I'm not perfect. Many of you guys are totally right - I DO sound like a prick in this video - it's a combination of HOW I asked my questions, and how I EDITED the video. I am an aquarist first and 'video producer' a distant second. I've taken your comments to heart and believe that my interviewing style has dramatically changed. It's been a year since i made this video and I've learned from my mistakes. So give me a break on this one, and check out some of the other fine tanks I've featured since.
It's a bit funny hearing this guy tell Scott what he needs to do for his tank, yet is there to show off such an amazing tank. Scott obviously knows what he's doing....
I don't understand why your putting the guy down on what he's doing with his tanks. look soo good and he's had them for such a long time. The water changing comment. The side tank comment. Etc. He's tank looks soo good and he's been doing it so long. If it works for him I don't see why your making comments about it. Also there's not just one way of doing things.
Please visit the link in the pinned post for badly needed context from Scott himself.
One of the great things about reefing is that there are many ways to do it. I do agree with many of your comments on things that he "should change," but that's his way of doing it. I would understand just suggesting tips, but just telling a hobbyist who pours his heart and soul into something that he is wrong for something is just rude. There are better ways of getting your point across.
Reefers get together to observe, discuss and debate, that's how we come to common conclusion about best practices for best applications. Trust me Scott and I were doing this off camera quite a bit, so don't take it the wrong way.
Alright thanks for the reply. I NEVER do any negative comments so I really debated on this one. I'm sure your right though. It probably just came off differently than the way it really was. Anyway, keep up the videos!
I think Scott just needs to keep doing what he's doing with that beautiful tank. We aren't there so who are we to say he needs more dosing or no sand in his QT? Obviously he's got it down!! Scott your tank is STUNNING
If his methods are working don't knock it. The simpler the better.
first time watching your videos. great work capturing the beauty of this tank. not to be a jerk or cause any trouble but geez if I was the owner of that tank I would have been offended with all the criticism. not everyone is into name brand corals or man made clown fish. this tank is amazing and so healthy. you kinda sounded like a lot of the snobby people on reefcentral... again, I am sorry I may be wrong but that's just how I felt. I watched the video twice. once with the volume off just to enjoy the tank. I thank you for showing this tank off and props to your amazing camera work. to the owner of the tank. your tank is freaking amazing!!!!! keep up the good work. keep that sand in your quarantine tank also if It works for you it works for you.
I personally approved this comment because I wanted to explain that I was at Scott's house for FOUR HOURS. There was a lot of reef talk off-camera and I think the way I edited the video definitely made me seem like I just showed up and started telling him what to do. It's harder than you think to shoot the video, operate the equipment, and narrate what's going on (after a few beers) but trust me, we're on the same page in appreciation for what's unique about scott's reef tank - especially the group of wild type clownfish ;-)
you really should be more careful. it's not hard to edit...just don't put in what looks wrong. also, don't edit if you're drunk, just a few tips. I've been editing professionally for 20 years, however, it could be only 20 days and i still wouldn't put certain things in. this is constructive.
Thanks for the feedback - I'm a hardcore reefer first and learning videographer second, but I'm trying
Just as many have said, the constant bashing of the way he does things isnt cool.
i say he keeps doing what he is doing, he is obviously doing things right!
Sorry if I missed something, but is this a criticism video? Or is it just kinda the style to break down the weaknesses of the tank? Just seemed like there is a lot of that. Kinda surprised me because this is obviously someone who is a master reef builder. He clearly knows how to make a masterpiece and maintain it.
No you and many of the commenters are right - I was there for hours and after several beers, the shop talk ABOUT the reef tank came across somewhat critical, although that was not my intention. I didn't mean to come across that way, obviously wouldn't have spent so much time producing this video for you guys if I didn't like the tank. I'll be more mindful about how I interview reefers in future videos.
I dunno, I actually liked that they were debating the pluses and minuses. What's the point of going in and just going, oh look, lovely tanks, cheers bye. They obviously know each other so it's great having some back and forth between them. There's also obvious mutual respect and both are masters of the hobby with differences to be able to discuss. I actually loved this video because you can see there are so many different opinions on things and it makes it more real.
