Nice to catch up with your update of all the happenings in the studio Jake. Thanks for this. Re. GFO Vs Aluminium oxide I have heard a it’s lot more favourable to go GFO/ avoid the Aluminium oxide.
Awesome Setups Jake! For the Mangroves if you didnt know that, they love some freshwater mist on the leaves. I had a couple myself but after i shut that tank down i gifted them a good buddy.
You are so together!!! Beautiful job, and so beautiful that you do something for a living that you love and enjoy...it shows in your emotions and in the beautiful work you do!!!
In Singapore, majority of the Reefers uses tap water w dechlorinator such as Prime or Safe for their Reef tanks. I'm just in awe seeing their SPS thrives with just tap! Here in NY, it's totally different.
Thanks for an overview of yr systems, all looking great. Really enjoying yr videos. Gd luck with the nudis, they are a pita, I’ve been there and managed to eradicate them by daily, regular checking esp night time and scrubbing my montis. These things keep us on our toes lol.
For the water level in those tanks... you should mark them with 5gl 10gl will be annoying at first but once you do it will be worth it to know exact amount!!
Been following the channel for a while now. Awesome to see everything coming together for you jake. I love the hobby. And its cool to see that you are doing all this as your hobby and not just a way to generate income.
One competition idea could be a contest showing off your frag growth over 6 weeks or so. The marine aquarium fanatics Australia page is doing something like this currently
Jake you don't get the arms with the red sea lights the bracket's are extra you will be amazed by the growth of these lights I can't believe it fantastic lights oh btw love the channel from your new English friend jay
Good job with the big water system stand, I recently got my water making/mixing station up too in the garage, and have it plumbed through the walls and OMG! Having a hose where the tank is that I can just grab turn a valve and poof saltwater, or freshwater, so great. I will say that I may have to steal your idea of the clear tubing to determine water level though, absolutely brilliant idea... better than just knocking on the side of the container and getting a feel for where about the water is. FYI if you do pump it up you can get remote controlled outlets really cheap, so you can just press a button while you're next to the tank you're servicing with water without having to trudge back and forth. So jealous of all the species specific tanks though, something I would do here except California electricity rates will make me go broke very quickly. :D
I love your videos Jake. I had a quick questions...what species of corals can you scrub to rid of algae without compromising the health. My montipora are covered in algae and I just take off what I can without causing too much damage to the polyps. I know my phosphates are high but I'm controlling that. Unfortunately I let it go on too long and then life got in the way and the algae just took over. Again I love how you are maintaining all these different species... definitely a thing of beauty 😊.
I've been waiting for a peak at that planted tank for weeks! And to my surprise we have the same exact sailfin mollies 💛 I just had a drop of about 45 to 50 fry in one of my tanks🌿 Did I hear you correct at the beginning with the big tank is going to be planted? I guess I could check? Dah!😂 I have 8 planted tanks and a pond tub with a group of Kohaku Koi Swordtail and all my tanks have fancy swordtail.Thanks looking great!💜💚
Hi Jake, great video! For the giveaway I think it would be nice if you have a post or email where people can send you pictured of their reef and the reason they would like to win the pump and choose based on that. Can't wait for the giveaway. Congratulations no the 50K Subscriptions. I love your channel and you always great information to share. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the Studio Update, Everything Looks Amazing 👍🏼 😍 Where can I get those Dispensers ? Those would Make Services Easier for My Team ! Thank You in Advance 🤙🏼 Peace✌🏼
Aluminum oxide tends to work faster but breaks down in a reactor I usually remove it after 4 days to a week so it doesn’t leech back. But as far as silicate reduction goes it should be faster than gfo just like it is with phosphate. GFO is better for long term use ime and aluminum oxide is better for immediate/emergency use.
OH PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON HOW YOU TREAT FOR NUDIBRANCH IVE LOST MY GREEN AND STARBURST RED IS LEFT BUT NOT SURE HOW LONG OR WHAT TO DO WHEN ITS ON A BIG ROCK
Studio looks beautiful. How about a contest where subs video tentative plans or set up for the 400 gallon system. It may give you ideas you haven't thought of for the vectra usage
You should do your contest like billy pipes reefco 8k giveaway. Make people post videos of their reefs to be entered. It's great for bringing the community together! The Studio looks awesome! Keep up the great work!
Just a heads up. When your hot water tank goes. Your going to need to get to it. Great video your studio coming along. Awesome, looking forward to more and like to see products reviews.
@@ReefBuildersVideo I did watch the episode with using a waterpic for removal off nudis, actually doing that in my system as i found its more effective than all the dips i have tried.
Another Great video:)! Hey if you want to save yourself some time and money...grab a couple spray bombs of Flex Seal ...two coats on that stand ...better then powder coated!
Where did you get the nifty stands for the hanna checkers? Also for the clothing, please make some big and tall stuff! I'm a 6XLT lmao!😂 the industry discriminates against plus sized reefers haha!
Have people submit their best reef hack that they preform to keep their tank at its best...and that might help the community at the same time..then pick the best one
Just thought I’d tell you I’m one of the aquatics specialist at Petco and we get our Bangaii Cardinals through quality marine. I have 4 myself and got them super healthy.
Hey just wanted to say love your Channel but wanted to know if you could contact Aquarium or animal attractions in Greeley Colorado and see if you give them pointers on how to actually keep saltwater tanks I was in there on Saturday and their plants and their tanks were overdue for a cleaning by months
Jake you’re one lucky guy. I wish I had your job. Great work though 👍🏻 Look forward to the future videos
Love the studio. Love the hobby. Love your passion. Keep up the great work!
My favorite garage in the whole wide World.😊
Nice to catch up with your update of all the happenings in the studio Jake. Thanks for this.
Re. GFO Vs Aluminium oxide I have heard a it’s lot more favourable to go GFO/ avoid the Aluminium oxide.
it would be great if we could get a close up of the coral flats!
Studio looking great man! Thanks for the update
I love your place.
Saw the video pop up was like Jake Adam ! Yes!!
Awesome Setups Jake! For the Mangroves if you didnt know that, they love some freshwater mist on the leaves. I had a couple myself but after i shut that tank down i gifted them a good buddy.
Yep, I give them a little rain every few days
The whole studio 👌 looking awesome.
Looking good. I’m not a fresh water guy but if I had that many tanks I would definitely do a couple 👍
Very good job Jake. This place is shrine marin aquaristic. Best regards from Poland🇵🇱
You are so together!!! Beautiful job, and so beautiful that you do something for a living that you love and enjoy...it shows in your emotions and in the beautiful work you do!!!

