Thank you so much for helping bring the vision that Jake and I had to life! This was 4 days I'll never forget!
It was a delight John & Lisa. Such a fun weekend can’t wait to do it again with the Coral bug. 😆 Thank you for your wonderful hospitality. 💙
I don't think the angel will survive
Congrats KG
🥳
As a freshwater enthusiast I find this idea amazing!
Oh yah, we think so too! Thanks Adam!
The Agenda the late Jake Adams and John had was, and still is, a fantastic idea.
I know I started my own aquarium journey with small planted tanks, grew to a large planted tank, and then converted that to my first reef tank. I could never understand why the two sides of the hobby were so siloed and adversarial. Granted each perspective has it's own challenges and methodologies, yet the more captive environments you understand and have experience with: the stronger a hobbyist you can be. And the stronger the collective hobby becomes for us all.
I wish John & Lisa the best on their foray into salt water. It's a fun journey.
That's how I started saltwater! I still love freshwater but my main love is in reef tanks right now
This was so good!! Great love letter to Jake and the bringing together of community!!!!
Freshwater 4 life!! Lol. Salt water tanks look awesome but screams money and tons of work.
This collab was just what I needed to see!! As a former African Cichlid breeder I’m finally crossing over to the salty side in a few weeks. Thanks for the motivation fam!!💯💯
Wow!!! 😍
Awesome 🐠🐡
I think Jake will be proud of you guys 😁
Love to you all!💛✌️🏴
Man Jake was such an inspiration to the reefing world. He will be dearly missed. What a way to honor and keep his memory alive sir. 🙏🏻
🫶🏼🫶🏼
Jimmy's editing and photography is amazing!
Thanks Legion!
KG I followed u a few years back when I was solely freshwater. Glad to see u embarking into the salt world as well like i did, especially in memory of Jake. Incredible tank
❤❤ awesome sauce ❤❤
So good 😊
Love this video!! I also love the shout out to Jake. Great job guys!😊
Glad you liked it!!
It’s so good to see the freshwater guys getting into salt. I promise it is a lot more fun!
HAHAHA I fucking love it! You won't last long at fish only! So awesome! We all miss Jake... this is a great way to honor him ❤
Thank you G&A!
Funny story that story Virginia is called Fish world Joe is the owner He's a great dude and those clown fish we're still there the last time I was in their store which was about 5 years ago so depending on when you guys went to Fish world and saw that 30-year-old clown he could be well into 50 by now
How cool and special is this 💗 R.I.P Jake. He was there with y'all Dearing this build for sure.✌️👍
Beautifully done. Congratulations John and Lisa! Well done Jimmy!
Thank you very much Glenn!
Love the fact you were honouring Jake Adams with this saltwater tank. Much love, peace and blessings to you.🙏🏾🧡🐠
Thank you so much Tyler :)
I bought my first freshwater angelfish 4 years ago, and my reef is now 2 years old. So glad you are getting into this side of the hobby.
Nothing like a video edited by Jimmy, you got the best in editors! Great video. Beautiful tank and fish!
💜💛
Awesome video, great saltwater fish selected by John and Lisa as per usual since they are the best at it! Good job, guys!
Thanks! 👍
Wow! What a great tank! It was so cool you named your fish Jake. too.
I love that puffer, he's a rock star.
I've always wanted salt water, but because of my job, I don't have the time to take care of one. I'd be afraid it would get neglected. However, you're almost always around. I'm sure you're going to do a fantastic job with this wonderful tank.
I take care of a neighbor's cats some weekends. they have a salt water tank. I recently noticed there are a lot of tiny starfish in her tank. I asked her if she bought them... she said no, that sometimes she gets "surprise inhabitants" when she buys new live rock/corals. These little starfish were a surprise. So cool!
I wish you two all the best with this new addition. Looking forward to seeing future videos on the tank! Best regards.
very awesome and touching video i love this collaboration i was a big fan of the reef builders channel jake is a very cool person r.i.p. jake
Hey Jimmy.. doing what you do and good as always.
Thanks Dave! 🥰
Love this! The tank is coming along nicely, Jake would be proud! 🫶
Thanks for stopping by Danny! 🫶🏼🫶🏼
Nice selection. Excited for you guys
🙏🏾😢😥😭😭🙏🏾🙏🏾 This is awesomeness!!! Rest in peace Jake
Here because of KGTropicals! Never would have cared for ANY saltwater videos. However, seeing my freshwater fish guy taking this step, it peaked my interest. I know that is his goal and already it's happening. Thank you ALL for opening my eyes to other options! ❤️
Saltwater is SO worth it. I have started my saltwater journey 12 years ago when I was 6 my dad got a 120 gallon reef tank for our living room. I was so amazed at all the colors of the corals and fish. I originally wanted to be a marine biologist but many factors stopped that from happening. 3 years ago I got my first freshwater tank for myself to take care of and after 2 1/2 years I start my first reef tank which is 3 months ago and I am so in love with it!
The jump isn’t that hard. Brstv on TH-cam has all the info. Research is the key like everything . It is worth every second I still keep fresh water as well.
Fellow Fritz employee here love the videos Shawn.
Now I want to learn along. It’s always confused me that many saltwater keepers change less water than freshwater. Why is that?