Reef Builders sorry, I don't mean to be critical myself. I just recently got back into the hobby and found your channel, which I love and is one of the best on YT imo. Now I feel like I came across more critical than I intended to lol I can definitely say I'd rather see videos where I can learn a thing or two while seeing a gorgeous tank. I think hearing some pros/cons to a system, ideas etc. is better than a simple fluff piece. Anyways great work, thank you for the awesome content!
It's called talking shop and sharing notes about reefing, that's what makes it a hobby - when you visit people's reef tanks, if you do, do you just ooh and aah or do you ask people why they are doing certain things certain ways? I find it funny that you are focusing on the criticism as all the videos I make are 90% praise and pointing out what people are doing right! Besides, when's the last time you saw an AquaC on somebody's reef?
Reef Builders Why they are doing certain things or telling them what they need to do with their tanks?
there is a vast difference between asking a question and telling a person what they should do.
Leave Scott alone.. lol. If it ain't broke don't fix it. . great vid
Big beautiful Corals.Everything is very healthy.I think his reef aquarium is a old school Beauty.Fish colors are vivid.Nice job.
Great tank but you were insulting him throughout the video
Please visit the link in the pinned post for badly needed context from Scott himself.
It was so awesome having Jake over to check out my tank. The video is so good.
Wow Scott, you deserve this.
MileHighReefers Congrats Scott!!! 😁
Tank is looking great as always!
this is probably my favorite reefbuilder episode in spite of the odd delivery of suggestions. you do a great job jake but lighten up a bit buddy :)
Cool video but man, who likes to be criticised from every angle? You like his tank and sump room but would change everything about it. Haha, imagine if someone did you the same way and on video.
tank tours cool ,bashing set ups when they have a bad ass display tank not cool

I love how more people are taking Scott's side on all the issues! I love his RUclips Channel!
Great looking tank. Love the filtration. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
If the sand works for him why are you telling him no no no
Dominick Brown he talks to everyone like that. Kinda annoying tbh.
one of the best mixed reef tanks on youtube...Thanks Jake for bringing this to us...Scott respect to you bro...
awesome tank. and thank you for putting in the time to do this.
Jake his QT tank is a definate yes. It's a QT for monitoring not a Hospital Tank for treatment. I have one of each, stacked. I will say he should have it in a seperate room to prevent potential transfer.
Scott. spectacular tank. Very natural, love the variety the layering and your overall setup. Your tank makes me feel like a kid again swimming with the fish and through the reefs. Keep it going man.
Thanks for showing off this amazing reef.
It's clear after seeing this video that Scott has some skills. Great looking tank!
Stunning, Beautiful Reef!!!!! AMAZING! This is my Dream Reef...
Wow I follow reef builders and mile high reffers I live in the UK and don't see videos like this coming out of the UK I'm 6 years into the hobby and have a lovely mixed reef tank but hopefully one day I will be ready to give the UK marine average hobbyist advives on how to get a nice reef tank but I will continue to watch your guys videos till that day much love for your efforts
I love Scott's channel, I see no issue with sand in the quarantine.
been subbed to Scott for several years and this is the best i ever saw his tank look :)
Mad props to the owner of this tank. Beautiful.
Love that the results speak for themselves! And the methods that got Scott to that point. :)
Love the respectful debates going on between you guys in this video
I loved the tank. Even tho I liked the videos without the filter, man does his tank look awesome. What works for one person may not work for others. ain't broke don't fix it. Thank you sir again for a wonderful video
Good stuff Scott is one of my original resoures for getting back into the hobby. I really love his channel and the info. i have gleaned from him is invaluable. Great channel to feature.
Seems like someone is Jealous of your skills Scott...keep it up!
I follow this guy as well, you guys are in my top 5 reef tank ch
Great set up and awesome tank
Great tank really enjoyed it.
Wow!! Beautiful tank!!
