Love the videos and I’m totally jelly of the studio. That’s a dream come true and you deserve it! One suggestion I thought i’d make would be to have some sort of backup on that ato float valve. With ro/di they’re generally very reliable but you still have the chance of a stray wire, snail or tank leak dumping all that water in. I’d control a solenoid with an apex and float switches but you could use a simple timer to open the solenoid once an hour for a minute. That’d add a huge safety net.
Always look forward to your studio updates. And I love seeing the coral flat. They are looking so good from when you first started the flat. Can't wait for the next video. Hope you're having a great day in the Mile High. And staying warm bro! 😎
Cant wait to see how you get on with the reefer peninsula. Iv been wanting to get a tank setup for a long time so later this year I'll be getting the same reefer peninsula.
Awesome vid and awesome system, love to see the Australian Dallas Acro has made it to America it's one of the first acros I ever tried and I am fortunate enough to be in the marine club (MASOV) that has the man who that acro is named after in it, he is a great bloke and very knowledgeable. :)
Your right along waited video you need to do more always look forward to watching what’s new and up coming on your channel... happy new year buddy looking forward to the monti tank 🤘
The production is always next level man. Love the vids. Wonder how cool the coral would look on an underwater camera with different views if that’s even possible.
Exceptional video tour of your coral flat Jake. I was hoping also to hear what parameters you like to run.. could you let us know please? Especially keen to hear seeing as you have such a diverse range of corals thriving all together in there. Can’t wait to see the Monti tank!!! PS. So stoked to see the Dallas acro looking so happy with you. Any news on Derek’s Indecision? ☺️
👊 Maybe a Sponge & Nudibranch Tank ? A couple Spanish Dancers or something ? Do you think you could keep a few Electric Scallops in the Christmas tank . I Love that tank
Hey, your power supplies for the lights are all touching, you might want to spread them out in the basket so that they can dissipate heat and not die early on you. I really like your setup and love watching your videos!
Thanks for another great video! What are those ball shaped mounts for the micromussas? Are they Brightwell HemiXSpheres or another brand? Thanks again.
Great vid any suggestion on lights that are prices reasonably for a 65 high that’s 36 inches long that’s in the process of turning into a reef tank. Thank you
So you ARE able to take coral from the ocean? It thought it was illegal. If that's legal I would totally go scuba diving and find some nice corals off a shipwreck or something.
I might have missed you mentioning it but will you use any form of CUC? Love the videos Jake! When you frag the weeping willow....I wanna throw my name in the hat!
sometimes seahare or a couple Urchins, maybe a few trochus once the algae is more mature. But for now it's just one yellow, one tomini & one convict tang, plus one molly - and whatever small inverts like stomatellas that have proliferated in the system.
Love channel! Question? I have a 90 gal SW tank with a 40 gal sump. The phosphates is at 10 ppm. How many gallons will I need to change out and at what intervals? Thanks
Same, my phosphates are at 10 ppm too. I’m currently doing 30% water changes weekly and I have chemi pure elite. If you have chaeto in a refugium that also will help lower those levels.
@@samcostin7586 I just completed a 25% water change and added some Brightwell Phosphate-E. I already added some Boyd Chemi-Pure Blue canister filter. I really just want to know, how many water changes will it take for the Phosphate to hit zero?
I happen to notice an aptasia hiding under one of the corals , how do you deal with them spreading all over the corals? I just finally ot my frag tank cleaned out of aptasia , what a battle that was , im still catching an odd one every once n while but I remove them right away , took along time to rid my tank of them
Anybody know what the white and blue coral is? Kinda looks like a hand with fingers, it's stuck on the side glass of the tank with a clip near the euphyllia
I don't sell corals but once I have grown some more out you might be able to spot them in the local area, maybe a certain show coming up in a couple months ;-)
So cool thank you for the response !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ literally had that candy stuck in my head I can’t stop thinking about it. They are my favorite coral, so cool to watch them eat and such good response and I have a few smaller colonies of the ultra green and I just absolutely love them ! Hopefully I’ll get to see them soon🥰🥰🥰
5000mL of kalkwasser a day? Good lord! Oh and deal with those aiptasia in that coral flat before they become an issue. I only saw 2 (Under Evan's green polyp leather, and the Milka Stylo), yank the coral and chop off that part of the rock/plug they're on. I have too many bad memories of chasing aiptasia in a large tank.
This tank will get a total cleanse and I'm aware of the craptaisia, and it's a good bit more than you saw. Also, just upped the Kalk to 7.5 liters per day trying to get the pH to peak closer to 8.5 later in the day.
@@ReefBuildersVideo Yeah, don't want to sound like "aiptasia police" it's just I have PTSD from my bout both aiptasia and valonia on my 6 foot by 5 foot 375G monster... everything went over was bleached and muriatic acided ... except for corals from other tanks... they got their foothold.. and well after about a year I just gave up and gave the tank away and tried the bleach bit again... big difference is you don't have rock structure to deal with, so your battles with it hopefully go much more successfully than mine. It is good that this is the "holding tank" though, so hopefully it acts like the mother of all QT coral tanks. When I visit my cousin in Denver I hope you're open for visitors :D
Always looking forward to your videos. Always learning something. Jake want are you using for a bio load if any in frag tank. Is it necessary say rocks or media? Your studio is coming together nicely.

