It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for - the tank reveal! In this Part 3 episode of Mr Saltwater Tank Reacts, Mark finishes his tour of Reefer Jacob's set-up by FINALLY checking out the display tank. Join us as we discuss stocking strategies, why he doesn’t like zoas, and why adding GSP is being considered. Jacob will also share his advice for anyone just getting into the hobby or who is struggling with getting their tank back on track.

I have to admit I was a little disappointed when seeing the display. Obviously he is very happy with it and he should be. This is what I love about the hobby. It satisfies so many sub hobbies.. DIYers, Gear Junkies, engineers, Stick heads, etc. To each his own. I personally see this guy completely redoing his fish room side all over before he gets a bigger display. But that is what he loves and kudos to you. Do what you love and enjoy every minute! Thanks for sharing this amazing home system.

Every tank is different and kudos to him for an impressive fish room. I love the fact he is halide guy. Being in the hobby since the late 70’s i have seen all the fads and trends and a firm believer to stick with what works for you and your tank no matter what the latest craze may be. Thanks for sharing.

@jeffk.6612 3 жыл бұрын

It's not the size that matters... It's the motion of the ocean (and where you're told to stick it). Seriously, all jokes aside, I'm a maker/builder myself and I completely get it. I'd probably take it one step further print out the circuit boards and solder on the electronic components piece by piece. At the end of the day the only thing that matters is doing what you love and loving what you do. Great work!

In some ways this matches so many of the reef tanks on KZfaq because it's all about the gear. There is tank after tank of the gear being more impressive than the display, and this time it's no different. It's true what they say. There are a lot of equipment geeks in the hobby.

Know this is an old post, just I read it and I totally agree. I’ve been struggling with my tank recently just not looking that healthy, I figured the issue was over filtering, so I took my roller mat offline, leaving just a skimmer, within a couple of days my corals look happier and finally my nutrients are coming up.

I'm curious about that tank, is that a metal frame around it? I see a black shiny covering at the corner, and can't quite tell if it's just superficial to maybe hide seams where glass panels go together, or if it's a coated piece of metal (of some sort) as added strength beyond the silicone.

@jacobhall4812 4 жыл бұрын

The black shiny covering on the back end is just acrylic. The overflow side has two 12” square dry boxes built into the aquarium that holds the dry side of MP60’s. I put up a extruded aluminum frames on the back side and slid in black acrylic panels. That gives me something to mount the controllers to and places to easily mount plumbing clamps. The aquarium does have a metal frame top and bottom but it’s all covered up by the counter on the bottom and woodwork on the top.
