I've read that you can use white dolomite as substrate.

My tank is 8 months old now with a dolomite substrate. It's working quite well and my sandsifter has been in there since the get go and he's great. Other than moving all of my sand around. I just bought the fine dolomite that they use for raising the ph in gardens?? anyway, that worked great.

Ok so the wife and I went to the pedal to the metal tour in eugene. The line up was supposed to be: Suicide Silence, Bury Your Dead, Static X, Black Label Society, and Mudvayne. Hellzapoppin who is a bunch of circus sideshow freaks were supposed to entertain between sets. (we'll get to this in a few)

We get to the show and find out that Zakk Wylde (Vocals, lead guitar for black label) is in the hospital with blood clots on his lungs. Not good. About 50 percent of the reason for me to go to this show was to see this guitar legend play. That put a damper on the night. this Damper was quickly forgotten as soon as Bury Your Dead took the stage. These guys flat out PERFORMED. Great music. Great Vocals. Just good stuff. Had the crowd goin. Especially good for opening act. Ok so I was pretty pumped about this show now. I really really like this band.

Next came Suicide Silence. The only cool thing about this band was the name. Well I take that back. The music was good but their vocalist might as well have been reading from the Eugene phonebook. It was flat out miserable for my ears. I actually hated the act. They really should take a tip from their name. Not the suicide part but the silence would work for me=)

Ok Now with Static X. They reenforced my love for heavy metal music and live shows. They were outstanding. Sounded good and all of that good stuff. I'm not even a huge Static X fan but I would absolutely go see them again. No questions asked.

Now MUDVAYNE!! Great as always. Not a whole lot to say about them, they were the headliners and showed us why.

Ok Hellzapoppin. These guys were a bunch of FREAKS, but the freaks knew what it took to entertain a crowd. They did a bunch of suspension with hooks and cables and all that good stuff but the best part was the HOT CHICK that swallowed a 27 inch curved blade. Oh and she is only 5'4". That is amazing to me.

All in all, Static X stole the show. It was a good time and the cuthbert is a great place to see a concert. I'll go back.

I can't keep xenia in my system for anything. What little bit I had died off on me as soon as I upgraded my skimmer and sump.

I have 14k sps in my tank and I get mixed feelings about them. They aren't par crazy bulbs but they are 400 watters over a 24inch deep tank so it's not really that big of an issue. I really like the color of the bulbs, rock, oranges, reds, greens but they tend to wash out blues and purples if that makes any sense.

you better hope he never gets the taste for zoas. I don't care what any one says. I would say 2 out of 3 that I have seen have been polyp pickers.

I love the reef octopus stuff. I have the nw200 (ancient 2yr old version) on my 150 and it's a killer. I know it's not the exact one you are looking at but from my experience with the octopus line (the store here in redmond runs them on their systems too) I'll go with them any day.

Oh and Daniel' date=' don't forget Rockb*tch(scary)[/quote']

 

(sick)(sick)(sick)(sick) how could I.

i love mudvayne, metallica, incubus, pantera, 3 doors down, buckcherry, system of a down, staind and all the classics like ACDC, guns and roses, aerosmith, iron maiden, black sabbath, zepplin and deep purple rock on!

 

but i do like green day and all american rejects..theres my punk lol

We cold swap mp3 players and we could never tell the difference. There isn't a single band that you listed that I don't like

I would like to know who buys this cuz while medred is kicking the seller in the nuts I'll kick the buyer in the nuts

I should set up an appointment so i can kick him in the n*ts for being such a crook.

(kneel) .........

YES TESTAMENT hahahaha mabey some Blind Guardian or Carcass!

They have probably the best drummer in the business. Look for "gene hoglan" on you tube and watch the fat sasquatch go!!!!!!! He's absolutely amazing.

I've got some rare white austrailian acro for 175/inch. I'm giving it away at that price.

it may not honestly. It looks like it has expelled all of its zooxanthellae and if it has, it will have a hard time surviving long term.

crocea don't go in sandbed either. You want a derasa or squamosa=) Question, have you added anything to your tank chemical wise??

mudvayne, slipknot, inimica (local band), cradle of filth, testament, static x, sabbath, pantera, down, I could keep goin too=)

4 or 5 of them. They are looking good.

GOSH I COULD USE THIS

My little tyree sunset. I always wanted one and finally got it.

barnacle blennies are awesome. I might also recommend tiger gobies or a yasha goby

hmmmm I like sargassum triggers and sohol tangs. Those would be my two favs. I also like achilles tangs but they can be very difficult
