Wow, this guy knows his stuff/corals, you can say he has a lifetime in the hobby, being brought up on his dads coral farm, he’s the kind of guy you need to listen to when it comes to looking after corals, he is having great success with his coral farm. You definitely came across another gem here Jake, great video. 👍👏
Hey Jake, this is one of the most enjoyable videos I've watch on the channel. The guys energy is so infectious - I wasn't surprised at his answer at the end.
Incredible, unbelievable it for sure super nice , this guy doesn’t go thru any expensive equipment, just basically the sun and a lot of hard work but most of all , no one piece is removed from our oceans he’s creating a great system in the middle of nowhere, great video Jake
This is my favorite video from reef builders hands down! This guy really knows his stuff, and that's becuase of his passion for the livestock! I love the greenhouse, so simple, but very smart!! Congrats!!! You have done a great job!
Another excellent vid Jake! These guys are simple basic Reef husbandry that is successful! I’ve been in the hobby since 1997 and do the same regiment as Tampico....love the simplicity 😎
I am blown away..... We get dismal grey skies & drizzle here in western Oregon from November to April (sometimes June). Would never have thought this possible! "Nothing too crazy or exotic". He is in business to make a profit-- there is no volume in catering to the "elite" you gotta grow what sells.
this is my favorite video besides when you went to feed the reef i just love the green house.. believe it or not this is on my bucket list. keep up the awesome work .. love the channel !!
This is one of my all time favorite videos, this guy I would love to meet because it doesn’t get any realer on the simple level. I’ve always said keep it simple, you don’t always need the best of the best out there to get into this hobby. I am definitely looking up his Facebook to hopefully learn more on how to be successful.
Impressive , I've run outdoor tanks and growth and health is insane, it takes a lot of observation to keep sunlight under control. But the rewards are fantastic, I'm now using plasma light and led to get the same result indoors. Spectrum is king. What a champ, doing what he loves and making a living out of it. By the way, no bling here, everything is done for pure efficiency and use case. Redundancy is a big thing, you should have asked him about power? Battery backup etc or generators. Kudos too for him on jumping back on the horse when he lost thousands of corals.
I've been watching your videos since you just had video clips of random rare exotic things. I think this is one of your best videos yet. The length is perfect as far as the questions you asked and comments, it was detailed but didn't drag on at all. Interesting that you weren't even planning on going out there. The corals and faces for that matter showed really well in the mix of mostly sunlight and led lights and of course the one or 2 metal halides. I still have almost that identical reflector kicking around. Surprised to see those "upgraded" maxijets still kicking too.
Love to see others doing natural light for corals. I personally built a 6k gallon Ricordia farm in Tampa Florida using natural lighting with great success. You need deep tanks to filter the red, yellow, green out of sunlight to bring out colors in the corals. Shade cloths only reduce intensity.
Tidal doesn't use the sun though. They had to basically shield the sun and use t5 or LED because season have way too much of a drastic change in amounts of light from the sun in this area of the country.
Hey man, thank you very much for this interesting, informative video. Of particular interest were the special technique fragmentation of corals and the effective but simple technique of the coral farm. Best regards from Switzerland
Very awesome video Jake! I've always thought sunlit reef tanks were a cool area of the hobby. Keep the videos coming, Reefbuilders is my favorite RUclips channel for sure. I know you're a busy guy but let's see an update of your 60g reef tank at home! Been dying to sneak a peak of it since you switched over to sps dominant!!
Being in Oregon...don't you get snow? If so, how do you deal with it with all the screening on top? NW, i looked it up, 5" per year lol you are SO lucky :)
That statement at 11:05 the daylight is washing out some of their colors... man we're a spoiled bunch, growing the way mother nature provided? Nah! Lets hammer that with nothing but blue and actinic light! Phosphorescence is the only way, it is the natural look! :D Absolutely love the daylight on these corals. That's how you know which corals are REALLY pretty looking, not the enough blue/actinic to give you cataracts in an afternoon that you always see at the shows
'Absolutely' a 'very cool' video : )))) Uall should make tshirts.. But i must say great vid.. glad to hear from these guys and their thoughts on running their systems.
Hey Thanks for the kind words. Yep you did see a Kleins Butterfly. I have several, fantastic Aiptasia eaters and I have been told they eat Zoanthid Nudibranchs as well but I have never confirmed this. They rarely peck at corals and I have really only seen this behavior when they are underfed.
"Absolutely fantastic", I would say. That is probably an Amphiroa sp. @23:02 Like any coralline algae: Calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, strontium, temp around 78°F max and light. They show more pink on the top under t5s. Halides and direct sunlight, depending on wattage, will bring out that washed out coloration. Alkalinity is a must to keep it growing. Kalkwasser is the best! In a well maintained tank they can become a nuisance because they brake off very easily and will start filling up all over, hard to control.
Dumb question but when people such as this owner talk about using blue lights to give the corals better colour do they simply mean it looks better while viewing the coral or does the different wavelength actually make the coral produce more pigment and cause them to physically be more vibrant long term?

