So sad about him passing, such a great human being. He is missed
Like a lot of reefers, I started with fresh and still feel passionate about it. If possible I'd love a video dedicated to your freshwater stuff.
Maybe! Just maybe 🤔
@@ReefBuildersVideo YES PLEASE ! I'd also like to see your Freshwater Stuff😇🙏🏽
editing and music choice is amazing on this one jake. awesome job!
Thank you 💙
so when are you gonna start selling this immortal tort I've heard so much about online?
Those palythao, the Green purple ones, I have seen them in my LFS lots of times
Yay I’ve been waiting for this video!
Hi jake, great selection on the new corals. I'm just wondering what your routine maintenance is on those coral trays, everything looks like it's doing great.
I think I have one of those lobophyllia corymbosa in my tank, granted not some cool pink/red version like you, mine seems a bit "plain" with a brown rim and orange center but got that from a tank teardown and it was all sorts of beat up with aiptasia growing on the side, bubble algae up the wazzoo the amount of surgery I had to do to get to something that I was willing to put in my tank was kind of scary. But I have a few individual polyps of it now so it's all good and it seems to be very happy in a lower light environment.
Watching this makes me want to setup another reef tank. But I promised my wife I'd wait till we bought our next house. I don't know how I'm going to last another year without a reef tank.
Jake - I live in Golden and am an avid RB follower. Would love to come by the lab sometime if you're willing to host!
I want to see those Zebra Plecos! I used to keep them in my past life when i was doing wild Discus. Sad story, i lost my whole breeding group of 15 adults from a faulty Eheim cannister filter one day... I was crushed and couldnt even throw them away, so i stuck them in my freezer and kept them for over a year before i could throw them out. Much to my then wifes delight, haha
$2000 DOLLARS If I had your money, i would burn mine.......lol
Inflation is incredible. Today its 15,000 at two stores. I'm exaggerating, but only a bit.
That is beautiful!!
Love the reddish stag and the westside-rainbow looking animal (tort? I'm godawful at identifying acropora lol), it's a shame all the different color morphs are basically trapped in hobby tanks around the country instead of showing up in stores and farms.
Those orange zoanthids are commonly called orange oxides.
Hey Jake what light setting are you using for your tank with maxspect 200
This guy looks like Pablo Escobar with that manly mustache
Jake, you gotta show the zebra pleco tank when you get a chance
I'll do my best
Jake bro. Your such a trend follower. You had the man bun, now a stash. I get your in LA but bro.
Jake, where are sourcing those hexagonal thick tiles
hardware stores
Jake. Jake. How did you mention anemone system and not even have close up of anything in the system, that is torture😿
Do you have a photo of a reds 525xl with coral and fish in it? Thank you so much!
How about some merch for women? We don’t love unisex/men’s t-shirts
“I mustache you a question” lol jk. Looks good man!
Out of all the topics this from reef therapy and reef builders RUclips channel, the LFS edition really hits home cause it was through LFS where me and my dad really connected growing up. We never had a close relationship but every weekend this was the one thing where we spent quality time with each other.
Anyways on my LFS crawl here in San Diego, I scored a Holy grail micromussa mini colony for $80 🎤💧
Thanks for sharing your story, I feel where you're coming from because my mother and I hit up all the stores in new areas when we traveled on road trips.
Same xo
Lol you have at least 15 stores to shop and where i live we are lucky to have 3 😢.
Love this it really brings me back to reefing earth and start appreciating corals for there beauty not the price since then I’ve been so much happier with my reefing journey
Some beautiful corals! What a fun couple days that must have been. I also keep a small planted freshwater tank that I love. Thanks for sharing!
do you keep peppermints in most tanks? just for aiptasia control?
I just love videos when you talk about the corals and show them in these shallow tanks :D Make more of videos like this!
Can you want to do a fish room tour or a tour of the freshwater tanks you have
you mean like this? ruclips.net/video/ZlhU8ePEjXg/видео.html
What fish is that in the tank around 16:51? It reminds me a bit of a Fiji Devil.
What are your target nutrient levels to have such great coloration? seems coral coloration is very hard to dial in for me
20ppm nitrate
The stash bro 😎 Great video as usual 🙌🏽
That goniastrea screams "christmas" in my opinion
Those aquariums are starting to look fantastic those corals look healthy especially that big thick blue one you're the man you're the man
These prices are not the same at my LFS 😅 Miami is pricey
Awesome purchases dude! So exciting to go on a spending spree every once in a while
Some nice oddballs you scored. And the staghorns are mesmorizing (as always...)
