Thanks, orange filters are easy to use but they blow out and oversaturate beyond any semblance of reality. It's a lot more work to get white balance CORRECT, and even harder under mostly blue light
A whole different level of tank and reef keeping. Specimens are all looking so healthy. Truly grateful for this type of coverage. You're always doing a stand-up job sharing valuable information. I for one am always very happy to hear the Scientific names of specimens. Designer names are fun but I much prefer knowing the Taxonomy... I hear you with that one Symphyllia specimen, buildings on fire I'm grabbing that one first lol. Such a bank of specimens. A true treasure they have built. Amazing seeing how clean everything was. Especially given the amount of water and tank space they manage. Thanks for taking the extra time and not passing over specimens quickly. Baller collection of Echinata... and everything else!
I think whats usually described as Dragon Soul Favia is a Goniastrea, just something to consider when placing them close to other species to avoid fights 🙈
Love these videos where you cover different retail locations! I wish my LFS was anywhere near the level of WWC! Truly an awesome place! And all that EcoTech... my god.
I live in Buffalo NY and went to Florida last October and visited this store. This store puts stores in my area to complete shame. I was not able to go into the farm but I pressed my face against the glass and looked at that first 750. There was so much there and it was so clean. Everyone was happy and wanting to help. Really next level. Anyone in the hobby should see this place just to see how it should be done.
Yeah I really wanna go one day, I’m in Miami so it’s a day trip for me if I really want to go. But if I go I’ll try my hardest to buy a nice amount of coral, if ima drive for 6-7 hours then I want some nice ass corals
You should do a more in depth video on feeding, what it takes to get so clean in the systems. How do they feed so much but not have algae blooms? Types of food? how many water changes? etc
Jake you done good at the beginning then you got overwhelmed by the coral eye candy. I was trying so hard to take note of there power head setup, lighting spacing, fiberglass tank size and depth, overflow setup and trying to scan thru for glimpses of sump and filtration equipment. I want to make sure I understand how they got there with those systems creating an ideal environment for the coral to thrive.
@@Jaguarboy11 yup, think I watched it were they showed the reef octopus skimmer and all. But I noticed design improvements to the systems in Jake's walk through.
Jake that was amazing what a pleasure for the eyes. Such beautiful and rare corals , the colours of the favias, acan echinata mind blowing. Loved the vid now to find me a rainbow bowerbankii. I wish 🔥🔥🔥
40:59 Zoanthids are considered "corals" by many scientists, including some zoanthids' experts. I do too like to call zoanthids "colonial anemones", simply because we wouldn't call anemones corals, right? Truth is that with all the mess we have nowadays in terms of nicknames, it doesn't really matter what we call anything anymore. No one will be able to differ and draw a line for that matter. I've got tired of trying to teach people about zoas... so many newbies are called "experts" too. It's out of hands! LOL! Perfect lights for the season. Merry Christmas, Jake.
We feed several times a day. Sometimes every hour depending on water quality and coral requirements. Two times a week each system gets clouded with enough food to change the water clarity.
Sometimes, we still use timers and hourly feeding when necessary. We also have huge skimmer on each system that we may or may not use at any given time.
Hey all good, you gotta definitely show that tank off if you can, but keep up the good work and viedos, respect the dedication to the channel. Happy new year and wish you the best for 2022
Had the opportunity to see this first hand. I own an LFS in Omaha. I plan on getting one of those 750s made. Might go bigger lol. That room is literally epicentre of coral keeping and propagation. Looking forward to seeing TSAs set up at some point! Jake why the hate towards sponges? Just curious.
Curious thought but your talking about to much sponge in your tanks, are you still only using carbon filters instead of rodi? Maybe your getting enough silicates through to keep them going 🤔 . Freaken awesome video though
Wow nice. Hey Jake, I was wondering is there any analysis of whether farming on land in aquariums are more profitable than in the sea (aquaculture submerged land leasing)? The costs of lighting and heating/cooling is very expensive is it not? I wonder if there's a pros/cons list of the 2 options.
We love all you do for the hobby Jake. I personally don't agree with promoting anything from WWC or TSA. They both have nice farms but 90% of what they sell is not grown on the farm. Same corals any other shop gets shipped in on a regular basis. But with an unjustified markup. Taking nice pictures and having a man at the door to take your temperature before entering the store doesn't add value. Neither does big advertising expenses. Any shop that needs to markup saltwater flora and fauna over 200% over cost shouldnt be in the game.
Interesting, they took some cheap band to fix the light on the rack. But I don't unterstand the use of this many vortex pumps. Maybe they are easy to install, but you can save toussand of dollars if you use big return pumps instead, and a lot of nozzles?!
and still their corals are expensive as hell..............i live about 100 miles from them and never go.....they have nice corals, no doubt, but they are pricey on their corals for what you get. frags are not big at all.
@@scubaguy5389 top tip. Every piece I put on eBay are nice, healthy, and covered under our 10 day guarantee when shipped. I slip three or four higher end pieces on every week. eBay during our R2R live sales have a lot more higher end pieces. But, competition is higher. It’s worth throughly checking out all 325 corals posted every week. You never know what you might find.
@@bobbymelton9828 I agree I have seen that one. Yes they go fast though. You guys have also on reef to reef some nice pieces but impossible to get I tried many times and gave up.m too many people
Thank you for pretty much skipping the zoanthids. They are WWCORALS and as I now know thanks to reefstock 2021 on UA-cam, zoanthids aren’t even a coral! Come on WWC, do better.
The fact they put so much effort into aquaculture is great but most of what they sell is not aquacultured. Blanketing aquacultured prices over every coral is really not right.
I wish you could have showcased more sps branching type species like acros, millies, and many others. I guess I'm just a stick head lol. What a beautiful facility and a great display of how beautiful all corals are!
That place is a coral heaven!!! I live about 4 hours from there and never been able to visit but coming next year i will for sure! What a beautiful collection.
It's such an incredible set up. I'll watch coverage of their shop all day long. Just one of those banks is incredible. Based off the dimensions, that's a 750 gallon display with 6 hydroponic / containment tanks in-line. It reminds me a lot of the layout Reef Wholesale (Coral Lab) used when they did the Radion growth trials for EcoTech; especially the line of VorTech's down the side. The corals are of course the show stoppers, but I think I'm in love. The next time someone asks what my dream tank is, I'm just pointing to one of these banks. Not that I can justify that investment at a hobby level, but one can always dream. :)
Looks awesome guys appreciate the video jake ✊🏽 with all that coral and grow outs you would think there corals would be more affordable. Supply and demand ???
You did good with that white balance. Corals look amazing. Way better than orange filter. I hate the orange filter look. 👍🏼
Thanks, orange filters are easy to use but they blow out and oversaturate beyond any semblance of reality. It's a lot more work to get white balance CORRECT, and even harder under mostly blue light
@@ReefBuildersVideo doing it manually is well worth it!
@@ReefBuildersVideo well you did good and I much more enjoy the white balance look like that. More realistic look.
I could spend days just looking at those corals. Please do a part two, it was great to see all the different varieties with you two describing some.
Great tour Jake & Thanks for Vic as well. Their farm and retail side are top notch! Beautiful array of stunning corals.
I too am in love with that purple Goni and the bright green tips! 😍

