RIP Jake, you will always be a legend in our hearts

Genuine Soul been a reefer for a year and it's crazy how fast things change. Definitely appreciated him and it's knowledge taught me well & still teaching 🎩🥀🖤

North American reef mecca brought to you by Jake Adams and reef builders! Sick tank! Great video as always!

My wife remembers you from the Houston reef currents event. She said to tell you thank you for being so extremely nice and willing to answer questions.

Jake, always creative man!! This is a one-of-a-kind setup. Good work!!

Imagine what it'll look like once the trees grow out and the clams get bigger

Can't wait to see the tank. I recently started my first reef tank last month, its a 30 gallon rectangular tank (measures 30 by 16) and I was wondering on where I should be placing my MP40 for optimal flow. Currently I have about 20 lbs of live rock, a cleaner shrimp, and a pair of clowns. Thank you!

Really like this idea. This is a really different approach.

Looking awesome brother!

Can't wait. Love this channel

Wow this mangrove tank looks great want to setup a similar tank with mangrove,clams and some coral

I am sup-excited about this tank. Great concept and something I have thought about trying for a few years now. So I am going to watch closely and get my knowledge up there before I try one my self. Thanks Jake

Looks great!! Mollies?? Insane!!

It looks amazing, Jake!!!

Beautiful Jake, well done!

Thanks for the love Jake!

Can't wait! Reminds me of cancun xel ha mangrove river experience

What a cool tank! Nicely done.

Absolutely beautiful!

Merci pour cette vidéo et tu as fini par faire un aquarium mangrove comme je t'en avais parlé l'année dernière !!! 👏👏👏

What's up brother, the tank turned out spectacular. Awesome job with the continuous drain plumbing. The fish, mangroves, lighting...all go very well together, great info here THANKS !

I’m so excited!

You should find a way to set the ATO up to a misting system that would spray down the mangroves......

I love it so beautiful and natural looking 👍

Man I really love this setup

Man I love this style! This is my dream tank. The new 180 gal rimless lagoon tank is coming in one month :) keep those vids posted!

Man, this is a sweet build.

Such a sweet looking tank!

Tank looks great! I’m excited to see it progress. You should look at installing a MistKing style mister to rinse the leaves down. I run one on a vivarium and if I could figure out how to contain the mist-I would love to try it on my mangroves.

The mangroves remind me of my favorite place in the world, the FL Keys 😁

Looks super sharp

J.A. great tank setup and love the place out come. I would like to see and know more about your molly's fish. Can you make a video on them. How to get them into saltwater, do they breed in that water and what food you give them. There are many videos on this fish, but not detailed enough. Thanks man.

Man I love your vids. So jazzy

You're probably going to want spotlighting for the mangroves as they get super tall. I doubt they'll get enough from the window but they'll probably wind up looking spectacular with some under lighting/spotlighting. It's an awesome tank. Makes me really want to get into clams and mangroves.

I love that tank, but I LOVE those Mollies even more!

Very beautiful.....love it 👍👍

This is one of the best uses of mangroves I've ever seen in an aquarium. The light produced by the Philips CoralCare looks pretty darn good on film. Yeah, I'm biased, but it's still true. :-)

Those Molly’s are so nice

Thank you for the tour of your Mangrove Lagoon🙌 Would like to do a Mangrove Lagoon, but sadly think there are restrictions on collecting/growing Mangroves here in Australia.

Super fantastic saltwater aquarium sir.........Thanks for sharing video again.... one day I would love come check out your stories and how fantastic stuff you did... Thanks again sir. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Hello, Jake, love your videos. I have been wondering for a while, how do you acclimate your mollies into saltwater?

This inspired me to set up a saltwater tank and add a mangrove sapling

Hey Jake, where did you get the temperature display you have for this tank. I like how you can see through it.

Looks nice 👍

wow it is beautiful

Very cool setup I’d love to do something similar :)

Love your hipopus clam

Cant wait to see the update video!