@@bluecollaraquatics5268 absolutely
The beauty of it
That is a great question
Really amazing Jake.
Love seeing all those corals.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Hey Jake, this is one of the most enjoyable videos I've watch on the channel. The guys energy is so infectious - I wasn't surprised at his answer at the end.
This is my favorite video on this channel, who agrees Jake should get back to Tampico and make a part 2?
WE NEED A PART 2!!!!
Man this guy grew up in a coral farm instead of a regular farm. Absolutely fantastic!
Incredible, unbelievable it for sure super nice , this guy doesn’t go thru any expensive equipment, just basically the sun and a lot of hard work but most of all , no one piece is removed from our oceans he’s creating a great system in the middle of nowhere, great video Jake
Awesome tour! Refreshing to see old school tactics with new school knowledge. This dude knows what's up.
The owner is brilliant. Top man
Positively!
This is my favorite video from reef builders hands down! This guy really knows his stuff, and that's becuase of his passion for the livestock! I love the greenhouse, so simple, but very smart!! Congrats!!! You have done a great job!
Absolutely an awesome video, luv the simplicity of his tanks!
One of the best and most interesting video.
Absolutely knowledgeable reefer with real world experience.
Love the old school setup. Cool to see.
"absolutely, that is a great question" i love this guy!
So cool to see a coral farm on the west coast! When my tank is finally cycled I'm purchasing from you guys :) keep it up!
Love , love this video. Thank you for teaching people on what can be accomplished with love and care. Thank you
“Absolutely” awesome video, “absolutely” gonna watch it again. 😂
I love your videos. So much more information than "what skimmer I should get" Keep on making them!
Would love have a beer with those dudes!
This dude is cooo , very simple man and know his stuff. Awesome video!
I don't know very much about saltwater fishkeeping, but This has big nerd energy I love it.
I have problems with lengthy videos but this one I finished the whole thing..ABSOLUTELY..
Another excellent vid Jake! These guys are simple basic Reef husbandry that is successful! I’ve been in the hobby since 1997 and do the same regiment as Tampico....love the simplicity 😎
Kinda funny that I just saw Colby on BRS talking about aquabiomics and it brought me back to this video.
I am blown away..... We get dismal grey skies & drizzle here in western Oregon from November to April (sometimes June). Would never have thought this possible!
"Nothing too crazy or exotic". He is in business to make a profit-- there is no volume in catering to the "elite" you gotta grow what sells.
The owner is cool! True to his word, he has the best of both ...a hobby he loves and it's his business....25 years experience and he looks 25!
this is my favorite video besides when you went to feed the reef i just love the green house.. believe it or not this is on my bucket list. keep up the awesome work .. love the channel !!
Great variety and I’m digging the KISS principles applied here. 👍🏼

That’s so clean and quality there. Nice
I want a coral farm!!! money!!! Nice video, thanks for sharing!

