It has been a year since we met comedian Violet Jones and looked at her 55-gallon reef tank. Since he was in California, Vic decided to pop out for a visit to see how her reef tank is doing. Victor and Violet sit down to discuss her upgrade to a 155-gallon tank, finding deals on Facebook Marketplace, and Violet's cost conscious, DIY approach to reefing. There are a lot of good tips, and laughs, for hobbyists of all levels in this episode.

What an incredible tank! The rockscape looks so natural. It's a perfect balance of negative space. Plus the long + shallow tank size is on point. It looks like a much bigger tank. 💯💯💯💯

Great video but gave me an idea for a new series. Something informational to help newer reefers. Maybe Vic and WWC could check out some new reefer's tanks and give them advice for what they're doing wrong and how to succeed. People do crazy things and could be quite entertaining!

What time you go to sleep grandma!!! 😂😂😂 Tank looks great. Two things I would change. I would scrape that coralline. Tank would instantly look 300% better and the best part….it only costs a few ounces of elbow grease. Other thing is that skimmer. I have one. It is small for that tank. That being said that is not my gripe. My gripe is that once you use a Octo with the DC Varios pump you will never think about using an AC pump ever again. I completely understand the “on the cheap” aspect of this tank but that is one area I wouldn’t cut corners. The DC Octo’s are soooooo good. Overall this tank is lit. Only going to get better with time. Great job!!! Vic cracking jokes…..I love it!!!

I was wondering why you went with a chiller instead of just a couple of fans for evaporative cooling? I’m in southern ca also and added some fans this summer when my tank was overheating, it works surprisingly well. I was wondering if you already tried that and it wasn’t strong enough?

@calisky7342 9 ай бұрын

I think it also depends on your location in So CA and how hot summer gets. I am also in So Cal and used to use fans. My house doesn't have the ac and when we traveled in August a few years ago and left the windows shut, the tank got way too hot and I lost some corals. Did not want to risk in any more and got a chiller. There are summers I don't even turn it on. Like so far this summer my chiller stays off. Was is worth it to buy it? Yes!, such a piece of mind, I never know how hot summer will get or when I end up traveling.

@dusk1947 9 ай бұрын

She won me with her opening comment: "As you know, we love a budget"... Thank you for including that. I find it odd how so many video's of reef tanks omit that part or ignore it completely. Sure, we all love a beautiful tank. But affording one, is often a multi-year project. Few of us can just turn around and put a 5 or 6 figure tank in. Long-term planning and budgeting is a point I can not only relate to, I really appreciate seeing in video's. Second, the tank looks great. Young, but great. Well done Ms. Jones.

Unless it’s taken apart and re put back together. The main inner seal is not changed . So you putting new silicone on the inner Seam is not rebuilt. It’s a bandaid. Good luck.
