Vlog 25: Getting the 400 Gallon Planet Aquarium in Place

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Suffered a minor heart attack at 6:55!! Great vid!

[@AquaSplendor]

Perfect for a Betta fish.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Betta colony is already ordered

[@VIPReefAquariums]

Dollies on stand - Put tank on stand - roll stand with tank to final place - Remove dollies - Level tank. Made it seem harder than what it actually is, but it was fun watching someone else do it. Beautiful tank and can't wait to see it full of the best corals ever!

[@vitopalazzolo1546]

Once again I absolutely love this series makes me so excited for the endless limits

[@poisonouspython1410]

Holy pucker Batman, I've seen enough to know that is the last crew of guys I'd want placing my 400 gal aquarium on a stand. Thank goodness it didn't end in tragedy. I would've shed a tear for such a beautiful tank.

[@bee0877]

Awesome tank excited to see how you set it up.

[@Seattlekoi]

Does it come with the sump?

[@dramad2974]

Super nice. The tank is a beast. Looking forward to this build and interested to see the closed loop aspect as well

[@habutti]

lots of fun work ahead with this bad boy. Just getting the RODI water ready for it man! Please do keep us posted.

[@tritontr21]

Haha. I love watching you do what you love. You're like a kid in a candy store most time. I hope I'm able to visit your studio one day. Ultimate hobby cave.

[@tasanastasi7799]

Good Luck , i am one of millions who are really jealous right now, but also in the same breath , happy for you and thanks for sharing the love ;)

[@thepassionreef]

Wow that is one beast of a tank and beautiful as well....cant wait to see this up Jake....

[@bluereef9530]

Your studio is shaping up nicely. Like a dream come true. More videos please

[@Mike__B]

Ok when you guys were putting that tank up my butt clenched up as you squared it up to slide it on, I swear that corner was going to come off... whew glad it's ok though! Oh and when the studio is mostly up and ready, you absolutely need to show your monthly electricity bill off, just so that people aren't tempted to recreate this in their garages or basements and then get a shock from the power company when they see a bill that rivals their mortgage payments :D :D :D

[@MicrobiusBlue]

It was close for sure

[@devonmusika2142]

Haha me too!

[@DiepBlueC]

lol me too! right then I was like "oh no!"

[@joshbryant7363]

Absolutely....It was worse than a horror film for a sec there!!

[@REEF2REEFcom]

Dude I swear it was going to fall off!! My heart jumped, my eyes were wide open and I was like what the crap!?! Lol! Thanks for the adrenaline rush!

[@Reefbelontv]

Bonjour jack Quelle merveille ce bac, bravo a l’equipe pour le travail J’ai une question : pourquoi vous ne mettez pas de mousse de protection en l’aquarium et le chassis Merci Fred

[@nmillercc]

Cris is such a good dude. Amazing tank!

[@pikiahstudios4830]

Amazing Jake, my favourite aquarium channel for sure, always on the look out for the next vlog, still reeling from the poma labs angels they are so so nice, looking forward to seeing what other fish will come in to the studio, and well just so much other stuff to look forward to!

[@SirJeppy]

Danggggg that looks so nice!

[@BulkReefSupply]

So Jake, what is going inside? Super stoked to see what you come up with. The tank build is sure impressive, powder coated steel frame, closed loop, quality paint on the stand and likely some other awesome details I am missing. Best of luck with it and be sure to share it all with us!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Coral Triangle biotope reef tank, this is going to be one very special display for sure!

[@IkanHiasLaut]

Your studio more awesome everyday Jake 👍😍

[@eattix]

I was stressed just watching you guys moving and lifting it! Good work!!

[@RogueAquariums]

Very nice display tank Jake. I think Planet Aquariums make one of the best glass tanks out there. Looking forward to seeing this build come together. 👍

[@StewartRocco]

Daaaamn Jake, that’s a lot of tank. Very nice 👍 will stay tuned as always😎

[@c.marvin4011]

I'm late watching this but man watching you guys put that tank on the stand stressed me OUT!! LOL

[@PhilipCarnevale007]

Awesome tank? What did that tank run cost wise for 400g and stand?

[@Daveg99]

I've owned 2 custom planet aquarium tanks. My local club actually had a tour of their facility. I love the PVC bottoms

[@cameron6824]

Looking forward to see what you do with that one. 😎👍

[@Carlos23reef]

Planet Aquarium is definitely my next tank, love the quality that 400 gallon is going to be insane .

[@Chocodonuts13]

Just got one going about 6 weeks ago and i love it, would recommend.

[@JVHammond]

Wow. Would love to see a Pearlscale Butterfly, Regal Angel, and Imperator to test their reef safeness!

[@moviefan4life166]

Beautiful tank and stand!! It would be amazing to see an update so we can see it now. Can you please share anything?

[@TonysCorals]

Sad he passed away :(

[@moviefan4life166]

That’s so horrible to hear. He was so full of life in this.

[@lisadimercurio9473]

Looking forward to this build. How will you get the sump in? It's up against the wall

[@eddyortiz8110]

Awsome I have planted tanks with fancy swordtails can't wait to see this build.🍃🌿🌱🍀👍

[@seanfitzgerald6752]

Awesome thank you Jake!

[@Mike__B]

Damnit Jake, I know the video is only 11 minutes long but you're an enabler man! You're enabling my procrastination for today!

[@duppy666.]

You said you had some muscle coming to help. What happened to them?

some of my favorite people in this video!

