“For another 5$ get a free poster”😂

Quality is the attention to the fine details and you've got that covered thanks for sharing Jake

It's nice to see more specific topical videos like this, it's cool to really understand the thought that goes behind each piece / decision. 👍

Really nice setup Jake. Clearly very well thought out. Love it, thanks so much for showing us.

Very nice setup on the mixing station. There are a couple of things I would consider. At some point you will want to get in there through the top to be able to scrub out the 210 gallon tanks. Using the filter sock is a real nice touch that I am sure will extend the length of time in between cleanings but eventually the tanks will need to be scrubbed out/ cleaned. It is not always a fun job getting up on a ladder but I would start thinking about ways to clean it safely. Love your videos! Even something as simple as this one. I can always appreciate the work behind operating a large gallery of fish tanks and the way you set things up to make life easier. Keep them coming Jake!

Awesome work Jake!!!

super usefull, thanks Reefbuilders!

Always great to see a new video. Greatest hobby keeps me busy

Good point on filtering fresh salt water definitely take that on

Nice! I only have one tank, but mixing water is the thing making me neglect maintenance. I have RO water storage, but need some mixing storage. This inspired me for a winter project for sure. Nice work!

Those vats woooow they are beautiful....I love mixing vats, I have a hexagonal acrylic one I made and have been a happier reefer since.

Filtering the mix with a sock is actually brilliant. Never even thought about that. However I can confirm that on occasion even the more “cleaner salt” like Red Sea and even Brightwell have occasionally left a very gritty residue that I could only describe as a rock that’s been ground to dust and of course won’t dissolve in water.

Thank you for showing the final product on the water vats looks sharp. Love the stand too. What would be cool is if you did a video on how you filter the salt. That would be helpful to see for someone new to the hobby. I appreciate all your videos and input and I hope you're having a great day!

Super fantastic video sir...

Et voilà comment rendre de l'eau intéressante !!! Merci Jake ... 👍👍👍

Hey Jane, amazing videos and the water storage great. I'm looking to buy a smaller storage for mixing.

Damn bro you gave an awesome idea to filter the water before put it in the fish tank, while is mixing is a good thing to filtered at the same time. Thank you!

Cam lever couplers are the best large quick connect/disconnet fittings

Nice setup! I’m jealous!

Jake I am going to need a Reef Builders Soundtrack asap. Thanks. :)

Nice setup! But I would add a support too the pipe whit the hose fitting so you don´t put too much stress on the pipes when you walking around whit the hose in the studio and filling the tanks.

Solid as a rock

Looks sharp man, only took a year to place and set 😆

Rather than using the filter sock, just plumb an inline 10" filter housing before the garden hose hook up and change the 5 micron pleated filters when they get dirty. Best thing I did to my mixing station. Still have to clean the barrels once in a while but at least the precipitate doesn't end up in the display tank. Great video.

I just picked up a 110 gallon full drain cone tank. No freight! Planning on getting another one to redesign my mixing station.

Use camlocks man... quick disconnects but may drip a little but big hose and faster water change!

I really wish I had the space to build something like that, I'm stuck with 7 gallon barrels under my stairs haha!

Do you mix the water first then pump it into the vat? Great video, I'm on the look out for some decent vats in the uk.

How about some coral, fish etc videos. Discussing what is going on with the fish, the hobby. What’s new. How to choose keep and raise fish and corals and anemones etc.

How were you cycling the made salt water through the filter sock and how long after mixing it together in the tub did you start?

Hey Jake, I've been dealing with silicates for the last year and besides burning through Sera Marine media haven't found a solution. How is working for you and where can I source?

One quick question as I'm using this as inspiration, Why the valve at the top (coming off pump) for the RO/Freshwater tank? I get the Valve at the top for the SW Tank but was unsure why you might need to move water? from the SW tank, over to the RO/FW tank? (THANKS!)

Hey Jake, where did you find that quick disconnect fitting on your water vat? Any chance you have a link to it? Thanks.

