“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

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

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. 👍

Awesome work Jake!!!

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

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!

super usefull, thanks Reefbuilders!

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!

Good point on filtering fresh salt water definitely take that on

Super fantastic video sir...

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.

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

Nice setup! I’m jealous!

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!

Solid as a rock

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

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

Definitely interested in a good quick connect.

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

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!

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

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

Very cool

Awesome tip on filtering the salt water!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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!)

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?

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

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

Do you have a parts list for the plumbing?

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

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?

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

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

Where did I you get the fitting

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

Who else just loves Jake Adams?

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

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.

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

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

Couldnt you use the the M1 for circulation?

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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. 😃

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

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.

Just for another five dollars, get the free poster.

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

👏👏👏👏🆒

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.
