    Hey Mark,

    Great video! Have you been working out?

  • Byron says:

    Nice comedy Mark : )

  • Tyler…I’ve been hitting the juice pretty hard over the summer…j/k. I’ve been riding my bike a lot in preparation for a 103 mile ride

  • Gotta mix it up some Byron! All work and no play makes any saltwater tank keeper a dull boy.

  • Adam Baggett says:

    Wow now thats a pump. Little too much for my 70 gal me thinks!

  • Gary Madison says:

    Ok, Mark. That was awesome. But I’m having trouble with the mount of my Minn Kota to the side of my 90 gal tank….and, more problematically, there’s no blade guard, so I lost three tangs and a wrasse so far. OTOH the coral seems to like the blended fish… I’m getting much better polyp extension on the acros.

    Thanks again!

    Wow, how much is the pump going for?! That’s insane power! Acros would love it!!!…will they? lol

  • David Pettit says:

    Only in Texas!

    Great video, looks like you need a little weight gain 3000. j/k John if your looking for a cheaper protein skimmer that works, Eshopps makes a descent skimmer for a great price. thats what i use on my 75gallon reef.

  • Danny…list is $3600 I believe.

  • Sean…check this one out
