The studio has come a long way. Congratulations! I appreciate all the work that has gone into it.
Jake, thank you for all that you bring to this amazing hobby! I have learned so much from watching your videos. Thank you for taking the time to create them.
Great tour/update! Keep showing the individual tank progression! Can’t wait for the new setups!!
will sure set up a studio like this as soon as I finish my education, i will never forget u jake, you have been my true saltwater inspiration, would love to visit your studio as soon possible!
Ok Jake it’s officially time for the monster sps planet aquariums tank!!!
Wow NICE, been watching this one from the beginning. Incredible space, I love that you have a pop of freshwater and some nice tropical plants around. Reminds me of home.
YESSSSSS 🙌🏻 love studio updates. It looks like such a cool place. Keep up the good work 🙏🏻
Great job, Jake! The studio really coming along nicely.
Now that you did one big update on everything it really put it into perspective how far the studio has come. I remember the first time you showed the studio empty and how excited you were about its potential. Now to see it really going is very nice. Keep it up.
Can't wait to watch this!! Yes, I'm commenting to let you know that my lunch is gonna be better today because of this video! 😂
Awesome tour!!!!
Great video Jake, I can't wait to see the selection of corals you come back with in November. Especially looking forward to the montipora tank, noticed the pines 👍
Live live in Florida and we are kind of blessed with good fish stores not only salt but also fresh fish stores. These videos really make me want to get a salt tank for sure. Need to get a rodi water system first so I can stop going to the water store.
I don't always chime in but everything looks amazing. I remember when you started the studio project out. Amazing!!!
Love that "man-cave" Jake! Really well done!
been waiting so long for this video an for the studio to be complete! congrats !
I love all the white stands this room looks so clean
#5 to Say WHAT AN AMAZING Facility you have! I'm currently drooling over all those Corals!
Awesome work Jake! Top notch!!
The studio looks great man. Good job
Very nice set ups. You have put alot of work in there. 👏👏👏
Definition of reefbuilder 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just started my first reef tank and I love it I hope to some day have a beautiful looking tank like yours
The studio is turning out really well keep up the good work can't wait for the fish only tank to be up and running since there's not many quality fish only videos out there
I have a 300 gallon reef ready fish tank with fish only and man-made corals with live rock unfortunately don't really have the time for real Coral but I love your videos
Looking great. Doing an awsome job.
Everything's looking great Jake! Thanks for tanking the time to make these videos.
Wow, what a beautiful place you have there! I wish I had room to have that many tanks! SOOO Nice!!!!!!!
You did amazing job I’ve been following you when you first started the fish room keep up the excellent work may God bless
That studio is just amazing 👌🏼
you have a Beautiful place thank you.
So clean.. so exquisite... 😍 Great job!
Looking great 👍
keep up the good work.
your content on youtube is spot on.
im also a big fan of your reefbuilders website.
Great update! 💯 Jake if you need to you can put the red mangroves in freshwater. My red mangroves grew 3x faster in freshwater because I could treat the water with hydroponic chemicals. I ran a 6 bulb T5 over that tank with 4 midday lamps, 1 tropic, 1 flora. They were growing like weeds! I couldn’t fertilize them in my sump and they were struggling. They love a ton of light.
I love your plants, and your stands are really cool!
Jake my man! Love the channel, been following you since the beginning. I always watch from my smart tv so never comment before! With all the plant going on in there, love them btw, you really need to do something with some mangrove plants! Would be really awesome! Square tank with the overflow in the middle of the tank, some sand in the overflow and grow them mangroves! Can't share image here unfortunately🤓 keep up the great work man! Greetings from Holland!
Really enjoyed this one Jake! 🍻 Cheers!
Thank Ania & Fam.
Them west Aussie clams are amazing!!
Great update. Awesome. Love the energy. Hydra 64hd review please!
It's almost next in the video lineup
Those Conspicuous Angels are gorgeous!
my eyes are watering at the thought of how much money you've put into this place omg
That is true Im sure he has put a lot into it, but at the same time sponsors have provided a ton if not 90% of that equipment...
Epic. hope to get to that level one day !
You know what's cool? It's setting up some live streams to some of your tank! 😁
Awesome 👍👏
I love your tanks 😍 and those screen tops
Looking great buddy! Keep up the good work! My son and I would love to see it in person sometime ,if we get to Colorado! We are just in Lincoln Nebraska! Not far away!
