The Best Ways to use Controllable Pumps

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

I appreciate everyone's concern about my metal hose clamps, I assure you the corals are in no danger - even though I replaced them with titanium I think I'll replace them altogether so you guys don't have to worry.

[@Mike2k30]

Rest in peace Jake..... I was concerned on my new aquarium return pump speed. This video answered everything I needed to know. You will be greatly missed. 😢

[@CriticalErA]

I still come back to your videos Jake, you will forever be a valuable resource to our beloved hobby! you are truly missed!

[@RobTeeJr]

Thanks. How about a updated tank tour?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

partly shot, editing this week and will start a string of tank features from the studio

[@JaeToy]

You’re a great contribution to the reefing world Jake. Thanks for all that you do.

[@johnreefervermont4874]

Jake, thank you for teaching us and making our job so much easier. I thrive with knowledge and you feed us a lot of valuable knowledge. Thank you for everything you do

[@Ant0n_42]

Thanks jake Adams for your commitment to the hobby and the survival of many peoples corals you will be missed mate 👍

[@Pioneer_Entomology]

Very helpful and I hope your channel grows and does well.

[@cannondale97]

You brought up an excellent point with regards to having only 3 times turnover flow rate for your return pump since you'll need powerhead pumps anyway to help circulate the tank properly. With proper circulation, detritus will be stirred up onto the water column and taken down into the sump, so it defeats the purpose of having a return pump with a flow rate higher than 3 or 4 times.

[@ghost61]

how about a series on how to use Brightwell aquatic products. thanks

[@luisherediaphoto]

Mind blown thanks men ur videos are like when I see corals beautiful !

[@BALD8BIL]

Great video!!!! I have a sicce 7 return pump for my 94 gallon aquarium with 40 gallon sump right now it's in test mode at 43%

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

that's how you do it!

[@arthurman9021]

would love to see a mid range light comparison soon when the maxspect jump blue version against these illumagic blue version

[@flaviodesignaquariums1690]

I have 3 waveline dc pumps,whitch i picked up like 6 years ago. Love them, do you know what ever happened to this brand pump?

[@taylor4tails]

Trying to figure out what size return pump i needed a few months ago was actually really hard. I think I bough correctly, (comes tomorrow) Maxspect Jump 6k for my waterbox marine x 90.3 If not i'll upgrade in the future. Great video with lots of tips and help. Just wish it came out sooner. Cheers

[@maninavanworldwide3016]

ur great white return pump has a metal hose clap thats in the water, my question is.... wouldnt the metal give off and corrode into the water? i was figuring you would use a plastic hose clamp or plastic zip tie. with those 3 option would you preferred. and that ph hack you thought of is badass nice work

[@MrMushroomish]

Would be cool if you made some before after coral growth. Not with special regards to pumps, but just in general.

[@hunterh891]

I think as long as you have enough wavemakers and powerheads in the aquarium then you can most definitely dial back and tune your return pump to perform better.

[@Z-man8768]

Literally setting up my 60g cube right now. Full steam ahead!

[@ou812reefing]

Hay Jake I have a proclear pro star 60 what are your thoughts on tank turnover and should both filter socks have equal flow

[@parcool9541]

I have Skimz protein skimmer and it has feeding mode too and its great skimmer👍

[@jpinto1632]

Jake you should do a video on bare bottom tanks and how to avoid bacteria blooms or the struggles when setting up a bare bottom with dry rock. Every time you make a new tank it seems like you don’t struggle at all especially with the Australian scoly dominated reef..

[@Algaewarrior]

It seems like the more water you put through a system the faster it removes nitrates and phosphates leading to bottoming out issues. The lower turnover system would provide a higher dwell time in the system for the corals to absorb nutrients.

[@frogger7509]

What pump you recommend for a nano fluval evo 13.5 UPGRADE

[@justnanoreefs3172]

Sicce syncra 1.0 fits perfectly

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

​@@justnanoreefs3172 that;'s a good choice

[@reeferkenneth8657]

Anyone know the smallest DC controllable pump out there for pico reefers? Thanks.

[@ghost61]

what are your setting on the illumagic minis

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

140% on the royal blue and UV channels for three hours, then 100% on all channels for four hours, then back down again the same way

[@ghost61]

@@ReefBuildersVideo thanks Jake

[@glenbuyer8738]

Jake can we get a new video with mike rice. His nano is what got me into reefing and I’ve love to see what he’s up to these days

[@fadetoblack.-]

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. but I thought you were not supposed to use metal in your tank at 5:09.

[@GETBNT1]

How do you find the noise of the Geat White Pump?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Very quiet

[@kylem1208]

Definitely pump selection

[@MrPrentissDJones]

This is the CADE? Looks like 👍

[@pehan1712]

if i do discuss tropical fish tank 500 liters, would i be ok with tmc pump 1000l/h or 2000/h?

[@borinvlogs]

i have 480litre waterbox tank and running 8000/h

[@chrismoniz5898]

Wonderful tank but I don't think that hoseclamp is reefsafe lol

[@user-kj8wr2ti2h]

Titanium hose clamps are saltwater safe :)

[@chrismoniz5898]

@@user-kj8wr2ti2h did not know they maid them like that thanks for the tip . but for me it was good plastic clamps from amzon

[@jfi2ee]

Love the tank... Are you able to share you lighting schedule please?

[@lucamartino3007]

Jake my guy, I think you could have mentioned how the versa dosing pumps are basically impossible to get right now. It’s almost getting crazy how bad EcoTech is doing with product availability.

[@KreefAquariumhobby]

Great info!

[@Brmmsilva]

Jake, you don't worry about those metallic braces in the water? It seems the answer is clearly not, so the question is why is that? Thanks!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

surgical stainless that doesn't live underwater so will barely corrode if at all

[@petery.1187]

@@ReefBuildersVideo let us know please about the corrosion a few weeks later please. I hope it doesn't.

[@taylormzalewski]

I used to use plastic ones because I was afraid of the metal leaching into the tank

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

@@petery.1187 it's been three months

[@cegentry]

What’s up with that metal clamp Jake?

[@Jacropora]

This ^ jubilee clip, shake my head

[@gethrob20]

The great white pump is very similar to the tmc connect, or is that the other way around? 🤔😂

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Also the Red Dragon X

[@REEFPizza]

Metal zip on the pump underwater? 🤯 Hope is made of titanium

[@nim6us]

I always love the content, however I think the video title is misleading. It should have been something like “Reasons you should be using a DC pump”. From the title I was expecting some kind of hack on a new way to use my controllable pumps, but instead it’s was more bullet points of DC pump features. Again, not bad, just not what I expected.

[@richardportelli1983]

They look like decent pumps, still think I would rather pay a few extra bucks for the vectra pumps.

[@Redwoodmartin]

Take another look at your pump specs. If you are feeding it a sine wave it's an AC pump. I think the pump you are showing is DC.

[@tedfisher1396]

All controllable pumps are dc bud, unless u want to get a expensive frequency drive

[@GETBNT1]

Hydor have a controllable AC return pump...

[@AngelArroba1]

Many better the DC pumps Abyzz, Aquabee, Deltec (made by Aquabee) or Royal Exclusiv!!! :)
