Your diffuser is probably undersized. Assuming the duct is sized correctly. Increase diffuser size or reduce the flow . If you decide with the later you can reduce the air discharge 🌡️ slightly ( but pay attention to space dew point ) .
Randomly came across Tidal Gardens in Ohio while down here training for work, I am from Ontario. I have followed you for a bit on TH-cam and had no idea where you were even located. Today was my day off so I drove around with a work partner to look at stores in the area with Reef Aquariums for something to do and we came across Tidal Gardens. We kindly got a quick tour of the Garden House Aquariums and they were amazing. Hopefully when I am down again I can get a chance to see it when you're new building is up and full that would be a fantastic experience. Still cant believe I randomly came across this place, definitely made my day.
Just stopped by the greenhouse today and picked up my first two pieces of Tidal Gardens corals! Ben let me see the new building and it is sooooo impressive! I live about 2.5 hours away outside of Dayton. I’m about to pull the trigger on a new 150g lagoon build as soon as we close on our new house. I know where I’ll be getting the corals to fill it!!! Awesome facilities, corals, customer service, and videos! Keep up the great work!
Just keep televising everything you do and all the big names will be knocking on your door to get in.....ecotech already looks like they are in....That is my dream palace....you are my idol
I can't stop laughing at how over the top this whole building is. I do commend you for executing your vision. You are so ahead of the curve and have put yourself in the right position to be a leader in aquaculture. The way the hobby is now aquaculture will be king. I few years ago people would have considered this a huge gamble but its actually a guaranteed winner. Best of luck. Hopefully if you have another BBQ I can attend and see this all when it's complete.
Awesome video Than! Thanks for sharing al the details. Super informative behind the scenes look at the incredible amount of planning that went into the building
for your peninsula tank, you could take some black schedule 80 pipe (or black steel industrial pipe used for running gas lines), maybe 1-1.5" diameter and run it from under the lip of the bottom base of the guard rail (or even the top if need be) to the back wall. you could then drill access holes into both ends so you can run all of the power cabling through it to your outlets.
Great update. I love that you used to schedule 80 bulkheads. Maybe you could get an MP 60 for the saltwater mixing then and place it low. Maybe then you won't have to row your saltwater.
This place can literally be one of the nicest farms in United States. One day can be a legend in coral farming. Keep up the great work. You are truly living the American dream my friend.
The Mastermind of Reefkeeping! WWC will have to step their game for tours. The College of Tidal Gardens/Advanced Reef Aquarium will be King of Aquaculture Education. WWC, Live Aquaria, many others stick to mainly business while Tidal Gardens/Advanced Reef Aquarium, besides a business is one of the top sources of Reefkeeping Education. Awesome Update Than. Stay Reefing and high 5!
If you face the black side to the other tanks it could be storage or work bench/packaging station on the back of the stage, it would also create maybe small sitting room on the other side. You could build an aluminum rectangle for the back glass that would match the tank base. this would give you something to lean on too, then add two corner pieces to the front sort of making an aluminum framed tank. Keep the posts extended and use wire or poly rope across the posts to hang the lights, you would probably want that to be strung tight as a piece that sits on the posts so there is nothing really touching the tank at all. They also have those gear screws for automation that you could use to lift the light rack up, they sell tables now with something like that... gut four tables, make them non movable you can still use them as a table and steal the actuator from them
Than, your new building is Absolutely Beautiful ! The tanks look incredible... Cant wait to see it all up and running.. As for stirring your salt manually, that's so clever.. Will give ppl something else to talk about for awhile 😉wink. Thankyou for sharing 🤗 L👀king forward to future updates...
Buy the mixing pump. You will soon get tired of rowing in a suit. 😂 I love seeing this update and things start to come together. I feel like there should be a good way to dump in boxes of salt into the mixing station so you should have to lug them up onto a platform. Maybe something that can dispense dry salt mix by volume or weight? Everything about this building is amazing. Cant wait to see the next update.
I was wondering why everything was grey and white. Then I noticed your wardrobe. Very muted colors should make the corals really POP when fully stocked. Awesome setup. Can't wait for the final product.
