Love the studio. Love the hobby. Love your passion. Keep up the great work!

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Nice to catch up with your update of all the happenings in the studio Jake. Thanks for this. Re. GFO Vs Aluminium oxide I have heard a it’s lot more favourable to go GFO/ avoid the Aluminium oxide.

[@epicnas12342]

Jake you’re one lucky guy. I wish I had your job. Great work though 👍🏻 Look forward to the future videos

[@krypt-oaquatics7883]

Studio looking great man! Thanks for the update

[@litoloco4fish]

You are so together!!! Beautiful job, and so beautiful that you do something for a living that you love and enjoy...it shows in your emotions and in the beautiful work you do!!!

[@robschierbaum]

Been following the channel for a while now. Awesome to see everything coming together for you jake. I love the hobby. And its cool to see that you are doing all this as your hobby and not just a way to generate income.

[@artofwar-3263]

The whole studio 👌 looking awesome.

[@hihowego4133]

My favorite garage in the whole wide World.😊

[@jburtlanders]

Saw the video pop up was like Jake Adam ! Yes!!

[@insanity4224]

Looking good. I’m not a fresh water guy but if I had that many tanks I would definitely do a couple 👍

[@tristanhen2915]

it would be great if we could get a close up of the coral flats!

[@ricosaquariums7992]

Looking really good brotha👊👍

[@eddiediederich7244]

So many awesome build going on. Love the water setup.

[@MoeReefs]

Awesome job Jake! The studio is on point.

[@BrianLKL222]

I just started my journey into saltwater aquarium and I love your video. There sir, you have an awesome studio! More videos! 🐟🐠😍😁

[@zerberus2525]

Awesome Setups Jake! For the Mangroves if you didnt know that, they love some freshwater mist on the leaves. I had a couple myself but after i shut that tank down i gifted them a good buddy.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Yep, I give them a little rain every few days

[@johnlotsu7275]

Thanks for an overview of yr systems, all looking great. Really enjoying yr videos. Gd luck with the nudis, they are a pita, I’ve been there and managed to eradicate them by daily, regular checking esp night time and scrubbing my montis. These things keep us on our toes lol.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

I should try to spy on them at night, good idea

[@sebaseven7220]

Very good job Jake. This place is shrine marin aquaristic. Best regards from Poland🇵🇱

[@bryanbonilla6858]

I love your videos Jake. I had a quick questions...what species of corals can you scrub to rid of algae without compromising the health. My montipora are covered in algae and I just take off what I can without causing too much damage to the polyps. I know my phosphates are high but I'm controlling that. Unfortunately I let it go on too long and then life got in the way and the algae just took over. Again I love how you are maintaining all these different species... definitely a thing of beauty 😊.

[@Albertoamigon]

For the water level in those tanks... you should mark them with 5gl 10gl will be annoying at first but once you do it will be worth it to know exact amount!!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Yeah we have something in mind for that

[@seanfitzgerald6752]

Very cool video thanks Jake

[@KreefAquariumhobby]

Great update!

[@harkinsaquatics]

So happy you finally put out a new update.

[@golbs7542]

hey jake, those water level indicators a re cool, you can also put a fishing float in there as well so you can see it from across the room.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

I’ve thought about that, some kind of fluorescent float that will be even more visible, will look at fishing floats thanks for the tip

[@BahamaLlamaCoral]

Contest title: What Gets You Pumped? lol...

[@jonandlisa2000]

The studio is looking sweet 🤩

[@nwyk153]

In Singapore, majority of the Reefers uses tap water w dechlorinator such as Prime or Safe for their Reef tanks. I'm just in awe seeing their SPS thrives with just tap! Here in NY, it's totally different.

[@manuelmaldonadojr2526]

I love your place.

[@eddyortiz8110]

I've been waiting for a peak at that planted tank for weeks! And to my surprise we have the same exact sailfin mollies 💛 I just had a drop of about 45 to 50 fry in one of my tanks🌿 Did I hear you correct at the beginning with the big tank is going to be planted? I guess I could check? Dah!😂 I have 8 planted tanks and a pond tub with a group of Kohaku Koi Swordtail and all my tanks have fancy swordtail.Thanks looking great!💜💚

[@JAY-xc2rn]

Jake you don't get the arms with the red sea lights the bracket's are extra you will be amazed by the growth of these lights I can't believe it fantastic lights oh btw love the channel from your new English friend jay

[@dramad2974]

Studio looks amazing as always. Very nice everything.👍👍👍

[@volteface69]

Sympa, merci !!! 👍👍👍

[@ReefandDive]

Wow tanks look great! I can’t imagine the job of keeping so many systems!

[@eddyortiz8110]

I checked and I'm pumped to see what you create! Remember the beautiful Swordtail when you stock it with fish!🤔😉🙄🙄✌🌿🌱🍃

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

I have already kept the longest swordtails, Xiphophorus montezumae, might bring them back someday as I love them

[@leorilan4013]

Great video. Big like. Love the work u do there

[@ReefTankTV]

You're living my dream bro. Inspired by this series! Keep it up :)

[@andygustafson1]

Like the walkthrough vids, thanks!

