The two times I met Jake was a Christmas frag exchange, he gave me an Aussie gold, and later gave me a free small frag of yellow goni that was dying off. We need more Jakes in this hobby.
Hard not to cry seeing his face,but we are all so lucky to have had him as a teacher for so long. Thankyou Jake for everything you've done for all of us
@@shamswati3837it's a meme, because he killed one of his favorite corrals and said I'm dead. Don't worry, Jake is fine. I saw him last week in his shop.
I very much appreciate this video Jake! I have a pink Goni I picked up from Jason Fox at Reef-a-palooza Orlando a couple years ago. I was starstruck when I saw Jason sitting at his booth by himself and had to buy something. He suggested the goniopora. This poor quarter sized frag sat shriveled up in the bottom of my tank for over a year but refused to die! One day the polyps finally extended a little bit and now another year or so later its the size of a tennis ball and covered in long beautiful polyps! Definitely one of my healthiest most prized corals! I want to frag it so I can share it with as many people as possible and share all the happiness it has brought me. This video gives me the confidence to give it a try! Many thanks Jake and Chris!
I still have so much to learn from Jake so I still watch his videos but it breaks my heart over and over again. What a strange thing it is to keep seeing him.....but he's gone😔💔
This is fantastic, would love to see more hands-on videos like this accompanied by solid info! 🤓 (I was today years old when I learned that I actually have a Bernardpora...)
Awesome Goni tips for the new salties coming up in the hobby. We need more videos like this Jake, would like to thank you for taking your time on making such information wides thru out the hobby.
Gonis are by far my favorite coral and your channel has helped me in my journey of reef keeping .. you motivate me to research and dig into studying any piece of coral i buy.. Thanks Jake
I wish I had LFS like your friend store. I live in Westchester NY and LFS are all gone. At least I can enjoy your videos. I really look forward to your youtube.
So I only have freshwater tanks and my parents only had a nano reef once when I was a kid, so I have pretty much no experience in or knowledge on the saltwater hobby but, this video was fascinating. I had no idea corals could even be cut and propagated like that. I guess it makes sense once you think about it.
Truly two of the best in the industry, and definitely Colorado. Love what y’all do and are so lucky to have you guys so close to home! Reef Builders and Aquatic Art FTW
i had an amazebalzz colony i fragged and one frag suffered more then the other and one day inspecting i noticed a worm that lived under the skeleton that survived all the dips the only way i got him out was with a toothpick in his whole and when he came out the goni is now fully open like it’s counterparts and didn’t skip a beat check for small wholes near the edges of the skeleton and stick stuff in them see what happens!!
Jake, please go over and help out Scott Anderson. I watched his video and it was heartbreaking. Please do a video about helping out a fellow reefer. Spread some love and positivity.
I've been in touch with Scott these past few months and besides advice for the reboot we're going to do everything in our power to get him back on track
So cool I don't know why I haven't started a saltwater reef tank long ago soo beautiful.... Now that I'm older I get into it more .... currently I breed ball pythons I accomplished that now I'm setting up a nano saltwater tank...... But already talking about up grading and not even fully cycled yet
It’s probably been about a year since I’ve actually seen a video from Reefbuilders. Thinking about getting back into the hobby! Definitely would like to have one of those CADE aquariums
As you talked a bit about bleaching during this episode.... Do you know if there are any detailed, scientific study of coral bleaching in an aquarium environment - to discover more about how to possible rehabilitate and save bleached coral - so that lessons learned from healing bleached coral in a controlled environment - like an aquarium - can inform efforts to potentially protect and or heal natural coral?
Do they ship??? . I would love a Hurlock for the garden and have a nice spot all ready for it. That or I’m gonna have to take a trip to Colorado! Goni’s are the old school love for me. Had a softball sized yellow one back In 2004 that I loved for years. Never really had a problem growing them, I got lucky I guess but the Goni love goes down to my soul so I always give them extra attention . They are THE coral that got me into reefing. Great Goni showcase Jake
Hello! So I am working in a resort and we have a coral nursery with hard corals. Do you think it would work out mix some soft corals in the coral frames? I still have to figure it out how could I attach them 😂 thanks!
I have a goni a naked glitter (not glitter bomb but purple and green from UC) anyway about half of skeleton has been showing for about a year , just wont grow back! I also have cyano (mainly just glass) I cant get rid of thats probably on skeleton! Should I frag all the skeleton off with a dremel? Dont have bandsaw and how in the world is that pink goni so close to a space invader pectinia? WOW Mine have the longest stingers of any coral in my tank!
Great Video! What are your thoughts on the salt manufacturers packaging. The irony of this is that we all promote the love of the hobby/reefs but continue to use plastic containers for salt. These containers dont decompose/breakdown for 500 years. I personally try to only buy salt packaged in cardboard box packaging. Hoping all salt will be packaged in cardboard sooner than later. Thanks
Don’t you have an Amazeballs? I’ve been tempted to buy one but I can’t decide if I want to drop that kind of money. I’ve got four other gonis and a alveopora doing well. Do you find the Amazeballs is a more sensitive goni?
@@ReefBuildersVideo thank you for the info. I generally do a 14 day light acclimation, maybe I'll stretch it to three weeks. I look forward to seeing more success across the hobby with Goniopora so we can start sharing more species specific care, as there is certainly light/flow/feeding variance among this genus.
I have goniopora and I get centipedes killing them and now there closed up. I dipped it, killed the centipedes, and it's still closed up. Any ideas on how to bring it back?
learning about these corals after Jake passing just shows living a life of sharing is worth it. God Bless and Rest Well.
The two times I met Jake was a Christmas frag exchange, he gave me an Aussie gold, and later gave me a free small frag of yellow goni that was dying off. We need more Jakes in this hobby.
I miss these great videos from Jake!