I’d control a solenoid with an apex and float switches but you could use a simple timer to open the solenoid once an hour for a minute. That’d add a huge safety net.
The ATO has no wires, no pumps, no switches just gravity.
Reef Builders i know 😑. A solenoid and a timer would add a lot of safety.
Best Reefing content on CZcams hands down.
Always look forward to your studio updates. And I love seeing the coral flat. They are looking so good from when you first started the flat. Can't wait for the next video. Hope you're having a great day in the Mile High. And staying warm bro! 😎
Very very very nice setup Jake. 👑
Well thought out! Extremely impressive 👏
Happy Fish Keeping. Happy Coral Keeping 👍 🐠
From Australia 👍💪
This is probably my favorite channel. That flat has come so far!
Great update. Brilliant to see how far you have come over the years 👍
Everything looks great Jake! Keep it up! Can’t wait for the finished work of the fed sea reefer!
This is cool!! We have a Mr Jakes "Coral neighborhood" LOL!!! Love all the different colonies. Lots of color
i love the one that you found on the sunken ship!
This entire project you have going is incredible. Loving the videos Jake!
Nice video Jake! Amazing corals!thank you!
Your great work is paying off!
The lab is looking great. Can't wait for an update on the Redsea tank.
Beautiful update Jake...man thts sick to go and collect a coral and have it in your tank....awesome bro...enjoy.
Everything is coming together really well. I like the different assortment of coral you have Jake. What’s your plans for more fish?
the xx shirt is fire
Cant wait to see how you get on with the reefer peninsula. Iv been wanting to get a tank setup for a long time so later this year I'll be getting the same reefer peninsula.
Your studio better and better everytime you update 👍👍
Very nice. The studio is really coming along.
Look forward to every video! I am learning alot

Since we got a few pieces over to the US after ReefStock Australia the word is starting to spread about this awesome strain
Your right along waited video you need to do more always look forward to watching what’s new and up coming on your channel... happy new year buddy looking forward to the monti tank 🤘
Your corals are looking awesome👍🏼
Awesome Jake! I'd love to hear more about that spider sponge
beautiful color on the corals, congratulation 😍
Holy lyrical rhymes Batman. Everything has come such a long way. This has been an exciting project to follow.
Really enjoying yr videos, so much great info and tips.
there IS a lot of tips and tricks in each video if you're really paying attention
Got some stunning coral there mate so much to choose from
Yes! yes! yes!!!!! Man, keep this fire coming...👏👏👏
Great Vlog Jake coral looking awesome
Sir your video is super fantastic and all your equipment..
The production is always next level man. Love the vids. Wonder how cool the coral would look on an underwater camera with different views if that’s even possible.
so many nice corals, and i thinks i love some corals in the corals table.
I wish you would of painted the blue stripes from the wall onto that white control center.... and that pickle bucket
Nothing to say I won't ;-)
Awesome. Good work.
Exceptional video tour of your coral flat Jake. I was hoping also to hear what parameters you like to run.. could you let us know please? Especially keen to hear seeing as you have such a diverse range of corals thriving all together in there.

