I’m Aquascaping a NEW Red Sea Reefer G2+ / Reefmat & Reefer 600 Skimmer

- In Part 2 of my new Red Sea Reefer G2+ build, I finish the stand, install the Reefmat, Reefer 600 skimmer & build out the aquascape. I decided not to do an NSA aquascape this time around.

Considering the company used Yellow, I'm surprised those rocks weren't completely powdered by the time it got to the Hub. You'd be shocked at the things I saw going on when I worked there.
If you take some shallow water bottle caps and fill them slightly with a little bit of silicone, let them dry. You can then pop them out and put them on the bottom of your aquascape with a little bit of wet silicone to secure them in place to prevent slippage on your aquascape. Happy reefing
Ok! This is a good idea! A little less permanent and you don't have to hide it as much. Thanks! ~Remy
“Just a fun guy to be around, ya know.”
Instant classic.
Lol! Thanks for watching! ~Remy
🎉🎉🎉
Scape looks great. I wish I did this. I went with the scape that looks beautiful but didn’t take into account coral growth and placement. I bought into the nsa aqua scape and can’t help feel that my fish would want more caves like yours has
I can't take full credit - had some great minds point me down the right road. I'm happy I went this route too. I imagine smaller fish hanging in those nooks and crannies while the tang gang patrols the column! Thanks for the kind words!! ~Remy
NO HAT REMY!?!?!
It happens from time to time...lol. Still got a head of hair...grey...but it's there. ~Remy
Aquascaping is so fun. I like the first version of the scape, But your right eventually the coral will become the structure and the focus.
I think the first version was just a bit too much. This seems minimal and leaves more room for the coral. Thanks for watching! ~Remy
I think it looks fine but I don't know I would call it a NSA however the one for the 4' tank is definitely a NSA scape
Holy shit i never thought id see the day remy was hatlessssss 😮😮😮😮
There he is! ~Remy
@@ReefBuildersVideo hat or no hat we love you remy ☺️
I have just subscribed to this channel, now Iwill watching everything👍🏼🐟🐠
Lol that clip of Remy after the wisdom teeth extraction 😂 priceless
There's more...that's the crazy part. ~Remy
Hey that rockscape looks like something I would come up with. 🎉🎉🎉
I like what you did here. It's gonna look good with corals growing out.
Thank you! Lots of room for coral growth. ~Remy
the fumes from the glue/sand was A+++++++.😵💫
RIGHT!? If using the gluemasters stuff..definitely go outside. ~Remy
Love the final product! Also I burst out in laughter at the end. 😂😂
There's 2 more parts to that video..🤦♂️ ~Remy
Didn't realize Remi had moved to Reef Builders! Guess this is the end of Bahama Llama again, but glad to see more Remi content!
Right!? You'll be happy to know my style hasn't changed too much. The basement is finally transforming though! ~Remy
Remy, you could work on the Today Show. I'd watch.
But just as "the fun guy." I don't want any of the political crap. lol. ~Remy
Nice video remy, I agree that the aquascape takes the longest because you want it to look good but dont have an idea where corals will land. I learned from my nano I was never really happy with the scape and that caused me to change it around a bunch. I ended up taking about a third of the rock out because corals filled up so quick so I like your approach playing for the long game as long as its a solid scape it saves a lot of time!
Check out Jason's tanks (@unorthodoxreef) on IG. He started with 3 bommies and it looked so bare. Now it's totally filled and looks amazing. Trust me, I wanted to place more rock but we'll see how this initial scape goes! Thanks for watching! ~Remy
I like the way you placed the rocks!
Thanks! I'm happy with the final scape. There's actually a bunch of spots for fish to hide! ~Remy
@@ReefBuildersVideo Yup, those hiding places are the most important thing when placing the rocks! Get some Acros there already, man and grow some for me, please!
Looks good Remi! I agree with in the end, the corals will cover what the rock looks like and will not matter. I think the surface area you create to be able to maximize the places to put coral on. I think the cool aquascapes has more place in a FOWLR system OR maybe in the tanks where people don't let the corals grow too big and can always see the scape. Anyways... keep up the great work.
Oh.. and that shot after your surgery was hilarious. I don't care what anyone says, you look like a fun guy to be around with on the today show. lmao
Exactly. That 4ft tank with the NSA scape is still up for debate on livestock but I'd love to do something different.
