Rip brother 🙏🏼

[@bradmarcus26]

How did he pass away?

[@Exses3D]

Don't mind me... I'm just here for the sweet beats and the trippy colors. 👌

[@wiebeschell7074]

Me everytime i open a new video of jake; "i will learn nothing new". Me after watching; "i've learned something new...". Great video Jake. Your corals look super healthy.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

that is always the idea, the eagle eye can usually glean one tid bit to apply to their tank

[@lchamp7946]

One of the best KZbinrs in our hobby! Always pulling back the curtain to share experience and knowledge, and giving us high quality videos. Appreciate how you keep it real and valuable, instead of pandering with worthless click bait topics. Thanks for everything you do for us.

[@ronderfulaquariums2978]

You have the MOST EDUCATIONAL CONTENT I tell YA AND you ALWAYS deliver it in a manner in which it can be WELL RECEIVED AND I APPRECIATE THAT!

[@jonathancollins9831]

Miss ya bud, hope all is well on the other side ✌️

[@macklife2121]

You have made me take a much more relaxed approach to reefing keeping. Instead of TRYING to mess with things trying to fix to much stuff so now I just let stuff be and enjoy the tanks they never looked better . Great videos Jake

[@IntoTheReef]

Awesome video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

[@reefpi3567]

Awesome content as usual Jake. Kudos to you and the crew,.

[@carlosfuentes5025]

Always enjoying your videos.

[@chrispeters4042]

Thanks buddy, you just solved quite a few issues for me in this video!

[@matteocardellino3849]

I really love your Chanel, is my favorite Chanel !!! Regards from Ecuador !

[@PassionateReef]

Your vids are really informative keep them up

[@davidwaters7345]

Great system Jake proof that if it’s easy to do you will do it and if it’s hard to do it won’t get done as much you’re corals are looking BEAUTIFUL 🔥👍👍👍

[@y.a.d1737]

I just needed a guide to dosing and u give it to me, jake my hero!

[@stanleyw7620]

your studio is reefer's paradise

[@jamesrecon14]

Awesome info as always

[@captivebredcanada]

The food colouring is a great idea!

[@tylerclontz]

I like what you said about the ab+. I’ve been using a+b for months now and I have no idea what’s in it either lol I’m waiting for ab+ to come out for consumers so I can try it. Great video thanks Jake. 👍✌️👊

[@caseypdx503]

Wowww first time I have seen corals in such detail! IMO, they look less real with more detail, but really cool looking obviously. They look alien, really...

[@jasonlazore497]

Amazing polyp extension. Miss having the strawberry shortcake in my tank but the miyagi tort is starting to become a center piece

[@danielmancini615]

Jake, may I ask what what parameter #s area.....even though U don’t chase. High, low, middle and where U at for no3 & po4....

[@glennrudolph]

Love your videos! I’m becoming a bigger and bigger brightwell fan. My corals (especially LPS and leathers) love neomarine more than any other salt. No clue why. And I need that hat!!!!

[@volteface69]

Salut Jake et merci pour cette vidéo !!! 👍👍👍

[@westwestwestwest2786]

Great Dosing video. What products do you use to test Alk, CA and mg? Any videos on testing? I know how to test but could learn something in the process that I'm overlooking.

[@MW-ut3dk]

Freestylin works well! Nice colors!!

[@SharbucklesReef]

Great video Jake. Thanks :) Stay safe and healthy amigo

[@MoeReefs]

Coral master right there. Thanks Jake.

[@luisherediaphoto]

Thanks for the eye candy pls please put more I’m super bored I’m this Quarantine

[@jamesisrael484]

You got some fire in that camp!

[@McFarts]

I just started dosing all-for-reef manually with the dosing bottle like this. It's nice to see how successful that approach can be.

[@posegroup6177]

I've been using all for reef for 6mths, watch your mag, mine was off the chart although alk and calc were in check! Keep an eye on it, I've just dropped afr, to go back normal balling method👍

[@bluethumbaquaculture6370]

I got one of those aquamedic 4 channel dosers, the 1st pump head seized up on me after 2 months. the other 3 heads still work but just like u have now have the kameor BT doser sitting on top of my aquamedic lol

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

That thumbnail just got hella colorful! Great video Jake!

[@AL_EVOz]

Hey Jake! hope things are going well! stay healthy and safe!

[@jorgemacias1617]

You are great at what you do! Keep up the good work! I learn a lot watching your videos question: what camera do you use in those beautiful Videos of the corals at the beginning of the video? Thanks!

[@homegrownreefer]

awesome video! can you do a video on acropora? All the different kinds, go threw the colors,growth and where they are found in the wild? if you know how they came to be apart of this hobby? Like fox flame where that coral was found etc? i search youtube for acropora videos and nobody has what im looking for! Basically do acropora interviews? thanks again for the content.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

I’ll do my best

[@pachote293]

Love the new intro song! Keep this one.

