13,000 Gallon Outdoor Reef - Backyard Ocean

[mescobar]

SoCal Reefer has a 13K gallon outdoor reef. Has anyone been lucky enough to see this gem in person? Is he a SCR member by chance? lol

I’ve tried to stalk him - he’s down in San Diego! Would love to have a group field trip to check it out in person.

So I take it that he goes to La Jolla a lot to get free SW.

Hmmm...that's pretty crazy! Would definitely like to see this in person, and I was just down in San Diego this weekend.

he mentioned not doing water changes, relying on dosing for trace elements. that's a lot of trace elements

then when it rains he dumps a 50 gallon worth of salt in his surge tank to maintain salinity lol

Well thought out system.

Just discovered his YT channel. That's some system! I wondered if @o2manyfish had seen this yet. Also, I wondered if he was a part of any reefer groups too.

I just saw that coralvue visited him. I see @wishntoboutside Richard in the background.

Yes CoralVue made it down to his house and his backyard was off the hook. Palms, plants, ponds and a large aquarium. I look forward to see this one mature

Inspiring! Wonder what the maintenance and upkeep budget must be?? This is the result of devotion to the hobby and high expendable income
