[@colsonscritters]

Thanks for watching!!! Let me know what your favorite part of Mark’s tank was! Also huge shoutout to Mark for letting me come out. Subscribe for more :)

[@eillyacostandinides3344]

Thanks for video. Mark ia cute but we are here for tank would suggest while talking to keep cam or tank and not the owner

[@BrianSmith-cg9jc]

Another great video buddy! Might want to invest in a better camera though. It kept getting light then dark. Love the idea of tank tours!

[@erichtomanek4739]

That's an award winning tank if I've ever seen one! It's a better coral reef than anything you'd see in the coral triangle. It would be awesome if the lower tank (somehow) was as large as the main tank!

[@colsonscritters]

Hahah definitely my favorite tank I’ve ever seen in person. I wish I could have taken everyone with me because the camera doesn’t even do it justice. That lower tank is even nicer than my tanks and he says he just throws his scrap frags down there haha

[@queencityreefs]

Great tank tour Colson. He truly has an amazing display tank. Bravo to him! Thanks for sharing!

[@colsonscritters]

Thank you!!! It was so much fun and an absolute blast to film

[@DhG4410]

Best video yet, loved him going through and referencing the Latin names as well

[@colsonscritters]

Thanks Corey! Mark knows all the Latin names, he’s a super smart guy

[@Saltwatertank]

What a beautiful tank

[@maceysdaddy5150]

What an amazing tank Mark!!! Great video Colson. Really enjoyed it! I would have liked to see much more of the tank as Mark was talking. All-in-all a really great video!!! Keep them coming.

[@colsonscritters]

Thanks, More to come!

[@westsida101]

[@petarst]

[@Aaaaaaaa-gw9sj]

Nice video!

[@colsonscritters]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@eliot167]

This is such a great video!!!

[@colsonscritters]

Thank you!

[@wjr3013]

Hey Colson, what a beautiful Reef Tank. My favorite part is the corals. They are Absolutely stunning as far as variety and colors. The selection of his fish are awesome as well. He really takes great care of his tank and it shows. I also appreciated the fact that he explained things in a very good wayso it was very easy to understand. You obviously know some very interesting and knowledgeable people. Thank You, as always Colson, for sharing and shout out to Mark for letting You show his 180 gallon Reef Tank. I agree, it is one of the most beautiful tanks I've ever seen. Can't wait to see where You take us next. Take Care and Thank You again.

[@colsonscritters]

Thank you!

[@ArrickthaRed]

This tank looks great. The scape is amazing.

[@colsonscritters]

Ikr!!! Absolutely stunning

[@Reefer_NYC]

gorgeous! well done

[@colsonscritters]

Thank you so much!

[@damienpotgieter4514]

Not sure if I missed it, what are the dimensions of the tank?

[@colsonscritters]

I don’t actually know the exact dimensions but I can definitely find out and get back to you!

[@colsonscritters]

Ok I found out the dimensions and they are 30w x 62L x 24H

[@FlyingWind]

im always looking at the bubble tips in tanks. when i see huge full bubbles i try to see where its placed. most the bubble tips with full bubbles have lil flow around them

[@colsonscritters]

Personally in my puffer tank I’ve noticed my bubble tips also gain more of a bubble in lower flow as well

[@jdavidp66]

Awesome reef tank. You're lucky having a neighbor with that tank. ( it's like can I have frag of this and that..etc! ) Kudos to Mark 👌👏

[@colsonscritters]

Thank you! I know right!!! Crazy, thanks for watching

[@PeterAndWillAnderson]

Incredible!

[@ryenotwin2503]

Miss you man!! 😘

[@colsonscritters]

Miss you too!

[@BrianSmith-cg9jc]

Mark, I’m so jealous of your tank! It’s absolutely amazing! I wish any of my fish would spawn. 😊 I never in 1 million years thought I’d see an emperor angel in a reef tank, let alone a mating pair of butterfly fish!! Do you have any meaty LPS? Like acans , trachy or scoly?

[@colsonscritters]

He had a lobo but from what I saw he didn’t have any other meaty lps

[@espinosajorge89]

great video, buddy! what are the measurements of this tank?

[@estonianreefer2851]

Beautiful tank. I don't think I could handle nipping and no polyp extension. 😅

[@colsonscritters]

Hahha me too but absolutely stunning. I would be worried all the time.

[@Reefahholic]

Wow Mark, very impressive system! ✅💯🔥

[@colsonscritters]

Very!