Thanks Leo, I've definitely been dialing in the vitality of my SPS corals lately
Wow really wish I had those prices in wisconsin
I guess there is no winter in Colorado? 🤪
Or do you wearing T-shirt and Bermuda shorts at winter?
I mean, this is a present video. I am confused 🤔
The weather is so mild right now. Snow coming after the new year. Our winter peaks in March.
man... that mustard xD
great Vid :)
Would you sell me some of those Red or orange mushrooms?
Love the video, and the mustache!
What frag tiles do you use?
Where did you get the triceratops skull from?
some random retail store pickup many years ago I don't remember where, but pretty sure you could find similar ones on Amazon
Are you located in Colorado?
What kind of light is that over the case aquarium ? With all the lps and wall scape
GNC Bluray Pro
Where can i get those posters? 🤣
hi, why don't you have an aussie gold torch ?
We have lots!
I love Biggs Laggon they're awesome
If you're ever in Loveland I would love to meet you 😊 I have a redsea and a pico reef ❤
nice to see professional admit to what everyone does. Go to the fish shop for one thing come out with 3 things not on your list.
I like to think we are professionals 😄
Nice pick up of different Corals. You picked up some gems. Interesting to see your zebra plecos at a later time. Nice job James’s
When you get a Copperband can you explain your process of picking it out, quarantine/acclamation, and just how you keep him alive, and eating. I recently failed at my first attempt of keeping one. It died after a week in my 29G quarantine I was feeding live brine shrimp, Any help for the next attempt would be much appreciated!!
Sadly we've lost our LFS that deal with saltwater. Been trying to find some close by but the closest found so far is 3.5 hours, approximately 175 miles.
Hey Jake Adams nice channel really love what you do in the saltwater hobby. I’m a beginner in the reefing hobby and at the moment my tank is really struggling I am not good at keep corals so far lol I would really like to see if u would be willing to let me pay you for an over the phone/FaceTime consultation. Being that you are so far away from where I live. I need help with coral placement and also getting my parameters and lighting right suggestions on lighting schedules and flow I jus really need an experts help and coaching on some of the corals I have and maybe what you think I should be dosing and feeding so that my corals can really grow and thrive. I watch your channel all the time but I still need that push so lmk if we can arrange something like that I would really appreciate it thanks.
Im really digging, and now want some of that Pavona Cactus!
What’s the discount code on the merch? Don’t see it.
Independent
Betting you got the Zebra Pleco's from About Fish Inc/ Shermin Tank?? The one you have is a character (coming out of hiding when you have guests;) Quite the selection you ended-up with shopping locally;) And like a great artist, you see the potential of each coral to become "happy" and to become part of a masterpiece;) And all the Latin names memorized, wow.. (aka Dr Bob Ross of the coral world;) BTW, I have noticeable new growth on several corals you traded me for 😀, TY!! And for all you and your wife do for this hobby and all the critters!
Thanks, Sparky! Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Is there a book or website to learn more about corals?
Our website! www.reefbuilders.com
Odd question but where do you get that glow rod or those long rods to help move stuff around without actually putting your whole hand in the tank
😆😀😎
RIP Jake ,
I was distracted by the police officer talking about awesome corals
he could open up his own store with the amount of corals he has in that place................. he does know how to grow them not a bad one there.........
Dude, where are you getting your music from?
I picked up a baby Grade-A DaVinci clownfish for $48 to replace my female clown that managed to squeeze out of the tank and onto the floor when I wasn’t home. Surprisingly there hasn’t been any aggression between the clownfish since adding him, fingers crossed!
🤞
I wanna see the zebra plecos!
ruclips.net/video/9AKFZH6qwKA/видео.html
G'day from Australia! I picked up what you call an Eunecia (i hope I spelled it correctly) coral a few weeks ago. It was sold as a photosynthetic gorgonian. Can you point me in the right direction where I can read up more about it?
nothing I can point to specifically but they love flow, love light, and really appreciate large meaty food particles
Question do you sell or trade corals?? Awesome videos like always!
The lord frag you got also looks like a christmas coral!
