Bigger is better, especially downstairs

That's definitely what she said ;)

Moto Dez - 7 years ago

What Is your best suggestion to growning coralline algae?

Brock Kirschenmann - 7 years ago

I know this video is old but you said in your flashback. You made the mistake on your first/second tanks of adding "real" love reef rock. Why is thst a mistake? Don't you want all the critters from the ocean in your tank, bristle worms and such To move around your sand bed

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 7 years ago

You'll want some critters, but not others. And when you use rock from the ocean, you don't get to choose. I use dry rock now and select which critters I want in the tank and add only those

Andrew M - 7 years ago

I'm just guessing but you aren't married with kids are you ? Hahah wow impressive

RMLLLLL - 8 years ago

Can you dose bicarb instead of running a reactor?

muffemod - 7 years ago

yes

TheNy615 - 8 years ago

On one of your other videos probably one of you're later videos that you're here in Tennessee I am actually in Nashville I am setting up a sump tank/Refugium I would love if you can give me some advice on setting it up

Do you really need a shutoff valve on your drain pipe?

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 9 years ago

No...I had it there just in case I needed to completely isolate the tank.

Etmanning - 9 years ago

your idea of a big sump is 15g? i have a 65g sump on my 90...

baseballhunter42 - 9 years ago

+J S But there are upsides to a larger sump. I agree 15 is too small, but also think 65 on a 90 is excessive. A 20 or preferably a 30 would be a better choice. Comfortable room for all equipment, room to add a refugium, and as a general rule; more water volume = more stable parameters. So it's always helpful to go as big as possible.

J S - 9 years ago

It's not a "must" to go bigger.... You may as well have a sump that is bigger than the whole tank... It just goes around in circles

J S - 9 years ago

As are there no downsides to have the "recommended" sizes

Michael Banich - 9 years ago

+J S I have never heard any successful aquarist say that. I've always heard bigger = better. There are no down sides to having a big refugium and sump.

J S - 9 years ago

Totally unnecessary and overdoing it... Can't hurt but a waste of money and efforts....

How come your have a prior tang on a 90g

mohr cowbell - 10 years ago

NICE

Dee From Brooklyn - 10 years ago

Wow remember these days Mark...

Ivan Aguilar - 10 years ago

I have a 5 gallon. Moving to a 90 gallon in 2 weeks! I've been in the hobby for 3 months now, and I've got to say it's not so complicated at all! My tank has been doing perfect. Just little mistakes in the beginning!!!

Ryan Len - 10 years ago

Are dosing pump necessary

Brodie Ward - 10 years ago

Nope

Ruben Gomez - 10 years ago

Man, your tank is brutal! good job, I just have a 5 gallon reef, had it for over a year, not I am getting ready for something bigger, I am thinking about 75 Gallon, please check my last video and let me know what do you think I could improve.

madice40 - 10 years ago

What live sand would you recommend for a 75 gallon. And what salt brand do you use for your tank.

Nes aquatics - 10 years ago

What r the measurements of your 90 gallon tank height width and length

Kieran Phelps - 10 years ago

yellow tang in a 55?

Kieran Phelps - 9 years ago

Just asked a simple question and you blow it out of proportions

Kieran Phelps - 9 years ago

Don't get all butt hurt on YouTube man

J S - 9 years ago

Then why bother making a comment about someone else having a yellow tang in a 55? Strange man

Kieran Phelps - 9 years ago

I did I have one in my 55 reef

J S - 9 years ago

Yellow tangs are one of only a few tangs that can thrive in less than 6 feet of tank length. They're not as demanding as alot of others with swim space like the hippo... DO YOUR RESEARCH!

great tank. i am currently building my 120g and this inspired me a lot. thanks Mark :)

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 10 years ago

Thank Mv!

Tom Webb - 10 years ago

Watching this has completely put me off wanting a saltwater tank, its put everything in perspective... way too much involved! :(

Rotter Tube Reef - 9 years ago

+Tom Webb I thought the same thing when I started saltwater. It is a lot to learn and I'm still learning. Once you get the routine down it's easy. I thought I would never get it since there is so much to it.