Love that softies tank 👍 a very underrated coral. Love your work😁
Just 'overhauled' it and can't wait for the lights to come on to see how all the new corals look
What a life you have. Wow
Would love to see a video of how you solved the gha
*tres beau tes bacs bravo pour le travail*
Stay firsty my friends! Jake your really making me want to get a tank running again. Haha
That’s a lot of tanks and equipment to maintain without a team of dedicated employees. Wish you the best but concerned about longevity. Studio looks great right now. Keep it going
I hear you there but I have experience multi-reef-tanking, it's been a year and the tanks look better than they've ever been, they're getting easier as I"m learning they're peculiarities
Tanks tour yess!
I would like to see you talk about your methodology on how to deliver flow based on coral type and tank shape. Not so much a focus on gph but more on powerhead placement.
Lets see your blue anacropora, weeping willow, and awesome elegance corals! Also, it would be cool if you went more in depth on certain fish species behavior, diet, compatibility, hardiness, and recommendations for cool corals and fish for reefers on a budget. The snorkeling and diving videos are the coolest. You could also check back in with Sanjay and Mike to do an depth extended nerd revisit and do a revisit with Jason Fox. You could also talk about the coral ban and what the future of the hobby looks like. Thanks Jake!!!
Cant wait for you to start the 400 and the 600. Love seeing uber big builds and I would love to know what giant fish will be in the 600.
Wows super fantastic place and all tanks I would love too visit your place... 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🍾🍾🍾🍾🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 Thanks for sharing video sir.....
Jake! Great stuff. I'd love a brief video on stands... there's a lot of uncertainty out there with some stands and warping over time. How do the new AIO stands chalk up? Companies where I can order extruded aluminum from? Pros and cons vs. DIY 2'' x 4'''s, etc. Many thanks!
Would love to hear your opinions on all of the different lights as I set up a new tank. If you are ever getting rid of old ones I'm close to Golden.
Dig the autonomous desk, I have one in my home office.
I hope the public gets to come visit cuz I’m dying to see the facility
Amazing! I have a couple of questions. How are you planning on running the fish only system-the water-box tank?
also, what do you does for the 3 innovative marine tanks looped system?
Keep up the good work!
Just had to flex on us with that awesome electric desk didnt ya? lol too cool. Will try and make it to WWC, unfortunately that's our inventory week at work. lucky for me its right up the street! See ya then, keep it up!
Your Studio looks awesome. Nice place to spent a lot of time with fun 👌. How that tidal filter works on a tank with corals ? I wanna start a project and looking for a hang on with a good working surface skimmer.
Greetings Pat
Lolol it’s actually so good. Got a 40 breeder with a 110 tidal and a 70ac I turned into a refugium, really fun and cheap honestly
It's reeftime!
I'd love to hear more about clams. don't see much about them online. I have been trying to setup a clam specific tank this last year but seems clams these days are not as hardy. I used to be able to keep clams for over 8 years but my latest oldest clams are only 2 years old and the last batch from Indo before they closed down. Many don't seem to last.
Hi Jake quick question who makes the custom mesh lids for your tank and where could I order one?
Been following from the beginning and I have got to say it’s all amazing.
I would LOVE to see the 8ft Planet Aquarium become a single octopus tank.
What a paradise. I think I saw the sunburst anthias in the 40 g LPS tank, am I right? 😊 Love that little fresh water aquarium.
It is so pleasant to witness how an empty place turned into this! Keep going
Still waiting on that invite to check out this amazing place.
Lol you made me get some mollies to put in my saltwater lagoon pond. Its just a 60g with a pair of clowns so I thought I’d put some cheap 40 cent high fin mollies in there.
looking great!
i'd like to hear more about the cooler water tank you have planned for the blue spotted jaws and catalina gobies. cold water tanks are always so intriguing since it's so foreign.
and what's the plan for the tinkeri butterflies? put them in the montipora tank?! do you have plans on getting anymore of the semi reef safe butterflies or angels?
ohhh droooling here...
Love your videos! What’s the purpose of all the trees? Sorry for the noob question
How do you get the clams attached to the tiles? Everything is looking nice Jake!
The studio is looking awsome man. All your setups are top notch. What product did you use to get rid of the GHA?
Brightwell Aquatics Razor
Can you show your filtration system for all the tanks?
Hi Jake, I was wondering what type of Algae you are putting in the Algae Reactor? As far as I'm aware most marine algae do not utilize much CO2?