Looking really good brotha👊👍
hey jake, those water level indicators a re cool, you can also put a fishing float in there as well so you can see it from across the room.
I’ve thought about that, some kind of fluorescent float that will be even more visible, will look at fishing floats thanks for the tip
Thanks for an overview of yr systems, all looking great. Really enjoying yr videos. Gd luck with the nudis, they are a pita, I’ve been there and managed to eradicate them by daily, regular checking esp night time and scrubbing my montis. These things keep us on our toes lol.
I should try to spy on them at night, good idea
Very cool video thanks Jake
Great update!

Yeah we have something in mind for that
Sympa, merci !!! 👍👍👍

This will convince even Apple to get into reefs.

Easily one of the best stores wa
Nice to hear you are satisfied:-). Looking forward to also see Dosetronic in action soon then::-). Thanks for liking our products/Jonas
The studio is looking sweet 🤩
I checked and I'm pumped to see what you create! Remember the beautiful Swordtail when you stock it with fish!🤔😉🙄🙄✌🌿🌱🍃
I have already kept the longest swordtails, Xiphophorus montezumae, might bring them back someday as I love them
Wow tanks look great! I can’t imagine the job of keeping so many systems!
This video makes me jealous. I wish I could have access to all the equipment you have...
Looking forward to a future update on the Red Sea lights. Looks promising.
Amazing your studio, I loved it!

You're living my dream bro. Inspired by this series! Keep it up :)
You are on your way to being the Doug Demuro of Reefing...KEEP IT UP
Montipora eating nudibranchs are a nightmare. The only montipora that survived were the ones with dresses in them.
Awesome
Photo contest for the vectras!
I've been waiting for a peak at that planted tank for weeks! And to my surprise we have the same exact sailfin mollies 💛 I just had a drop of about 45 to 50 fry in one of my tanks🌿 Did I hear you correct at the beginning with the big tank is going to be planted?