Wow!!! This new building is looking amazing. Can't wait to see the next video update. Wish you the best with the electrical issue. And I also agree that you're gonna need that mixing pump!
Truly amazing Than! You know that I really like all the fabrication and mechanical parts of it all. We will have to stop by the next time we are in Ohio. Great job!
Regarding the lights for the peninsula show tank. Have you thought about stretching steel cable across that open space and hanging the lights from the cable? Turnbuckles will make this a breeze.
Everything looks awesome Than!!👍🏾👍🏾 I’m sure your not going to mix all your salt with a paddle. In the interim consider a stainless steel paint mixer that attaches to a drill. They make extensions that can reach the bottom.
I agree with Oaktown 66 Amazing setup, but just spend the $600 on the mixer. LOL! Seriously though. I have been watching you since the beginning of the entire project. Just amazing man!! Super clean nice place! Very thought out. Pretty Amazing. Thank for your vids.
Looks awesome and can’t wait to see the videos of it all wet but would have added a power drill to the Padal or used a electric type mixer similar to what is used by in food makers or plastering
Huge difference from the last time I saw this place. I will say if he was to add solar it would the most technologically advanced coral farm that I know of. Awesome job Than hope you get the rest of the tanks soon
Slide some through wall magnetic power heads down into the sides of the tank. Orient them to pump in a circular motion. You'll be mixed in no time. Also, possibly a stainless tankless water heater in an exchange. Warm water dissolves salt faster.
Hey Tidal... hopefully you can get your electrical problem fixed. Like you explain it I think it's probably too much power usage on the 20amp socket, so when you ask for power for your lights, the breaker can't provide it and will switch off (inside is a safety metal that will bend due to heat generated by more than 20amps your asking). You can solve this by removing a part of the lights to a second 20amp (like it should be done and what you asked). If this isn't possible you can try to change the 20amp to something higer like a 25amp or a 40amp... not ideal but it's better than breaking your sealing and walls open to rewire stuff... you can calculate your amps by counting how many watts all your lights use and multiply it with 110v (or 220v, dunno what the US uses)... example : 20amp breaker multiplied with 110v is 2200 watts of lightning (or pumps or any other electrical device)... hope it helps and you can fix it fast... nice progress on your place :)
Tidal Gardens - If I know how you roll, I’d say this paddle will not last long. 😉 Seriously man, the place is top notch and I’m sure even WWC and Top Shelf have to be a little jealous and following along. The RODI system is just beautiful and the water mixing station is gonna be awesome. I agree that a platform would be safe and ideal in the future. One day at a time. It’s coming along nicely despite the minor issues. We all know every build has quite a few issues and with a building this size, expect many more in the future. With time...everything will be ironed out and this facility will be in a league of its own!
Might check out inflatable duct for your AC unit upstairs. There's a company called ductsox that makes some pretty cool stuff. Quiet as f**k. Basically extend the duct from the registers to however long you want to make them in order to muffle the sound of the air rushing out. I know it sounds odd but it's pretty legit.
Could you use a large air pump with air stones/bubbler hose in the water tank to "mix" the water instead of using an oar to stir? It would create the circulation in the water and would he easy to turn on and off.
You might want to check out the radiation pattern of your unifi access point, they are usually better mounted on the ceiling rather than on a wall. Just friendly heads up!
I'm not sure. We had one unit that did a good job providing connectivity to the whole building but we chose to add another one just for stronger coverage.
@@tidalgardens Check out the patterns on their site: help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005212927-UniFi-UAP-Antenna-Radiation-Patterns#HD%20overall You're shooting a lot of wifi into the ground and ceiling :)
Than, can I ask where you got your stands made. I was looking for a stand exactly like that with castors. Living in an apartment, I would need to be able to move the stand for major maintenance or cleaning. Thanks in advance. Love how it's coming along!!!!
You guys asked for it! Here is the latest building update on the new Tidal Gardens warehouse!
This was sooo cool to watch, huge inspiration.
Awe.... some.
Your diffuser is probably undersized. Assuming the duct is sized correctly.
Increase diffuser size or reduce the flow . If you decide with the later you can reduce the air discharge 🌡️ slightly ( but pay attention to space dew point ) .

