  • Clark says:

    Go Ravens.

  • keith says:

    great idea
    GOOOOOOOOOO Saints

  • Doug says:

    Nice tip….. I have a solana and kept track of how much it took when filling it to capacity with the live rock in it, when I first set it up, so I now know how much was displaced. I’m pulling for the Broncos too, although he isn’t Elway, I like his positive attitude.

  • Larry says:

    I have a 46 gallon saltwatertank im using tap water and have been for about 6months i just bought a RODI system and was wondering.how to change.the water in the tank . i do have live rock 4 fish and a polyp in the tank. Do i change the water in the hole tank or just do a % of water change

  • TJ says:

    Glad you talked about this because this is something I thought about. What about sand, that displaces some water too?

    How do I determine how many gallons get displaced?

  • Alex Taylor says:

    Love the shout out for Tebow Mark! I never really like the Broncos until this year either. Keep making great videos!

  • Paco says:

    @Larry I believe if u start doing weekly water changes soon u will be 100% rodi …

  • VirtualDan says:

    I say you have to go with the home team, Mark! GO TEXANS!!!

  • Thierry says:

    @larry: I would just continu doong my water changes as usual, but wirh rodi water from now on. After a time you ll be all rodi. Changing it all at once isn’t good anyways.

  • Eric says:

    GO BRONCOS! TEBOW TOME!!!!

  • ocegueda79 says:

    No!!!! Tebow & go Raiders

  • Luke says:

    Your rock may displace more than you think I just set up a 65 with a 40 gal sump. I put 65 pounds of Fiji dry rock in the main tank and probably 10 in the sump. You also need to remember that the sand dose the same thing. I kept track of how much water went in and I only have about 70 gal total. I have about a 5 inch sand bed. Just something to think about. Thanks for the videos they help a lot.

  • Chris says:

    For all the Tebow fans

    PS – @Frankie – I’m not sure 41 points is lucky 🙂

  • Cliff says:

    Is this a tip from Mr Saltwater tank or did I pull up ESPN by mistake, go Brady!!!

  • Jeff…honestly I can’t say I’m a Broncos fan b/c I don’t keep up with them. I keep an eye on them during playoffs and after that awesome pass over the Steelers, I had to put something in about the Teebow bow!

  • Ike says:

    Mark, why would aerating and heating my mixed water before use, go from a 1.026 down to 1. 016 specific gravity?

  • allen says:

  • Byron says:

    Simple math.

  • Simon says:

    Hey guys,
    Hi Mark. Just wondering about something. When doing water changes does the above rule apply? So if Mark has 90 Gallon Display tank does he do 5% of that or total tank and sump volume? I always thought it was just display tank volume.

    Cheers!