[@fishguyny2505]

nice cant wait for the t shirts ill get one for sure

[@jonasroman627]

Nice to hear you are satisfied:-). Looking forward to also see Dosetronic in action soon then::-). Thanks for liking our products/Jonas

[@aliciakamui]

Amazing your studio, I loved it!

[@boehmlauren01]

Looking forward to a future update on the Red Sea lights. Looks promising.

[@justfollow9965]

Loved it keep it up!

[@Mike__B]

Good job with the big water system stand, I recently got my water making/mixing station up too in the garage, and have it plumbed through the walls and OMG! Having a hose where the tank is that I can just grab turn a valve and poof saltwater, or freshwater, so great. I will say that I may have to steal your idea of the clear tubing to determine water level though, absolutely brilliant idea... better than just knocking on the side of the container and getting a feel for where about the water is. FYI if you do pump it up you can get remote controlled outlets really cheap, so you can just press a button while you're next to the tank you're servicing with water without having to trudge back and forth. So jealous of all the species specific tanks though, something I would do here except California electricity rates will make me go broke very quickly. :D

[@bluereef9530]

Just a heads up. When your hot water tank goes. Your going to need to get to it. Great video your studio coming along. Awesome, looking forward to more and like to see products reviews.

[@derrickhueniken2119]

This video makes me jealous. I wish I could have access to all the equipment you have...

[@TheNyfishguy]

Thanks for the Studio Update, Everything Looks Amazing 👍🏼 😍 Where can I get those Dispensers ? Those would Make Services Easier for My Team ! Thank You in Advance 🤙🏼 Peace✌🏼

[@fasttlife1807]

You are on your way to being the Doug Demuro of Reefing...KEEP IT UP

[@AquariumsDownUnder]

I love ocean reef marine aquarium they have so much good stuff and I’m so lucky to live near them

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Yeah you are!

[@AquariumsDownUnder]

Easily one of the best stores wa

[@harry8130]

One competition idea could be a contest showing off your frag growth over 6 weeks or so. The marine aquarium fanatics Australia page is doing something like this currently

[@murrmansreef3944]

Aluminum oxide tends to work faster but breaks down in a reactor I usually remove it after 4 days to a week so it doesn’t leech back. But as far as silicate reduction goes it should be faster than gfo just like it is with phosphate. GFO is better for long term use ime and aluminum oxide is better for immediate/emergency use.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Good to know, thanks for the feedback

[@SantaMonicaFiltration]

This will convince even Apple to get into reefs.

[@DeltaKiloExotics]

I vote yes on a video on the freshwater tank, some people dabble in both...amazing studio...props

[@DeltaKiloExotics]

I swear you have a twin in the freshwater hobby that works at the Wet Spot in Portland Oregon...lol

[@yalfonso85]

Hi Jake, great video! For the giveaway I think it would be nice if you have a post or email where people can send you pictured of their reef and the reason they would like to win the pump and choose based on that. Can't wait for the giveaway. Congratulations no the 50K Subscriptions. I love your channel and you always great information to share. Keep up the good work.

[@mukeshsharma-fe5bi]

Its really awesome

[@drewjanes307]

OH PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON HOW YOU TREAT FOR NUDIBRANCH IVE LOST MY GREEN AND STARBURST RED IS LEFT BUT NOT SURE HOW LONG OR WHAT TO DO WHEN ITS ON A BIG ROCK

[@adamschaafsma5839]

You could have folks submit stories the Vectra giveaways. Maybe a little generic but it's a thought.

[@rustysaquariums7948]

Nice Video, can you let us know how you make your stock solutions for Calcium, Buffer and Magnesium?

[@DeeFromBrooklyn]

Studio looks beautiful. How about a contest where subs video tentative plans or set up for the 400 gallon system. It may give you ideas you haven't thought of for the vectra usage

[@metalldanny]

Yesyesyes Bangaii video!!

[@GlassBoxAquatics]

Where did you get the nifty stands for the hanna checkers? Also for the clothing, please make some big and tall stuff! I'm a 6XLT lmao!😂 the industry discriminates against plus sized reefers haha!

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

The stands are 3D printed racks by Printed Reefing Solutions

[@fhirdose]

hi jake which brand is best in quality red sea or waterbox since you have both

[@darylducholke4059]

Another Great video:)! Hey if you want to save yourself some time and money...grab a couple spray bombs of Flex Seal ...two coats on that stand ...better then powder coated!

[@braveheartreefer525]

Been waiting for this one Jake

[@coraladdict5059]

Reefbuilders studio is looking rad. Do you ever allow visitors? Would you do an open day?