Best reef farm on RUclips. Respect to Tampicobay coral farm.
kalk for the win!
Excellent tips on propagation. Thank you Kyle!
Your Welcome
Great job Tampico! Beats working in a Coal Mine! Nice video Jake.
The KISS method works on everything in life. Great setup 👍🏽😊

Jake Jacobson do you have photos of your farm and pictures of your fish or whatever you have
Yup I have some off an old flip phone. This was in 2007
Have you visited Tidal Gardens yet? That is another crazy greenhouse farm.
Tidal doesn't use the sun though. They had to basically shield the sun and use t5 or LED because season have way too much of a drastic change in amounts of light from the sun in this area of the country.
They are a closed barn its not a true green house.
This was really cool to see..
And the advice at the end is epic 👌🏻👌🏻
Hey man, thank you very much for this interesting, informative video. Of particular interest were the special technique fragmentation of corals and the effective but simple technique of the coral farm. Best regards from Switzerland
Awesome video, I want a green house of my own lol greetings from Brazil.
I knew this would be good when I saw "coral farm". Thanks Jake, needed that eye candy.
One of your best l always enjoy anyone in the industry who a good talker and knows what they are doing.🐠🐠🐠🐠🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🆒🆒🆒😎

Great video and "Absolutely" crazy farm ;)

Very cool Farm, Chill dude. Beer & Corals 👍
When you said he's about to drop the beer in the tank😂😂😂😂
'Absolutely' a 'very cool' video : ))))
Uall should make tshirts..
But i must say great vid.. glad to hear from these guys and their thoughts on running their systems.
Great video and interview
Absolutely awesome!!
Did I liked this Video??? ABSOLUTELY!!!
Is it me or do you feel like cleaning everything 😂 LOL 👍🇬🇧
Enjoyed the video, thanks. Coraline algae looks like Amphiroa tribulus. I have some in my system that I wild collected here. (Phils)
Thanks for the great tip on the Algae. I will look it up and see if I can get a positive id!
At 20:10 did you see him Stutter because a bristle worm 🐛 came off the frag and they tried to hide it by moving over!
? Why would you hide a bristleworm... People are so misinformed.
Velcro's Reef I agree, bristle-worms make for a great clean-up crew at night. Fire-worms however... I understand why someone would hate them.
Great tip at the end
great video, great people, thanks for the share...
Great video , thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I love this guy
Man, Kyle...so cool!
Love this vid man !!! Keep them coming , so cool
Jake another awesome video
I love coral
Y'all agree with me that owner looks just like "Forrest Gump"? lol
awesome video. loved the whole vibe that tampico corals puts out. did i see a kleins butterfly in one of those frag tanks too??
Hey Thanks for the kind words. Yep you did see a Kleins Butterfly. I have several, fantastic Aiptasia eaters and I have been told they eat Zoanthid Nudibranchs as well but I have never confirmed this. They rarely peck at corals and I have really only seen this behavior when they are underfed.
Get a polarized filter for your camera, that will cut off the reflection on water.
Halides are awesome
Coral reef can live in fresh water too?
Natural sunlight also grows my outside reef tank
This guy definitely won his absolutely bet..
Great video!! I'm in Oregon, where is your store?
What happened to the tampico coral farm? It says they’re closed?
how much do you pay for electricity, for the total of your farm?
Not much electricity, Comparable to what you would pay for a house. The big expense is Propane in the winter.
I really love this
"Absolutely fantastic", I would say.
That is probably an Amphiroa sp. @23:02

You are the man ! :-)
Thought you guys were twins in the intro lool
Dumb question but when people such as this owner talk about using blue lights to give the corals better colour do they simply mean it looks better while viewing the coral or does the different wavelength actually make the coral produce more pigment and cause them to physically be more vibrant long term?
I'm super late to this video but is he related to Morgan Wallen?? Cool guy and beautiful Coral!
Every time he says absolutely, take a shot. Rest In Peace.
great vid jake
" I saw that in the wild." " LUCKY YOUUUU! " LOL
It is funny when interviewers try to upstage the one they are interviewing!
Where do you get those big, rectangular, teal green tubs?
Best channel on the tube
Absolutely
Berlin style lol that’s my speed, old school and a skimmer!
echt jetzt? Berlin ist total ekelhaft
Tampico absolutely coral farm
Please help me. where I can buy this very beautiful reef.
Loved the video would absolutely enjoy more of the same.
Loved this video :)