Still waiting on my call from the Today Show...LOL! ~Remy
The rock work looks great!
Thanks Tyler! Still some tweaks to make but we're getting there. Hydro testing currently. ~Remy
Digging the proportions and how the rockscape "sweeps" to the right. Nice naturalistic look - I might try something similar since this NSA scape is getting a bit old and not so nice for fish habitats
Thanks! I thought I might get some criticism on how it looks "too deliberate." Thanks for watching! ~Remy
I’m running into the same thing right now with my NSA and fish. You throw a couple tangs in there and the line of site between them is always open. It’d be fine if I had a bunch of smaller fish but it’s 100g and I need my tangs.
I’m very interested in how you’ve done your holding tub
Is there a video on that?
I’m going to need to do something similar when I upgrade because I want to save corals but not aquascape
Perfect timing video series as I’ll be getting a 625 in the next couple of months. Would love your opinion as to getting the 500 reefmat and the 300 skimmer instead of the 1200 and 600 as I plan on having a refugium as well for a mixed reef rather than your plan for sps dominant. Keep up the good work!
What kind of livestock? Honestly, you could probably get the smaller skimmer but I'd definitely stick with the larger Reefmat if you can swing it. I think it will be worth its weight in gold down the road. ~Remy
Great video!
Thanks! ~Remy
I really do like the scape but I honestly think if you move the right structure maybe 3” closer to the left it will look perfect.
Yeah, they are a little off in the video. That will be corrected after I leak test. Structures are now outside the tank again for some finishing touches. ~Remy
@@ReefBuildersVideo looking forward to seeing some life in there!
Finally :D
Thanks for bearing with me - it's been one heck of a month! ~Remy
I like your opening music, is it new? Also, did the pavona from the frag swap survive -- is it a potato chip coral? Maybe make it into this setup? Much underappreciated corals.
The opening music will switch for every video. I like some variation there. Pavona still good and WILL make it to the new tank! Thanks for watching! ~Remy
Sorry for dumb question but when you clean the tank / water change dont you need to move the rocks around?
There are no dumb questions, alllll good! I always try to do my best not to disturb the rock-work if I can help it. There are times where I have removed rock to brush algae off in a bucket but with these larger structures that becomes a chore. I’ll rely on the lawnmowers - tangs, rabbit fish…etc ~Remy
Love the aquascape! What are you planning to stock the tank with in terms of fish? Also are you thinking more of an SPS, LPS or mixed reef?
Also WHY did you use the liferock?!?! Great aquascape, though the fake coraline color is kinda ugly in my opinion. Though thats just me, good luck with the tank!
Thank you! Fish list is tang heavy right now...would love a marine betta, white tail kole tang - still need to build out the fish list. I'm just excited to grab some larger fish! I don't mind the purple look...I do like it better than stark white marco rock but it will all change over time anyway. Thanks for watching! ~Remy
Hi remi I have been a long time watcher of your channel. But I don’t remember you being part of reef builders. ???
Thank you! Yes, I am on the Reef Builders team now. I've been doing video stuff since April-ish. ~Remy
@@ReefBuildersVideo ok makes sense thanks I liked you before as you were a great budget reefer and had some really cool ideas
Still very much a budget reefer! We'll get to some fun builds in the future. That 4ft tank is gonna be great! @@billray7703
What are your AI Prime 16 Settings ?
Hard to convey over comments - hit us up on IG! ~Remy
I wish I didn’t do nsa. My fish are stressed. Especially my tangs.
That seems to be what most people say. We'll see how it goes on the 4ft built. Might have to add some additional hidey holes. ~Remy
@@ReefBuildersVideo I’m workin on a new rock scape, all my fish do is fight and hide. Any tips on adding new rock to an existing aquarium? Especially a entire new rock scape?
You look so different without a hat on
More distinguished? Or like a bum? lol. ~Remy
yes@@ReefBuildersVideo
LOL @@n1njasause
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!! ~Remy
Shit
Smart Red sea but not smarter than us 20+ yr reefing veterans...you still haven't taken ownace of the fact that ur tanks are falling apart and flooding reefers houses. I will personally never own a redsea tank.
Were you affected? ~Remy
@@ReefBuildersVideo two of my personal friends were. What are you or redsea gonna do about it?
Unfortunately, I don't think RB can do anything about it - however, I know Red Sea had been working with those who were having issues. I hope they reached out. @@reeferjay23
