Hey @Reef Builders whats happening?
We’ve seen people buying stuff from the studio. I’m assuming it’s shutting down. Haven’t seen much activity on here or YouTube. I heard Salem and Remy have moved on to different places. Just curious. Jake was a true inspiration to my reef.
His videos are still relevant and I go back to rewatch every chance I get.

Someone needs to take the reins.
RB was a treasure trove of information and inspiration

They have tried for years but everyone has left. I’d assume they are bleeding money to stay alive and relevant. YouTube views don’t pay the bills

Jake must have been making money. He was banking coral for decades. You’d think sell off enough coral and gear to keep it alive. Heck they could have turned the studio into a shop/aquarium

Who is going to run it? They brought in multiple people to try and pull people and views. They were all compared to Jake, which is totally unfair IMO. Reef Builders was Jake. Unfortunately, when the face of the franchise goes, the whole thing goes.

Same goes for BRStv. Ryan left and the channel died

I can’t watch brs anymore. It’s not the same.
Reef builders had so much inventory that they could create content with or sell or both. It would be a shame to see it disappear. Hopefully someone will enlighten us on what’s going on.
I appreciate you insight RT

They sold a ton of the corals and systems long ago

I have a decent idea what’s going on but it’s from indirect sources. I don’t think it’s my place to share any of it though.

Evan was let go. Salem left. Remy left. It’s pretty easy to guess based on that alone

Anybody know whatever happened with Evan? He did a couple vids after Jake’s death and then I haven’t seen him again? Was thinking he was going to be managing the studio, but guess not

You would have to go back to some of his vids and find the comments sharing the story
