Haven't watched in a bit but I'm on a binge tonight. This man was an amazing gift to our hobby and I am so very grateful for all the time I spent watching these videos. Rest in peace and many blessings to you and your family.
RIP Jake 🙏🏼❤️ You left behind something so great for all of us reefers. You got me into this hobby with your videos. I’m sure you will be building an awesome Reeftank up there! You will be missed. Much love to you and your family.
Miss you Jake may you RIP I wish you were still around producing your amazing content! still got Jake on repeat 23/06/2023 you were the inspiration to this hobby
@@michaelherndon1444 how isn’t it simple because he is using higher end equipment? You can do the same with lower end equipment that doesn’t cost as much. It’s a simple setup only thing that is more advanced would be the calc reactor.
RIP Jake, I think of you and your passion and knowledge of reefing always, your tanks and animals were pristine and amazing, I refer to your videos for help with my aquarium, I would hope to have a frag from some of your collections grace my tank one day.
I still get so incredibly sad watching Jake. I got into the hobby 2.5 years ago and spent a lot of time learning from Jake at night when I got some time to myself. Although many of us never knew him personally, I hope his family knows he left a mark on so many people and he was so deeply respected by so many. RIP Jake.
Hi Jake always look forward to your content more than any other, and especially like how you put so much enthuses on enjoying the growth form of corals. The tank is an inspiration, thank you.
Gonna miss you Jake.. RIP, YOU will be sorely missed by me and everyone in this hobby.. Glad I got to meet you and several visits to your studio to chat, trade and talk. Hope you heard my voice mail, miss ya already:(
Jake, two things. I know you see this tank all the time, but in my 27 years of Reefing, this is some of the nicest looking SPS, LPS, and Softies I've seen. Absolutely stunning tank. Second, the Radion Gen 4 was the perfect light. I've seen countless tanks using these and they all look great. I would use those over the Gen 5 and 6 any day. Thanks for all the content, never gets old.
I have a standard 55 gallon tank setup as a peninsula... talk about tight space... 5 plus years. My 1st tank. 20 gallon homemade sump and refugium. Started with the cheapest equipment possible on Amazon a d have been slowly replacing over the years as necessary. Just stepped up from cheap black box lights to ai primes...huge difference. Built a little control board. Want a controller...and a real peninsula aquarium or cube next. Always loved peninsula style tanks. Mine serves as kind of a half wall between rooms. Definitely nicer to look at from one side but eventually I'll fill it all out. It does allow you to buy alot of coral. My biggest mistake was not making my rock work more custom. I have a hanging garden style scape going on with just 3 big rocks touching the sand bed and everything else is elevated. Wish those rocks had holes for swim throughs as the ones i have arent always enough flow wise and i just plopped the 3 biggest rocks carrib sea sent me without any thought of breaking them, making a flat base, drilling holes or just buying the lifeshape rock they sell that does all that. Its a mixed reef. Mostly lps at this point. During the pandemic i lost a ton of acros and haven't got around to or had the heart/cash/stomach to replace them all. Nice zoa and euphillia gardens. Working on some gonis too. Its expensive and time consuming but i enjoy trying to keep these fragile creatures that are only found in the most exotic warm water reefs in the world thriving in a box of water in my apartment.
Jake, I never met you personally but I really enjoyed your videos. It felt like I knew you in some strange way. Know that you’ll be missed and I hope you’re resting with the most beautiful views of your favorite reefs. I pray for your family and friends. May they find the strength to deal with this very difficult time. Rest my friend. -internet stranger
SELCON! ive fixed so many "hocky puck" zebrasoma tangs by adding selcon to their food. ive had a purple and gem tang with no fins regrow them within a week or two after starting to feed selcon. definitely give it a shot.
I love this tank so much as to collars and forms! Would also have loved to see the aquarium under blue lights only, but the 2000 likes were not attained in time though. So sorry.But I have noted down the light schedule which I will be using over my aquarium with my Radion XR15 Pro.Thank you Jake....
Speaking of lights. I’m anxious to see how the Refi Uno 2.0 Pro performs. Hopefully someone will put out a review on it. Should be coming out in the next month or so.
I remember the last time you showed this Reef and Wow how beautiful all the Corals are.💜 The Gem Tang poor guy has lost almost all finnage😢 Yellow Tangs can be real Dicks I hope that perfect one isn't bullying that guy. Thanks ✌💜🐟🐟
Tank is amazing and yet so simple. I think it’s time for me to let go of some gadgets and go back in time to the simple days. I might even have to reboot the tank after nearly three years of struggling on multiple issues from Cyanobacteria, Ich, and now Dinos and ich.
Hi, first time viewing from England uk. I wanted to ask why you did not use any coral sand on the bottom of this particular tank? I always assumed you needed it for the base of marine tanks? But it really made me think differently about marine setup, and I'm going to be a new subscriber so able to view other setups. Excellent video.
What is the toadstool on the right hand side down at the bottom? Would be nice to spend more time showing the corals individually, comparatively to much time on equipment basics. Discussing a bit more about them. Size started, size now (how long since placed, how fast they grow). Why locations chosen, relationships to what’s around them, what other corals, interactions. All that being said, this is a spectacular mixed reef tank. What media being used?
Tank is looking 🔥 other than the fin erosion. Corals look amazing! Glad you addressed the fin erosion on the tangs. That is one of the reasons I came out to Reefstock. I have a yellow that looks like absolute hell. Your tangs look 10 times better than mine. Sure would be nice to find out what actually causes this! How to prevent it and hopefully how to reverse it one day. It sucks as the yellow tang is one of my favorite fish in the trade.
Ok that’s it, lol. I am pulling my chaeto, filter floss, bio ball, and carbon reactor. Maybe then my 3 year old tank will finally start performing. It been a long up hill battle for my 100 gallon planet aqu

