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.
Damn I miss Jake. His enthusiasm and knowledge is unmatched.
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
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.
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.

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
@@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.
@@Mcappo easily understood or done; presenting no difficulty.
I rewatch these videos constantly, to remind myself what reefing is all about
RIP. thank you for endlessly sharing your passion with the world. you will be missed.
RIP Jake. Thank you so much
Beautiful tank Jake. Already miss your videos. Only met you once at NY Reef a Palooza. But interesting talking to you. RIP
Great video as always ! Everything looks amazing!
Looks great! A great mix of healthy corals!
Ngl: I took this guy for granted. His knowledge is deep and vast much like the environment the corals we love inhabit.
God speed.
Awesome update as always!
Really awesome tank Jake! I really appreciated the candid synopsis of the Surgeon Fish and their fin issues. Makes me feel a little better about my Yellow Tang who, despite a decent diet and multiple attempts at medication, has earned the nickname "Train Wreck" do to his fin and tail problems.
Thank you Jake. I learn so much from your updates.
RIP Jake, miss you man!
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.
Excellent some great content from the studio instead of gassing for hours ! Looks sweet
Great job in maintaining such a beautiful aquarium.
Absolutely epic love that everywhere you look there is something going on. Super inspiring. Can’t believe the flow is just two mp60!
Miss this guy!
Love that acropora hoeksemai, I am an Australian reefer and have had that acro in my system for the last 8 years and it's always got insane polyp extension and I love the florescent yellow in the tips.
RIP Jake. we miss you so much.
Very nice tank man! Beautiful corals!
RIP Jake, a legend in the field
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.
Great video. I love these types of updates. Because you do not do these often you can really see the difference inbthe growth. You have a good eye for aquascaping with little rock. I wish I had that eye.
Miss you Jake. :*( How is this possible. How are you gone.
This tank is gorgeous man. Love it.
Great video, beautiful tank and the corals are awesome, thank for sharing. Always being entertaining and educational.
Amazing tank!!
Thanks for sharing!!❤❤❤❤
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:(
Great example of a "mixed reef" everything looks very happy!
loved this video. Thanks, Jake :) miss ya
Back in our passion after a few years of rest, I learn that you've left for the great ocean. My thoughts to your family
Thanks for being you Jake
This tank is so amazing!!!!
Good boy Jake! 🥰👌🐶 tank is incredible!
Such an AWESOME tank !
your hard work shows, perfect tank
Absolutely Beautiful thanks for sharing Jake Reef builders really kicks A** 👍🍻
Great tank. Definitely a showpiece.
Merci pour tes vidéos!
MAGNIFIQUE ce peninsula JAKE!!
Salut de la🇨🇭 !!
Looks great!!
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.
god i always love the music yall tag along with your vids. by far my favorite part since almost all other reefers dont or use generic music.
thanks, it's one aspect of video production that we've always particularly enjoyed
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.
RIP Jake. I never met you but I will remember you.
I miss to hear Jake opening video, so i open old video just for remember him . .😢
Great video and thank you for sharing. This was just the video I needed. Took about a 10 year hiatus from the reef hobby and plan to get a 625xll or 180 DX early next year. Last night, I created a google sheet itemizing all the equipment that I would need to get. Your video just shaved off about $2-4K that can now in turn be used for livestock. 🙌🏼
all that extra gear you were considering I physically have sitting on the shelf
Absolutely stunning aquarium! I love this one so much! Has it always been fairly smooth sailing with such a simple setup?
Awesome tank.... I love a sand bottom but this tank makes a strong case for bare bottom.
This is the first time I’ve watched one of his videos sense he passed he was awesome
Stunning!
That intro beat hit the bass line slappin 🔊🔊🔊🔊
Beautiful reef tank 👍👍
9:22 - man the color contract between those two sticks...awesome stuff. The whole video my eyes kept getting drawn to that portion of the tank.
Totally agree!
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.
Reef in Peace ❤
Beautiful how do you keep your water so clear
I am in complete shock. Condolences to to all family and many friends. 😔 rip Jake, 😢
Rip Jake. We will sure miss you!
Tank looks 🔥🔥. Are you dosing trace elements with the few water changes or no?
Beautiful and thriving
Beautiful.
Gorgeous tank! And, you got your 2k likes. Do it!
Beautiful tank
Nice tank! Which salt brand are you using for water changes?
Nice tank Jake, keep up making these tank-showcase videos 🤓
R.I.P. Jake Adams.
That's a beautiful thing 😀
Man i miss jake 😢
Nice work peninsula brother, your system is looking great
Thanks Deven
Can you share your radion schedule export? I'd like to actually see your set points. Thanks!
Love the tank :) Bravo Jake ;) olala the red dragon is soo awesome. so hard to find it here..
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.
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.
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.
I have a question about Phos. So you mentioned bottoming out. I have a 20 gallon coral only tank. I feed them once in a while and my phos are always bottomed out. I have neophos to dos, but after a little while it bottoms out again. What is the safest way to to help keep the phos up without it happening too fast? Add a fish?
if you have no fish you'll definitely get a lot of mileage in the PO4 department by adding a fish or three
really cool tank
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....
what configuration do you use in your led lamps?
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/
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.
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…
Beautiful 😍
Try some vita-chem for the tangs? It can be really good for regrowing fins.
Vraiment très beau reef ❤
Changes water periodicy? Thank you
It is stunning - the corals that standout to me in this video is the weeping willow and then the pectinia and the rampage.
Man I hope we get to 2k likes on this vid!
This tank is 🔥🔥
How long was it from startup to lights on to acro lighting for this tank, or most similar tanks in the studio? I Still rewatch all the content many times over, as the information is quality the look and feel is bright & positive, and Jake had such an infectious enthusiasm & passion for all things aquatic with such an honest delivery and pure obvious joy in sharing it with everyone. 💙
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
Hello Jake, Amazing tank keeping as always.
I need your help, I'm running a barebottom tank too, but algae grow on the bottom glass, do I just leave it or scrape it off ?
I'd leave it or try to add something to the tank that will eat it
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 ✌💜🐟🐟
Hello,
If it possible to have a picture of the radion schedule ?
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.
Thank you so much! ❤
thanks again for the great content! how long is your ramp up/down? 3 hours or?
yes three hours
I love that you show that you can have a successful reef without all of the bank breaking gear.
is it possible the fin erosion is from the fish swimming through the rocks and coral and eventually rubbing away. it seems possible seeing its just the top fin thats effected
