Appreciate everyone tuning in for the build! Be sure to subscribe we have more work to do 💪🏾💯 #BeEazy

Hey man, just wanted to say I really appreciate this series. Your style and quality of videos is perfect. No obnoxious intros, well shot, very clear communication (and a pleasant voice too!), lots of useful information and tips... Great stuff!

best explanation ever for a rookie like me

Like 359! This build is coming out fantastic!

Great video. He's back😊

Highly reccomend the Neptune SKY light. I bet 1 is all you need!

Looking good CJ👍

10:30 yes, always go with gate valve. Ball valves are just not adjustable enough. Its a hard pill to swallow spending $60-75 on 1 valve but its vitally important for tuning

That’s what’s up … CJ …. Welcome back to the Hobby Bro…

Wow CJ your back I feel like building again …

Good to have you back man. I won't lie when I saw your face on an earlier episode I was like... This dude is Quandre Diggs? But the GB hat doesn't mesh with that lol

Great Information !

Just a thought 💭 maybe put a piece of egg crate light diffuser or something like that over the full siphon drain so if something like a snail makes it back it can't get stuck in the drain 🤔

Looking good .🐟

HES BACK!

Great job man

Welcome back cj🎉

I am hooked on your videos. So detailed. Will definitively subscribe and follow. Since I want the same tank in the future. Learning a lot from you. Thank you for sharing.

Lovin’ the vids, appreciate ya

Looking good 👌🏻 👏🏻🙌🏼

Dope video. Yeah I found your channel last year. And I seen the videos had said 2-3 years ago. But you bac in full effect. ✊🏾 I’m too excited fam lol

Great video my guy 🔥🤘🏾

what a sleek setup! I've been out of the game for 2yrs, my tank exploded. it was a nano thank god, but have not had the heart to get back in. now you've got me motivated.

welcome back cj its been a long time since2019 awesome video i cant wait for the nxt one

As always a clean and professional setup. That blue and white really pops off even though it’s plumbing. Great video CJ and welcome back.

Great info here bro 💪🏻🤙🏻👊🏻🍻

Keep rolling, keep making content, and we’ll all watch.

YOU'RE BACK! Ok I gotta stop this video right here and go find the others. You are one of the reasons I left fresh for salt, so I'm very glad to see you back in the game. 👊

Cool and informative videos. Subscribed :)

Everything looks good. After 3 years you have not missed a beat.

Coooool video

That looks like its for your santa monica algae scrubber lol same one I have.

wow you are back! been watching this channel for 8 years. welcome back

very nice

Watched all three videos, love the new build. Please help me release the copy right strike and then I can start with my new build.

Water Test and fully plumbed on episode 3!?!!! 🌊🌊🌊 IN MOTION! 🏆🏆🏆

I forgot to mention my 2 cents you should do a Radion 6 they talk about the amazing spread of that light! I'm trying to pick from either that or a kissel. Maybe strip lights. Loving every minute of this build 🎉❤

Very clean install CJ and welcome back.

Welcome back CJ , being following your video since day one ... keep it up & cheers!

Back on track!. I have Learned a lot from you I'm still reefing since 2016. Now reached to growing sps !. Thx for all the info I got from you keep it up !

I like how you went through every scenario what would happen. That is great that you don't need a check valve IM have thought it out. That sump is amazing I agree it has all the bells and whistles if you ever want to add anything. I've been wanting to upgrade to CADE but man after seeing your build so far with IM they are on the list.

Looking like a good start!

Definitely would rock the orphek lights on this tank..

FANTASTIC!!! Great to see you back at it man really good to see ya. I’m on my way back too. Keep the vids coming

Off to the races! I should be plumbing up mine soon as well! Let’s go!

Having the potential UV T’d off where you have it will effect the flow on that return line. So makes putting the tee for the returns right in the middle redundant. Very nice build and good to see you back.

Keep these videos coming!

I’m lucky - having the basement sump, all 3 drain lines are straight shots, no angles. Generates a ton of gas exchange when that water flow slams down into the filter box. 😁

Loving the regular uploads mate. Been here since the jbj days. Hope your well cj 👌

Look at the ai blade grow and glow

Have you seen that Bulk Reef Supply provides this with all the plumbing kit as well, no need to buy pVC fittings, etc….

So glad to see you back in the hobby. Im running a bean animal on my 240g display tank. Are you going to run some sort of strainer on the drain lines to prevent snails or fish from going down into the sump or is not an issue with your setup. I wish I ran a few power loss tests during my set up. We lost power during an ice storm a couple years ago. Then the power company decided to cycle power on for 1 hour and off for 45 min. I quickly discovered I had the water level in my sump set too high. I also discovered the value of backup power supply (aka generator) Argh! The water stains on the wood floors buffed out after a few tries. LOL. All in all, really good to see you back. You were one of the few "no BS" guys I followed for tips and advice. I look forward to future videos.

You should definitely get a UV sterilizer. I use them on both of my tanks and wouldn’t have a tank without one.

Thanks sharing this amazing build. I'm setting up the same system right now so this has been super helpful. Quick Question: What is the overflow in the skimmer section?

Really cool! Not a reefer myself but I want to be. Now that’s the plumbing is done, are you going to do the aquascape with the water already inside or are you planning on draining the tank and refilling? This is the first tank plumbing video that I’ve actually really enjoyed watching. Looking forward to the next part!

Just foind your series and this is fantastic!!! Shout out to Reef Dork for pointing the way. I'm following along / taking notes for a new reef tank (only done a FOWLR and a HOB filter about 15 years ago). You mention tweaking things until the flow is correct/ silent. What (and how) exactly are you making adjustments to dial that in?

Great job plumbing the tank. What size pipes did you use? 1”? I’m looking to do something similar and know those pipes in the back of the EXT are 1”.

you could have used a coupler instead of a union to fix your crooked pipe it would be cheaper and not as bulky

Ood morning cj ,,,,,, lovely plumbing buikd ,,,, can you tell.me the sizes of your drain pipes and return pipes please buddy ,, and loving the blue

If I were you, then I would use two random flow generators instead of the stock ones that come with them. This should add more surface agitation and more random flow (hence the name) which will just make the flow more random and natural.

Where did you find the gate valve I can’t find it

Hey cj so if I use the Oatey fusion all in one I don’t have to buy anything else? Just use that to glue fittings to pipes? No primier?

Messed up on my gluing and going to have to restart. How did you make even cuts ? And how do you keep the plumbing level?

Im planning to buy either the EXT 50 or 75 but afraid of the 75 weight being 250LBS. Was it really difficult lifting this tank onto the stand?

What return pump are you using?

How much feet of piping do you end up using?

How is that Innovative Marine return pump?

Is there anyway to clean some of the pvc glue off the pipes that is safe to do?

What tool did you use to cut the pvc pipes?

How many inches is the front of the tank from the wall?

How long did you wait till you put water in after gluing the pvc?

So got got rid of the jbj aio 60?

Which water pump are you using ?

Hey cj anyway I can get your contact info that way I can get help with my plumbing on innovative marine 112 EXT
