I really enjoyed this video. Really brings me back. As a child, I remember seeing my first saltwater tank in a seafood restaurant in the early 1990’s. Dead rock, artificial corals, crushed coral DSB, in a beautiful white oak stand with a light stain, 90ish(?) cube, with a center overflow, and a bright fluorescent light, that made all the fish’s colors vividly pop. We would eat their often and I had to impatiently eat my dinner before I could go off on my own to stair at the fish! That’s what got me into Reef Building!
I think the muted decoration give the fish a place to hide without detracting from them as the main event. But more importantly, they are MUCH easier to clean and don't trap waste that results in nutrient buildup.
You did a great job Jake of abstaining in regards to just having a short qt period ensuring the health of the fish and their longevity. So many people don’t take the time to do that. 👍
Ok so you didn't put in the Potters Angel as it didn't pass the test and showed signs of something going on. Weren't you concerned about adding the Basslets since they came from the same QT tank and one fish was showing signs of " A Little Funk" ??????? Love the Basslets. All new fish are very nice additions.
Halichoeres wrasse with no sand, in ionic copper, dumping coppered quarantine water into display tank, that's some real bold move on quarantining fish.
great video as always, in my opinion the tank needs more light so we can appreciate the fish colors better. ( maybe your doing those lights so you do not get lots of algea). keep up the good work
I see you transferred the fish from medicated tanks into the main tank with your hands, but what's a good method if you're working with a foxface and don't want to get stung?
Love your rack system. Are the left and right sides filtered separately? If you have one 'funky' fish in a side, why would you take other fish out to a display? I'd worry they all might have the funk but not showing it. I use a colander to do the final drain before fish goes to the next tank. Every time I've used my hands I've gotten spiked!
Watching you catch those fish gave me flashbacks of catching two rogue shrimp from my reef tank, let’s just say there was a lot more splashing water, swearing, buckets filled with scape and stress then what was exhibited in this video.
The couple times when I have added a new fish to one of my tanks and there is some aggression, I find myself doing the same thing you did and scolding the bully. Makes me feel pretty funny yelling/scolding a fish in a tank lol
Excellent Video Jake. I appreciate your capture technique. Too bad the Angel didn't keep his grades up & graduate with his mates. Absolutely love the shirt. Cheers!! :)
Hey Jake, so what are your preferred medications and schedule that you follow in quarantine? Also, any sensitivity between different fish to those medications?
Hi Jake, I am sure you have said previously but what type of copper do you use and why?? Also, do you ever use Chloroquine Phosphate as an alternative?? And why or why not?? Slightly envious of your Angels, my favourite are Regals, I had three together until I lost them treating for ich. Cheers
@@ReefBuildersVideo my melanarus wrasse is in my frag tank for the past two years (no sand) and he just nestles down for the night in between a couple large colonies of Acans. 😁
Since they are all one system, if the angel has visible ich what would make you think that none of the other fish have ich as well? They are sharing the same water so wouldn't everyone be infected?
Just transfer the netted (or hand caught) fish to an intermediary bucket, with tank water (no copper). Let it swim around for a little bit. Then net (or hand catch) it again, and let it into your DT. Simple 😊
can these fish only tanks equipped with sand, rock and macro algae? i am a freshwater hobbyist, in the future i want to setup a refugium. With deep sand, rocks, macro algae with some hardy mushrooms? will it be possible to use ADA freshwater light for such tank ? i paid some serious dineros and i want to useful if possible :)
My display got velvet from a frag. I lost 8 fish so far 7 left looking iffy. My question is: how long to leave a display fallow for velvet? I want to keep my cleaner shrimp in there during the fallow period. I also want to eventually restock with just 3 to 5 fish frag style so what fish do jobs well I am looking for algae control, pest control, and aiptasia control? Thank you to anyone who can help.
I can't comment on getting velvet from a frag, I don't know enough about the life cycle of that disease. But for ich, definitely remove any debris and clean up the base of the coral, or better yet remove the frag from the plug - even if it's encrusted, or cut off as much as you can. Once you've groomed the frag or coral, I think one week is enough for any potential spores to hatch, and die out from lack of a host.
For velvet, it's 6 weeks fallow - www.reef2reef.com/threads/fallow-periods-going-fishless.190324/ For frags, they should be kept in a fishlish system for 45 - 76 days humble.fish/community/index.php?threads/coral-invert-quarantine-time-frames.487/ Also, I can confirm what happened to you, as it happened to me too, only it was with a piece of live rock and not a frag. I had setup a new system, cycled it and wanted to add some live rock for color, micro fauna and good bacteria.. well, it brough velvet into my system.
@@Dave-mt6qe thanks ok 6 weeks got it but I still have this wrasse that seems fine and a few fast chromis hanging around. Once I get them out it is fallow until a few days before my birthday so I guess God had a plan afterall.
Just like college, my fish enter QT and look left and look right, and they realize only one in three will graduate. If i’m quarantining mollies, the ratio is more like a navy seal! 😭😭
Anybody else thinks Jake's dark hair phase needs to get upgraded? Lets vote on colours.😏 What you say Jake? You up for it?😆 How about your favourite Angelfish inspired colour?

