Reef Octopus 36" Sump Upgrade on the Saltwater Fish Tank

[@TheBadonski]

As a fellow Coloradan who is just getting into reefing, thanks for providing lots of inspiration and motivation!

[@hokemspitter]

Jake, about 13:15 minutes in, you will see what looks like water dripping down from the right flex-tube. It's a small drip, but I definitely saw a drip. Check that out bud!

[@BounceCorals]

The reef octopus sumps look amazing!

[@artofwar-3263]

Jake, sup bud. Glad to see everyone doing well at the studio. Stay safe brother !

[@Mike__B]

Gotta say, having that studio has to be great mental break considering the entire world is on hold right about now. I've been scrambling the past week as my 200G marineland DD started leaking... grrrr, so no big tank. But luckily I had one of those Rubbermade 300G troughs sitting in the back yard, so now I'm rocking the lagoon look now and for the long forseeable future.

[@Fluke-h6z]

Missed you ❤

[@alexsaenz7228]

Hello Jake love you r stuff don't stop reefing iam enjoy ing my nano🌀🌊🌴

[@freedomaquatics6328]

I bet you could get really tricky and turn that built in ATO to a fuge with a little work. That would involve cutting into it though and it is rather pretty looking.

[@barryrichards5015]

Bah Display skimmate chamber for the win

[@drexistre7364]

Nice upgrade Jake

[@ShanePsaltis]

Please explain the soft tubing you used for the overflow into the sump, what fittings did you use, Awesome video

[@barryrichards5015]

Cool. A display skimmate chamber. Probably 5 gallons in volume, so it can stay there on display for a couple months before emptying.

[@neilsreefaquarium9530]

Loving the new sump. Thinking of treating myself to a new custom sump soon 😁

[@jondressel6594]

Extra cool video. I love the production value and the in depth explanation of everything!

[@rahulshrm554]

This is really awesome. Lots of love ❤️ from India

[@manuelrojas9610]

Sooo clean, great job!!!

[@KreefAquariumhobby]

Very cool sump !

[@GEORIGE92]

How are you to clean the waist and I would say put a refugium

[@torbenbohn205]

Either that or a cool trickle filter... Waste collector is gonna be a nasty mess!

[@maddawgzzzz]

My cheato fuge is a life saver. It just grows like crazy to the point that I don’t have to do water changes for months. 300 gal tank so all that water does help.

[@510fitzy2]

Dumb question only because here in New Zealand we can get that style of flexible hose but not the adapter (I think).. So is there a name or a brand for those PVC adapters? If you have covered them in a video a link would be great.

[@THK619]

That sump looks like an exact replica of my icecap sump

[@MrLawrencegreene]

How do you like those flexible drain hose? Any leek issues?

[@GreatScottTheGamer]

Should link those products in the description please.

[@kevinw7044]

Sump looks awesome. Almost a shame to hide it away. Really like this setup with the bio bricks in use.

[@RichOxonard]

I know this js an old video. I didn't know you could cut that flexible pipe and use regular pvc fittings on it? Really that works.

[@t0l4nd]

What kind of PVC cutters are those? Are they good for schedule 40?

[@NerdistAquarist]

I wouldn't want to be the guy who's cleaning out gallons of skimate, lol

[@GarryL277]

Does octo have a app for the pumps and wave makers?

[@xKeepPushingPlayx]

What is the flexible hose you're using?

[@bigadventure3797]

Do they make a sump that is designed to use a filter roller instead of filter socks?

[@mohamedarif7312]

Thanks you so much videos

[@MereReef]

If the return pump runs a little warm it might not be a good idea to placw the seneye there as it may give weong temp reading

[@justinmartin970]

How quiet is the overflow on that tank? I just purchased the pro star 200 and wondering if I should convert it to a herbie. Thanks and keep up the great content Jake!

[@mr.no3871]

I don't like the xport bricks! I purchased some from BRS with microbacter 7 around the beginning of the year and it hasn't done any type of no3 removal. I think you should add some kind of macroalge reactor to keep the nitrates down

[@y.a.d1737]

have the same skimmer running in my 120 too, i felt its a over kill, lets see what happens here, is a maxspect rsx 300 good enough for a sps dominant 4.5 foot reef, jake do u have any idea, anyone can share an opinion.

[@zafishguy5166]

Is it wierd for me not to have a skimmer and yet always watch your videos on skimmers and sumps?

[@franzyy89]

U got a leak on one of ur drains

[@maddawgzzzz]

Nice build. Hate flex tubes.

[@kokofiveroseaalam2661]

Amazing video Dear, I like it sir very very very very nice, please tell me price Dear,

[@volteface69]

Merci Jake pour cette vidéo et tu n'as toujours pas répondu à mon mail !!! 👍👍👍

[@sambow7005]

Whose the assistant?

[@thewindsorc85]

🙋🏻‍♀️

[@iczerone2000]

Wouldn't it be a bitch to clean the skim mate from the ATO chamber? In my opinion, I'd rather just use an external bucket to collect the skim mate. Just take the bucket and pour it out.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Good thinking ahead and you’re not wrong, but I got a plan for that

[@iczerone2000]

Reef Builders Can’t for your update!

[@leo11877]

Are we going to talk about the tang stuck on the decorative rock?

[@thewindsorc85]

He’s not stuck. That’s where he likes to hide. He’s a line spot trigger.

[@ronderfulaquariums2978]

System looks amazing and esthetically pleasing nyyyyyyyce #jealous

[@aricard1980]

Six socks with matts on top to prolong the life down to two socks? Way nicer skimmer but seems like a skimmer swap was all that was needed.

[@brandonpolzin]

I think your drain pipe has a leak!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Shh 🤫 one drop per minute INTO the sump doesn’t qualify 🤔

[@brandonpolzin]

Reef Builders If it’s going into the sump, definitely not a leak! 😂

[@MASTERSURGEON04]

@@ReefBuildersVideo yest but the salt creep just a tho

[@sunilvermavlog2258]

good

[@jerryboics9550]

Now that's a well endowed sump. Wtf, why?....

[@h0kh0redarowana]

i missing new videos for other hobbies

[@Punisher32144]

The new sump looks awesome but the tank looks really shit wish it looked like the ocean instead of a beginner guide tank look for some who is trying to look after gold fish

[@MéisdeMaricá]

Boa tio

[@lisadimercurio9473]

I’d rather not use the ato section as a waste collector because it’s going to be very messy to clean 🤢 yuck

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Do you think that I'm going to be messing with the skimmate in the chamber? My plan is to NEVER touch it, Just wait until you see what I do with it!
