Love this guy's vibe. Extremely sharp and humble

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Nailed it. John is a great human! ~Remy

[@devachapman6315]

dude living the dream for sure. cant imagine how much time,effort and money it takes to have all these tanks in top notch condition. could be all day there geeking out with this guy. supprised he does not have a YT channel to show case it all.

[@Swift--1]

This is my new favorite tank-tour video

[@TheKOzality]

5:08 "If that coral is thriving, that is an exciting coral." 100% agree

[@sacreefbro]

Wow, this is nothing short of spectacular. His dedication to the hobby is just something else. I’m looking forward to more in the future.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

You got it! ~Remy

[@MACNTOSFAM]

wow. just wow. wished i knew a reefer like him in our area. is this his profession? because if this is just his hobby, he’s all in it!

[@murrmansreef3944]

This video is awesome!! Well done John tanks look insane!! Great job putting it together Remy! *chefs kiss*

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Thanks so much! We need to go back and do a full breakdown of each system! That big tank didn't get nearly enough love. ~Remy

[@ReefRondo]

Best video in a long time. What an amazing place and nice guy! Thanks RB!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

We're hoping to change some stuff up. Thank you for noticing and watching! ~Remy

[@Wtfisthat6969]

Dude you have to go deeper with that guy that’s probably the most impressive systems I’ve seen since Jake

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Already in the plans. I was just talking to John today and told him we are coming back. This was a nice overview though! ~Remy

[@scottallan6770]

Absolutely a separate video on each tank please!!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@cory5386]

I'm so excited to see more of this guys. He definitely a gift to our hobby. His takes definitely need to be show cased. Thanks Remy for giving him a platform. Does he have a youtube channel or anything?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

He doesn't but his IG is linked in the description below! ~Remy

[@terrariumchannel]

Loved this one! His clam collection and the lagoonstyle tank where absolute highlites.

[@SharbucklesReef]

Wow. Dream basement! Great video Remy, thanks for the tour.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Even better, this is a deluxe "shed" in the backyard! ~Remy

[@SharbucklesReef]

@@ReefBuildersVideo even better! Clearly I was distracted by the tanks! Now I want a shed…..

[@bikemike6953]

Please more videos on this guys tanks! Get this guy on a podcast asap!!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Oh yes! Great suggestion! ~Remy

[@kayakcarol]

Fantastic! Please do go back, and Remy, don't be afraid to do a much longer video when you when you are touring amazing tanks like these!!

[@dusk1947]

Stunning and simply amazing collection of reef systems, incredibly well done. There is so much done well, I find it hard to have a favorite. However, what really won me over was the chemistry separatory funnel. Even his home culture system is well cared for and thought out.

[@johngraves2185]

Wow, that was super cool. I love the diversity! Cheers!

[@BankersReef]

Wow… this is incredible. Got me thinking about the nano I’m looking at and adding some corner bracing….. 😮 thank you reefbuilders!

[@Kingjaffeyjojo2900]

That’s Incredible I’d never leave home if my tanks were that beautiful 🤩 💯

[@DarrenKline-kq2sc]

Very interesting video and amazing tanks. Thank you for showing this.

[@mybeachshack]

Outstanding accomplishement(s) ! Love your love of the animals and the hobby. Contagious ! Could have told us more about the water chemistry you maintain. What you don't care about and what you do.... Obviously more than just nitrates and phosphates. Regardless, you're the leader of the pack here ! Well done. Thank you for sharing.... ❤🎉🎉

[@amandameckley8140]

Great video guys! John, your tanks look amazing as always.

[@lovermansmith9082]

Really Cool ! Thanks Guys . An update every 6 months would be Cool 😊

[@romanchongy9353]

Wow. Love the Christmas trees - so hard to keep unless you have a super mature system. Appreciate more info on your coral dip.

[@Alex_Correa]

Those clams need some metal halide really bad. Specially the gigas. Beautiful collection of organisms. Lovely video. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

[@AquariumSurge]

Wow this episode was amazing. I'll be sure to watch it tomorrow😂

[@SequoiaElisabeth]

It's amazing the level of the salt hobby here in the Mile High.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Right?! It's a good thing we'll be back a lot :) ~Remy

[@insanity4224]

Wow 😮 incredible achievement.

[@moereefer]

That super dream tank 😮.

Such cool stuff going on there. 👏👏👏👍

I’d pay for a tour over going to an aquarium lol

[@whatthereef]

Main display is amazing!!

[@bfritz7259]

Great job

[@queencityreefs]

This was amazing ❤🙌👏🙏

[@Bam-Bam1]

I have a Chicago sunburst anemone, and they are very beautiful. They change colors as they mature.

[@CoralReefkid]

Crazy tanks are the best tanks

[@SPNX]

insane

[@inland_reef]

Insane tanks!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

We coulda spent 2 days there. John has a work of art! ~Remy

[@encrustingacro]

4:24 This may just be because of captive deformation, but that does not look like Acropora florida. A. florida is more hispidose. 15:56 some deepwater Leptoseris would look good in that tank 19:23 That's actually a Tubastrea megacorallita. True Dendrophyllia tend to have longer corallite stalks and are more arborescent.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

After recently watching Jake's Solomon video I noticed that same thing. Capp also has a piece of this and they both look like each other but the wild version (if they are in fact the same species) look way different. ~Remy

[@encrustingacro]

@@ReefBuildersVideo Also, are you not having a livestream this week?

[@Random.Thoughts21]

More detailed video needed for each reef tank like its sump, parameters etc.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

In the works! This was just an overview. ~Remy

[@csprings71]

Where does he get the live stock , equipment lol in Colorado

[@nicbellanger1874]

He needs to sell tickets to the general public!

[@thomasdirocco]

John what coral species did you find not tolerate the potassium chloride dip well?

[@smithteo3479]

Is the evaporation rate high for big tank like this ?

[@yungbauerEugeneGene1]

Keeping

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@tktropicals4997]

Very cool. I wonder how much your water and electric bill is? You all must be rich.

the amount of money in that room could buy quite a few things. he has 10k in pumps alone. what does he do for a living?

He made French Horns! That shed used to house all the equipment. He's super impressive on many levels. ~Remy