I'd like to graduate from my quarantine please.
Lol
Great technique for catching the fish from a quarantine tank.
Stunning livestock too.
The decorations in that tank take a little away from the beautiful fish on display.
I think the muted decoration give the fish a place to hide without detracting from them as the main event. But more importantly, they are MUCH easier to clean and don't trap waste that results in nutrient buildup.
IKR, some basic rock structure will make it look a lot more natural, even with no corals. The decoration make it look like a petco tank.
I'm talking about the display the fish were graduated into, not the QT rack.
You did a great job Jake of abstaining in regards to just having a short qt period ensuring the health of the fish and their longevity. So many people don’t take the time to do that. 👍
Haha the trigger was triggered that was great! Man those tanks are really coming together Jake. Keep up the good work dude!
Those fish QT tank stacks look tight to work in! Beautiful fish Jake!
I’m liking the saltwater fish tanks, nice change of pace from full blown reefs. 👍
So tempted to try the fish only system again. Love your videos Jake
“You better not boy “ lol. Very funny.

Nah, the funk I spotted didn't seem of the contagious type
Keep them coming fast. When is part 2 build coming out. Have you done any videos on clams care?
Add a porcupine puffer to your fish only tank, you won't regret it. Super personality and kings of the tank.

My thoughts exactly! 😳
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Any update on cade tank system?
I'm still laying the groundwork for setting up this tank, but will get started VERY soon!
Great vid man!

Glad the saltwater fish tank is going and thriving. I love the reefs tho but showing a FOWLR is cool. Anymore tanks in the studio to setup?
Love your rack system. Are the left and right sides filtered separately?
If you have one 'funky' fish in a side, why would you take other fish out to a display? I'd worry they all might have the funk but not showing it.

you're right, but from experience what I saw is not a contagious concern, more of a little funk on one fish that I want to keep an eye on.
Very nice fish jake....im sure your going to chill later and appreciate those bad boy properly 😉
Kind all day😉kids dont know that one 🍻
Watching you catch those fish gave me flashbacks of catching two rogue shrimp from my reef tank, let’s just say there was a lot more splashing water, swearing, buckets filled with scape and stress then what was exhibited in this video.
Also, is there a preference to use your hands vs. using a net to catch the fish?
My friend Gilbert worships you
We need a full studio tour
The couple times when I have added a new fish to one of my tanks and there is some aggression, I find myself doing the same thing you did and scolding the bully. Makes me feel pretty funny yelling/scolding a fish in a tank lol
Great looking fish! Fun to know all of them too...I remember when each one was introduced!
Excellent Video Jake. I appreciate your capture technique. Too bad the Angel didn't keep his grades up & graduate with his mates. Absolutely love the shirt. Cheers!! :)
Very impressive catches
Thanks for the vid, I think a nice yellow colored fish will look good in the fish only tank.
I have a single Allardi clownfish in my 10 gallon nano reef - great colors, a little skittish, but overall awesome little guy.
Better than my class of 2020 highschool graduation
Hey Jake, so what are your preferred medications and schedule that you follow in quarantine?