[@nicolesworld6751]

Hey Jake, what’s up with the tank hanging over the stand. Great video

[@nicholasg9072]

Great see your 24k gold Torch is going strong 💪 Jake

[@DG-ee9im]

jake, you remind me of roger federer if he had a beard :D

[@kurthunter8940]

Killer intro footage

[@benhowardbath]

Awesome vid Jake!!! Can you do another studio tour?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

It’s coming up for sure

[@antmaniac]

Hello Jake, need your help please? We acquired the carnation coral yesterday without knowing that it’s going to be so difficult to keep. Did some search and found that you have an article in reefbuilder blog. So, i have phyto and zooplankton in bottles (not live ones), when feeding the coral I turned off filter, directly blast the planktons with a pipette onto the corals and leave them like that for 10 minutes or so. Is that enough time before I turn on filter? Because once filter is on a lot of food gets sucked into filter... I really want to make this work, as a challenge to ourselves during the quarantine period and beyond. Thanks in advance! Love watching your videos and learn about other hobbyists’ aquariums! Inspiring!

[@atfinthehouse8631]

Absolutely, add things in small amounts. Tank and it’s inhabitants will take up whatever tiny amounts they need and what’s available. Think of a reef tank like a human body. The cells know what to do. They grab and use what they need. Just need to make sure it is available.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Well said

[@bluereef9530]

Definitely miss Jake I wonder all the new knowledge we are missing.

[@Sativa098]

I just wanna roll a joint and go chill with jake in the studio,,, thats cool right?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

You betcha

[@J-O-H-N]

When and where?!!?!!

[@larrybu2000]

Wonderful, liked and sub.

[@traviscromartieful]

Not sure if brightwell didn’t have this when the video was made or you started using it. But why do you use the alkaline8.3 P and calcion P vs the brightwell Reef Code A & B powders

[@9StickNate]

That strawberry shortcake and the blue Tenuis are insane! Impressive coloration and polyp extension. What was the Acro at 20:00?

[@jasonlazore497]

I was wondering that myself

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

I dun I, a wild piece I just call The Rose

[@Jstn190]

Coral look great! other than the dosing regiment do you spot feed the scolly or other large lps

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Yes I do - in fact when I spot feed the LPS I imagine their waste and nutrients then trickling down to my SPS

[@Jstn190]

Reef Builders whats your favorites foods to spot feed the larger lps ?

[@tanguybentot2880]

I Jake , thanks for this vidéo 🇧🇷

[@tplummer217]

Those gold torches!

[@tashfiqmannan]

You never mentioned how often your doing the manual trace dosing? Is that daily??

[@ProducerReef]

All the corals look nice and happy....I'm thinking about using my stirrer to dose Kalk. Should i dose it with a doser or just let the ATO handle it? How do you measure the Kalk? I have the Reef Octopus KS-100. I have Brightwell Kalk+2. I would love to get my PH up as well.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

It's a risky idea to dose kalk through ATO - I use a dosing pump to dose a measured amount of fresh/kalkwater and gravity-fed float valves make up the difference.

[@ProducerReef]

@@ReefBuildersVideo Ok so the gravity float replaces the water in you Kalk Stirrer? I can see the doser being safer because theres a level of control....

[@JustMyFish]

My Reef tank is 90g I only have 15 corals in there LPS SPS and soft coral. I am using All For Reef from tropic marine. 5m per day Sunday off. It’s very good and saves a lot of money I only need one Auto dosing head because it doses every thing all in one. I don’t think it would be very economical for a tank over 100/120g but it works for me my corals have taken on fair amount of size and are brighter than they’ve ever been. 👍🏻💞

[@mikearagon4357]

Jake - great video! I just want to know where I can find those dosing jugs!? They look like the same jugs algae barn ships phyto in, I can see myself using those for many things I daily dose!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Any online vendor, Uline or Amazon

[@mikearagon4357]

Reef Builders I found some on amazon went with 16 oz. a lot of my daily dosing stuff will be moved to these, I am always measuring out and going through a ton of syringes and then have to clean them.

[@junior-1724]

Where can I get the Manila dosing container your using in the video?

[@junior-1724]

*manual

[@ryanreeves8931]

Two things, 1) it’s amazing to see HOW MUCH WORK and progress you have made to the studio since the inception. & 2) It’s great not to see any orange plastic crap around your systems. The room and corals look amazing.