J S - 9 years ago

You can always go the fish only live rock route, u can use a simple canister for just fish without corals and inverts. Just keep up on water changes and over filter the heck out of it with more than half the amount of gallons in pounds of live rock.

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 10 years ago

Tom…everything seems complicated when you first look at them. The more your learn, the more it makes sense.

CBlitzEntertainment - 11 years ago

Very Informative. You mentioned "Tank personalities "and that you were a "Tank Dabbler". Would you mind commenting further on "Tank Personalities"?

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

CBlitzEntertainment…all of the tank personalities are explained in my "tank personality report" that you can get on my website.

ROBERT WARD - 11 years ago

hey there my salty freind.Have a bit of a cyano(red slime) problem.ive added a phosphate reactor and my skimmer is running well,plus i have active carbon aswell.my tank is 265 ltrs cube really love this tank,but dont love my new slimy freind any tips?thanks for you're time ..

Peenut Onfire - 11 years ago

I mean like whats the avr

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

depends on which model you go with and what brand.

Peenut Onfire - 11 years ago

so how much does it usually cost

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

that's fine. There are several hang on back filters for small tanks. There are even some nano media reactors that sit in the back of the tank submerged

Peenut Onfire - 11 years ago

but I think mine is only a 15 gallon

bpalme - 11 years ago

Try running a carbon reactor.

Peenut Onfire - 11 years ago

how do u keep the water so clean? mine always turns yellow

wetbaggle - 11 years ago

Do more videos!

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

The melanarus wrasse will easily out compete the mandarin for foods. I only recommend Mandarins if they are eating frozen/prepared foods.

Nick C - 11 years ago

Hey do you think I could put a green mandarin goby in a 90 gallon tank with a yellow tang and a yellow kole tang? Also, do you think he would get enough to eat with a melanarus wrasse in the tank due to the fact that it also picks for food among the rocks. Thanks in advance

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

you are correct James in that if the return pump isn't flowing, then there won't be water coming down the overflow pipe

James Upton - 11 years ago

if the return pump fails in the sump am I right in thinking that because you run a tank overflow filter that the sump wont overflow as there will be no water to trickle in to the overflow pipe going down in to your cabinet or do you use some other safety mechanism?

matthew dames - 11 years ago

if you haven't already, please do an in-depth review of the MP40's. im really interested in hearing what you have to say about them before I buy.

Dalton Leu - 11 years ago

would two radion gen 2 lights be suffice for a 90 gallon tank? or would you need three. And what are your thoughts on carbon reactor and BFO and a calcium reactors? do you think i would need those? Thanks! have any thoughts about the photon48 LED pretty price efficient. I have t5 currently and a saltwater reef tank! Thanks

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

sorry...I'm a saltwater guy only.

_Rc_Drift_86 - 11 years ago

Do a nano freshwater tank

joe eoj - 11 years ago

Wait you are ok with that purple tang in a 90 because i am getting a 90 and want a purple tang

Tommy Le - 11 years ago

If j have a 10 gallon marine aquarium wit only live rock , shrimp and fish , how would i cure ich ?

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

Stick with the sump, drop the canister filter.

Kalyan E - 11 years ago

You really shouldn't use a canister filter on a saltwater tank, they're really more for freshwater.

Nicholas Smith - 11 years ago

I have had fresh water aquariums for 5+ years, but would like to start a salt water aquarium. I would like to start a salt water aquarium and would like to know what size do you recommend? Thank you.

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

I'd avoid the mushrooms as they can over everything. Torch wouldn't be a bad choice

Tommy Le - 11 years ago

Can i add some mushrooms as well, and what about lhard corals like torch coral?

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

try some softies like zoanthids. Easy keepers yet very pretty

Tommy Le - 11 years ago

I have a nano aquarium with 2 15 watt bulbs on my 10 gallon aquarium, what corals can i place in there, any suggestions?

dj201199 - 11 years ago

I just added a Banggai Cardinal about an hour ago, and put in some mysis shrimp and he ate! Im pretty happy.. I'm so glad im in the Saltwater Tank hobby!

