In this episode of Mr Saltwater Tank Reacts, Mark tours an INSANE fish room from Reefer Jacob. Join us as we check out everything from the mixing station, to the refugium, to the immaculate plumbing, including an AMAZING custom control station complete with emergency power panel. We'll also take a look at how this reefer handles emergency prevention with his frag tank and quarantine tanks for both fish and coral.
If you would like to see your tank featured on a MR SWT Reacts video, there are 2 ways to contact us.

Don’t know if it will come across in the videos. The system I built wasn’t intended to be the “standard” or ideal back room. I enjoy working back there. I built it for my own enjoyment. I built almost everything in the back room from scratch because I just enjoy building. There are obviously pumps, skimmers, etc that were purchased. But, I built every counter surface and shelf from scratch with cheapo Formica and particle board. Most of the acrylic work I picked up used and modified or built from scratch. I spent three months plumbing the system after work, on weekends, on vacation time. Three months building acrylic. Six months completing the woodwork on the front end of the display room. What might not come across in the videos is the amount of sweat equity that I invested in the system amounting to over a year before the tank saw water. Yes, the pumps, plumbing, and raw materials are a significant investment as some have noted. We all have to identify our own goals in the hobby. My goal isn’t just a nice display. I enjoy the back end as much if not more than the display. It’s my outlet for creativity on my own terms. I spend a majority of my time self-employed as a woodworker trying to make other people’s projects come together. This project is all on my own terms. It was mentioned that I don’t need “all that crap” in the back room. That’s true to a large extent. I’ve seen over-the-top systems that are complete failures. I’ve seen bare-bones systems that are outstanding. Fair point. Good thing I didn’t build the system for you. I would have failed miserably. I built it for me and I’m a happy customer. I never impose my own methodologies on others. There are a lot of successful approaches to this hobby and I’m constantly trying to improve my own. This was my blank canvas to experiment with custom electronics, plumbing, and various additional tanks like a display refugium with mangroves, sea grass, and pipe fish (currently coming together). I appreciate all of the positive comments and accept the negative. I wish you all the best in the hobby.

You should be proud of what you accomplished. Thank you for letting us have a tour of you amazing set up. It's clear that you love the hobby and that constructing this "back end" was an outlet for you and was what you needed to accomplish your end goal in the hobby. It's great when you possess the skills to make that happen. You not only get to enjoy your display tank but you can spend time in the back enjoying the fruit of your labor with your frag tanks, QT's, sumps, etc. Good for you man!

Outstanding! Jacob, I am building a new home and designing a fish room. I am wondering what, if anything, you do for humidity control in your fish room? My tank (6' x 3' x 2.5') will be in the fish room with only the front panel visible from the family room. I am thinking about keeping the fish room ~78 deg f with a radiator run off of our hydronic heating system. My thought is if the room is a similar temp to the tank then the evaporation will be less, but I am worried about humidity. Any thoughts? .... and yes, the tank room video should be 1hr+!

@jacobhall4812 4 жыл бұрын

Captain BP&J That is my refugium. It was massively redesigned a few weeks after filming. I cleaned up the algae and put in a deep sand bed. I planted more mangroves and sea grass. I will introduce pipe fish once the system normalizes again. Then it will really just be an additional display for some different fish. I want it to look like a coastal / tidal zone. In honesty, I’m not sure if pipe fish are endemic to coastal areas but I know they’ll enjoy the tank. If you’re not familiar with a refugium, many people use it to grow algae which uses excess nutrients in the water column to grow (from decaying food, fish poo, etc.). That algae can be removed. It also provides a space for copepods, amphipods, and other critters to proliferate which theoretically make their way back into the display where they become a part of the food chain.

Money issues aside, who are all these reefers who seem to have all this plumbing/electrical expertise? And what about those of us who don't. Whose expertise can we draw upon to create our own fish rooms?

@jacobhall4812 4 жыл бұрын

Stacey Gianoplos I have skimmed through endless build threads since 2000. I took note of ideas from rock structure to plumbing and organization. I also made a lot of mistakes in previous tanks that I tried to correct in this one. I was sketching drawings of this system in a notebook while in military briefings back in 2005 and didn’t break ground on this build until 2015. I had one tank after active duty in 2009 that was successful but I didn’t have the resources or space to dial it up to “11” as Spinal Tap says. That changed with the new house / new job. Some people like to point out how unnecessary the electronics are to build a reef aquarium. That’s a fair point. In reality, I have a sump, skimmer, and return pumps. I have a lot of internal water flow and appropriate lighting. I have a Ca reactor due to the high Calcium demands. It doesn’t have to be complicated. What doesn’t come through in the videos is that my system is actually simple. The complication comes from all of my contingency plans. The ability to isolate every tank in the system and run each tank stand-alone complicates the build and plumbing but also makes the system more modular and resilient. That’s something most aquarium systems don’t need. Maybe I don’t need it but I’ve rescued multiple tanks for other people because that option was in place. (Received an SOS late at night due to a house fire. “I’ll be there in the morning and grab what I can...). The generator panel, the additional electronics, etc could all fail tomorrow and I’d still be able to function at a normal level. I have reactors for carbon and GFO I rarely use. I planned for the future and can react as needed because the hard work was put in far in advance. There is a cost/benefit analysis that starts to happen once you scale up the volume of the system. My background besides engineering was the military. I don’t accept failure as an option. So, I built the system to reflect my personality. If someone wants to call that over-engineered that’s fine with me. I know I’m ready to face most challenges we all face in the hobby. Please don’t let the videos intimidate you. A successful reef doesn’t require an engineering degree and doesn’t require a computer (Apex). A simple monitor is good for monitoring parameters if nothing else. The rest is just nice to have. If possible, find a local hobbyist that can mentor you and/or build a relationship with a trusted local shop. I support a local shop as much as possible even when I can buy it cheeper from BRS. They are an invaluable source of good information and support through the good times and bad.