Always great to see Cris Capp in a reefbuilders video!
Amazing video like always the store owner is a hobbyist and not a business man the fact taht he tries to revive corals shows this. Well done
Wow wow Thanks you sharing fantastic video ... I have dose corals too I have pink green red orange and red and rainbow colors too...

Yo Chris! Aquatic Art my favorite shop and best reef store in Colorado
I wish I had LFS like your friend store. I live in Westchester NY and LFS are all gone. At least I can enjoy your videos. I really look forward to your youtube.
great video of my favorite coral
He looks like he has a nice coral shop... and that DT looks amazing. Thanks for this vid.
Chris is a cool cat. I learned something tonight about fragging Goni's the way he cuts them so thin, did not know that.👍💜🐠
He's a Jedi Master!
Can you guys do a “lighting for dummies” series? I’m not understanding any of the short-hand/slang

Thanks Jake for the great video. You’re one of the few guys out there getting really in depth about the care for one of my all time fav corals!

Lots of good information here, glad I watched this.
Thanks for this video Jake. Helpful
Goniopora and Bernardopra are my fav, so seeing videos like these are super exicting!
I love Goniapora, my favourite.
Very informative! Thanks!!
best video I've seen educating on fragging. Thank you!
Great video! Thank you for sharing!
Probably the very best video on fragging EVER!!
Super informative video! Loved watching this and learned a lot.
12:04 “And the reef gods said: nooope, nope, nope, no. We are going to bleach you…” 😂 Great interview. Very informative.

I enjoyed every second of this video. Thanks a lot!
Love Goni’s! Thanks guys!
Great video Jake, educative as always.
Amazing tank by Cris...
Regards from Croatia!
Yes! We got 1500 likes so looking forward to the new video about the tank! Thanks for the great content!

@@ReefBuildersVideo reefers code 👊
Great video, Chris seems like a good dude. Learned some valuable info here!
Great video learned a lot now maybe I’ll try a gonni again I’ve kept them for months never had any luck keep reefing
Top shelf content Jake!
Awesome - trying to build up my goni collection now after giving up on Tridacna clams.
This was a super cool interview. Love gonis. They have got out of hand in price though.
Thank you for so good videos
So cool I don't know why I haven't started a saltwater reef tank long ago soo beautiful.... Now that I'm older I get into it more .... currently I breed ball pythons I accomplished that now I'm setting up a nano saltwater tank...... But already talking about up grading and not even fully cycled yet
awesome video 2 great people! i was able to snag a frag of this and amazing colors thank you!
It’s probably been about a year since I’ve actually seen a video from Reefbuilders. Thinking about getting back into the hobby! Definitely would like to have one of those CADE aquariums
Great video Jake very inspiring and informative
Awesome video Jake! Love goniopora! That one is a beauty!
What a great video. Your lucky to have such a great LFS.

