if the owner did set the tank up maybe you could get ahold of him and ask if you could take an update video or he make a video and post it. or maybe show us in the right direction if you know if he has put a video up of the tank? that would be awesome!
Hey Jim, With that lame excuse to NOT set up a 1,000 Gallon reef tank, (Cause only a knucklehead would set up a 1,000 gallon reef without having at-least $10,000 for it) I know what this customer is up to. He hired Condy just to give him an idea as how a professional would set this tank up, lighting wise, filtration wise, aquascaeing ect ect. Then after he got his basic info, make up a lame excuse, and do it himself. I am sorta in the koi pond business, and this happened to me too often.
@lafishguy hey man it happens. it's hard to believe but it is very easy to sink 6,000-7,000 dollars in a simple 100 gallon system. so i'm sure the cost of a monster system like this is nothing short of HUGE. anyway like you always say keep moving forward.
I really cant wait for part 2. I hope the owner gets some more money and gets it finished of its going to look amazing i cant wait to see it finished.
hey B, the puffer is the reason you need the clean-up crew. he eats lots of food that creates the nutrients that encourage the algae growth, yes?. a Crew will only get eaten by the puffer. consider a different approach to nutrient control, such as Algae Scrubbing or Bio Pellets.
hey M, it is not my service account, it is Cande's so I have no idea whats going on with it. apparently his customer does not have the money to continue.
im so happy to se those comercials in your videos thats means jim is "moving foward"in the business and i wish him all the sucess in the world ...he deserves...
Thanks for documenting this build, Jim. It's not often that we (those of outside of the business) get to see a big tank being built. I'm looking forward to parts 2, 3, 4...
Hey jim. Along with the question about LEDs. Why did scott (guy from ep. 99) go with LEDs? Since he has them set up to run the cycle of the sun from morning to night then wouldnt it have been even cheaper if he went with a solartube verses LEDs that replaced the MH??? That would have been free energy and the soffet above his tank would have had enough room to put it in.
@lafishguy jim im sorry for not explaining. I meant a coral only tank by saying no fish no inverts just live rock and corals. Since there is no fish to produce ammoina will the cycle fail or will it just be a low bio-load. i have been in the saltwater hobby for 5 years now and have had mixed tanks with fish/coral/ and inverts, but hate nitrates and all the problems that come with it like algea and diatoms. So saying that i was wondering if i could set up a display tank in my house with live roc
hey X, i am sure there will still be a small bioload and a bio-filter is going to develope anyhow. it just adapts to the wasteload. corals produce waste and the rock produces ( or equalizes ) waste and I would still expect some basic algae growth. that job I did in Wyoming they experienced an alage problem before they added any fish. i also doubt if you could resist adding a fish or two, and you should have some maintenance type fish anyhow.
Hey jim. I was wondering if Kent Marine Liquid Calicum is just as good as using a calicum reactor? And also is it possible to have a coral only tank? I have a 125g that i was thinking of making a coral only. If so how do you keep the bio-load going and not crashing and having to recycle your tank again?
hey X, i dont think its the same. the only liquid calcium supplement I would consider using would be the 2-part B-Ionics. not sure what you mean by "coral only". corals typically are grown on some sort of rock foundation and its called a reef tank. the rock being used is 'live' and thats what offers the biological filtration. I think you need to get yourself a good reef book before you start spending money on a coral-only tank
I was wondering how much a UV sterilizer helps with algae? I have heard of using them to kill parasites and things like that, but do they cut down on cyanobacteria?
I was just wondering which brand of ich medicine you use for reef tanks? A friend of mine with a 125g has a kole tang and a few others with it, and I recall you in a previous episode using half doses several hours apart (or some substantial time frame) to treat the entire tank.
Love the vids, find them very helpful. Oh, and I almost forgot to subscribe!
hey @, i use SeaChem Cuprimine but you can not use this in a reef tank. copper based medications will kill most inverts and corals. unfortunately there are no good reef medications. you may have to use garlic, or a reef medication that uses garlic.
@lafishguy Ah okay, thank you very much. Seems I was mistaken :P. I guess I'll just tell him to treat the fish separately and use garlic/some immune booster in the tank.
Hey jim. I was wondering if i brought my LA fishguy shirt to the convention in Iowa in september if you could autograph it? Also have you ever heard of hard ward etching glass? like turning clear glass to frosted glass. if so how do you fix it?
hey X, sure I will sign it ( makes note to bring Sharpie pen along to MACNA ). not sure if I understand the question, but if you know how to polish glass it can be done. i dont know how but I am sure a Glass Shop does.
i like to ask you what you think about Micron sock's.. i got a Aqueon Proflex #4 sump. and it had 3 micron sock's with it on the first part. can a sock be a form of biologocal filter?
hey C, micron socks are considered mechanical filtration and do a good job at trapping out small particles. once the small particles are gone you can remove the sock as its done its job. given enough time and debri it will begin to clogged and then water will bypass it. yes, it can become biologically active, which is NOT what it was intended for.
I thought my 120 gallon was big but I thought wrong and I obviously thought wrong when I miss-judged the size of the tank compared to the size of the front door. My question is how the fuck did they get the tank into the house?
So when can we expect part 2??? I understand this tank is being built as we speak but cant wait to see filtration portion of the build. This should have been a shark tank even though a reef is awesome....
