I love the filter mounts under the table!!! That is really great and makes changing the filters easy while putting a bucket below. to catch spills. Well done!!
Definitely jealous that you can get away without reverse osmosis, I've tried that in the past and it's never ended well, maybe I just needed a bunch more carbon blocks and/or a flow restrictor to allow more contact time with the carbon? I'd be curious to how you determine what's "good enough" on the output side of the water. ICP testing? Chlorine testing? TDS?
Very nicely set up reservoirs Jake. I like the added touch of the digital thermometers w/o having a probe hanging out of the water tanks. Valuable information 👌
Really miss listening to Jake. He was so into what he does and just wanted to get his message out. Look for the helpers…. He definitely was one of them
Hey Jake, would you mind posting links to the thermometers, flow meter, and hose you used on your setup? I think it would be really helpful to a lot of us!
Yeah I'm curious about those thermometers too, similar to ones you slap on the outside of an aquarium? I guess they measure the temperature of the container which after a long period of time tends to be about the same temperature as the water.
A lot of people think the difference between specific gravity and parts per thousand salinity is just a conversion between two different measurement standards. But they're both actually measuring different things. Specific gravity measures the density of the water. Not necessarily the salinity which is a measurement of how heavy the salt is Ie how much salt there is in the water.
Have you measured the water for phosphates after leaving those many carbon filters, Jake? Any lab tests? ICP? OMG!!!! That SeaTest low range... man!!! I was so happy when I got my first one. That thing was the high end of aquarium equipment back when I was a kid! LOL!
I use aquaforest salt mainly and within an hr its ready to be used. I use an ac pump for mixing that produce basically 0 heat so I dont get excess rise in overall heating. It's very important for me being in south Florida....
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 but i am unsure? Thank you so much in advance
hey Jake,I really can`t believe what I see. whats about silicate,nitrate and phosphate in the water that you use? in germay we have a lot of these , I think it is better to install a silicate filter as last stage.for remove the silicate and phosphates ?what you think about ? Greetings from Germany
Can you tell me about that flowmaster on how to install it? I am interested in getting one, Do you install it before the water going into the RODI system or before the DI resin?
As a freshwater guy and a no chlorine in tap water guy this is sooooo crazy, but definitely the mixing wat makes soooooo much sense, if i ever go saltwater I'll definitely want a system like that :D
Already got the flow meter from one of your reef therapy videos with your friend (sorry forgot his name now) do you recommend to agitate the fresh water too? I love the clear thermometer , I was thinking in one mp10 on the bottom to the salt water tank beside my core 20 to circulate the water through the 10 micro suck

A great start for this series; I learned a good deal.
Your insights over time are particularly helpful.
Thanks,

Reefology is going to be a big hit. Great way to kickstart the series....

Like this series a lot so far, great work! Thanks!

Amazing video. And perfect series love the 101. Why the water looks green
that's just a tint of algae growing in the FW side
@@ReefBuildersVideo lol. Though a secret additive you add to clean water since you are not using RODI . Hhhh😅
That salt is awesome… mixes clean and measures perfect every time👍
What a valuable series! Thanks for educating us.
You're amazing Jake.Awsome job!
Very informative video great treat, thanks Jake
Impressive system!!! How do you get rid or manage silicates from tap water? Thank you in advance.
Awsome to see these kind of videos! Great job man keep it up

Yes please

@@ReefBuildersVideo Thanks brother
The hose is a Flexzilla hose.
This looks like a great star to your new series, I look forward to future installments.
And that is one heck of a nice station
What a awesome video, Please keep them coming!
Love it. I am looking forward to more reefology
I really like those water containers! Always love hearing from the Studio!
We need more of reefology please!
Thanks for answering questions I didn't know I had :-D
Great info!!
I like this video series concept.

I prefer to use an acid wash and some elbow grease
I would like to see a video of the purification system! To learn how to connect everything.
Is it a pain to get the water out of the container to test the salinity?
What's the tds of the purified water? And the tds of the tap water? Really curious
Awesome video as always ❤️🍕
@@REEFPizza without a membrane the TDS is the same coming out as it is going in, around 200 ppm

How is the mixing pump setup? I get the M2 for both but I don’t understand how you plumbed the second one to mix.
Can you tell me about that flowmaster on how to install it? I am interested in getting one, Do you install it before the water going into the RODI system or before the DI resin?
Great video. That’s such a cool t-shirt! I need one, where can I find if possible?
Whats the TDS of your filtered fresh water? Have you ever had an ICP test done on the filtered fresh water? Just curious to know.
when you shut off saltwater canister valve isn't little saltwater that stay in pipe goes in freshwater tank with pump?
Old school reefing, time to do it whit out water changes 😁😜

This was interesting I can’t wait for some deeper dives. Is there a reason accurasea1 isn’t available? I’ve been wanting to try it
😢😢😢R.I.P

Hey Jake, my son just got a Email saying you will be speaking in Houston TX in September. If so we look very much forward seeing you speak.
Yo , missed your videos , TH-cam unsubbed me like wtf , anyway I'm back and subbed . Looking forward to more content
Awesome awesome
Demonstrating way more confidence with no RODI stages, that algae in the RO tank would scare me.
As a person who does not test Magnesium very often i have to say: Those are a lot of Salifert magnesium test kits hahahaha
😳🐟🐠
That salt mix mixes fast two little fishes
🤷♀️×
Oh so you can use just a regular garden hose