Have a jbj 30 galllon nano tank. And have always wanted a sump/refugium. But, never had the chance or opportunity. Me and my gf, has started this project. Hopefully it’ll be a marvelous reef tank as yours.
beautiful healthy tank with large corals. The tank is doing excellent and I can agree with Jake about slanging some montipora to update the tank with some killer new coral since it's doing so well. Quarantine tank shouldn't have sand specially if medicating but oh well that reef is sick
Nice! The fact that you spent effort and $ on your backup pump is great!
thanks of the vid Jake, and Scott the tank is looking great as always.
The shots you took in the 12k lighting or whatever looks amazing! It's awesome seeing the true colors of the corals. Amazing tank and video
You have your tank dialed in well Scott. Nice to have Jake take the drive to your place. looking great
Great tank you showed it well ,Good Job
awsum tank mate its a credit to you big thumbs up from Australia
It's awesome to see you guys collaborate I follow both of you guys and both have great content and this by far was one of my favorite videos thanks and coming from a fellow RUclipsr keep doing a great job guys
Am a plumber for quite a few years and I often seen videos of people using DWV fittings ( drain parts to be exact ) on the pressure side of their beautiful tanks. I strongly recommend to use the proper fittings to prevent accidents specially on wood floors or carpet areas. Drain fittings are made to drain by gravity and without pressure, that's when pressure fittings come handy when we use returns pumps or circulation pumps they need to be made for this.
Is a beautiful tank and a beautiful sump set up , is good to have a basement, here in Miami I wish I have one.
Is a tip as a plumber and a Fan of Reefing
Just keep doing whats been working for you. This hobby is 90% anecdotal evidence so there are few wrong answers. Keep it up man I love the tank and Hope one day to see if myself. Love from ColoSpgs
Lovely tank , keep up the good work !
great video Jake and Scott's tank is such a favorite of mine ahs he is a great guy.
Wow!! Great job, just amazing footage of an amazing tank. Actually I like Scott's simple approach, large volume of water to make up for extra dosing.
Awesome video.
I really like this tank. Especially the light fish stocking.
OMG great reef tank
Congrats Scott!! Awesome channel and tank!
Great video! Congrats Scott! Big time now.
Scott, mind blown!
video is well made. gorgeous reef tank.
Excellent video!
Best filming and quality aquarium videos in RUclips!
Really nice piece of tank. I prefer natural lighting that UV or whatever looks like "fluo" corals but I'm. still impressed with where you go and what people you meet and what they do. You have a nice job, lucky guy! 😃 Keep on enjoying us with your movies!
I love the tank tours! Maybe even more than event coverage.
It's a good thing I have a little bit of both coming up then! Definitely stay tuned because I'm going to visit Jason Fox tomorrow, and Sanjay Joshi the day after that!
Wow! I love Sanjay's tank and his approach to the hobby. Cant wait to see Jason's!
awesome set up!
Nice video and a lovely looking reef setup :)
Woah fantastic I hope my reef tank looks like this one day :)
great video loved all of it keep up u great work
Congrats Scott! Nice video Jake, More Bro!
top notch video tnx for the great effort!
nice,great tank scott
I would have given my left....pinkie finger for Xenia's like those. I'm glad I got out...the ignorance was huge 25 years ago and up to when I stopped 10 years ago. If knew that hobby stuff wont cut it back then? ..but they kept saying Caulerpa and Metal Halides is all you needed.
Clunk.
This guy gets an A+..I would like to see this guy make the jump to a mega sized tank.
Crazy beautiful
Here's is Scott's follow up video to my visit to Mile High Reefers: ruclips.net/video/NnQD5DUzSEw/видео.html
can someone tell me how long it would take for a tank like this to grow (assuming you start with bare rock and tiny corals).
i love the reef builder music theme its awesome
Sand is fine for qt-but not for a treatment tank. QT is a period of forced isolation and observation- so keeping stress down is most important.
