So I’ve had this idea in my head the last few days and can’t shake it. I’m planning on spending the next year or so travelling and wondered about producing high quality short videos of top home aquariums around the world while I'm at it. I inadvertedly started this with a shoddy video of Chingchai’s tank 8 years ago.

Maybe I’m getting ahead of myself but it could be expanded to aquarists and academics doing interesting things (Jamie Craggs and the like) or in the field at actual reefs for coral restoration, farming etc.

Kind of following this format for these architecture videos:

Short and snappy, say 5 minutes long with the owner giving a voiceover describing the system with some nice visuals of the tank in it's surroundings.

A complimentary idea is to also film a static high quality shot of the tank from the best angle for a long time: 15-30 minutes with some relaxing royalty-free music over the top.

What do you think of the ideas? I don’t follow many coral YouTubers, is there a niche for this type of thing?

Any feedback, suggestions or tips? Most importantly, would you enjoy it?