The one at the lps tank
Always love seeing you highlight less popular species of coral! I’ve got a few different species of turbinaria in my tank and seeing the differences in form between them is one of my favorite parts of the whole aquarium
This guy be in the radio 📻 and I will still see the colors and details 😆
Wow mustache
Don’t get used to it 🪒
Are you selling the Reef Builders white board sticker at the start of the video? Would love to slap one of those on my water mixing station. ;)
We hand them out as much as we can, will try to think of some easy way for fans to cop them for free
Nice to hear your into freshwater too. I like both. I must admit I used to really dislike your videos. But I kept watching and am now a big fan. Really love Reef Therapy and look forward to every episode.
we're having fun, glad to hear something changed your mind
Wow that’s awesome now you have enough coral to finish the 400 closed loop planet aquarium. That everyone has been waiting over 2 yrs for
yes that's the definitely on the short term to-do list
Hey Burt Reynolds 😃, did you get any emeralds and what do you think is the main reason they die within 6 months!!! Shell disease Jake?
short lifespan on emeralds or other crabs is likely due to starvation or some kind of toxic metal buildup
Evan and Jake have almost the same voice lol 😂 . Hey Jake is this a part time job or a full time job because I know maintenance on all those tanks is a lot of work
Full time for both of us!
Hey, awesome coral pickups. I noticed you are running air bubbles in multiple tanks. Is there a reason behind it? Benefits?
The new system used to be the QT and long term conditioning system so I just kept air in them for extra aeration during periods of treatment, especially antibiotic
Great video guys really enjoyed that 👍
I think the first zoas are orange oxides. Looks very similar to a couple frags of it I have.
I checked my reference poster and they appear to be pink diamond zoanthids
Would love to see a close up of the anemone system.
Lol you guys really need to ask me before buying toadstools, would have given you a frag of the neon green toadstool
💚💚💚
Where do you get the hexagonal frag disc’s?
hardware stores
Would love to see you guys tackle a mushroom only tank. Don’t see mushrooms in the studio
There's one under development
I appreciated your tip last week. I went to my local LFS, which had 20% off.
I got a small haul: a true Platygyra, a Euphyllia paraancora, a Blasomussa wellsi, a Ricordea florida, and an Atillogorgia.
It was a blast. And a great tip, thank you.
Sweet talking me with all those grown up coral names
@@ReefBuildersVideo I agree it's how we should be discussing them.
Though I am biased and trained in botanical names. So, Euphyllia paraancora 'Australian Gold' is how I really want to write it :)
Jake - I am a freshwater keeper and a salt water keeper. I'd really appreciate some fresh water videos from you. In fact, do you have the real-estate in the studio to do a bank of fresh water tanks. perhaps the area across from your salt water flats? You could really do a great service to all the areas of the fish and tank keeping hobby this way - why limit yourself?
I have four FW displays and a new one on the way but since I 'work' so much at SW I reserve the FW tanks as purely my hobby to simply enjoy. But I will be doing some videos on the new FW display which will feature lots of SW tricks and techniques
@@ReefBuildersVideo This is good news. It's a part of the hobby that needs you!
Cool vidéo Merci Jack j’ai cru apercevoir sur le premier bac et un éclairage GNC ??? Merci pour ton super travail 👍♥️👍😘
sansouci
Sweet t-shirt, I need one of those!
Jake can you point me in a Direction towards a reliable source for a Csb? I've saved up so long to get one and don't want to get something it's not.
Elite Reef and Aquatic Art here in Denver regularly have the real deal
@@ReefBuildersVideo thank you
What light and flow for the Moseleya?
medium and medium
Love your videos. What glue do you use to attach frags to plugs?
just super glue gel in a small tube
Man how come Denver area has so many reef stores?! Lucky you guys, here in Canada (Ottawa) we have only a few, and they are not that great.
and there's like five others that we didn't get to!
I’m packing my bags and moving to Denver just for the coral stores.
Nice that there's someone else in the states with a GNC Blueray light
Yeah I hate the poor excuse for control of it, but the hardware is second to none.
Are those AcroOptics lights at the end?
ruclips.net/video/KAN668SDdgw/видео.html
👍🏾
That red sea sps tank at the end is kicking.
Yeah it's really starting to knock our socks off too
Are you selling any frags from your collection?
no sir
@@ReefBuildersVideo Aw man at I know I'll be get clean frags.
