Mark's rimless NPS paradise

[M&M]

That is awesome! What size is that tank? I am loving the look, but I would be so afraid of the brackets ripping out of the wall lol. How did you have them secured?

This is Mr. Aqua 12 gal. long , when full it was about 140 Ibs. , each bracket is rated 100 Ibs, secured directly to studs in wall with 3 screws rated 50Ibs each. So it was more then enough to hold this tank. It was holding without a problem for more then 6 months, before I move its contents in my existing tank.

Nice work Mark as always

Beautiful video of the tank, and what a great room to enjoy it in. I rarely get to see a NPS tank that I would enjoy looking at as much as a reef but I think you've easily met that goal!

Thank you, I find something really mysterious and peaceful about deep water NPS environment, my goal was to try to replicate on small scale in my aquarium.

Stunning..... a great system ....

Thank you

Thank you

I have my fat head dendros with me more then 5 years now, I used to be in SPS game for a while and even had my tank featured here, but I can say I love my Dendros and Suns as well, so I made switch to NPS and don't regret it.

Beautiful tank and inhabitants! What are you feeding? Do you target feed all of those hungry mouths??

I feed different frozen and dry foods. For suns and dendros frozen mysis, brine shrimp, krill, etc., as those like more meaty foods. I target feed once a day, every day. For gorgonians and other filter feeders I feed special formulated dry foods like reef roids, coral frenzy, reef pearls, etc., also liquid like oyster feast, roti feast, phyto feast. I target most of gorgonians twice a day, if I can I do third feeding, on weekends 5-6 times.
Just some samples of dry food

Mark my black sun coral is opening up now. Took your suggestion from your RC thread and put the coral in a pitcher of tank water on the kitchen counter. I add NPS food and let the coral sit I. The mix for a couple of hours. [emoji3][emoji106]