Awesome tip on filtering the salt water!

I want to see how you plan on getting an MP40 at the bottom of that tank, and how you plan on removing the wetside for periodic maintenance. Long line fishing? :D

Definitely interested in a good quick connect.

Hello @ReefBuilders Jake, I have a question I have purchased 2 vertical water storage tanks brand new. How would you recommend to clean them out before use??? Im afraid there is mold release agent and just dust or dirt. I heard bleach, distilled vinegar none antibacterial dish soap? Thank you so much in advance

Whats the micron value of the filter sock your using? That's such a great solution !!!!

Very cool

Great video-1 question though- you said you filter your salt, but where is it mixed with the RO before it’s filtered into your salt water storage tank?

Hey Jake, did you look into "Gardena" Stuff?? They have really much for garden work, but im not sure if you can get them at your location or over the salty pond...much pond guys using the gardena stuff for their filters.

I'm really hopeful you have a ticket for coral freaks in Harlow UK on 5e 12th of this month.

I use the quick connect fittings sold on brs. They are the best imho.

I want to see your filter sock experiment with Fauna marin reef pro, it is supposed to be mega clean. Nice vat setup, I have a similar setup and love it.

There are lots of different fittings if you google banjo fittings and valves. I use them on my mixing station

Which float valve did you go with? Great content. Keep it coming!!!

Really nice set up bro. Question. How do you “ filter your salt” ? Do you add it to the filter sock and run the RO through it?

The poster isn't free if you have to pay another $5.00. Lol.

Hi Jack Adams. A while ago did not see you ?? 😁

Do you have a parts list for the plumbing?

Start a tank with no water changes, it's best there is 👌💪

Nice setup. Where did you get the storage tanks from? It's hard to find them tall, skinny, with a large opening on top.

Where did I you get the fitting

How many gallons per hour does your tap water go through your filter

Salt stacked under a possible water holding tank, think on condensing or leaking?

Aren't you worried your tapwater quality might vary? My town has tapwater with TDS of 1 and I still have to use rodi or will get hair algae.

Get a T-shirt and for another $5 get a FREE poster? So the poster isn’t free then? It’s $5 😂

Try on msc direct they have lots of options that might satisfy your needs. That’s where I got mine from if I can find the part number I’m updated the comment for you.

Who else just loves Jake Adams?

Couldnt you use the the M1 for circulation?

Is it me or is the audio off a bit? Could just be my wireless headphones.

Jake, I think it'd be cool if you did 3-5 day intensives at your facility. Anybody else agree? I'd pay to learn and hang out for a couple days. 😃

Great setup Jake! Can you tell me the quick disconnect fittings you are using? Thanks!

Just for another five dollars, get the free poster.

Beats my 40 gallon brute of RODI then I mix 10 gallons of saltwater when I need it in a 10 gallon brute . But Space is my #1 Enemy

Bulkreefsupply has some really nice cam-level disconnects that do not reduce down like the one you are using. Not sure if they are sealing though (valved, as you say). www.bulkreefsupply.com/pumps-plumbing/plumbing/quick-connect-fittings.html

You can purchase a t-shirt and just for another $5 dollars get a "free" poster. LOL

Work with reefteez more closely, there is no size guide for the Tee for buyer. Sent them a email earlier this week, got no respond from them.

Ok that filter sock was nasty. I know you kept saying "a 1000 gallons" went through it as if that's a lot. But my return pumps easily push 1000 gallons every hour, and if my filter socks looked that color after 1 hour I would worry about the quality of my water. I like your water system with one major problem, those valves at the top, they seem to be very high up and inaccessible unless you had a ladder, or step stool. But I agree, having water ready to go is so convenient, it makes doing water changes, top offs, heck just cleaning stuff with RO/DI water (even though you don't do have that) just so much easier, and if it's easy you will tend to do it more and not slack off.

👏👏👏👏🆒

Not enough unions....

gotta love the guy that blows thousands on plastic containers and pumps then tries to sell people posters and tshirts to pay for it.
