Video

I remember watching this video for the first time. I had no idea who Jake Adams was and got curiousabout saltwater. Started researching. Started following reef builders and learning aboute marine aquariums. About 3 months ago I learned about Jakes passing. When I found out I remember coming back to this video and verified it was him. I miss Jake and based on the date of this video he was gone by the time I was introduced to his work. It saddens me to know he is gone, but I am thankful for his legacy. Hope there's still people out there keeping the Reefer's code alive. RIP Jake Adams.

Beautiful paterns!

Great talk Sanjay…but I have a question regarding diluted alcohol for carbon dosing. If alcohol and water doesn’t mix, how are diluting the solution, so it doesn’t separate in the dosing container?

Alright

What if my kittens eat it?

In my home, when i shower I would always see one, I thought they were called amphibians until I saw this, wait a minute why in the shower?

Whip spider ?

First and I got one today

They dont follow you but your shadow if theres no shadow they dont have intrest

A couple of errors in the first 10 minutes re:the Refield ratio. This was work done on phytoplankton, not corals, or bacteria or cyanobacteria. They all exhibit a different ratio than 16:1. For example, corals are 50:1, bacteria are 10:1, cyano is 5:1. Secondly, he left out an important difference, yes the ratio is NO3-N:PO4-P but it is not as simple as merely taking your NO3 or PO4 and converting this to N and P then dividing, because these are mass quantities and the Redfield ratio is a molar ratio, not a massic ratio. So when you read the scientific literature on N:P ratios, these are molar ratios being discussed. To convert your NO3 and PO4 values into a molar N:P ratio, it is NO3 (mg/L)/PO4 (mg/L) x 1.53 = N:P molar ratio. Interestingly, his conversion yielding ~10:1 is the correct massic ratio, but he does not explain how he got it. So 16/1.53-= 10, hence his 10:1 NO3:PO4 ratio.

Great representation but please stop saying right after every sentence 🙄😤

How did he die? I know he collapsed on a plane but what actually caused this?

Excellent presentation on nitrates, I love the slide examples he drew up

Why did god ruin a cute spider with SPIKED WHIPS

Every time he said “right?” Drink. Good luck 😂

Who is saying right after each sentence?😡

Of course I would keep one

Why are they called. Vampire crabs?

Man I miss this guy, what an incredible loss to the hobby... he was so passionate and so great at what he did!!!

Thank you for this talk!! I know you aren't getting a ton of views on the video and that is too bad. This is really great info. Nice work

Had to be done. ✊🏼 You will sleep well now. Once it’s completely situated and back to growing, it will be well worth the wait! Happy for you guys! After 20+ years it was time for a reset no doubt!

Yes I want one

terrifying yet adorable

Do not touch them with your bars hands because amphibians skin absorbs liquids /minerals and the oil on your skin can make them sick!

I have one, I named her Moody after Mad Eye Moody from HP. She's skittish but very docile and likes to hide behind the decor in her enclosure. They are excellent pets

Yes!

Plus the time that it takes to sit up the quarteen tank .and you need to stay on top of water changes weekly.😊😊😮😮

Good video.

No and they are only popular because of big box stores not caring what they sell to people. Honestly the common pleco is 1 of the top fish we wish was not in the hobby.

No no no no no. No on

Vampire crabs are strongly racist! Never keep different colors together, they also need a lot of dry land to relax on and a small water area

that’s a really shitty setup, they are being mistreated

I've also been in the hobby 30 years, what all these "experts" fail to grasp is the basics when we talk about No3 and Po4. Our tanks do not represent the ocean, our tanks mimic a coral "colony" coral colonies in the wild are huge, you know what the purpose of the structure of a coral colony? Its to slow down water! Why? In lower flow you get nutrient build up, within the colony the No3 Po4 ratio is 100:1 its here, within the colony that symbiotic microbes can grow and reproduce, creating an oasis in the desert. The coral then farms these microbes and can even release hormones that give them specific instructions and can turn on/off specific genes within bacteria. Our tanks are not a microcosm of the ocean. It behaves as a slice of a coral colony does in the wild. When you think about this it makes perfect sense.

yes

Yes

Who is this guy saying right and right?😂😂

cute❤❤❤❤❤

its sooo colourful ❤

/ tailless whip spider and yes

What I miss are the days where LFS has giant containers of rock and you pick through the rock looking for the perfect piece.

I miss you, Brian so much rest in peace, buddy

This brought a smile to face when it popped up in my recommends this morning. Rip brother!!

Let me save you twenty five minutes. THERE ARE NO MIND BLOWING HACKS.

Jason that was excellent!❤

Please please please, if you're going to record these presentations, focus a camera on the screen so we can see what the lecturer is talking about. We know what Jason Adams looks like, and we need more than a two second glimpse of the slide he's referring to.

Great job!

This talk was very basic. But it was done with a beginner audience in mind and so was well suited for that demographic. What i enjoyed most though is for a guy running a business Joe did what few others do. His message was - Don't buy junk you don't need. You don't need a controller, ozone, calcium reactors etc. That's rare from someone who can profit from hobbyist stupidity. Nice work Joe. Will also say. I bought my lights from Unique Corals, very positive experience.

Great speaker, good information.👍 Joe, you're a natural teacher!

Very straight forward to the point presentation. Easy to follow. Great tips.

Very good presentation.
