Love

[@anthonysilva5015]

I enjoy your simplified, to the point videos.

[@dray9392]

Great series. I love this dude.

[@lovermansmith9082]

I can't wait

[@BALD8BIL]

Great video I wish videos like this one was out before I start in this hobby!!! I have a question head pressure with 3/4 T connector.

[@trestlew]

Quick thought. With dual 3/4” outlets, you could use the 1” pump bushing. That is unless the return lines are 3/4” and then split. That would be unusual though.

Your the man

Aaron Smith thanks!

@@Saltwateraquariumdotcom can you recommend how to get phosphate down in the fluval evo, no room for a reactor?

[@michaelrinsailova5496]

Love it.. Quick question do dialing down the power of the pump affect the life span of the return pump?

[@edwardthayer9386]

Yes, the added pressure causes strain on the motor!

Hello Mr Saltwater!! congratulations for your channel, I have learned a lot watching your videos. Taking advantage of your experience, please help me to answer a question: I have a small mixed aquarium of 300 L (including sump) and I am going to renew the return pump, in the market (Mexico) the available options are: Vectra S2 or Octopus VisionS2 or VisionS4. Which of those options do you recommend? Thanks for replying and congratulations again. Cheers

can a DC pump handle pushing water from the basement to a main floor tank (approx 15' vertical + few 90's and 5' horizontal) ?

[@cacanhbienvungtau1571]

thank for share, I am setting a sump at Basement of my house. My Display tank in Ground Floor, The distance from sump to main tank about 7-8 meter. What Kind of return pump I should use? Thank so much ( I am thinking about Jebao DCP 20000 )

[@brentthailand5742]

I would love to buy the Sicce SDC 7.0 but probably cost too much to ship to Thailand Amazon wanted more than the pump cost. 😢 If I could get it here and not have to mortgage my house i would ,,

[@erycricardo3087]

I hope this pump sale in my country...

[@Saltwateraquariumdotcom]

eRyc Ricardo I’m sure it is or could be shipped

[@vascojardim6703]

Hey Mark. Let me just say that you are an inspiration to me. I bought all your books and a couple of courses. I love all your videos. Now, PLEASE change the name of the tank!!!! I cant take any of it seriously when the tank is called THE MEGA MATRIX!!!! Really? This sounds like one of those giant robot toys I would buy my kid! Honestly, I have missed a couple of videos on this series because of the title. I just can’t take any info on THE MEGA MATRIX seriously.

[@Saltwateraquariumdotcom]

Vasco Jardim that is the actual retail name of the tank or series of tanks made by planet aquariums

[@vascojardim6703]

SaltwaterAquarium i know!!!! Please get them to change it 😄

[@nimaarezoomandi5325]
