This system is mind blowing. I aspire to have the skills, knowledge, dedication and love of the animals as, Jeff someday! Thanks TeamReefBuilders for always aspiring us to be better hobbyists!
Glad you enjoyed it! ~Remy
Thank you so much! I am humbled by your kind words. It was all built one step at a time and learned by watching videos like Reef Builders and others online. - Jeff
Indeed! I was just saying the same thing, I absolutely love the setup and overall design of everything
So great that you got to see Jeff's tank! He is a local legend and leader in the hobby!
I love that he's so involved in the reefing community there. Frag demos, bulk fish food batches...etc. It's rare these days! ~Remy
Without him our club may not exist
Thank you Tanner! I really, really appreciate it. It's awesome to have great friends in the hobby as well. :) -Jeff
Guys like Jeff are an asset to the hobby. Never had seen him before but love his energy! Amazing skills too
Thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate it. Feel free to subscribe as I plan on starting to post some videos here soon. -Jeff
@@reef_culture done 👍🇦🇺
What a beautiful tank Jeff!! Thanks for showing us what you do in your tank and for giving us reefers an advice!
My pleasure! I am glad you enjoyed it! -Jeff
Great system. Very clean. Surprisingly simple.
Absolutely. Thank you. You don't need to overcomplicate things to be successful. The nem tank is about as simple as it gets, and the main system follows all basic reefing principles with some redundancy built in for backups in case anything ever were to happen. -Jeff
@@reef_culture As part of my old setup I had a nem tank and a reef and did CZcams videos. All people were interested in was the nems. I was always like look at this other tank. It is harder but people were drawn to the nems. I did not have as many as you but mine were some of the biggest I've seen on CZcams or at nay aquarium. Maybe that was why.
Jeff is one heck of a guy!! Beautiful setup.
Thank you so much!
Awesome! Just Awesome! Total pro who cares about his livestock, which is nice to see.
Thank you so much! Fish are pets just as much as any other animal and in many cases, rely on us more than most other pets for their health and well being. Glad you enjoyed it! -Jeff
Wow, this fella is on top of it!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it! -Jeff
That nem tank is amazing, i can only imagine how often they split, thank you reef builders for touring another incredible reef tank, and thank you jeff for doing an incredible job at reefkeeping
such nice thanks!! love those anemonessss
thanks so much! They are super pretty. It all started with one about 7 years ago. -Jeff
Unbelievable. Just gorgeous and so clean. Totally amazed.
Awesome looking tanks. Love the attention to detail and of how well thought through the whole thing is. Jeff seems like a super nice guy with a lot of passion for the hobby.
That was a dope nem tank. 👌 I hear that name get thrown around, first time seeing one. Blak widow nems. Great video. N nice save on that advice text. My favorite part of the tours! N from the forms n some big farmers. Seems a lot of people are on that moon🌙 shine. I would like to see a nano kit or just something more affordable for trace chasing. 😮💨 See what the future holds.
Thank you so much! Black Widows, yes. They are the same species as other bubble tips, just a very pretty color variety with distinct webbing on the body. (thus the spider reference) Moonshiners can be a large initial investment, but unless you have a large water volume, most of the elements last a long, LONG time. I like to say RM will get you the last 5% of the way there with color and growth. It's not going to stop a coral from dying, it's when you have mastered everything else and really want to push for the last 5% to really peak out your colors and growth rates. --Jeff
This guy is awesome, like to see more of him on the channel
Happy to be on the channel more as I can talk about fish and coral forever. :) Thanks so much for the comment and I am glad you enjoyed it. -Jeff
This is my dream setup, equipment wise! Tank is beautiful too
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed the tour. -Jeff
@@reef_culture absolutely! Any chance on future videos? I bet you could get a following going on if you made videos on your system and the hobby
Beautiful set up , and tanks . Man's got skills 👏
Thank you so much! All learned one bit at a time. A hobby turned into an obsession you could say. lol -Jeff
I wish we had basements in Vegas!
haha! Well, you can always run a sump in another room and make that your fish room. The original plan for this build was to knock out a wall for the DT and make a separate bedroom the fish room. (all on the first floor) That plan got changed with the girlfriend wanted to turn that room into her craft room (we each get an area for our hobbies) and I got stuck with the basement. If you are going to do something, go big or go home, so I made it the best I could. :) -Jeff
Amazing system!
I said hey I bought my black widow off that guy! Haha very nice setup ! Maybe I’ll be there one day
Nice nems tank,. I have mine splitting last week too,hope it will grow a lot like those
The Black Widow tank all started with one nem about 7 years ago. Just give them time. I now sell anywhere from 5-10 a week out of that tank and they just keep multiplying. :) -Jeff
@@reef_culture thanks for replying ,. How if you make a vids about ur nems tank? Like how u care it, recommend flow light etc
Hey Jeff, what is your method to getting the nems off the rock or whatever they are attached to ?
Ahhh! The magic question I get asked all the time. If a nem is stuck to a rock, it is VERY difficult to remove it. All of the ones I sell out of this tank (5-10 or so a week) come from the glass or acrylic nem box on the side. Super easy to peel them off with your thumbnail once you have done it a bunch.