Really enjoying the longer than normal video wish it would've been longer bc I was waiting to see the JB set up.
Victor is the man.
Dragon soul favia, dragon soul torch. The goni goes by Ironman goni in Houston area. Fairly inexpensive too.

The colors are phenomenal! Great camera work
Take your time doing this stuff! Can't get enough of this! I've been back there in the grow out. Im having a similar tank made as the 750s they have
I loved this video! Thank you
That is awesome to see. Thank you for sharing!!
17:55 that should be a wwc hg torch, one of the most expensive ones….
I can confirm as an Australian, maximum dribble over those Ricordea Florida
Great video! Also 750g grow out tanks. I love WWC!
Excellent video, I was surprised to see some sand in those big glass tanks. I thought they were more bare bottom. Guess it makes the color pop more.
Those ricordea Florida 😱😱😱
Holy moly!😵💫 eye candy 🍭 overload, sold on the heavy in heavy out method.

best reef video of 2021
We need this business in Arizona Estrella Village near Tolleson.
We ship. 😎
That’s crazy 😜
This is *&%#$@ Amazing!!! Thanks for the Christmas Present Jake!!!!!
Oh man you got me was waiting to see that jaw breaker tank sounds amazing, I'm all about the shrooms
WWC has killer Goni. I got a wWC bloodshot Goni and it’s so unique. You better get a frag of that insane orange/magenta Goni. Steal it if you got too
I really liked.....
All of them!🤣
Love all your beautiful videos!!
Love this, tanks you!

