Mark, the tank rocks….
Wow, that tank is amazing! Can’t wiat to see it up and running.
Wow mark,that really nice !
Welcome back to TN. 🙂
Mark the new 235 gallon Aquarium is certainly going to allow you to really have quite the Reef tank.. Look forward to watching the tank go along here over the next several months etc.. Jimbo
LOVE IT. Who’s the builder?
I’m in the market too this summer. Looking for a 48x48x24 (240 gall) with the overflow and return in the center of the tank so I can see it from four sides. Yes it will be set in the middle of my home office.
Seems going to be a peninsula this time? Gluck Mark
Super Sweet!
The tank looks great Mark, Congrats
It is going to be exciting to see what you are going to put in it ;=)
Have you changed your tank personality?
I am looking forward to follow you.
Ps. I hope the move went well for you guys

Mark how did you teats the light strength in your old tank do you have video on how you did it so I can upgrade to LED’S on my old tank so I don’t fry everything in the tank seen the tip about screening the light’s for a bit to aqua mat new light’s
Really nice tank, please put down some shows as i’ll be starting in my new home in a few months from now. The dimensions you got are quite similar to what i want so i’m curious about a lot of stuff you are going to choose.
Congrats on the new tank! You shoulda went 6′ to avoid the wrath of the tang police. You know they have you under surveillance–lol. So what’s the deal–this Friday’s tip was no detergent on your dedicated fish towel, and there you are looking all pretty in your new tank, fully clothed and with shoes on. You must be getting cooties all over your new tank! So please in future if you are going to lounge about in your new tank please do so nude, or with at most a dedicated fish towel loincloth. Also curious like one of the posters from the other related thread–if you have multiple VorTechs that have a wave maker function–what added benefit does the Tunze wave maker give you?
For a skimmer I’m hoping you will consider one of these http://www.avastmarine.com/ssc/do/product/captains/CS2-BlackPearl-Skimmer
Which has every skimmer bell and whistle known to man on it, and nothing is too good For Mr. Saltwater Tank I say! They do show they are currently out of stock–maybe they can get you one before you new tank is up and running?
im am so taking a picture in my tank too b 4 i set it up lolz for a video of my tank youtube my email or user name
How’s about some contact info for Dutch Aquarium Systems? Google search comes up with little to nothing.
Wayne…here you go: http://www.mrsaltwatertank.com/site/das
Bedlamer…I was contemplating a 6′ tank but where the tank is going to sit it wouldn’t fit! I can’t mess with physics.
Avast makes good gear but that skimmer uses the Sicce pump. I’ve had a Sicce pump before and it was horrible. Very, very loud. I’ll never have one again.
Nordic…I”m already a reef junkie…I guess I could change to “super reef junkie”
Murat…not a peninsula tank. I’ll explain more in a future episode.
Ben…builder is Dutch Aquarium Systems
mark, your new tank looks awesome, can’t wait to see more videos of the new tank being set up, good luck! p.s. how did the move go?
mark good luck and have a good time doing the videos 🙂
oh forgot to mention my son and I are big fans, we hope to have a tank like yours some day and my sons email is [email protected]
Nice tank, I am building a set up with a.
60x30x24. Love the specs, can’t wait to see how you build it!
mark like the tank and it will rock when you get it rolling with live rock and sand.
Sharon…I’ll start the tank with dry rock and sand. No need for the live stuff.
Sharon, you miss that video of his? No live rock with the ickies . Lol
Great looking tank mark
Yeeeeaaaaaaaaaaa Buuuddddyyyyy!
i love the aquascape
Hmmm…. maybe Uber Reef Junkie or Extreme Reef Junkie… or perhaps Raving Reef Junkie might be more suited to your level of Reef Junkie fever Mark…
lol @ Jon – Its certainly unusual… you’ve gotta wonder where he’s going to put the BTA… 😀
Hi Mark. Great video. I look forward to the progress of the build. Just a friendly tip: the links you put in your descriptions, are not clickable. If you add “http:/” before the site name, it will become a link in the description, and be clickable.
awsome tank!!! feels like i got new tank. can’t wait till its full.
Your going to be useing dry rock i dont know if youve mentioned it before but were do you get your rock from?
I just thought of something. You bought a 235 gallon glass tank any reason you didn’t buy acrylic? I myself like the advantages of acrylic especially not having to worry about seams busting.
derek…acrylic scratches very easily and holds a lot of heat. I’ll never have an acrylic tank unless I am trying to achieve a unique shape like a curved or cylinder.
Mark,
Question… if you have a 65g tank… would you recommend one MP40 or two? Tank is 36x18x24… just trying to get better insite on a question that has been bothering me for a few weeks now.
Hey mark, awesome tank! just wondering where you got the rock from? thanks
Mark…the rock came from Real Reef
Hey Mark,
you said you have an account with real reef does this mean you sell it? there’s no LFS in my area that carries it in the piedmont of N.C.