Omg this is awesome I’ve been with you guys for years. I live right by House Of Tropicals. I love you guys so happy you’r bringing the gap I have marine and fresh water and I’m very excited for you guys. Love from Baltimore
Absolutely a wonderful video KG Tropics the very best of luck on your saltwater journey and my reef tank is even better with Fritz salt.
"Somewhere in Virginia?" Ummm, no, but maybe that's why Jimmy ended up at the wrong airport. Seriously, as a big KG fan and customer, love the collaboration and the final result.
🙌🏼 Great episode 👏🏻 👌🏻
Sooo cooool! what an awesome video...I think it's great that everyone came together and made this happen...long live Jake!!!
Love this.. I went from starting fresh water beginning of last year and by the last 1/3 of the year I got saltwater. It’s so fun
I AM SO EXCITED to see this!!! I have disappeared for a little while because I've been working on my saltwater tank this is 75 gallons with a 40 gallon sump. I went through a period of Serious boredom I was in a bad funk. Then I came up with starting a saltwater tank actually my 20 year old son talked me into it. Didn't take me much because I needed something more.
Glad to see that John made an awesome. choice in the color of the first Foxface!!! Go Hawkeyes
That was awesome!! Makes me wanna get back into reefing
I recently got into saltwater glad to see KG get involved in it as well !
Wow that’s so cool!
Thank you for stopping by Vinh! Cool car by the way!
LOVE the video!! Awesome editing and love seeing GREAT people do great things!!!
Thanks so much Keng!
That was fun
It was tons of fun!
Thank you so very much for sharing this project with all of us. You are very generous for doing this so we can see the new tank and set up, and watch the new fish. Again thank you.
Thank you so much! 💙
We have a betta fish
We use filtered water and we also use a water treatment chemical that treats tap water. Can we warm that water on the stove to 84 f then add it to the tank on a 50 % change. Its a 10gal tank
Fantastic group of people. I am so happy to see this project!! Thank you for sharing
Our pleasure! :)
This video seriously warmed my heart
Thank you
John and Lisa sent me. Great video I really enjoyed watching it! I just subscribed to the channel. 😅
Thanks for subbing and watching!
This video seriously warmed my heart
:) thank you for watching and commenting 🫶🏼
Two different worlds with very few similarities. I enjoy salt far much more. I've converted so many tanks "40 tank fishroom" to salt and will continue to keep converting. The rewards are far greater, but the loss and cost is far greater as well. I heard you say your feelings towards freshwater won't change, but i'm proof feelings do change! I thought the same, but salt is just so much more beautiful and challenging in my eyes. Everyone needs to like and subscribe KGTRopicals so they can get more salt tanks! Hope you indulge more with the salt! Brs 52 weeks of reefing is great info for anyone wanting to indulge in the darkside.
Love the videos live from DC
5 amazing nice people
🥰
Oh this is so cool!!!❤ The new names are perfect.
For Jake - stunning
wait one darn tootin second... i dont think this is KGs first saltwater tank. May my memory serve me correct, but didnt john have Fluval 13.5 desktop setup back in the day?
Either way i absolutely love the message of the coming together as 1 collective aquarium keeping hobby. Sharing notes and ideas to inspire each other to go even further. Very cool build i will be following closely!
Great Video 👍🐠🐟
Glad you enjoyed it!
May I suggest setting up small nano marine tank. There are some fantastic all in one nano tanks now. You really appreciate the small things with a nano and once mature they really are easy to look after especially with soft corals. The nano for corals keep the big tank for some stunning angels.
Love the direction you guys channel is going!
Thank you!
I use saltwater lights on both my fresh and salt tanks. I like the colors.
Tank you for this video
No tank YOU!
Love it!
Thanks Carl! John’s cat is named Carl as well!
@Fritz Aquatics yep! And I actually started following this channel because of john.
That puffer looks so amazing
omg
Clown triggers are beautiful
This came out great!! Nice work!
Cheers Brett!! 🫶🏼
So well filmed and a great tribute for your lost friend.
Great upload 👌 keep up the great work. 👍I myself am trying to bridge the gap.
Great video, My only question is when Aquashella is coming to L. A. Or better Orange County CA.? I would so love to attend one of the events but traveling is difficult at the moment.
It's a lot different than I thought it would be from fishwater.
Awesome video Great to see you all get together and collab, oh and the camera man was alright 👌
I’m gonna let that slide.. 😂
I heard gizmo and thought batteries not included lol
LOL
Did you QT them? No corals for that tank friend with those bad boys. Sorry John. So glad you took the step to get into salt water fish Keeping finally!
Thanks to Frotz Aquatocs and Jake Adams for making this possible.
Bro, no quarantine? Bro
Sad about Jake. Seemed healthy and fairly young. We do see more blood clots with long plane flights in cramped seats. It does not hurt take an aspirin or NSAID’s before a long flight
What is sad is that 98% plus saltwater are wild caught as very difficult to breed. 98% freshwater are raised. I live in Hawaii. Many people up in arms taking fish to aquariums. People protesting in front of petco. Yellow tangs are a big no from Hawaii.
From my experience I would never bring fish home and add them. Mine go through a medicated quarantine with copper power, general cure in the water column as well as food with expel p and focus. Just my opinion
Nice. Super amazing
eyyyy Aquariums Unlimited. Got my pea puffers there a few days ago
Stay tuned for a full store tour and backstory of Aquariums Unlimited!
@@fritzaquaticsvideo Aw yay! I hope you got to meet Atlas!!!