I love this tank

Just beautiful....nuf said.

Love this tank. I've been thinking about getting some more mangroves for some time. I haven't kept them in years. The pods generally ship well right? I vaguely recall the ones I kept years ago spending quite some time in transit. I can't get any locally so just want to make sure they don't necessarily need to be sent overnight express. Also love the Scopas! I have a yellow one as well but he has a grey tail. I choose him over a completely yellow (not quite as bright as this one) so it's more obvious he is not a yellow tang but could still be mistaken by someone not too familiar with fish.

I love the mistery wrass and the leopard wrass

Awesome tank, I think it'd be cool if you built some sort of rockscape to hide the pots and put coral on.

Need to see a video of mollies...they look so beautiful

I miss you brother but you are in a better place now 😢

Love this tank design. Gonna do the same to my 60g new tank design. What is that cool temp monitor on the bottom left of your DT?!

Love your videos and your channel but it sure would be nice if you would put links in the description of products you mention. I can't seem to find the Philips coralcare, where can we purchase them in the US? Also do you have a video on your philosophy on sand bed - not sand bed?

Any chance on an update of this tank to see the mangroves now?

Where can I get that stick on thermometer you have on the bottom left corner of the tank? Thanks!

I am going to ask again we need even more tank tours please....

awesome tank

When buying wild life stock are you ever worried about hitchhikers if so what do you do ?

Awesome TANK! What kind of fish is the white with black stripes? Great example of a really creative tank!

What's that purple and yellow looking wrasse? Looks awesome!

How do you clean and maintain the tank? Seems like a pita to access it?

I have a redsea reefer 170 that is about to get the same transformation. I can’t stand the RS overflow. Awesome idea!

No words about the mollies man,

Cool tank.

hi. i wanted to ask you if there have been any problems with the mangroves up to now. I also wanted to plant my mangroves in a small aquarium and put the whole thing in my large aquarium. Kind regards jan

Would be cool to make the overflow adjustable, raising it as the mangroves grow taller

Business, business, business... only business!!!

We miss you Jake.

Very awesome tank! Excited to maybe getting to know the struggle moving the overflow box down! #reefbuilders #jakeadamsmademespendallmymoneyoncorals

It just pushes me to do a tank like tis but when I realise that I don't have the amount to set up this tank,its quite disappointing but that again pushes me to save money nd not spend it on new corals,such an inspiring tank is this Jake!

I think if you save money on your tank and go with something like converting an inexpensive 40 breeder and/or using all-in-one or HOB gear you could pull off a nice mangrove/clam setup. Mangroves and attractive Maxima clams themselves aren't prohibitively expensive if you're already buying coral frags. High end rimless tanks and integrated stands are really nice, but I think a lot of hobbyists get caught up in lusting after $2-$4k setups when a well-stocked, well-maintained aquarium built out of $200-$500 in gear and smart buys or DIY built components can get you 90% of the way there. For a lot of people that's also the difference between having one expensive showpiece tank that looks awesome and has lots of space (but might limit you in some of the things you could try--like you might not start experimenting with mangroves if you only have the time and budget for a cherry 150gal acropora reef) vs having multiple tanks with vastly different kinds of livestock.

How.are.those mollies.doing . I've heard they do survive in SW but not as long as they do in fw .

How can I get the mangrove boxes?

pretty cool tank, does the leopard sleep in the mangrove substrate?

Fyi powder coat DOES absorb water and you will get corrosion and rust underneath it eventually. Cerakote is the best option for that type of thing.

Damn sucks this dood is dead, honestly miss his videos.

I put pebbles on top of the sand to keep it OUT - I guess it goes and sleeps under something like all my wrasses have done in my bare bottom tanks in the past

how can you keep all those tanks with no failure? , you makes look this hobby as easy as collecting stamps. This cube tank has no filtration as far as I can tell (not even dead rock) and looks fantastic !!!, a mystery to me for sure ...
