Re: How many types of coral do you have?

I could not begin to count, last count prior to a massive die off and tank swap we had about 1 coral per gallon in the 300. As the new system settles in I am guessing that close to 50% have survived some 1/4" some still fairly large none of the LPS has been lost.

BIOPELLET reactor who is running one?

Any one still running biopeletts what do you see as positive and negative?

I put them back on on my BAT trying to get back to what made my original system successful with the least amount of trouble.

Re: What have you done for your tank this week?

I also hung a Pharos on what's left of the 40B. This has been a really good light. Thanks for the suggestion Gerwin wouldn't have though of using it.

Re: What have you done for your tank this week?

Pete Zinc Chromate if memory serves was the primer used by the navy, I bet most of the rattlecan paints at least the better ones will work on the Aluminum. 300 is now a memory, the BAT is up and running and have moved about 6 of the LPS colonies from the 40B into it. Tested evels for the first time ...

Re: LESSONS LEARNED!!!

What I find interesting is most of the online prices are so close to Gerwins prices that you really are not saving anything by buying on line. He has yet to tell me no he would not get what I wanted.

Unless I didnt need it...... :evil:

Re: Eric's 225

Eric photos usually have to be written with an r in the img portion of the string to size down so they will show up. I think Doug put a post up on how to do it. Easy once you figure it out

Re: What Is It?

OK I remember the Silent Giants, not Sears though but I lived in the Delta.

Does anyone still use a Diatom Pressure Filter? Looked like a quart mason jar with a cork insert put in Diatom powder to filter your water?

Then both UV bulbs went south causing a Bryopisys invasion. Lost a lot of SPS. But do finally have the 300 under control. We were consid...