Written by Ralph C.Parker Jr. October 19th, 2022. Rest in peace Jake 🙏🏾 🐠🐟🌊
Great tank, although I still find bare bottoms hard to enjoy, just doesn't work for me. I'd also like to see more mid-high swimming fish in this tank, if you'd like to send the tank to my place, I'll give that a go.
Amazingly beautiful Jake! I genuinely love the simplicity and straightforward approach (even though I'm a gear head). Any thoughts on intriducing a red sea reef mat to reduce some maintenance?What tool / method would you use to cut a really thick based acro ? I got a couple of acros that are starting to get out of hand and needs to be taken out, trimmed and put back as mini colonies.
Yes an automatic filter roll is the only real change we'd still like to make to this aquarium. Here's my preferred tool for cutting thick acros reefbuilders.com/2022/04/12/maxspect-coral-pruner-is-ideal-for-thick-sps-skeletons/
Nice balanced setup that's back to basics of the past. When you test your Nitrates and PO4 what type of ratio do you see? Seems I need to keep dosing Sodium Nitrates else my PO4 starts to creep up.
What's the secret to a 6-8 week water change? That's amazing. I start to see a lot of algae on my glass a week after my water change so I do weekly ones. How do you last that long?
hi im new to the channel and i wanna get into reefing im new at it and i dont know what to get and what i need and what fishes to use and corals i have a 240 tank and i was wondering if you could make a video for people who is new and starting off
Hey Jake. I have a really healthy Purple Tang with the same problem as your Gem Tang. From what I have read using carbon or GFO regularly can be the problem. I love all your videos by the way.
yes, the origins of HLLE caused by activated carbon or long term exposure to copper is well documented, which is why I've gone out of my to never use them on my Zebrasoma species, this is a different kind of fin erosion with no effect to the lateral line
I recently bought a file fish to eradicate the beginning of small aptasia. But as of yet it hasn't nipped on any of them that I can see.Are they a sure thing to eat aptasia it's only been 2 weeks but I remain optimistic.
Haven't watched in a bit but I'm on a binge tonight. This man was an amazing gift to our hobby and I am so very grateful for all the time I spent watching these videos. Rest in peace and many blessings to you and your family.