Hello Jake. Are all of your frags tanks barebotton ? Is the substrate located in another dedicated tank ? And where are the live rocks in your system ?
If your upgrading lights feel free to hook a fellow reefer up with your previous lights for my frag tank ;) ps love the videos!
Looking great Jake! You’re def a pro, but what I’d like to see in a spotlight video next is some of the failures you might’ve experienced along the way. Have you lost any favorite coral colonies? Any emergencies you’ve dealt with? I still lose corals from time to time, curious with your massive stock if you do as well and how you spot/remedy when it’s happening. Also do you use a par meter for all coral placement, or just gut knowledge at this point?
Yes I am collecting a list of easy places to make mistakes, of course including the ones I've made. The lighting intensity is very much gut feeling by now, I can spitball PAR pretty good after 20 years, but I do have a good PAR meter to check different points in a light cycle
Loving the content Jake! It's probably already been said on previous occasions but what is the main reason for the studio. And will you be selling frags at some stage from the studio?
Only reason is to make MOAR VIDEOS!!
Also...with the space you have..if you add more plants, do you think that will bring more oxygen and impact the PH? 🤔
Are we able to visit this studio? If so where is it?
Wow Jake congrats on the progress you've made since that first coral flat!🤔 I noticed your mollies are in the fish hotel and I love the fresh water tank,can't wait for the monster planted💚 I have a question you said one of the coral flats gets the corals just as is? That means possibly with critters stowed away in them before you clean them up! Ok question is Won t those critters travel from one tank to the next🤔? Cause theyr e all connected if I understand the way it's built correctly?? Sorry if it's a silly question!🙄😁💜💜💜🌿🍃
No that's a fair question - the 'lagoon coral flat' is connected to the three display reefs but the other two are both independent. Think of that middle one as coral receiving/quarantine/conditioning.
Another great video. Thank you for the inspiration. I have a huge problem trying to find your weeping willow coral. Can you please tell me where I can get it from. The kind with the long polyps that yours has. Thank you.
I haven't really fragged it out yet so this particular strain is not in the wild
@@ReefBuildersVideo Is there a method of begging that will work here? After all you inspired me to take up this hobby otherwise I was afraid of it for over 40 years. Now besides the fact that it is a beautiful piece I would love to own something that is part of your story, the guy who inspired me (thank you for that).
there's a bicycle against the wall. clearly room for another aquarium there. bike can hang from the ceiling.
Open space is important too
In the soft coral tank...lower left coral in the front. The flowy one, what is that called? I LOVE IT!
that's the unannounced Toxic Willow ;-)
@@ReefBuildersVideo It looks like hair flowing in the tank!! Can't wait to see that one close up.
What brand of screen top do you use for your tanks? They look so crisp & clean!
www.clearviewlids.com
what product did you use for the hair alagae
What are you keeping the mangroves in? Just regular plastic planters and some rubble rock?
you got it
What is your objective with the studio? Research, selling coral, etc, or just for fun?
What’s the name of the ban saw you have there?
Can’t wait to see the progression of that steel freshwater tank and the waterbox 7226
How have you kept a purple tang happy long term in a 30 gallon?
If you get one small enough you could squeeze a couple years in a 30 gallon but not much more than that, it WILL outgrow it.
Reef Builders ok cool, I’ve got a inch and a half yellow in a 30 how long do you think I have before upgrading?
Engagement 👍🏽
All I want to know is if you were going to start your own reef tank which aquarium and lighting combo you would use? I know you’re friends with some of the companies you use in your store so if you have to send me a message privately, I promise I won’t post it anywhere except reef2reef forums.
Hey Jake! can i buy the lights from the from you when you upgrade? the hydra or any of them
I might do a local 'garage sale' sort of thing when I need to make room
My 26 is messing up so I ordered the new 32 should be here tomorrow I’m sad my 26 broke after just 3 years of use though 😞
COuld be something simple like the power supply or the fan, the Hydras are highly modular and repairable.
ji jake just woundering if you have and leptastrea in your systems and if you could do a care video for them. would be realy helpful thank
I do have some, would probably be along the lines of how to care for encrusting stony corals including Leptastrea
@@ReefBuildersVideo that would be cool,
Nice update 👍🏾👍🏾 What did you use to treat your hair algae?
Brightwell Aquatics razor
@@ReefBuildersVideo Thanks for the tip on Razor, I used it after reading this and its completely wiped out the hair algae I had and also took care of the bubble algae.
