TSA's New Farm Build; 10,000 Gallons of Aquacultured Awesomeness

[TopShelfAquatics]

I am so happy you guys are doing this and documenting it for all of us to see. I know I just bought my Red Sea Reefer 750xxl and four Raidon pros I just got from you but I just couldn't imagine 150 of them. You guys rock.

We thought most people would enjoy seeing it progress from start to when we eventually out grow this one as well
Its going to be a whole lot more interesting when theres coral in here haha

Wow, impressive indeed. How am I just now discovering you guys? I know who I'll be getting my next batch of corals from, that's for sure. Any upcoming live sales? Don't want to miss out. ;-)

Keep up the great work. Aquaculture = the future of reef keeping.

Live sales are towards the end of the year but word has it we'll have a nice sale in February

Spectacular! Can't wait to visit your store in June!

Cant wait to meet ya! Ask to see the farm!

Congratulations on your new farm, how long will it take to Cycle and start producing frags? Also anything Crazy in the pipes waiting to be released? any teasers???????
Say hello to Steve & Claudia

They're all cycled already and corals start going in this week(mostly softies and some LPS).
We have tons of new releases coming this year of pieces that have been growing for a while
I'll let steven know you said hi! (This is Claudia haha)

The arrival of the tanks and sumps

Tanking being filled

Canopies being mounted

Adding in lighting

Now that's a sump I could use. 24x16x72 or 96 long

Looks amazing! I can’t wait to see the progress. Great job!

Now that's a sump I could use. 24x16x72 or 96 long

We custom build them too
Its a 96, the sumps are generally used to grow out corals along with space for filtration. We will likely have our signature compartment full of dragons breath and we have others that are pretty much just used to house fish(for bioload) and grow mushrooms

Congrats on such an awesome expansion! LRS is happy and proud to have been able to tag along over the years while you have grown. TSA has always treated us like family.

I skipped over this one by accident earlier but thanks guys!

It might seem random but I'm curious what kind of other inhabitants you plan for the farm tanks?

Lots of fish(tons of chromis, cardinals, tangs, blennies, clownfish, wrasses etc) to produce waste and lots of trochus, mexican turbos and stomatella snails

Absolutely stunning guys!!! I truly wish we had places like you guys here in Aus!

I do have one question, do you find much difference in coral health/colour between the Radions/MH and Radions/T5 combos?? And just in terms of what you enjoy looking at?