SkodaRacer - 11 years ago

Hi Mark, many thanks for all your excellent videos. I have a salt water FOWLR tank with an external canister filter, i'm upgrading to a sump system, should i still use the external filter as well as a sump? Many thanks again.

Sher John Paquingan - 11 years ago

I mean how do you keep your tank stable.. How many times do tou change water? Algae control and how do you keep your corals healthy? Do you add any supplements?? Im sorry for my questions lol... Im just amazed how you maintain your tank! :)

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

Thanks! What do you mean by "stable"?

Sher John Paquingan - 11 years ago

hi! big fan of your tank!! i guess hard-work really paid off.. i have to ask how long does it took your tank stable?

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

Freshwater has never interested me much so after my starter goldfish bowl and 10g angelfish aquarium, I moved onto saltwater and never looked back

zoofergee - 11 years ago

why

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

No freshwater. Only salt.

zoofergee - 11 years ago

do u own any freshwater tanks?if so would love to see them

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

yeppers!

Tom Luu - 11 years ago

do you keep your tunze wavebox on all the time?

재 재 - 11 years ago

So handsome :-)

william churchman - 11 years ago

no they say start with atleast a 55g because you can mess things up with small amounts of water.

umiofjapan - 11 years ago

Hi,how can I install ph probe into apex jr.cant find the plug for it.

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

Yes if you educate yourself and care for it responsibly vs taking the "let's try this and see what happens!" approach!

dj201199 - 11 years ago

Would a 29 gallon be big enough for 1 green chromis, 1 lawnmower blenny, 2 clowns, 1 pajama cardinal, and a catilina goby? And a sump, what would be an apropriate size like 10g. Or just hang the skimmer on the back? Thanks.

Devon Schneidt - 11 years ago

Mark, Im in the process of building a stand and I like the kind that was on your 90 gallon. Did you have a false black front with the handles? and I guess you just took it off easy enough when you hand to get under your tank? I like the idea.

Archie Gaxiola - 11 years ago

Do you have a video on aquascaping? I have 56 gallon column and just can't seem to get it right.

dj201199 - 11 years ago

I want a 55 gallon but my parents say it's to big.

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

not a bad size. I prefer something bigger. Just make sure you don't put a tang in that tank.

dj201199 - 11 years ago

Would a 29 gallon be a good size for a first saltwater?

Jessie Nicoletti - 11 years ago

you say you bulit your canopy ? do you have a video for it or plans i have a 90 gal and got 2 new led lights to replace my power compact and hanging it is proveing a bit of a challenge due to a trop cealing

coolguywithagirl - 11 years ago

why not have both?

Nano Reef - 11 years ago

that is true, I have seen some very nice planted freshy tanks, but you have to admit the colors that you can get for corals are much more than freshwater plants. But freshwater planted tanks can deffinatly compete with saltwater tanks.

Ben Larsen - 11 years ago

What is the exact lighting you had on this i really like the color in the video? I know you say what it is in the vid but what are the color temps and are the VHOs even on in the video?.... any detail would be awesome

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

glennz tees is the place

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

correct

elfteemo - 11 years ago

HOLD ON, who says saltwater tanks are better, im pretty sure a nicely aquascaped fresh water tank is just as beautiful as a reef tank.

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

2 tanks old now!

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

Thanks Aden! I get my T-shirts from glennz I can't post links in comment replies

Aden seeley - 11 years ago

Where do you get your awesome T-shirts? Ps I love ur channel one of the best on youtube.

dj201199 - 11 years ago

I plan on getting a 40 gallon breeder, would a 20gallon long be a good tank to convert?