Great video
Much appreciated Mr.Adams,, that's a great thumbnail. I'd definitely cop some canvas art from Reef Builders fo sho ....just saying !
I be watch so many of your videos and idk why but I just subscribed you never tell people too so I didn’t even think about it .
Great, wife is already a "Opora" fan, now she wants even more, thanks, lol
Solid video. Always entertaining. I need to get me a new GONI!!
Wunderful teaching video... Please, 2 questions:
Where can I get those blue plugs?
How many gallons is the big AquaticArt tank at the end?
Hello dear friend new fan here
I live in Denver would love to see your studio
It really is the same with some trees, they might look dead but if you give them enough time to recover... they might bounce back!
i always like a jake video great guy wish i had money for nice coral
RIP jake 😢

Do you allow people to visit the gallery im gonna be in Colorado this summer would love to see it all in person

They don’t ship.
@@ReefBuildersVideo awww your killing me. Showing me all that candy but telling me I can eat it😜 any idea of where to pick up a hurlock goni frag???
man such a nice goni I want it in my tank :P
Cutting these great Gonis did hurt me…
Just what I.needed
So jealous of those Anthias in his display tank.

Man now I wanna fish tank
Great content as always!
Did you take home a new frag of Goni?
très bien dommage pas de sous titre en français
1000 likes will be super easy. I suppose Jake can’t wait to come back 😅

Yes definitely
I would love to know about how long Chris spends acclimating gonis to brighter light?
Usually weeks
@@ReefBuildersVideo thank you for the info. I generally do a 14 day light acclimation, maybe I'll stretch it to three weeks.

cool
What’s the coral at 6:33 called??? Bernardiopora?? Not joking, I’m really trying to see what it’s called, I want one.
What is that beautiful flowing green coral in the early part of the video behind the pink Goni that got fragged?
Another Goni!
Anyone know what lights the guy with gonis is using
Programación para acuario corales mixtos para radion xr30.please.gracias
Just use AB+ and you'll do well
@@ReefBuildersVideo ok.thankyou.
Hey what was the coral right behind the first goni? The long green stalk ones with whispy heads...?
Another Goni!
Are any frags of them available at Aquatic Art? I’m heading over this weekend anyways haha.
Yes!
Hey Jake, I would love a piece of that Bernardpora. Any way I could get a piece?
I left them all with Cris for his help
anyone know where i can buy the red alveopora they showed at 8:24 ?
Great video, where are you located?
Denver Colorado USA
Why I love Aquatic Art, won't sell a unhealthy coral and will gently correct you lol
Also for those high end goni's low low low light and medium to medium high flow. Once I figured this out my Spaceballs doubled
👍👍
what kind of limestone flat piece is that? @18:17
Just a coral tile
Great video! Do you have any frags for sale?
Aquatic Art does
Whats that massive turquoise plating coral in the display tank at 4:50 ?
Jedi Mind trick Monti
I know this is an older video but what flavor are your clowns?
Thank you in advance if you see this!!!
Those are true perculas
Smash the like button y’all
I have goniopora and I get centipedes killing them and now there closed up. I dipped it, killed the centipedes, and it's still closed up. Any ideas on how to bring it back?
IDK about bringing them back but sounds like you need to keep gonies and frags off the sand bed and away from the bristleworms
@@ReefBuildersVideo ok thank you, I will try that.
Mine all shrunk down even trying to feed. Can they shrink not getting enough light???
sounds like you might want to give it a little shade
@@ReefBuildersVideo thanks boss. Love your videos. One of my goto’s for reefing.
Omg I would have been fired the first day at tidal if I did that.
Almost to 100,000 subs!
Wooo!!! We are excited!