Been a plumber for 30 years, never saw a reefer using drainage fittings for supply!! Lol
Lol, i didn't notice it until I was editing the video - I assume the hardware store was out of the proper pressure rated fittings when he went, and he improvised
I do want to comment on the QT and sand. I have to agree with Jake here. No offence Scott and here's why. Sand can absorb many of the medications we dose making it more challenging to stay within therapeutic levels. Many reefers (myself included 5+ years ago) feel the need to cycle their QT tank. This is simply not needed. The QT can easily be managed with water changes or products like Amquel or Prime. If you have active medications running- it's best to avoid ammonia removers and control the levels with water changes unless you know that particular medication will not have a negative reaction with the Amquel or Prime. If you must run some bio media, get some Siporax or Marine Pure Spheres and keep them in your sump until it's time to set up the QT. I would throw about 10 Spheres in the back of an Aquaclear filter. These will give you the extra stability you're looking for. Sand is too dirty and hard to remove. If you have a wrasse, just put some sand in a small glass container. Just remember, once any bio media is used, it's best to bleach it, rinse it, and let it dry before you use it again. Don't just throw the media back in your sump or you'll introduce previous medications or parasites to your DT. Ideally, it's best to have enough media so it can be switched out while your waiting on the other to be colonized again. Here's how I do it and I honestly feel it's the best and easiest way. I use a 15/G and 20/L tank when I QT, but it's personal preference. I like to run Aquaclear 70's "without" media, but with a simple sponge to catch detritus or leftover food. I also run a small air-stone for increased oxygen saturation, but it also helps export detritus. I do a 100% water change and transfer in 7 days or so, but it's just when needed. Depends on how much you feed. This reduces any harmful ammonia levels, but also keeps stubborn parasites (Uronema) at bay. After i'm done with treatments, during the observation period I only do water changes- no transfers. Copper and Chloroquine "if maintained at therapeutic levels" will prevent most parasites from landing on the fish. Most parasites that are already there will fall off within 7 days (ICH or Velvet). After the first transfer, they should be gone. At this time you want to address internal parasites, flukes, worms, or bacterial infections. After all is completed... clean and sterilize the QT. Now it's ready for the next batch of fish. You can put the qt away or keep it there waiting (dry) for new fish and water. Honestly, Coppersafe and Chloroquine have been 100% effective for me in only 7 days with both ICH and velvet. Brooklynalla and Uronema are a different story, but both are fairly easy to spot and then you just treat them.
This is super awesome I love the lighting of the tank in the intro it's easy on the eyes I don't know if it's me but the dark tanks is not my cup of tea ✅✅💯💯
Sand QT is fine.
I LOVE this tank! I'm getting a Red Sea Max 400 Reefer - do you think that would be big enough for multiple tangs? I love them and I'd like to get a Yellow tang and a Kole tang, but I'm worried they might kill each other. :/
If it works for him why add anything else...
The Great Barrier Reef once looked like this
Amazing tank and I love his channel as well as yours. 2 of my favorites. Has Scott had any problems with the LPS stinging each other or the SPS?
One day i will buy
Absolutely gorgeous! But why not substrate in a QT? I hear it allot. BTW, love the powder blue Mercedes in the driveway!
awesome
Beautiful 😶
beautiful tank! I want to get a salt water tank but I've never had one I don't know how much salt to put In I've kept fresh water for 15 years need help starting a salt water aquarium
Omg what's the light settings
If you going to quarantine gobies that generally occupy the same bed is good to have sand bad for them to occupy
the way he does his reef should be his decision no? I felt like the majority of the video was just critising how he does things. like no water changes or sand in his quarantine. just annoying
Nice Jake!
Why no sand in qt tank?
I noticed with some of the coral shots they changed color, I presume because you put a filter in front of the camera, specifically the orange hammer and the neon green toadstool looked so much less bleached out. What kind of filter did you use?
Actually i was using two different kinds of cameras
Jo Jake!
where did u get that dope zoa cap?
Nice display in his tank
who cares about the tank, That ponytail is glorious
best comment right here!! 😂😂😂😂😂
What type of camera is this _reef builders
Totally want a fish room now
