Love your channel. I really look forward to seeing the progress of your endeavor. I think it would be neat to see a small tank simply dedicated to reef aquarium pests. Collect them as you encounter them, and it would be a nice educational tool for hobbyists. Even a tank of macro algae would be cool too.
I have been doing this for a while, I have been using a syringe and just spraying water at the coral with that. I never realised there was a actual machine for it !
Great concept. I have always wanted something like this for my tank. I would use it for coral and for cleaning under rocks. Pushing out any accumulation under the rocks while doing the water change. It would of course need to have variable speeds .
That works surprisingly well ! I will have to invest in one. I can never seem to get into the aqua clear HOB intakes to remove the algae. I think this will work great. Thanks for the tip man !
Dang! I got these guys two weeks ago! I have 5% left of a mature colony and I think the water pick would’ve been perfect..... Great idea though and gonna pick one up!
Hey Jake, love your videos. Can you elaborate on the super glue method? I have a few of these guys on a coral that is attached to a rock in my tank that I cannot remove. Thanks!
Wondering a few things... 1) Why do it under the water? Would you not get better pressure if you were not having to "push" through the water? 2) Why not use fresh water instead of sw? I know people dip corals/live rock in fresh water to remove some pests... kind of a 2 for 1 if using fresh?
Might work well, but only in a separate tank/bucket. Never in your display. If it shreds their flesh you will spread them! Maybe this is obvious to you, but I want to warn anyone to the risk!
Sounds likes a really great idea, but it doesn't eradicate the Aiptasia polyp - it just reduces into lots of little pieces which grow back into many more unwanted pest anemones.
I have a outbreak of aiptasia I'm still trying to decide how I want to treat it. I was thinking maybe peppermint shrimp or aiptasia eating nudi but I saw sustainable aquatic are selling Molly blennies that they claim will eat it.
Hi Jake. Just picked up one to remove some sponges that have grown onto som of my Frogspawn colonies. Great advice! You mentioned that you add Lugols to the water, is it the normal 40 drops/gallon that is recomended for dipping or do you use a stronger dosage?
Hey Jake on the minute 4:39 there is four sprays behind you that they looks stainless steel, I remember in one of you many video talking about them that were coming on amazon, can you throw m a link on those stainless steel sprays please Thank you! , great work man
The dips dont work on the eggs of those little devils. It takes several dips with nasty chemicals. When you dip such a large colony it's also more difficult to rinse them off and you're more likely to leech that crap into your DT.
colonies from mature displays and experienced friends - trust me I WANT to treat every coral that comes in but there were a ton last week, and dipping wouldn't have removed the Nudi eggs anyway. But the displays are what counts, the corals will go through another protocol before they go into bonafide reef tanks.
I’m still some what new to the hobby and I am wondering if the waterpik would help get rid of the white stringy sponge that I have growing on my coral? Any tips would be great.
Does the salt water reduce the life of the Waterpik? Seems like the easiest solution is just to throw the whole coral into a small bucket with some Bayer's and call it a day.
I've had one angelfish eat nudis, no wrasses, and wrasses only want to eat the big ones, and they can't get deep into the corals to eradicate an infestation.
Check out the new video by Mile High Reefers for an update on the progress of the Studio overall: ua-cam.com/video/o3noPoa3WNk/v-deo.html
Mile high is such an awkward dude. But it's a great tour of your new studio can't wait to see it take shape over the next year
Awesome idea Jake! Keep it up! Studio is looking great!

