The Best Ways to use Controllable Pumps 

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.

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. 😢

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

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

Thanks. How about a updated tank tour?

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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%

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

Great info!

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

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

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

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

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.

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?

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

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

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

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.

Definitely pump selection

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

This is the CADE? Looks like 👍

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

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..

What pump you recommend for a nano fluval evo 13.5 UPGRADE

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.

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

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

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

what are your setting on the illumagic minis

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

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

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!

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

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.

What’s up with that metal clamp Jake?

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.

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

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