I'll spend $1million dollars on my new place...But $600 for a pump to mix the salt..Never..:) Seriously though.. nice setup!
I need the exercise
that was so funny!!!
I was counting the lights alone, its like $45,000 worth of Radeon G4 (assuming pro). $45k on lights but not $600 on the pump, heh.
@@adambahe9309 I'm guessing Ecotech gave him the lights.
mnelson10000 seeings how I’m sure Than has a whole sale license and ordered a crap ton of those lights he got a huge bulk discount indeed

Finally someone who appreciates OCD electrical/plumbing management! Excellent job well done sir!
Thanks very much. Unfortunately it doesn't get done quickly, but when it gets done it is worth it.
I’m glad those lights were up and running for the bbq
love that you sat "white" like stewy says cool whip
Words cannot describe how epic this build is, it's a whole new level above everything else. And Than is just too cool for school..........
Woo hoo!!!!! A dream workplace... with an inflatable mattress.

Hardly a gamble in my eyes. People love spending money on this stuff.
Congrats on making your dreams happen. Excited for you!
Thanks! Can't wait until there is finally water in those tanks.
Awesome video Than! Thanks for sharing al the details. Super informative behind the scenes look at the incredible amount of planning that went into the building
Keepin it real. Rowin the salt. Gettin that exercise and havin' a little danger on the side with that funk ladder.
for your peninsula tank, you could take some black schedule 80 pipe (or black steel industrial pipe used for running gas lines), maybe 1-1.5" diameter and run it from under the lip of the bottom base of the guard rail (or even the top if need be) to the back wall. you could then drill access holes into both ends so you can run all of the power cabling through it to your outlets.
Gonna watch this video whenever I'm complaining because I can't afford ONLY 1 radion...lol!! Slowly but surely Than! Looks good!
Thank you so much for making me laugh about the 600 water pump.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great update. I love that you used to schedule 80 bulkheads. Maybe you could get an MP 60 for the saltwater mixing then and place it low. Maybe then you won't have to row your saltwater.
Thanks Harkins. I hope the schedule 80 bulkheads will be a lot more leak resistant than the ABS ones.
@@tidalgardens I have agree that the schedule 80 in my opinion is better then the ABS.
Love the choice of the PVC bulkheads! Wish we could get rid of the ABS versions in the hobby!
I'm hoping the PVC ones are much more leak resistant than the ABS ones.
This place can literally be one of the nicest farms in United States. One day can be a legend in coral farming. Keep up the great work. You are truly living the American dream my friend.
all the best stuff going on over in the states! that is super!

Great Video!! Everything is Awesome Indeed!!! 1000 gallon holding tank $1500. Manually rowing the salt... Priceless ! 🤣🤣😂
Amazing! No expense spared!
This is the most beautiful business building!
Awesome can’t wait to see it all up and running
That facility is amazing. I used to have a dream tank. Now I dream of a whole tank building!
Make it happen!
Kudos to Matt for staying up and hanging the lights! Place looks amazing Than, really well executed.

Love the color scheme of the building, I think it's a really good paint choice.
These videos never cease to amaze me! Those utility rooms need barn doors on them!
WOW ! WOW ! WOW ! Congratulations . Beautiful WORK SPACE . Waiting for more updates
Going to be in awe at what that looks like when everything is installed and filled..
Big thumbs up
I can't wait until there is finally water in this first system.

Something like a conveyer belt with little bulldozer buckets to add the salt.
I was wondering why everything was grey and white. Then I noticed your wardrobe. Very muted colors should make the corals really POP when fully stocked. Awesome setup. Can't wait for the final product.
Looks incredible Than! What a place!
I give it a year tops before that oar doesn't cut it. The one time you hurt your shoulder will be when water needs made. Beyond that, looks good.
Wow!!! This new building is looking amazing. Can't wait to see the next video update. Wish you the best with the electrical issue. And I also agree that you're gonna need that mixing pump!
Truly excellent and thoughtful planning and execution. Enjoy this journey, you’re living the hobbyists dream! :)
This is amazing! Maybe one day you would allow tours once everything is up and running.
For mixing salt, get a electric trolling motor for boats to stick in the tank to move the water
Awesome job so far. Can’t wait to see it all up and running. I love it!
Beautiful set up and so thoughtful too, sign of great design !
You’re new place is awesome I will be coming to see that place BEAUTIFUL 👍👍👍
Truly amazing Than! You know that I really like all the fabrication and mechanical parts of it all. We will have to stop by the next time we are in Ohio.
Great job!

Awesome update! 👍🏼👊🏼🔥
Congratulations. The building looks amazing. Makes me happy to see a great person have such success!
Wow, super impressive.
Looks incredible!
So much respect for everything you do 👍🏻
Funny I used to over mix my salt and now I like to do it very gentle, and using an oar come to mind.
Cant wait for the finished building!