Awsome video man. So much eye candy
man I'm just a kid I wish I had that equipment my systems barely going.I barely have any money to support my system ):
Looking good👊👍
👊 Maybe a Sponge & Nudibranch Tank ? A couple Spanish Dancers or something ? Do you think you could keep a few Electric Scallops in the Christmas tank . I Love that tank
Jake You always impress me
Awesome!! ;D Congrats!!
Hey, your power supplies for the lights are all touching, you might want to spread them out in the basket so that they can dissipate heat and not die early on you.
I really like your setup and love watching your videos!
They are spaced and can breathe above and below :-)
Great video 😆👍👍
Nice Stock... i Love your style to make VLog
You ate living the Dream!
Awesome thank you
I love the coral flat.....makes me want my own, if only my wife would agree lol
That is a dream garage! Later on would you get some pipefish for some of your tanks!
Can't wait to get a nice group of dragonface pipes.
Good to see cespitularia in there, they nice
Awesome collection. Can you do a section on corals and which don’t get along next to each other and which do?
Get that bubble algae and aiptasia under control. System looks nice overall. Will be curious how that red gorgonian does.
Dang Jake the studio is really, really shaping up beautifully man. Good job!!! Are you going to sell frags eventually?
nope, only give them away or trade.
Thanks for another great video! What are those ball shaped mounts for the micromussas? Are they Brightwell HemiXSpheres or another brand? Thanks again.
Yes they are the HemiXSpheres
Amazing...
Amazing.
Verry nice!
Everything looks great. Where is the weeping willow frag?
Great vid any suggestion on lights that are prices reasonably for a 65 high that’s 36 inches long that’s in the process of turning into a reef tank. Thank you
Illumagic Blaze
Jake where your videos at man?! I’ve been waiting to see that montipora tank
Hi just curious on the fish you have in the coral table. What species are in there why did you choose them?
What are you feeding the Christmas tank?
So you ARE able to take coral from the ocean? It thought it was illegal. If that's legal I would totally go scuba diving and find some nice corals off a shipwreck or something.
I might have missed you mentioning it but will you use any form of CUC? Love the videos Jake! When you frag the weeping willow....I wanna throw my name in the hat!

I would kill to collect my own coral.
Legally of course :)
can you do a video on reef videography?
Looking really nice, what are you using to feed the corals?
A gumbo of Reef Roids + two smallest blends from Brightwell
Is there any live rock in the coral flat? Your studio is really coming together fast!
no live rock, other than the bases of some of the larger corals
Off topic : which brand of filter and carbon do you use in your RODI setup ? Amazon links would be appreciated , thx
Any sediment + carbon block will do, even from Home Depot.
Are you able to detail what you are feeding the tank?
Reef Roids + two smallest blends from Brightwell
Love channel!
Question?
I have a 90 gal SW tank with a 40 gal sump. The phosphates is at 10 ppm. How many gallons will I need to change out and at what intervals?

10ppm is higher than I know hat to do with

That neon green branching cap is rediculous. Where does one find a frag of it?
what brand is the dosing container you have? that would looks awesome in my new build
What brand of heater are you using on the system?
It sounds like you say John Lam micron!
johnlen micom heater
@@ReefBuildersVideo Thanks Jake!
Silently screams: THE XX!!!
There’s an Angels remix that’s my fav
I'm a huge XX fan, seen the band four or five times and Jamie three times
Do you flip that spider sponge occasionally or does it stay horizontal?
stays like that so far
thought that was a Red Finger Gorgonian lol. found my answer here. ty :)

Spider sponge! Found it, thanks!
What %s are you running those prism light at? Can’t find a par rating online for those, but I’m assuming they are pretty close to the Nemo.
Thanks!
Full-on, they are not super bright and the Porites is hungry for bright lights
What is the white and red coral clamped on the side?
Spider sponge
Are those tangs for algae control?
I am local in Denver, is there any way I could get a frag of the striped candy. They are out of this world amazing !
I don't sell corals but once I have grown some more out you might be able to spot them in the local area, maybe a certain show coming up in a couple months ;-)
We really want a frag of that too!

Are you possibly talking about reef stock?
I think you have a white gorgonian to show case in this tank...
5000mL of kalkwasser a day? Good lord!

hi!I'm japanese.I love aquarium. What do you need for Japanese-made aquarium supplies you think? please tell me.
Must be nice going around getting free stuff
Getting things at no cost doesn't make them 'free'
who supplied the Lomophilia from Western Australia?
Ocean Reefs Marine Aquariums in Wangara
Did I c some aptasia growing on a few corals or am I seeing things?
Yeah there's a couple that I'm keeping an eye on.
Not a holy grail torch it's a dragon soul torch

Where can I email this guy about masked angelfish ? He never said how much they are ty joe
Joe Oconnor mask angel fish are season fish. Usually May-Sept your see them.
