Wow if I could give this 50 thumbs up I would! Not only original content on real life situations when chopping up a perfectly new aquarium but also great advise on the specific decisions that will effect everything for years to come. Seriously amazing content and great reminders for consideration to anyone who hasn't had this experience yet.
Looks great, just a note the bulk heads your using have raise edges. For grip, when you go to tighten it it will not smash the gasket. The raised edges will bottom out on the pvc tank bottom
Good eye and thanks for looking out, but the bulkhead actually does fit in the hole with those ridges, just barely, but it's going to smash that bulkhead good and tight
Man that must have been noisy in that tank with the router. Great idea putting an acrylic bottom on the tank so that things like this can be done. Great video Jake, can't wait for the plumbing.
I have a challenge for you: find a master freshwater aquascaper and collaborate with him on the aquascape for that tank. The aquascaping of reef tanks is the most underdeveloped part of the hobby, and it would help to bring it more to centre stage.
Alternatively..There’s also “double arbors” available that can be used. This allows you to have a 1” holesaw as inner guide and the 1-78” dia as the one that cuts.
You killed it! I can't wait to see what you do with this monster tank 🤔 I'm trying to figure out these holes on the bottom how it will work through the substrate? I'll be seeing it soon I guess. Thanks Jake! 👍🌿🍃🌿
What if you have or develop a leak before the valve? Wouldn't it make more sense to hard plumb that instead of threads, when you'd have to drain the tank to mess with them?
thats what i thought. top part of the bulkhead can be threaded because if that leaks it would go into a closed system. bottom part of the bulkhead if thats threaded, better hope it never drips, id glue that part in for sure.
Hopefully he treats this as a working build series and we don't just get periodic updates on what he's done over the last few weeks. I want to watch every step of how you build a tank this large
@@lunaticrider209 ive tried with a gurgle buster and its still a loud sound on the drain us so loud. I didnt put a valve is that the only way? Ive tried slowing the flow since i have a dc pump but what ends up happening is the U tube starts catching air bubbles again.
Wouldn't be much of a video if I simply installed MP60s now would it? No the real reason is I want to do something different, and the closed loops will create a different kind of forceful flow, and will be invisible
He protect...
He attack ..
Better yet he blesses us with videos back to back !!! 🤙

3 videos in one week .... Christmas came early. Thanks for always putting out awesome content!

That's how I saw it too. The inlay that was carved actually works against the seal quality.

Can't wait to see this one running. You're good at drilling holes Jake 😉 haha
Nice brother you studio has came a long way, can’t be anymore proud my man! I have to come by and visit next reefstock 🐡
So satisfying when things go to plan 👍
Now this is what I’m talking about!!! Going to be epic!!!
A cool trick for drilling a bigger hole is to double up on hole bits, put a bit that fits the existing hole inside the bigger/ desired hole size bit
clever! i like it

Can’t wait to see this build

Looked like a professional 👌🏻
thank you show is take care.
This is going to be fun!
Jake !!! Amazing job brother!!💯👌🤗
BRAVO Mr BRICOLAGE !!! 💪💪💪
Can't wait to see the the washing machine start 👍
Let’s inspect that hole !!

I know I'm late to this party, but you are brave. 🙂
We miss you Jake 😢

brings me back to the old days when you would look under a stand and see someone using gutter or something to divert the leak back into their sump.
Small victories are sometimes the best 👍
When you finally keep that coral that has been giving you fits sucessfully for over a year with growth type feeling...
🔥👊👍
The bottom is PVC and not glass? First time i have seen that setup
Finally!
Jake, off topic question here.
What’s the difference between weeping willow and long polyps toadstool?
Thanks in advance.

Wait, so the bottom of the tank is a big piece of PVC? Not glass? Is the side glass?

I think that's the plan for the 400 Hardline Reef, a complete build series!
What type of fish in the fish only tank I suggest a porcupine puffer my favorite
Any idea when the red Sea 900xl is coming out?
All I know is what we shared in the article
Hey Jake is this supposed to be a planted aquarium or a reef tank?
probably goldfish ;-)
Wow! That’s a really nice tank! What is the size of it?
400 gallons, 96 x 30 x 30 inches
Man i was scared to drill my tank and ended up doing a HOB overflow box and now regret it with how loud it is.
You can probably still fine tune the gurgling using a durso mod, stockman pipe, and adjusting the flowrate going to the tank
Simple fix slow the flow or speed it up. I have one and is quite as can be.

“That’s such a perfect hole” - Jake
Love it looks good to me no making fun here 😛
So there is no glass bottom
fish dont get sucked in the holes ?
they'll be well covered with prefilters, stay tuned
Is the studio a business yet?

@@ReefBuildersVideo That's a no
Love the videos man just all we ask is please move the mic we hear each breath you take and swallows no harsh feelings just please maybe?
Always tweaking the audio
This video looks so dark! :-(
All that bc you don’t want to buy a couple mp60s?
No B/C drilling holes is an act of imposing you will upon nature; showing you dominance over nature.
Wouldn't be much of a video if I simply installed MP60s now would it? No the real reason is I want to do something different, and the closed loops will create a different kind of forceful flow, and will be invisible
Holes much
Hire a new camera man. Way underexposed
So much innuendo. Boring video though :p