[@gsander4837]

Love the powder coated top

[@cubanreefer1582]

How you are planning to put a sump in there ? From the sideline perhaps? It will be very interesting to see build of yours coming along nicely

[@chinoskiipaganchinoskii145]

the end was brutal🤣😂😅🔥🔥🔥🔥🤙🏻

[@rpeebles]

Been debating going 30" vs 24" tall and this convinced me that 30" is the way to go. Most everyone in our family is close to 6ft tall so gives a better viewing angle and lots of room to grow.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Yes exactly! I'm 6'4" and love keeping the top third of reefscapes open so I can enjoy them from the top down

[@e.k874]

whats the update on this tank!?!

[@jasonwoon]

Wish I got chance to visit your studio man. ! Love it!😍

[@dosmaiz7361]

I thought that corner of the tank was going to slip off. Lol

[@fishysnowman9082]

That’s going to be SICK !!!!

[@KreefAquariumhobby]

Beautiful tank !!!!

[@eddiediederich7244]

Yo Jake, that is one MASSIVE tank! I'm also genuinely curious as to how you're going to plumb it with those 4 holes on the bottom. Super freaking interesting man. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

[@carpman_here8133]

Coming from Boise Idaho in March for the show. Would I be able to come see the place when I’m in town. You are a main interest for getting into this passion. Love the info and education in your videos.

[@SuperYellowtang]

Can’t wait to see what you do with the bad boy 👍👌🤘

[@bandar1982]

Sooooo jealous. Beautiful looking tank

[@robertlopez2283]

Whats the retail price for that tank?

[@inthedogghouse86]

How much was that tank and stand set up

[@hokemspitter]

Wild tank. Good luck. Questions: With the stand does and separations, how can you slide in a large sump? Do any separators remove? Does a side panel come off? Move the tank/stand and is the back of the stand open to place the sump? Final question: what kind and size of sump are you planning?

[@andremuscat7923]

had the same question !! Waiting to see the sump in...

[@anchor4346]

Yeah I hope that sump fits between the door slats.. Or might have to do Sump tunnels from one section to the next.

[@NickNick708]

It's a masterpiece, very nice

[@MarineHobby]

Super cool tank 👍

[@volteface69]

Bonsoir Jake, Tu mets pas de mousse entre le meuble et la cuve ???

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

No sir, the tank and stand are precisely made

[@volteface69]

@@ReefBuildersVideo désolé mais sur mesure ou pas, une cuve ou un meuble peuvent avoir des imperfections et seul une mousse ou autres peuvent récupérer cette imperfection . Désolé pour le pousse bleu négatif mais jamais rien n'est parfait dans la vie et encore moins 2 produits différents, cuve en verre ou acrylique et bois . Ce n'est que mon avis bien sûr ... 🤔🤨👍👍

[@cooliipie]

Big planted tank with huge hardscape 😝

[@BhavneshPhekoo]

Please, could you replace all the bulbs on the ceiling in the studio with energy saving? Cool white only

[@skookumchuckreefer978]

Looking good

[@matmooNZ]

Moving large glass tanks gives me anxiety! Beautiful tank tho Jake!

[@tsurro8086]

Reef Builders Thank you so much. I used to live north of Denver Colorado

[@00ninja00]

Would’ve been awesome if you made this the fish only tank, and kept bunch of nice fish.

[@wiekiatong4018]

I would recommend to plant some slow growing plants. Put Egypt autumn angel. And get 300 cardinal tetra.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

I have a different tank with altum angels, tetras and swordplants

So Jelly.

[@reefrockcritter8943]

Same as my custom I just had delivered mines white but with a black steel frame

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Really? 96 x 30 x 30 from Planet Aquarium? I'm curious how you plan to design yours

[@reefrockcritter8943]

No from a company in the UK I'm in England fish tank fabrications

[@hotashesreef472]

Good facia to create the finished look by hiding the steel frame. #AnotherOne

[@Utahmikew]

That tank was so close to falling off that edge.

[@robertsoderlund4251]

You should put discus in the tank

[@janhenz1]

Whats a 'planet' aquarium?

How thick is that glass??? you need a tripod with nice wheels....Filled my shorts @6.53

[@1reefluvr2]

These long wait for updates is almost making me drive up to Denver to go see them in person. I would add 100 chillie rasboras and 2 zebra plecos and that would be it for fish.

[@LightSearch]

Stunning tank. Please don't put more than 1 or 2 big fish there, it will immediately make that tank look small.

[@ikkyplays4500]

Woaaah I would love to have some thing like that in my house I actually no where to put it aha I think my 300l is all I will ever have lol

[@nycjt6267]

Wasted opportunity at the end there. Coulda had so many shots of you in the tank LOL

How can the tank be 8ft if the dude laying down in it is almost touching both ends with head and feet?

biggest tank one Reef Builders (key word) is a planted tank wtf lol

[@reefFINatic]

I misread it at first too, but it's "Planet Aquarium" not "planted aquarium". It's a tank manufacturer.

[@sovereignviper90]

Way to copy aquatic arts tank 😉

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

I think his is 36" wide and deep for 500 gallons volume

[@sovereignviper90]

Yesh i think so also, entire time watching was thinking i bet I could get chris to answer his phone lol looks great man👍 see you at reefstock.

[@XxMalabooo]

my question is why a studio? To make better videos for more money? I'd imagine rent on that place to be pricey. God knows how much that 400G Aquarium cost. 8K?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

You could ask that of any artist, any craftsman etc. A better question is why not?

[@rsamano4434]

Technically it's 374 Gallons.
