Our resident Reef Builders video and podcast presenter Remy went to Aquashella last weekend, bumped into a few famous reefers, got tips on the rarest and most expensive corals there, and did a little watch shopping on the way.
First, he bumped into Chris Meckley of ACI Aquaculture and got the guided tour of the numerous coral booths and what was hot, and what Chris would be taking back to add to his collection.
But before the show Remy stopped and did what all hardcore reefers do – sniffed out a reef tank in a high-end watch store, meaning he got to look at a Red Sea tank and a Rolex at the same time.
Back at the show he caught Joe Yaiullo scaping a tiny tank (compared to his own 20,000-gallon tank,) with some cool Caribsea rock, as well as checking out an All-in-One aquarium collaboration with an algae scrubber built in, and a $7500 Purple Monster Jawbreaker mushroom. It’s all in a day’s work for Remy…