[@michellesmith9224]

Amazing tank and set up. Maybe he can come over and redo Dad’s. 🙃

[@andrewkarlsen1918]

My favorite was Davis standing in the background

[@colsonscritters]

Hahha he was just in shock! We both were. In person was even cooler than on camera

[@ChristopherDivine]

Sweet tank! I didn't know what Acropora hoeksemai was in demand right now. I always thought it was a coral I didn't see a lot in the hobby. I have a lot of it and it seems to be hardy and grow well.

[@colsonscritters]

Me too!

[@李宗育-g4y]

I’m curious about the butterflies can’t eat the carols?

[@mads280]

How thick is the glass?

[@vickyhatter9699]

3/4”

[@brianmansan]

Which one is better ? NEPTUNE APEX or XEPTA AUTOBALANCE to maintain Alkalinity (Kh) ??

[@vickyhatter9699]

Not familiar with any testing unit other than Apex Neptune Trident. I don’t use it to “control” alkalinity, only test it. Any adjustments needed to dose I do manually. I don’t let Neptune change dosing based on readings. I find it accurate but they do wear down, I’m on my first refurbished unit after 3 years of continuos use.

[@Cgraseck]

Hey, New sub here. Great vid! Can't wait to see more. Cheers, Chris Teaching kids about climate change and ocean acidification with corals in the classroom.

[@colsonscritters]

Thanks for the sub!

[@Skadoodlenoodle64]

The dude in the back is smiling as much as i do looking at aquariums

[@colsonscritters]

Hahaha so true!

[@oceanchaser]

one very expensive hobby a lot of work and time. i was told you can't have a power outage must have a have emergency power source to keep the lights, temperature, must stay stable if water temperature drops, or over heats things die easily like the corals . Very sensitive system. what do you do to keep the nitrates down water changes. This is one beautiful tank just gorgeous.

[@vickyhatter9699]

I use my Neptune doses to dose Red Sea No Pox on a daily regimen as I don’t use a refugium. Essentially, it’s the same thing as vodka dosing.

[@markushoehle1207]

What is he using for Filtration?

[@vickyhatter9699]

Mechanical and protein skimmer

[@theWazimu]

thats a decent tank yes!

[@aslikrts2796]

Are the fish for sale?

[@petarst]

How we can get Marks contact?

[@colsonscritters]

He doesn’t have a way for you to contact him but if you have any questions feel free to comment and I can try my best to answer. If I don’t know the answer then I can definitely ask him and get back to ya!

[@adamprice8382]

Dude has angels and a pearl scale butterfly. You know they gotta be picking at polyps.

[@Taylor.Natale]

Fun seeing a tank tour! Maybe this should be a series? 🤔

[@colsonscritters]

Definitely a good idea 🤔

[@dddaan2]

#Goals even that Tarpon on the wall

[@danafoster6618]

All of them!

[@boynologo2462]

Can you teach me how to raise seahorses?

[@colsonscritters]

I used to keep them way back in the day. They aren’t too difficult I would just recommend to keep them alone and not with other fish. Unless they are super passive fish

[@DibeezyTheGifted]

Tank dimensions?

[@Ray-wr2wr]

what is the dimensions of the tank?

[@colsonscritters]

They are 30w x 62L x 24H

[@shanereich8944]

the secret is actually.... Money...

[@colsonscritters]

Hahhaah that might just be it

[@A-GoldenBar]

Bro . Film the tank not the human

[@iainaquariumagic]

I will be uploading a promotion video today. Your channel is featured on it. Hope this helps 👍🐠🐟💦

[@colsonscritters]

Awesome thank you!

[@iainaquariumagic]

@@colsonscritters your so welcome 🐠 🐟 💦

[@bmack3519]

Gotta adjust ur brightness homie. Abnormally dark…..

[@gianmarcofiliberti6762]

Ma quanto paga il tizio di bolletta? Giusto pe sapé

[@IamNoOne-001]

The video is strangely underexposed.

[@6jdhd]

Just a FYI you can not put butterfly fish or empire angel in a reef tank. Do not listen to this guy. Unless you have a 400g and above yes. So much bad info in the video.

[@colsonscritters]

I mean he has a 180 and is obviously doing it. Hahha but it is always a risk to put them in any tank

[@jakereiland]

Yea he clearly has no idea what he’s doing or talking about 🙄 not like he’s successfully keeping a stunning reef tank with multiple butterfly fish in it or anything

[@jeremy87turbo87]

Fisher like people, there are some supposed meat eaters that are going to be vegetarians. And there are vegetarians that will eat your coeach. Fish is their own characteristics. It's not species wide, just like dogs. Cats, rabbits, pigs, chickens, fish, fish, fish. To each is their own.

[@sarahandreasen9545]

Awesome video Colson!

[@colsonscritters]

Thank you