I vote yes on a video on the freshwater tank, some people dabble in both...amazing studio...props
I swear you have a twin in the freshwater hobby that works at the Wet Spot in Portland Oregon...lol
You could have folks submit stories the Vectra giveaways. Maybe a little generic but it's a thought.
Oh no! You didnt show us the token nano reef. Stoked to see an update on that one😁
It looks exactly the same, corals fish and all
heres a clever idea... give them all to me!
Bring out more videos paalllease 😿
Hi Jake, great video! For the giveaway I think it would be nice if you have a post or email where people can send you pictured of their reef and the reason they would like to win the pump and choose based on that. Can't wait for the giveaway. Congratulations no the 50K Subscriptions. I love your channel and you always great information to share. Keep up the good work.
Been waiting for this one Jake

Thanks for the update.. would be interesting if you evaluate with dips actually kill Monti eating Nudis
I don’t rely on any dips for nudi removal, it’s basically all manual removal
@@ReefBuildersVideo I did watch the episode with using a waterpic for removal off nudis, actually doing that in my system as i found its more effective than all the dips i have tried.
Another Great video:)! Hey if you want to save yourself some time and money...grab a couple spray bombs of Flex Seal ...two coats on that stand ...better then powder coated!
Where did you get the nifty stands for the hanna checkers? Also for the clothing, please make some big and tall stuff! I'm a 6XLT lmao!😂 the industry discriminates against plus sized reefers haha!
The stands are 3D printed racks by Printed Reefing Solutions
Have people submit their best reef hack that they preform to keep their tank at its best...and that might help the community at the same time..then pick the best one
What took so long Jake!lol Happy Reefing brother.
Nice Video, can you let us know how you make your stock solutions for Calcium, Buffer and Magnesium?
i dont know what it is, but i really enjoy your intro music lol
i have never seen tinkers in captivity. pretty cool about as rare as Moorish idols.
Way more rare, thankfully the moorish idols are getting rare as they are challenging to keep
Just thought I’d tell you I’m one of the aquatics specialist at Petco and we get our Bangaii Cardinals through quality marine. I have 4 myself and got them super healthy.
where is the irobot glass cleaner/scraper?
I have one, his name is Max and he's 16
Always stay tune Jake, happy ied mubarak & have a good day everyone from Indonesia 🙌🙌
Terima Kasih
@@ReefBuildersVideo Wow, sama-sama 😊
hi jake which brand is best in quality red sea or waterbox since you have both
I say give the pump to me if the Blues win tomorrow night. GO BLUES!
You didn't mention anything about the first tank with the hammers and the psudo
Yeah it pretty much looks the same, corals and fish - I'll polish it up and show it off another time
Ok, that stand does not look it will stand that much weight. The two vats filled would be about a ton?
Yeah I shores up that stand and then danced on it with not an imaginary jiggle
Hey just wanted to say love your Channel but wanted to know if you could contact Aquarium or animal attractions in Greeley Colorado and see if you give them pointers on how to actually keep saltwater tanks I was in there on Saturday and their plants and their tanks were overdue for a cleaning by months
That’s a surprise because usually their tanks are pretty swanky, must have caught them before a cleanup
Suggestion for the giveaways: give it to the subscribers who are at most distance from your location. i‘m from Germany 😀
so jack its gonna be selling coral / fish or just a hobby ?
Freshwater Booooo Booooo boo !!!!!!!!
Reefbuilders studio is looking rad. Do you ever allow visitors? Would you do an open day?
Where is the studio located at?
Any updates on the new red sea lights????
Very soon!
Did I hear altum angelfish they are my holy grail freshwater fish
Yessir, got lucky to find some 25 cent size wild Altums for $25 about two years ago and they’re doing great!
thx for this vid. More videos are more supscribers ! go for it
Be much nicer if your camera guy would actually do some close up of the tanks. Just a thought could barely see anything you were pointing out.
Aluminium oxide is practically inert. What is it supposed to absorb?
It’s commonly used to adsorb phosphate and silicate
@@ReefBuildersVideo Huh, I'll have to look into that .
Jake what methods do you recommend for nitrate control?
Carbon dosing or macroalgae scrubber
Reef Builders i use to rate refugiums but you’re 100% right about the fact we have other methods which work wayyyyyy better
Start a cold water reef tank
I will do a cold water tank for sure, will wait until after summer
Let’s guess how many miles are on the forester for the prize 😎
Outback ;-)
What tank is at 11:17? On the right has a maxspect led light.
MaxSpect Razr 2
Reef Builders Thanks bud.
Oh a vectra you say Jake lol please🙏🏼😂
What happened with the nano tank?
Still there, looks exactly the same
I think it's better to give away the equipments to REEFBUILDERS who don't get a chance to hold on to fancy equipments hahahahahahaha
Do a 1 to 1000 number pick for the give away lol idk great update ✌
