At the time Jake passed I had just begun taking a break from the hobby. I had an empty 6 gallon pico tank so I decided to start it up in his honor and to keep it simple like Jake always did. I call it the “Jake Tank” and it’s turning out to be my favorite tank I’ve ever had.
Yay more Reef Builders 😎 good to see Jake's brother and sorry for your loss Luc, nice that one of the corals added was even collected in person by Jake...look forward to an update down the road
More great content. Thank you Evan and Luc. I think setting up this Nano with Luc offered up great content that's relatable to many of those just getting into reefing and trying to setup a system. It was a pleasure meeting you at Neptunes Tropical Fish, Evan of Reef Builders studio and Chris of ACI Aquaculture. Always a pleasure talking shop and meeting the individuals many of us look up to in this hobby. I love how Evan has worked so diligently to keep this community alive and moving in the right direction. Its nice knowing the Coral specimens from the RB studio have been spread around to preserve genetics and help ensure the impact, information, and curiosity of Jake Adams is able to live on forever and potentially offering in the community the option of keeping a piece of Jake and his coral with them in their own reefs. Happy Reefing and Thank you Evan and all those who involved! See you at ReefStock. -Scooter
So sorry for your loss. I just recently decided to do as much homework before actually getting back into the hobby from decades of layoff. I became a mass consumer of Jakes content having no idea he was gone. I’m thankful for the ability to enjoy and learn from him. Please continue to carry on Luc and Evan!!
Tank looks like it's off to a good start. Also love seeing the QOTSA Emek poster on the wall. Surprised I noticed it with just the corner of it showing :)
Great video guys, you know big brother is looking down and smiling on you guys for doing that. I’m surprised you didn’t bring over any of Jake’s famous red dragon. I have a piece of that in my tank from several years ago that it’s doing amazing and even though I have more “higher end corals” that one is by far my most prized coral. Great video keep ‘em coming please
Amazing! Hey Evan you should frag swap weeping willow corals with Bahama Llama... his version just got put in the Shedd aquarium maybe you can send some of Jake's there too... that would be cool af.
Man, I really wanted to go to ReefStock, but I'm not sure I can get time off from work. :( Luke, you must love soccer, with that nice shirt! I'm sure your tank will be an inspiration to many!! Great job guys.
Do you guys have some innovative marine aps stand hinges to sell? I know yall keep open stand on your tanks? I really need the hinges and door pegs for 1 door.
It greatly bothers me to this day; we have no idea what happened to the most amazing person I may have ever met! I looked up to jake in more ways than just reef keeping, I completely changed my life after I found Jake. very inspirational and positive person, he had a large impact on what I'm doing today. I hope one day we find out "I doubt we will", it could potentially be a learning experience for thousands of young adults. my condolences to his family, he was simply amazing!
@@Trenton.D True, but when you dont acknowledge these things, rumors will spread like wild fire, and people will assume what they were going to assume.
Big question: this is a dead dry rock, why do you put any corals in to the new tank without any cycling? By the book this is a recipe for disaster and those sps corals should be dead within days or weeks.
You guys are doing a great job, carrying on Jakes Legacy.
Hey Paul

Heart warming to see Luc setting up a reef for the fam! Red Sea Max Nano's are great little starter systems. Nice work as always Evan 💪

Keep it coming Evan!! You're rocking it!
Thank you for continuing the channel!
Great job Evan! Doing Jake proud, and my condolences go to luc for his loss. Looking forward to seeing this tank grow.

so awesome!! i remember the 60 gal cube Jake set up for Luc almost in that same spot as the nano 💙💙🤍🤍
❤
Luc definitely needs a piece of Adams weeping willow in his tank, it’s a must have for him.
Thank you for continuing the content! please keep us updated on the progress of this tank. Very curious to see your methods on growing SPS in a nano.
Love the content. It was giving us more Jake.
Tank looks like it's off to a good start. Also love seeing the QOTSA Emek poster on the wall. Surprised I noticed it with just the corner of it showing :)
You did a great job with that video Evan, keep up the great work.
I got emotional at the moment as Jake mentioned. Anyway. Nice Video. Nice spirit. Good talk. I still love the channel 😊
Great job guys Jake would be proud.

We are still slowly adding corals. So that will probably be one of them.
Wow! Great to see Jake's fam on this channel! Great episode. 👏🏻
Thanks for sharing 👌🏻 👍🏻 🙌🏼
Seeing this reminds me of how much i loved watching Jakes videos, still surreal he is gone. Keep up the good work with the channel.
Amazing! Hey Evan you should frag swap weeping willow corals with Bahama Llama... his version just got put in the Shedd aquarium maybe you can send some of Jake's there too... that would be cool af.
I think Jake lost his strain a few years ago.
We don’t have the OG weeping willow and technically neither does Bahama Llama but his was the closest to the original.
That sucks I had no idea it wasn't @ the studio anymore.
Well done! Keep going strong Reef Builders. ❤
Thank you Evan for keeping the videos going. Would love to see more.
Great video Evan and Luc looking forward to the next Reef Builders episode
Love it guys but i got 1 question isn't it bad to add corals and put the light on before the cycle ?
Man, I really wanted to go to ReefStock, but I'm not sure I can get time off from work. :(
Luke, you must love soccer, with that nice shirt!
I'm sure your tank will be an inspiration to many!!
Great job guys.
Excited to see what the tank looks like next time
What a nice legacy for Jake.
Great video guys, looking forward to future updates on this set up 😎👍
Do you guys have some innovative marine aps stand hinges to sell? I know yall keep open stand on your tanks? I really need the hinges and door pegs for 1 door.
Keep up tha great work Evan 👍 keep tha videos coming.
Looking forward to part 2 👍
Does anyone know where to buy a red sea aquarium without the stand? it seems like everywhere I look they come together and I only want the tank.
Well done! I would love to find a way to get a piece of that immortal tort someday.
Love the information!
Miss him 😢
Another awesome video 💪
Can I use this video in my youtube channel? In my country , many reef doesn't like English. So I want to summarize this video for my country-reefer.
Very awesome video amazing cool 😎 tanks nice

Great job Evan. Rip Jake
Seni unutmayacağım Jackie 😔
Go mr. Adams
Gostei da camisa 🤣🤣🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
❤️❤️❤️
I want to see more of Evan on camera. Is he still hiding behind it?
Evan isn't with ReefBuilders anymore.
Sad when and what happened, he was so young

Go watch our series on setting up our Red Sea nano in one day and adding corals. It is still thriving to this day.