The rainbow nem in the wine glass in the frag tank in the video actually got removed from a rock a few days before filming. He was on the rock, stinging SPS and needed to be removed. Took the rock out of water, let it hang upside down for 5 minutes or so, sometimes that does the trick, it didn't this time. Had to very carefully scrape him out. He made it, but that is also why he didn't look too happy in the video. Give him a few weeks and he will turn around. -Jeff
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it - Jeff's system is a dream! ~Remy
Thank you so much! -Jeff
@@ReefBuildersVideo Thank you Remy!
Battery backup is so important. Just like the patent pending ReefBoxx that allows you to use just about any batteries to back up your aquarium. I sent Mark one that he is currently using and Jake who loved the idea a handful of them to use and hand out some out as he pleased. Would like to send Remy and Raj one as well so they can backup easy and affordably as well.
stunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnning~!
This was a treat to tour! ~Remy
Thank you so much! -Jeff
Wow that is a beautiful and amazing system. Insane. Great video just wish it was longer
Ive had black widows with chicago sunburst for a few years. Know a few others who have had the same successs. Seems those 2 types of btas, you can safely mix!
That's good to know! Have any experience with Chicagos and Colorado's? ~Remy
Good work. There is knowing reefing but this set up is genius.
This is awesome, I need to dig out a basement…
Start now! lol ~Remy
Absolutely incredible 👏🏻
Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
But I'm not tidying up anything! 😉
haha! Thank you so much! :) -Jeff
It's amazing how working under a tank sounds like pinching a loaf.....
I picked up one of his black widows around 6 months or so ago. Beautiful nem, has since split into 3! Anyone wanting a BW nem I can attest to the quality of his livestock!
Wow! All black widows? How to get in touch with you to get two shipped to me?
Yep - ALL Black Widows! Search him on Facebook. I'm sure he'd be happy to send you some! ~Remy
Any contact other than Facebook?
Very nice - Unfortunately a full system crash would be the only reason for me to re-design my system at this rate.
Hard to back out once you're plumbed in! He could make some money consulting! ~Remy
Oh don't think the worst on how a full crash would be the only way to build it back better. But, yes, I totally get it on how once you are plumbed in, changes become exponentially harder to do. This was my 4th build overall and first in my home. From the first three, I kept a list of things that were either challenging with the first ones, or simply a pain to do, and kept in all in mind when designing this one. The easier you make things to do, the more likely you are to do them, the more likely you are setup for long-term success. The system isn't perfect, there are still things I would have done differently now looking back on it, but am quite happy with how it turned out. :) -Jeff
@@reef_culture Most definitely Serviceability is a key aspect many don't think about. I've been trying to suggest to manufacturers to have connectors closer to in-tank devices to avoid needing to splice something in or pull all the harnessing out just to service it. Seems to fall on def ears. Some day I may pull the trigger to revamp my entire system if I truly want to upgrade my 8 tank system and start fresh.
Really cool system! Thanks for the tour! But am I the only one that feels bad for fish other than clowns that live in these STOCKED anemone tanks?
He'll being moving stuff around once that big 280 is done for sure. Those rescue fish are in MUCH better hands. ~Remy
Thanks for the comment. As Remy mentioned, the Yellow and Hippo in the nem system already have their new homes slated in the 280 currently being built along with several coral grow out tanks. However, whereas the video makes it look like nems are covering 99% of the tank, under the rock structure, there is actually quite a bit of free swimming space that is totally nem free. (as they walk away from the no-light areas). They sleep under there and can come out in the open water and swim.
It's actually really neat to watch the Hippo swim right between the nems and not touch any of them. Also, that Yellow is only in there as he was supposed to have a home in the 220, but decided to be a jerk and bully the other Yellow, so he got moved downstairs. haha. -Jeff
Sir Little doubt
Is there any danger to the fish if I grow sea sponge in a marine aquarium tank?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much! -Jeff
How many hours of light for the anemones
Nem tank wakes up around 8:30 am, about an hour of blues, followed by 4 hours of white, followed by blues until around 5:30-6:00 PM when they go to sleep. -Jeff
Where to purchase anemone?
it's crazy to spend your life on all these pipes and chemicals and dosing.
It's a hobby. If pipes, chemicals and dosing your reef tank make you happy or brings you joy - who cares right? 😃 ~Remy
We did not see the batteries 🔋🔋🫤
Dude 100% works from home LOL
Calcium 420 - blaze it
Hey Jeff I can't find you on Facebook, I'd love to buy an anemone from you.
Hey I'm in Ohio to and I'm starting a multi color anemone tank for my maroons if you still have some of them nems for sale I know this an older vid but message me some contact info if your still selling nems I have a baby black widow and would love a bigger one and if you have any of colors I'd get them to
1 have over 100 black widows lol😅
Send us some pics!! We'd love to see! ~Remy
Oh wow! Very cool! Where did you get your first one? Would be curious to see if your original came out of my tank at one point. -Jeff
If you want close to natural sea water why not just use clean natural sea water...thats a lot of money and chemicals just to avoid a quick easy water change.
Way too much time required, would drive me crazy tbh
Thanks for the comment. When you design a system right, it can actually take far less time than you would think to maintain. Of course, most of us do this as a hobby which means we should enjoy spending time on things we love, right? Everything is scalable. You can make something very large or very small and the time required to maintain it scales with it.