That’s a sweet pleco shirt not gonna lie
Singapore Pleco Club reprazent
I love angel fish and these are beautiful.
Ayo Jake, why did you pour in the angels from the middle tank as opposed to scooping them out like the wrasse and clown? Just wondering. Thanks
Hi Jake, I am sure you have said previously but what type of copper do you use and why?? Also, do you ever use Chloroquine Phosphate as an alternative?? And why or why not?? Slightly envious of your Angels, my favourite are Regals, I had three together until I lost them treating for ich. Cheers
I've just always used Cupramine so I stick with what I know
No sand bed for the wrasse?🤔
Are you not worried about the timor wrasse and not having sand?
Nah, he just goes and sleeps under something, only the pure sand diving razorfish really REALLY need sand
@@ReefBuildersVideo my melanarus wrasse is in my frag tank for the past two years (no sand) and he just nestles down for the night in between a couple large colonies of Acans. 😁
Ok cool I had a timor wrasse and she/he always went to the sand at night
Since they are all one system, if the angel has visible ich what would make you think that none of the other fish have ich as well? They are sharing the same water so wouldn't everyone be infected?
It wasn't ich that held back the potters angelfish, just a suspicious discolored patch that I didn't like
How do you go about transferring when your running Copper in qt and transferring to reef tank
Just transfer the netted (or hand caught) fish to an intermediary bucket, with tank water (no copper). Let it swim around for a little bit. Then net (or hand catch) it again, and let it into your DT. Simple 😊
Did you finish the plumbing on that huge tank?
just a couple more finishing touches
With which type of pen can you safely write on your aquarium?
And how can you remove it?
I use a paint pen, it wiped off easily
What happened to the Madagascar damselfish?
Humble fish recommends 30 days of copper treatment to kill ich/velvet. Also no sand for the wrasse?? mine loves hiding in the sand
I assume you are using cupramine for copper?
why do you keep molllies in your tanks?
I saw u get that angle from Murmans
Love the tank. 👍👌
Can we get an update on the nano tank pls
hi fish at 14:26 eye looks cloudy
can these fish only tanks equipped with sand, rock and macro algae? i am a freshwater hobbyist, in the future i want to setup a refugium. With deep sand, rocks, macro algae with some hardy mushrooms? will it be possible to use ADA freshwater light for such tank ? i paid some serious dineros and i want to useful if possible :)
Definitely skip the deep sand bed, no one uses them for anything other than a species biotope for jawfish or garden eels
What brand of copper do you use?
Cupramine
What do you use to test the copper levels ?
Hanna checker
Didn’t even realise Hanna did one I use one called chemetrics awesome videos as always Jake
Do you always have copper below 1ppm?
Yes, typically you don't want it to go above 0.5ppm, even lower for other types of copper solutions
@@ReefBuildersVideo oh Ok because I was following Marine Collector method I beleive and was running 2ppm. Hope Im no overkilling.
@@wilsonlopez8965 i believe thats because its copper power which you are supposed to run at 2.0 or 2.25.
@@marcelrodriguez2067 ok must be that, Im using coppersafe

hey your gaint acro coral how it's doing make a video on it
r e p l a c e m e n t tiger angelfish? thats an ouchie!
I know, and it was a really dumb mistake!
i think the wrasse needs sand to sleep

Just like many of you It takes months for fish in quarantine....lol. Im betting 95% dont do that.
