I miss Jake :( but I am so thankful these videos are documented and available so his knowledge lives on. His passion and excitement for these corals was so incredible.
Props for not taking older fish to the pet store Jake, hate seeing 6-10 year old fish being dropped off at pet stores because owner got tired of seeing the old fish and wanted something new, shows true heart when you choose a fish and give it the best life possible till the end when it Dolors of old age
Loved the tour, I appreciate the corals that never show on any instagram photos get to be displayed in all their glory at the reefbuilders studio. One example I loved was to see the big colony of montipora capitata
I was so excited for these videos, I had to stream them from my tv so I could really enjoy all the tanks!! Thanks for taking the time to put these together.
Fintastic! Thank you for taking the time to deep dive all the tanks. The Planet aquarium tank is going to be a show stopper for sure. Better start playing with some rocks.👍
Very nice place you have, Jake. As a true aquarist myself, I love that you have freshwater as well. Makes me want to start up another freshwater after not having one for years. I enjoy the reef therapy sessions as well. I appreciate the effort and content.
Just Awesome, Jake & Co! Your knowledge, and work in the world reefing community, are invaluable. (Last night you helped me have a LED understanding, breakthrough. Your video explaining each channel is excellent. I highly suggest it. The follow up piece on programming the photo period, in the ReefStock At Home segment, really wrapped it all up for me.) THANK YOU, Sir!
Loving part 2! so much info in here gotta get a couple views in. That raja going out and down onto the glass in the main display is amazing... Definitely a goal of mine ! so sweet
I love Trimma gobies. Great video! I love everything about this channel! Jake I can’t believe you have Merulina!! So awesome, that’s the one coral I had to have in my tank. Mine is merulina ampliata, which is a branching type. Merulina is another great reef building coral. Picked mine up from LiveAquaria, they were the only ones I could find that sold it. Such a underrated, beautiful coral! Your hydnophora is amazing too!
Love seeing the freshwater finally, As someone who has discus an altums as well, so nice seeing them an someone else who keeps them in high flow planted tanks.
Great tour! T. reniformis, what a great old school coral. Also loved the heronensis. I think it’s time to put some halides over that new tank when it’s up and running. Thanks for using the scientific names, it’s really something ever reefer should attempt to learn and it makes it so much easier to solve issues when we know what coral you’re referring to. Also loved the Merulina ampliata, man it always takes me back to 90’s reefing.
Does anyone else notice Mark is asking all these questions and making all these statements but Jake is just so excited to keep getting back to describing his corals lol
Was completely hooked for the full 2 hrs. Great job, but my goodness, let Mark talk. He got cut off or his comments completely ignored throughout the entire video. I get you had schedule and plan but damn. Nonetheless, great content.
all of these fantastic meat corals going un-spotlighted. You'll have to do a Cynarina/Indophyllia dominant sand flat tank some time, I'm hoping to attempt breeding these corals as a college entrance project, and any data there is to collect would be fantastic to see.
Awesome tour Jake you have so much knowledge about corals as cool as the scientific names are please also refer to them with there street names so that we can ask our lfs if the can order them. Anyways keep on with your awesome work and more videos please they are so inspiring
I love the mangrove cube too. I’m building my 60g cube very similar….appreciate the inspiration and will send some pics in 6 months for any recommends or feedback. Thanks fellas.
Are you dosing BioTech Aqua Power? I thought you said you were dosing Aqua Power and this is all I could find. Amazing tanks! I want to see them in person.
If im correct, there was in all tanks at least one molly. Are they there as utility fish or another reason? I just got myself a black molly to deal with a little gha in my 170 rsr as i cant get any of the bigger algae eating fish for that size tank. Hope it will work.🤞
Love reef therapy! I watched both videos, I saw a lot of clams, but I couldn’t see thé diabolo (devil) clam or I miss it. Would be great if you make a separate video clams only👍
I don't have that many tanks at that scale but I do learn many of the same things spoken about with same corals in different tanks, lighting and flow even though water chemistry is all shared in my 6 tank 500g system. it allows alot of flexibility to learn and experiment on what actually works.
Jake Great Video TY for making it . Great Job on all your Tanks . Ques. x2. All your tanks are Bare bottom _ Pros and Cons of that set up ? Should all us Reefers go to Bare Bottoms ?
Looks great Jake. Where’s the devil 😈 clam?? I also have a pair of wild caught Percula’s and they are stunning without and of the captive bred deformed shape. Just laid their second batch of eggs too :)
I have a buddy that states inequivalently that any person in the know would run a calcium reactor for sps to get 2x the growth rate vs just dosing. Is there any particular reason why you chose to have dosing systems on both your sps peninsula tanks as opposed to running calcium reactors for them?
I cant watch an hour long video like this Jake. I think edit it up to single tank tours and it would be much more digestible (also keep these up of course. Just more content and possible views for you!)
The "torch but not a torch" couldn't be E. paraglabrescens, could it? Hard to find accurate pictures of those because people confuse the para as describing the same difference as between ancora and paraancora, when it doesnt
