  1. i like them both but a heads up is you generaly want to go with higher flow corals and animals so that you can have a high flow tank this way you dont always have crap settle out on the bottom because if you dont you will be siphoning out small unsightly amounts of debree every few days.suspended particles to be caught by the skimmer and sock or particle filter are going to help alot for a bare bottom tank since you wont have the same micro fauna as you normaly would.

  2. you can never be to stocked up.when people start coming by every other day you may start to have a decline in corals.20 days of trading/selling corals in a month and you can go through well over a hundred frags and colonies and thought many of us can throw out that many frags and not have it make our sytems barren it is quite the recovery time unless you have some one who can get you transhipments.just saying...when you think your stocked stock some more.;)

  3. hey toad fish if you happen to swing through corvallis some time i can hook you up with however many heads you need.i have few types to choose from as well.i do trades if you have some goodies or i can take your monetary notes. :)

  4. i know corvallis is not the closest to you but if for some reason you come through this way i have a number of macros i can part with for free in addition to the chaetomorpha.i also love to trade and have a plethera of frags to go through,there is bound to be somehting you like.did i mention i also love talking the hobby.

     

    just throwing that out there :)

  5. i know i have to dose a lot for one of my 40 breeders.between 3 of my tanks i go through over a gallon of the 2 part BRS every mont and i wouldnt say i have a heavy stoney coral dominated tank.just sayin its not unusual to have to use alot of the 2 part if you have growing corals.

  6. i f i didnt have a copper system to put the rock in i would try a formalin/formaldehyde treatment or a small dose of bleach to treat the rock then resoak prior ro use for peace of mind.theoreticaly the parasite should already be gone.i am with noob as i have lost a couple systems do to such diseases. safe than sorry.

    just my two cents.

  7. the way you have your optics and lack of are you getting good spread?oh and this does look like it will be optimal and pleasing to look at:)doesnt get much better than this..NICE!

  8. not to stray from this threads initial subject but i am having a rather similar problem but was wondering what it meant if for some reason power to the area effected suddenly comes back on for a brief period of time then shuts itself off? thinking this could be a hazard while i slept i turned the breaker off.it was never tripped mind you.later the power comes on for a few seconds then off again.i check the breaker and it is still in the off position.i know nothing in the electrition department but i do know that this is not right.possibly dangerous as wouldnt this mean there might be some arcing or piggy backing power somehow from another line?also in the beggining of this thread reef junky stated that the breaker never tripped from the sudden blow out so to speak.that is not normal correct?

    Thank you in advance.:)
