Some people pimp out their cars, this guy chose to pimp out his saltwater tank in true reef junkie fashion. Dave Burr of Vivid Aquariums, the builder and designer of this system, guided my tour. That means I got to see every detail and understand the logic that went into the choices.
To say the least, I learned a lot and have TONS of new ideas for my next build.

I can’t stop drooling! Wow, amazing! Do you know what the total cost was for a build like that?
Hey Mark,
That was a cool ride even from my computer. : )
This is what I’d like to see you put in your bucket, an interview along with a guided tour of one of the the most respected reefers ( reef junkie ) ever. His name David Saxby owner of a 1200 gallon reef tank ( understatement ) this thing is gorgeous.
*Think of what it would do to your ratings * ; )
As always Mark thanks for all your hard work, it is greatly appreciated by myself along with all of your other followers.
Regards,

Hey Mark , speechless ,Now you see a tank like this, How far do you think are you willing to go???

Wow Mark! You are covering some absolutely stunning tanks. Very much appreciated. You are VERY good at what you do.
I was wondering how often he changes out all those filter socks.
Thanks

Dennis..thank you for the complement.
I’m not sure how often he changes the socks, but I’m sure he has a stash of them that he rotates through!
Leonardo…I’m confused on what you mean by “how far you willing to go” Do you mean to film a tank or me building my tank?
David…can’t win if you don’t play
Murat…not that I know of.
Daragh…show her the pretty fish to distract her while you wall it in!
Very AWESOME!
Awesome! Dave helped me with my 125 gal build and I’m extremely happy with it and his store is the best

HAY! Rob you r wright dave saxbys tank best i have seen. Never seen so many fish all together out side of a real reef top tank……..Mark should do a piece on him and his tank.

How was the refugium and other reactors connected to the main system?