Totally agree. Love how your content isn’t afraid to question/confront the trend towards tons of technology and overly complex systems.
Oh you mean he isn't running $1500 in lights and $1500 in pumps $1000 in dosing $900 protein skimmer etc... keeping it simple lol

I rewatch these videos constantly, to remind myself what reefing is all about
Beautiful tank Jake. Already miss your videos. Only met you once at NY Reef a Palooza. But interesting talking to you. RIP

Totally agree!

Rip Jake. We will sure miss you!
Reef in Peace ❤
Thank you Jake. I learn so much from your updates.
I love that you show that you can have a successful reef without all of the bank breaking gear.
That intro beat hit the bass line slappin 🔊🔊🔊🔊
Great example of a "mixed reef" everything looks very happy!

Yep second this !
Totally agree on adding selcon. Fully healed a beat up Tomini in just a few weeks

Nice work peninsula brother, your system is looking great
Thanks Deven
Looks great! A great mix of healthy corals!
Amazing coloration even without all blue light but PLEASE hit us with some shots at the end just so our minds can be even more blown.
your hard work shows, perfect tank
It’s incredible to see how you get all corals in this mixed reef to love life. It’s hard to please them all at ones…
Absolutely Beautiful thanks for sharing Jake Reef builders really kicks A** 👍🍻

Awesome tank.... I love a sand bottom but this tank makes a strong case for bare bottom.
Such an AWESOME tank !
This tank is so amazing!!!!
Great tank. Definitely a showpiece.

Nice tank Jake, keep up making these tank-showcase videos 🤓
Beautiful and thriving
Bro your tank is absolutely gorgeous stunning. Are you against live rock?
My heart is broken.....
Amazing tank!!
Thanks for sharing!!❤❤❤❤
That Hawkins/ Red Dragon contrast is my favorite. I guess that teal coral is a Hawkins.? Love the big stag too.
Same color as the Hawkins 'echinata' (Turaki) but this is a different species but yeah, they make a great combo
THIS AQUARIUM IS BEAUTIFUL, CONGRATULATIONS. WHAT ARE THE DIMENSIONS OF THE AQUARIUM IN INCHES (CENTIMETERS)?
6 foot = 180 cm length. Not sure of the other dimensions but gives a good idea about the size of the tank.
Absolutely stunning aquarium! I love this one so much! Has it always been fairly smooth sailing with such a simple setup?
Beautiful tank
Looks great!!
Whats the name of the corals thats melting into the sand ?
This tank is 🔥🔥
What is the toadstool on the right hand side down at the bottom? Would be nice to spend more time showing the corals individually, comparatively to much time on equipment basics.

Try some vita-chem for the tangs? It can be really good for regrowing fins.

I stop video so Jake can alive for ever.
Should be titled: What everyone hopes their tank might look like one day.
what configuration do you use in your led lamps?
No tricks in here when the whole thing's fully automated
do u have macro algea consuming your phosphates is that why they go down to zero
My sea life aquariums dont have this problem with the fish's fins.
Beautiful.

I literally have the eeeeexact same setup. Expect I don’t have the fancy versa. And I got G6s
Tank looks 🔥🔥. Are you dosing trace elements with the few water changes or no?
Wow lot on your elercick bill engery crisis crazy
Changes water periodicy? Thank you

This reef is really hitting its stride! You didn’t mention how much acropower you’re dosing or what the tank gets for food otherwise if you can share!
around 10ml of AcroPower each day and 30ml of Reef Energy AB+ once a week
What do you feed the fish in this tank and how often? Thx
Lighting question please. For a 60 gallon cube, which would work better for all SPS? (2) Radion XR15 Blues or (1) Radion XR30? Thank you
Nice tank! Which salt brand are you using for water changes?