[@jhonnigunawan8727]

so jack its gonna be selling coral / fish or just a hobby ?

[@Utubereefer]

You should do your contest like billy pipes reefco 8k giveaway. Make people post videos of their reefs to be entered. It's great for bringing the community together! The Studio looks awesome! Keep up the great work!

[@bluefathoms3236]

Have people submit their best reef hack that they preform to keep their tank at its best...and that might help the community at the same time..then pick the best one

[@kingincrimson]

Ok, that stand does not look it will stand that much weight. The two vats filled would be about a ton?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Yeah I shores up that stand and then danced on it with not an imaginary jiggle

[@pineapplemanbuhr1248]

Hey just wanted to say love your Channel but wanted to know if you could contact Aquarium or animal attractions in Greeley Colorado and see if you give them pointers on how to actually keep saltwater tanks I was in there on Saturday and their plants and their tanks were overdue for a cleaning by months

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

That’s a surprise because usually their tanks are pretty swanky, must have caught them before a cleanup

[@EliCarter]

Where is the studio located at?

[@fazujii]

Oh no! You didnt show us the token nano reef. Stoked to see an update on that one😁

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

It looks exactly the same, corals fish and all

[@1reefluvr2]

You didn't mention anything about the first tank with the hammers and the psudo

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Yeah it pretty much looks the same, corals and fish - I'll polish it up and show it off another time

[@PokePackFire]

where is the irobot glass cleaner/scraper?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

I have one, his name is Max and he's 16

[@The_Scriggles]

heres a clever idea... give them all to me!

[@Chris-bd8vs]

Awesome

[@MoreTankMoreProblems]

Photo contest for the vectras!

[@hhinojosareef1]

What took so long Jake!lol Happy Reefing brother.

[@miguelsalty]

Bring out more videos paalllease 😿

[@MereReef]

Jake what methods do you recommend for nitrate control?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Carbon dosing or macroalgae scrubber

[@MereReef]

Reef Builders i use to rate refugiums but you’re 100% right about the fact we have other methods which work wayyyyyy better

[@junior-1724]

Any updates on the new red sea lights????

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Very soon!

[@bluecollaraquatics5268]

what do you for a living to have such a sweet fish room

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

This is it

[@hhinojosareef1]

What tank is at 11:17? On the right has a maxspect led light.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

MaxSpect Razr 2

[@hhinojosareef1]

Reef Builders Thanks bud.

[@JRPaquatics]

What happened with the nano tank?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Still there, looks exactly the same

[@JayMoodley]

Thanks for the update.. would be interesting if you evaluate with dips actually kill Monti eating Nudis

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

I don’t rely on any dips for nudi removal, it’s basically all manual removal

[@JayMoodley]

@@ReefBuildersVideo I did watch the episode with using a waterpic for removal off nudis, actually doing that in my system as i found its more effective than all the dips i have tried.

[@siggyincr7447]

Aluminium oxide is practically inert. What is it supposed to absorb?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

It’s commonly used to adsorb phosphate and silicate

[@siggyincr7447]

@@ReefBuildersVideo Huh, I'll have to look into that .

[@jeremyvasquez511]

Hi how are conspicuous angel fish doing?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

They’re good - grown a bit but still anxious to see more adult colors come through

[@Ellery-USA]

Montipora eating nudibranchs are a nightmare. The only montipora that survived were the ones with dresses in them.

[@TommyG0]

i dont know what it is, but i really enjoy your intro music lol

[@carolinab2209]

I say give the pump to me if the Blues win tomorrow night. GO BLUES!

[@Trimech-np2od]

Freshwater Booooo Booooo boo !!!!!!!!

[@garycharles8649]

Do you have a single tank with any live sand in it?

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Nope!

[@garycharles8649]

@@ReefBuildersVideo Thanks for replying. What is your reason for no sand? Is it not more natural for the fish?

[@christianfischer8079]

Suggestion for the giveaways: give it to the subscribers who are at most distance from your location. i‘m from Germany 😀

[@chrisserra3718]

Be much nicer if your camera guy would actually do some close up of the tanks. Just a thought could barely see anything you were pointing out.

[@scubaguy5389]

i have never seen tinkers in captivity. pretty cool about as rare as Moorish idols.

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Way more rare, thankfully the moorish idols are getting rare as they are challenging to keep

[@savenature2717]

thx for this vid. More videos are more supscribers ! go for it

[@ImCools]

Oh a vectra you say Jake lol please🙏🏼😂

[@chico.flavored]

I think it's better to give away the equipments to REEFBUILDERS who don't get a chance to hold on to fancy equipments hahahahahahaha

[@TimeToReef]

Send in photos of coral or tanks and the best two, or your favourite two win

[@cosmicalarm]

Do a 1 to 1000 number pick for the give away lol idk great update ✌

[@Thecoralreefaquarium]

gfo is best for reef systems .ALUMINUM HYDROXIDE is for fish only systems.
