Growing corals in a greenhouse is not perfect. This video covers the top 5 benefits of greenhouse aquaculture as well as the top 5 reasons to hate life while trying to grow corals in one.

Hi Have you ever used a pond liner, as thinking a making a large reef pond in a green house. Thanks
Nobody is going to get divorced over this bhahaha
um first of all I'm building an out door saltwater pond i live in asia so season is no problem i got the chiller thing to keep temperature stable but i do not want to invest in lighting so the purpose of my out door pond is the natural sun light. Is it good to use natural light or i might end up bleaching my corals? Also what are your tips? 🙂 i would kill for an answer.
I need to visit from D.C.
can you control the natural spawning of corals
I have to take out 95% of corals in order to catch engineer goby. some corals are 2 ft across.and difficult to find container and them have to fill container each one. Can I place corals on flat surface and cover with paper towels if so how much time do you think they would last if kept wet. Tank size 200 gal reef and fish. Thanks Ron
LOL, you cracked me up about the helicopters! That really would be a noisy irritation. I guess that naturally means no MJ for you, oh well… i enjoyed your video. :●}
i love it ! está genial ! tengo que ir algun día! felicidades! saludos desde Venezuela!
plot twist: Tidal Gardens is secretly a multimillion Marijuana plant
also, how do you protect the wires and equipment from rusting?
question, you mentioned that the greenhouse is open air, how does it stay 80F in the winter? What is the hydro like operating that if you dont mind my asking?
what kind of temperatures are you reaching on your hottest days? do you find that chillers can handle the capacity they are designed for when used in a greenhouse versus using them in an air conditioned home?
Great reasons – you're hilarious – love your dry humor
Are you growing water plants such as Marijuana. Lol choppers
Great video, just next time you dont have to put your face in the video.
Comment on the shading please.
This is a great video. I am really enjoying all of your videos. This is my favorite so far.
Screw the NSA man.
I love hosing down my house. I do it everytime I do a water change!!! Jokes aside. Love your channel. Ita my new favourite. Its like having lessons in the most intresting hobby. You the man! Than!
(Spoken as Arnold)"TO THE CHOPPUH!"
Hey what about try out puting fotor acting vinille all over the places
I love your sense of humour! I want to see more of it in your videos!
Hay Stan how do you control your phosphates and nitrates in such a large setup besides skimming?
Question: Do you sell and propagate the corals and how do you do that?
LOL great video! "helicopters" huh! lol
I'm so glad I found your channel. I love your videos. Thanks for sharing
Police officer walks in "What kind of sick weed are you growing in here?!"
thought cost to heat and cool the greenhouse would have been on the list somewhere.
I'd think a greenhouse would lose a lot of heat in the winter?
Are the hydras ready to use right outa the box. Or do u need to buy the controller as we'll
hahah "NSA is watching"
The last part about the helicopters was funny
Greatly appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this.
I can only imagine the lessons you've learned setting that up. Interesting experiment would be a dehumidifier connected to a roll of plants without soil. I've seen this applied in Florida Green houses and it greatly controlled the amount of material rust as well as controlling. The amount of water it captured was amazing
Is there a controller on the market that will sync moon lights with the actual real-world phases?
Just took down an old greenhouse at my place. But it was from the 1940's with tons of glass, wood and steal frame and was already coming down.
I wonder if any of your pros or cons would change if you were located somewhere other than Ohio? Perhaps somewhere that there are no mosquitos.
Hopefully you don't take any crap from the cops….your 4th Amendment rights should not allow them to just stop by and search you becasue you have a greenhouse.
Nsa lol
So after all the bads they seem to cancel out the greenhouse so why have it? The top five loves are really not worth having it so why not use a a different structure or facility
Really interesting! I have to ask why do you use lighting if you have natural light which with the right engineering you could channel and switch as you like…? Another one, what is your favourite and what is your most expensive coral?
If you were building on that space over again. would you build a green house or a warehouse?
Facial expressions were priceless 🙂 Love the videos, long time subscriber, keep up the good work!
That was awesome! Many good laughs!
Helicopters… lots of them.
Great video!
You should write "GROWING CORAL, NOT POT" on your roof in large bright letters. Or maybe "CORAL FARM: TAKE A TOUR"
Show more of your body. Do a bust view.
Dude! your funny, love your last bit, and expressions.
