever sat down and been able to talk about. Not just due to the fact that it's chalk full of corals. It's your passion with it is very impressive and you've done an amazing job with it. Just every single little detail to me really gets me excited and kind of gives me goosebumps talking about it cuz I just I just love what you've done with the tank. So, piece of advice. No. Yeah. Thank you for all that. Um I think, you know, as far as uh for anybody out there that is looking for advice, I think one of the biggest things, right, is patience. Um not everything can happen overnight. It does require some time, you know, and you're going to come across challenges. Um, the best way I think that I've been able to handle those challenges has been reaching out to other reefers, other experienced uh, hobbyists and, you know, doing my research obviously online. Everybody's got a different way of doing things, right? So, no two tanks are going to be exactly the same. Um, that's that's one of the things that you have to understand. Um, you could do one thing one way and another person could be doing it the the same way and it's just not working out in their tank. And there's there's factors and reasoning for that. But, um, yeah, patience and just, you know, really reaching out there and doing your research. Well, thank you, Gio, for letting me come by, crash in your apartment, and check out this amazing tank.