If I have so much corals I will need a server unit to keep track for me. Awesome corals & colours. Need to feed my corals more.
Jake during this episode was like Jodi Foster in Contact. "They should have sent a poet..."
Jake says at the beginning that there was a part one of the store? Where is that video?
reefbuilders.com/2020/11/23/one-year-video-update-of-the-worldwide-corals-superstore/
Where are the Acro's?
Man that would be awesome to walk through. Talk about sensory overload! Lol
Really nice corals, crazy 👍🏻✌🏻

Stunning pieces!! What an amazing tour!! Thanks. When you say they feed 2 times a week, you were referring to the corals, right?
We feed several times a day. Sometimes every hour depending on water quality and coral requirements. Two times a week each system gets clouded with enough food to change the water clarity.
@@bobbymelton9828 thanks!!!
Great vid
10:00 minutes in Anyone els catch the F-bomb remix he did 😂😂😂😂
Fa-ha-ha-ha-haaa . . .
2x a week feeding the corals? I remember they use to say they fed every hour on the dot…
Sometimes, we still use timers and hourly feeding when necessary. We also have huge skimmer on each system that we may or may not use at any given time.
Any chance we will see the viedo of the jaw breaker tank 👎 or 👍 , those little fungi got me trippin
Sorry I didn't get around to it, maybe next time
Hey all good, you gotta definitely show that tank off if you can, but keep up the good work and viedos, respect the dedication to the channel. Happy new year and wish you the best for 2022
9:58 tell us how you really feel Jake LOLOLOL
I'm curious what their secret is to feeding that heavy and still not having algae
Thousands of coral polyps trying to take in nutrient all at once, very little sand to store and leach nutrient, and a clean up crew/tang gang.
Had the opportunity to see this first hand. I own an LFS in Omaha. I plan on getting one of those 750s made. Might go bigger lol. That room is literally epicentre of coral keeping and propagation. Looking forward to seeing TSAs set up at some point! Jake why the hate towards sponges? Just curious.
whats a good schedule to go with on a 200 gallon mixed reef? im running 3x radion xr30 g4
Curious thought but your talking about to much sponge in your tanks, are you still only using carbon filters instead of rodi? Maybe your getting enough silicates through to keep them going 🤔 .
Freaken awesome video though
Oh yes my source water is still 2ppm but managing sponge growth is easier than going to war against Si in the water
What is the purple and gold Goni called?
top-down view is the only view! haha.
I wish I could own that 😂
Wow!
4:43 I’m pretty sure some of the ones you called palythoas are just big polyped zoanthids.
WOW just WOW
Dragon soul torch and the favia to Jake.
Wow nice. Hey Jake, I was wondering is there any analysis of whether farming on land in aquariums are more profitable than in the sea (aquaculture submerged land leasing)? The costs of lighting and heating/cooling is very expensive is it not? I wonder if there's a pros/cons list of the 2 options.

Too hard to change and dial in the the flow. Corals get moved around a lot and fresh frags need lower flow for the first few days.

ooo man the teal hammer looks so nice! and that one torch in the bottom right corner at 40:01. What torch is that!
Stop 🛑 it Jake , I'm green 💚 with envy, Greeeeeeeeeeen!
No Rainbow/Convict Chalice or Plum Punch Blastomussa?
Hi Jake! I also name is Jake 🥰🐶
🐐
Can you share how the system keeps the Frag Plug so clean? My frag plug is full of algae after one to two weeks....
I wonder how the coral industry will be affected with the laws that are changing next year on the pet industry
Maybe a year and a half ago I sold a dragon soul to Jake. I wanna hope that thats the one he's talking about.
How much is your electric and water bill?