[@martinalbertoflorido3984]

Muy buenos videos RB pero no los pobran aser con sudtitulos me gustaría aprender mas de este goby tan hermoso, saludos desde león gto México 👍👍

[@Ruffles206]

Martin Mira los vídeos de Pepe raked el está en cd de Mexico Yo estoy aquí en USA 🇺🇸 y sigo este canal Una recomendación cada acuario es diferente mientras tu tanque esté bien no te preocupe por otras cosas saludos

[@ferrari_guy3570]

Do they make an all in one for dosing small reef tanks such as 20gallons or 40 gallons tanks?

[@zafishguy5166]

I will eventually need a doser for now I just do it manually but its only 11 mil of all for reef everyday for my tank given little to no coral growth... I am doing great with my 11 fish however.

[@posegroup6177]

All for reef, its dross, corals stall, and mag goes sky high

[@christiannavarro6048]

Does adding food coloring also affect the tanks water color over time

[@justinswinney3344]

No issues with food coloring coloring tank water?

[@y_gagaring]

Hey Jake where do you get those dosing bottles from?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Uline or Amazon

[@tomg5405]

I use all for one product for all and it works great

[@JeanEstevez]

Nice torchs any one for sale?

[@onlyphins]

RIP😢

[@pachote293]

Which food coloring product do you use ? this is so smart bro wow!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Any food coloring, probably come from the same place

[@y.a.d1737]

Oh jake, just make one video man, I'm starving for it, really bored in home lock down,😊

[@Mike__B]

ok I've been on the fence for dosing amino acids, I mean my 200g tank is just under a year old, but you've convinced me. Any recommendations, other than the big 3, on what to dose on 100% SPS tank? Mostly montis and acros, although there are some other sps (stylo, pocillipora, etc)

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Dose 10 ml per day and you should notice a big difference within DAYS (if other parameters are on point)

[@Mike__B]

@@ReefBuildersVideo Dose 10mL per day of what? Acropower?

[@gentil.d]

congratulations for the channel and the videos you make are very expert. do you tell me for an aquarium Red Sea 60x60x60cm how many kg of rocks should I insert? thanks

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

As little as needed to simply hold up the coral

[@robertshupien7746]

Does anybody know the name of the artist at the end of this video

[@NeptuneRjo]

Is reef energy ab+ more concentrated compared to a mixture of a and b?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

A little bit, so they say but not by much

[@charlesd7289]

Hey Jake - A question that is always on my mind. Let's say my normal daily dkH sits around 8.1. On Sundays I mix up a batch of RedSea Coral Pro saltwater and do a 10% water change. The RedSea mixes a little higher, let's say 11 dkH. So obviously on Sunday, my Alk is gonna spike a bit. My question is how disruptive is this spike to the overall health and growth of the corals? My understanding is that any thriving system most importantly must remain stable, and one day a week I'm completely ignoring that in the name of nutrient export. Am I pressing a reset button every week by shocking my corals with this spike?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Nah, I wouldn’t worry about it - I’ll bring up dKH pretty fast if I need to

[@Mike__B]

You sure that squirt pump is calibrated, at 9:30 when you were squirting the peninsula tanks, one of those squirts looked quite a bit more than 2/3rds of a ML. BTW, not sure if Colorado is in any way under lockdown, but stay safe.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

It’s ‘loosely, calibrated, a full pump is better when I’m not holding a camera in the other hand

[@matyouzbachi9008]

I put trace elements abcd And AB+ Should i do acropower as well ?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Most definitely! I went a couple months just dosing AB+ thinking it would have the same goodies as AcroPower, but there was a noticeable improvement in growth and color when I started dosing AcroPower as well

[@matyouzbachi9008]

How much should i dose for the 625XXl (160 gallon) thanks in advance

[@elchavito4372]

Does brightwell sell that 5 gallon powder supplements?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

I'm sure it's available, by special request at the very least

[@kensellick4892]

Jake’s secret sauce Thank’s

[@nftsparatodos1274]

the first one in comment ua ua, Nice corals, greetings from Dallas, Tx.

[@joseochoa2792]

Is the food coloring reef safe or have you paid attention to see if there is any side effects?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

if it's safe enough to eat, it's totally safe for aquariums

[@stonefarmer3005]

When I started using coloring I kinda freaked out when my skimmer cup had purple skim-mate! Then I realized it’s just the colors getting skimmed out and mixing... red & blue= purple!

[@TheBritishMelonn]

Is there any chance we could get an in depth topic about ion imbalance? There seems to be a lot of misinformation out there. Be good for Reefers to understand and be aware of it.

[@jluusaltwateraquarium8320]

Hey sir Thanks you for video is super fantastic.... I just order two from your place I hope look good putting inside my tank.... One day's I hope that you can too Richmond Virginia see my tank what else I need too make better and better likes all people's inside KZbin.... Thanks again sir...