hey, I'm 15 and I love your show! My family is setting up a 180 Gallon reef tank soon, but I was wondering, when this tank is done, will you make a video if it? Shame he isn't using it for a shark or two :P
i have a 90g reef tank and now i have got this rose bubble tip anemone but i already have this purple base brown tentacle anemone ( not quite sure of its name) , a pair of True Percula Clownfish is hosting this anemone, is it safe to keep both these anemone in the same tank ???
hey 3, if they are different species its quite likely they will sting each other. if you try it then watch them carefully and be prepared to remove the new one if there is problems.... better yet, give the Rose to a friend with a proper tank and be happy with your current anemone and clownfish.
Hey Jim, congratulations on reaching 100 episodes! Hope there will be another 100 to follow, been leaning a lot and can't wait for the next upload, keep up the good work.
that guys looks goofy like a crack head lol . lol by the way that tank will leak 1000 gallons on a bad stand will leak if not soon . in the future trust me
@lafishguy Your welcome and hey if you ever want me to help you film an episode, my Canon prosumer camcorder is waiting for you. Let me know, I would love to be apart of the la fish guys crew! :)
hey Jim i absolutely love how this build is shaping up...... keep up the gud work...... i hope those idiots dont make it bad for us because without your videos, reefing will become a lot more difficult and boring..... so again keep up the gud work....... am enjoying and learning from everyone of them...... thx a million buddy
hey H, as a matter of fact the Age Of Aquarium commercial is a paid project, the MACNA promo is to help promote MACNA and LA Fishguys at MACNA, and the Reef Hobbyist commecial was in trade for the promotional article of LA Fishguys that appeared in their recent issue. appearantly vendors like and see the potential in LA Fishguys as well, so get use to the commercials as I am actively pursueing them and need that financing to contine to produce more LA Fishguys episodes.
@lafishguy not that the comercial was a problem... i just think it should have been put at the end because it was quite an interuption. Goodluck i really enjoy your videos, so if you need the funding then ill watch the commercials.
@HospitalWaste click ahead passed the commercial's you idiot! its not that hard, and i sure hope jim is making buck off this! he does a great job! if you dont like it dont watch, guuuuuh...keyboard warriors.....and he even took the time to respond too!
I am not sure but I don't think the LED's are going to reach the bottom very well. Cree lighting is strong but it seems like the home owner might have to use the ecosmart pedants
You guys have had good results regarding growth out of SPS with LEDs? Ive had no such luck yet...just excellent colour. Any idea as to how many Aquaray units you'll be using over that tank? I assume you're using the 120w model. Anyways, awesome vid as usual, look forward to seeing the finished tank! You should look into Discovery Channel as well, cheers
hey M, while I am convinced that LED Lighting offers greater and multiple economical savings I have no experience using them with SPS. there is an upcoming episode that also features Cande and a 300 gallon mixed LPS and SPS Reef tank that he is successful with, also using tap water, and those Aqua Ray LED Lighting units. I dont know how much he is planning on placing over this tank.
That is going to be one WILD tank , I can't wait to see the other video's on it. Just looking under the tank do you guys think there is enuff saport ? it don't look all that strong to hold 1000 gallons and the rock. Something to think about. Anyways like I said that will be a NICE tank once it's done, can't wait!!!!
hey 99, Supposedly the stand has been re-enforced. i have suggested filling the tank with freshwater first as a test. I guess we will find out over time.
OMG, WOW, That is an amazing task, Lovely setup, I can picture it already. Cant wait for future videos. The Led's alone sound Amazing. I would for sure have a diving suit on the purchase list. thumbs up for sure
hey S, yeah something has gone wrong in that regard. i do know there is a huge drop in quality in the footage out of the camera and into the editing software. I dont think I have changed any of the settings, I do think its a lack of proper lighting.
hey K, the tank has been polished out and I know the stand was addressed, but I think wrongly. last I hear he was waiting for money to purchase the rock.
@lafishguy most likely will and judging by all the thumbs up i got alot of others will as well. the videos have morphed form a really cool reality style aquarium show to more of just one giant advertisement for you and your companies. "animal planet what are you waiting for". Haha good luck with that.
hey W, it amazes me that after all the questions I have answered for you that you can be so selfish and snide. I guess I am suppose to continue to produce episodes and never benifit or profit from it, especially in this tough economy when its the only one of those companies producing results. what you fail to see is the growth in many directions that the show has become, at the very least in my own ability. if it was not for my own businesses there would not be an LA Fishguys show! goodbye.
@wiifan62 Your just jealous because you can't make money by making YouTube videos. No one cares what you think about the commercials. People can't work their ass off and produce videos to get peanuts in return, its all about the money! And the more anybody can get I say more power to them. So keep up the good work Jim and ignore these stupid idiots. Your videos are perfect and always entertaining to watch. And as for wiifan62, like I said no one cares about your stupid comment.
@wiifan62 And as you can see there are more thumbs up on the video then your stupid little comment. So if you don't like Jims videos, don't watch them. No one wants to hear your little whiny bitchy comments.
Hey jim you should make a video of your tank if you have one bet its awesome