I had a nano for Aiptasia back in the day, that was enough.
Awsome video. I like how you think outside the box. Appreciate the information. And all you do.
I have been doing this for a while, I have been using a syringe and just spraying water at the coral with that. I never realised there was a actual machine for it !
Love how you brought that trick out for people to know about it. Jose Casas tought me that trick years ago...
Great concept. I have always wanted something like this for my tank. I would use it for coral and for cleaning under rocks. Pushing out any accumulation under the rocks while doing the water change. It would of course need to have variable speeds .
Good Ideas ! You mentioned something about quarantining a clean up crew once . Would like 6o see a follow up . Good Work !
Great vid Jake! Always good to know that our local stores except LFS has some purpose for our hobby!
That works surprisingly well ! I will have to invest in one. I can never seem to get into the aqua clear HOB intakes to remove the algae. I think this will work great. Thanks for the tip man !
Great video brother and two videos with you in one day awesome. Jake for the win
Great vid to watch whilst I do Sunday tank maintenance! The studios looking great now 👍
this is going to be awesome!! Gotta visit Jake at the studio one day!
Great idea that looks like it will do the trick, looking good.
Great Vid man! Awesome Idea! I could definitely find a lot of uses for that water pic in this hobby.
That’s an awesome tip Jake, can see many uses for one of those! Might need to try that out 😊
Haha nice. Good idea to use the water pik. Never thought of that before.
hahaha so awesome That idea crossed my mind a few times as i was cleaning my teeth! awesome to see someone actually do it! :P
Thank you for introducing this effective tool!
Awesome vid... You need some safety glasses though especially if your using the tank water
you're right! We should always use safety glasses when doing this kind of work.
Hello, I find your video very interesting.
Thank you to you for continuing your passion and your knowledge.
Greetings ;)
Dang! I got these guys two weeks ago! I have 5% left of a mature colony and I think the water pick would’ve been perfect..... Great idea though and gonna pick one up!
Thanks for the tip..definitely going to try this.
Awesome, what a wicked idea.
You’re awesome dude More vids pls
Nice tool
You can get a waterpik that is adjustable, have it turned all the way down and it shouldn't mess with the coral tissue
Simple ideas sometimes gives the biggest impact....
That was so satisfying to watch
Brilliant!!
Hey Jake, love your videos. Can you elaborate on the super glue method? I have a few of these guys on a coral that is attached to a rock in my tank that I cannot remove. Thanks!
RIP buddy !
Amazing video quality
Jeeze, those buggers are big,
Wondering a few things... 1) Why do it under the water? Would you not get better pressure if you were not having to "push" through the water? 2) Why not use fresh water instead of sw? I know people dip corals/live rock in fresh water to remove some pests... kind of a 2 for 1 if using fresh?
Out of water the jet will spray everywhere, it’s plenty strong submerged, and I can better see what I am doing.
Very cool thanks for posting.
Jake! Can you maybe starting linking the music that you use in the description for each video?
Working on an overarching strategy to put playlists together on UA-cam, SoundCloud and Spotify.
That's a great idea. I wonder how it would do with aiptasia...have you tried mixing some coral rx the pik?
Might work well, but only in a separate tank/bucket.
Never in your display. If it shreds their flesh you will spread them! Maybe this is obvious to you, but I want to warn anyone to the risk!
would probably just make a mess, hopefully I will keep craptaisia out of the studio altogether
I saw people using a blue laser to kill aptaisia. From outside the tank, right through the glass.
Sounds likes a really great idea, but it doesn't eradicate the Aiptasia polyp - it just reduces into lots of little pieces which grow back into many more unwanted pest anemones.
I have a outbreak of aiptasia I'm still trying to decide how I want to treat it. I was thinking maybe peppermint shrimp or aiptasia eating nudi but I saw sustainable aquatic are selling Molly blennies that they claim will eat it.
Top tip Jake
Jake, how about using coral rx in the water and wash the buggers off..??
Nice tip Jake. This is what we need. Now find a cure for ick and Velvet. More people would stay in hobby.
Hi Jake. Just picked up one to remove some sponges that have grown onto som of my Frogspawn colonies. Great advice! You mentioned that you add Lugols to the water, is it the normal 40 drops/gallon that is recomended for dipping or do you use a stronger dosage?

I think they’re called pump bottles for hand soap
Best reef channel on UA-cam! Nice vídeo Jake!

The content has been steadily ramping up in the last year or two, but the channel has been around for some time.
How could you not dip if you're taking in a bunch of big and used colonies? It's a brand new studio Jake...amateur move.
The dips dont work on the eggs of those little devils. It takes several dips with nasty chemicals. When you dip such a large colony it's also more difficult to rinse them off and you're more likely to leech that crap into your DT.

But the displays are what counts, the corals will go through another protocol before they go into bonafide reef tanks.
What material is the buddha statue made of? I wnna add a statue to my tank but i dont know which materials will be safe.
I’m still some what new to the hobby and I am wondering if the waterpik would help get rid of the white stringy sponge that I have growing on my coral? Any tips would be great.
I wouldn’t worry about sponge in your tank.
Love the updates. What are the tiles you're using to grow out some frags?
Cheap limestone tiles from hardware store.
Your video is super fantastic show everyone....
Does the salt water reduce the life of the Waterpik?
Seems like the easiest solution is just to throw the whole coral into a small bucket with some Bayer's and call it a day.
How are you cranking so much out!!?
just turn the dial up to 11
Good idee
Can I use it to remove an anemone from the rock
I wouldn’t.
why not just dip?
Doesn’t work for the lil ones
Video needs a longer into and more sponsors.
In all seriousness. Love your content. Intro 20 seconds of logos every vid gets old if you are binge watching.
That's why i try to spice it up every time and it's a small price to pay for free videos ;-)
Question Do coral dip don’t work with this type of pets
?
Revive should kill the adults but not the eggs (so you either have to dip frequently, use something stronger, or remove eggs via different method).
what Exopman said
Dude do you make your own beats or what u have the best music..
If you like this kind of music you should check out lo fi hip hop or the channel on UA-cam called steezyaf it has a ton of good beats similar to these
Is this cheaper than a wrasse?
I've had one angelfish eat nudis, no wrasses, and wrasses only want to eat the big ones, and they can't get deep into the corals to eradicate an infestation.
cool!!!!☺️
Tried to be first but forgot how to spell it
It was so satisfying watching those bastards fly off.
Used corals 🤣
special kind of person lmfao
I prefer to use a straw and have a quick snack sluurrpp mmm
\
I hate the music you use on these video's!
Hate is a pretty strong word dontcha think?
I think it’s nicely matched.