Anthony B - 11 years ago

I need help!!! I got a 29 gallon oceanic biocube, with a ton of green hair algae. I recently switched to RO/DI water about 3 months ago. I scrub the rocks with a tooth brush I get it off and then make a water change, and also change the filter pads etc. But after about a week its back.

john briones - 11 years ago

oh alright that makes a lot of sense,, ive seen your build with the 90g system for one of your clients ,impressed , was wondering if i can go through you to get that system and if you can sign the false stand cover lol

Mark2124 - 11 years ago

What is your opinion on an Eco pico

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

a lot of the cooling capacity of cooling fans depends on the air temp and the airflow in the room. My 90g tank was in the same room as the return air for the AC so I had a lot of air flow through the room, which helped take away the hot moist air.

john briones - 11 years ago

im shocked mark that you have 2 250w MH running in the system with a closed canopy on it and you have no chiller yet your system stays below 80degrees that seems almost impossible ,lol i have a 48 inch fixture and 2 150w mh with 4 t5s on it and my system is rimless and i can not keep the temp under 79 without a chiller

Jonn Mendez - 11 years ago

hey i have a question i just build my canopi top i i was just wondering if the smell of wood staing will harm any of my fish i lef it outside for 2 days for it to dry but it still smell a bit thanks

15290calvo - 11 years ago

Hey I just boght 2 engender gobies and 2 fierfish and they always hide what do I do check out my tank

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

55g for the win!

twiztedmusky - 11 years ago

I have a 55 chiclid tank and a 45 community tank, well im going to be starting saltwater, should i go with 30 gal, since i have extras, or go with a 55 to start to make it more stable?

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

Thanks! I miss my 90g at times.

AquaStudent - 11 years ago

I loved this tank. I'm even more excited that you upgraded this tank! The new setup looks great!

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 11 years ago

I wouldn't worry about the dog hair and jumping fish can be contained either by canopy, or a mesh top.

Vincent Agresto - 11 years ago

Mark - do you use any type of cover over the water? I have a dog and am worried about dog hair - plus I hear that some fish are jumpers. Thank you! - Vince

u mentioned you are running two 250 halide. do u think in all electric equipment that u have how much in term of dollars will be added to your monthly bill?

Ross Norwood - 12 years ago

Ok a few questions, first off how much does a tank that size cost, I've wanted a 90gal tank for a while but never can find one and can't find the price, second how much does a filtration system like that cost, and would that be near the best filtration or somewhere in between bare minimum and maximum, lastly and sorry for all the questions, but how did you build your hood and lighting system

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 12 years ago

good water quality is about the best you can do. There is no sure-fire way to get coraline to grow.

Keinan Joss - 12 years ago

if someone could please tell me how do you get coral to grow on the back of the tank like that thanks

Matt Dolan - 12 years ago

Gaurav398 - 12 years ago

Hey mark, i'm really confused about sumps. Firstly, on what part of the sump do you dose the magnesium/calc./alkalinity in? Also, what does does alkalinity do? Lastly, what in your tank gets rid of ammonia? all you have is a skimmer and refugium. Don't you have a canister filter or a place for bioballs/biological media? Or is that much stuff in your sump enough? please reply asap! i want to get my first ever 60 gallon tank set up.

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 12 years ago

Not needed.

FOWLR4NOW - 12 years ago

Danny Trevino - 12 years ago

Insanonaga - 12 years ago

So.... Ive been doing my homework. Ive kept freshwater fisb off and on for a number of years. I wanna do a simple softie, mushroom, and zoa tank. Maybe possibly an anemone or a pulsing xenia, but no sps or lps. plenty of live rock and a nice protein skimmer with t-5 lighting. My water is like, the cleanest in the nation. Could I get away with skimping on rodi and just use conditioner, or can

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 12 years ago

I was experimenting with some of their products but do not use or recommend them

Indoreefable - 12 years ago

Are you using brighwell products? Because I'm curious about the black bottle at 5:26. Sorry about my english... I'm from Indonesia

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 12 years ago

the whole tank was carbon dosed and you can see the results

virgil smith - 13 years ago

Yeah that's where I bought my mj-1200's. That was last month. They have sinced added a picture of the cobalts with their brs reactor and recommending them instead. Wish I would have know.

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 13 years ago

@basicinstinct911 I'm not as I have lower flow pump that works well, but if I needed more flow (which most people do), I'd go with the Cobalt. Bulk Reef Supply sells them

virgil smith - 13 years ago

You're using the cobalts on yours?