hey H, as a matter of fact the Age Of Aquarium commercial is a paid project, the MACNA promo is to help promote MACNA and LA Fishguys at MACNA, and the Reef Hobbyist commecial was in trade for the promotional article of LA Fishguys that appeared in their recent issue. appearantly vendors like and see the potential in LA Fishguys as well, so get use to the commercials as I am actively pursueing them and need that financing to contine to produce more LA Fishguys episodes.
lafishguy 8 months ago
@lafishguy not that the comercial was a problem... i just think it should have been put at the end because it was quite an interuption. Goodluck i really enjoy your videos, so if you need the funding then ill watch the commercials.

I am not sure but I don't think the LED's are going to reach the bottom very well. Cree lighting is strong but it seems like the home owner might have to use the ecosmart pedants

You guys have had good results regarding growth out of SPS with LEDs? Ive had no such luck yet...just excellent colour. Any idea as to how many Aquaray units you'll be using over that tank? I assume you're using the 120w model. Anyways, awesome vid as usual, look forward to seeing the finished tank! You should look into Discovery Channel as well, cheers

hey M, while I am convinced that LED Lighting offers greater and multiple economical savings I have no experience using them with SPS. there is an upcoming episode that also features Cande and a 300 gallon mixed LPS and SPS Reef tank that he is successful with, also using tap water, and those Aqua Ray LED Lighting units. I dont know how much he is planning on placing over this tank.

That is going to be one WILD tank , I can't wait to see the other video's on it. Just looking under the tank do you guys think there is enuff saport ? it don't look all that strong to hold 1000 gallons and the rock. Something to think about. Anyways like I said that will be a NICE tank once it's done, can't wait!!!!

hey 99, Supposedly the stand has been re-enforced. i have suggested filling the tank with freshwater first as a test. I guess we will find out over time.
lafishguy 8 months ago
OMG, WOW, That is an amazing task, Lovely setup, I can picture it already. Cant wait for future videos. The Led's alone sound Amazing. I would for sure have a diving suit on the purchase list. thumbs up for sure

hey S, yeah something has gone wrong in that regard. i do know there is a huge drop in quality in the footage out of the camera and into the editing software. I dont think I have changed any of the settings, I do think its a lack of proper lighting.
lafishguy 8 months ago
Excellent & exciting video Jim. I cannot wait to see the progress :D "Is it built yet?" lol

hey K, the tank has been polished out and I know the stand was addressed, but I think wrongly. last I hear he was waiting for money to purchase the rock.

hey W, then stop watching.
lafishguy 8 months ago
@lafishguy most likely will and judging by all the thumbs up i got alot of others will as well. the videos have morphed form a really cool reality style aquarium show to more of just one giant advertisement for you and your companies. "animal planet what are you waiting for". Haha good luck with that.
wiifan62 8 months ago
hey W, it amazes me that after all the questions I have answered for you that you can be so selfish and snide. I guess I am suppose to continue to produce episodes and never benifit or profit from it, especially in this tough economy when its the only one of those companies producing results. what you fail to see is the growth in many directions that the show has become, at the very least in my own ability. if it was not for my own businesses there would not be an LA Fishguys show! goodbye.

@wiifan62 Your just jealous because you can't make money by making YouTube videos. No one cares what you think about the commercials. People can't work their ass off and produce videos to get peanuts in return, its all about the money! And the more anybody can get I say more power to them. So keep up the good work Jim and ignore these stupid idiots. Your videos are perfect and always entertaining to watch. And as for wiifan62, like I said no one cares about your stupid comment.
LuckyBambooExpert 8 months ago 2
@wiifan62 And as you can see there are more thumbs up on the video then your stupid little comment. So if you don't like Jims videos, don't watch them. No one wants to hear your little whiny bitchy comments.
