Last visit to the Reef Builders Studio

I wanted to share some footage of the reef builders studio from my first visit several months ago, when it was arguably at its peak. I saw the studio again during Reefstock 2023. Things at the studio now are in a state of transition. Many of the corals were re-homed, and several of the show tanks likely will be taken down. It occurred to me at that the footage I shot from my first visit might have been the aesthetic peak of this studio. Jake scrubbed the tanks relentlessly in anticipation of my visit because he knew my camera would pick up every little detail and wanted everything to be PERFECT. The tanks indeed looked incredible. I want to share these visuals for the people who love Jake Adams and love Reef Builders.