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 13 years ago

@basicinstinct911 Checkout the new cobalt MJ 1200. Word is it is quiet where the MarineLand MaxiJet 1200's aren't.

virgil smith - 13 years ago

what kind of pump is on your brs reactor? My 1200 pumps are noisy

@VitalApparatuz I Think he got it from bulkreef supply under two part solution accessories thats where I got mine.

jonathan peyton - 13 years ago

Thanks for the personal look at Mr SaltwaterTank :) Where'd you get the tube holder? You said you were carboon dosing. Where is that reactor? Or are you just manually dosing vodka?

Could I run bio balls, DIY skimmer, and deep sandbed refugium.

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 13 years ago

@70gallonfishtank the front of the canopy has a door that opens so I can feed the fish, etc.

@geraldgustav What RO/DI water thing are you referring to?

gerald gustav - 14 years ago

where can i get the rodi water thing from.? please let me know

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 14 years ago

@MrHomeSkilet saltwater is way easier than freshwater that's for sure!

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 14 years ago

@SoSpiky Nope, no strontium. Coraline growth is a function of good water parameters - Alk/Ca/Mg. Adding strontium won't have an effect on coraline growth.

MrHomeSkilet - 14 years ago

i love your videos. i have been fishing my whole life in MI and just got a fresh water tank for the shit of it. and i am obsessed. i work on it all the time lol but i can do better with cooler fish. goin into the the Marine corps soon so in four years ima drop like 5k into a tank. still not getting the filtration and some of your vocabulary.

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 14 years ago

@Adam141516 Depends on how much you have to spend and how size tank you are going to start with. That's where you need to start. Keep in mind bigger is better.

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 14 years ago

@ifUdidwoodU It's the same footprint as a 90G tank, 4' across, 18" deep

ifUdidwoodU - 14 years ago

what are the dimensions of the canopy

ifUdidwoodU - 14 years ago

cool

ifUdidwoodU - 14 years ago

cool

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 14 years ago

@gmoney1961 The canopy sits on top of the tank and the fixture then sits on top of the canopy.

gmoney1961 - 14 years ago

Love your canopy design....any video of how it's put together? Doe it sit on legs or directly on top of the canopy?

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 14 years ago

@geraldgustav you are welcome! When are you planning on setting up the tank?

gerald gustav - 14 years ago

thanks for the videos. they showed me a lot of info for my future salt water tank. nice vids.

Love the video, very informative. I do have a question, where did you get the dosing tube holder from? I cant' seem to find them.

@KimLegend93 I prefer a wet skimmate as when I run a dry skimmate, I've found too much solid particles get stuck in the neck of the skimmer. When this happens, the skimmer loses efficiency so it isn't taking out as much junk as it should. A wetter skimmate leaves more of the solids in the collection cup.

@mrsaltwatertank that will be cool you

@zacguitarshreder12 I will once we move. The tank is actually the perfect size for the room its in. Any bigger and it'd over power the room. Part of our next home search will be that there has to be a wall that backs up to the garage so that I can put the sump and all equipment out there, leaving only the display tank in the house.

nice tank but do you ever plan on getting a bigger tank just wondering im always wanting a bigger tank?

BALDWINAQUAMAN - 14 years ago

I see all those bottles under your tank next to your sump, what are they, and what all do you dose in your tank, also what test kit do you use, and what do you test for?

@uceid Thanks! I'll stay after it!

@mrsaltwatertank Hey mark, do you still see a nice grow with the 20ks. I need too change my bulbs next month; tired of my 10ks..lol

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 14 years ago

@njoyrid he's right, the new K's are better for not knocking with wavemakers like the old ones.

Mr. Saltwater Tank TV - 14 years ago

@haivang1 Reeflux 20K.

Philippe Brisson - 14 years ago

@vdre3 If you are using Koralias; make sure its the Evolution because, the older ones, you cant put them with wavemakers of any kind. If you are a reef junkie, go get the mp60w or mp40w from vortech, they are awesome
