I remember reading articles in the 80’s from him and others. There wasn’t much info on reef keeping back then and if there was it wasn’t easy to find. Now there is so much info at your fingertips it’s crazy. People like him were visionary’s in this hobby. back in the 80’s when I started in...

I would probably keep it going and even though I am building a scrubber myself, when my parts finally show up. I’m gonna keep my refugium going. it serves more purpose then just a spot to grow cheato. I have deep sand in mine and the cheato is a pod hotel. As far as auto water changes and 1...

I’m in Jackson and brick Petco is pretty close and is different then most. Andrew the manager there keeps the saltwater section there pretty darn respectable.

Looks great Dave Can’t wait to see the results wonder how much more efficient it will be over a pile of cheato

That’s what I was always lead to believe, never thought any different. I wonder if this is true do you see a growth spurt as you dose to bring down nitrate? I have to read more

Interesting I never heard of it put that way, maybe because I never used bio pellets or really even carbon dosed. I never really had the need. Now I have something else to research, thanks

Man that thing is tiny

So true Dave, to much time to much tinkering

Justin, if you get live rock you must do as amado did or does, it will need curing, it will have to be in a tank alone with no lights pump and heater for a long time, months would be acceptable. I know this sounds crazy but it will need time to break down and parasites to die off. Then you can...

I add bacteria on a regular schedule. special blend, dr Tim’s, vibrant. they are all good products there not going to change the world but I think they help. I won’t put rock from someone else’s tank in my system so it’s my best option. I have always done this and I can’t see any bad that can...

I had tanks that looked just like that in the late 80s and early 90s bleached white coral. Lol that was looong ago

Crap Dave hope it rebounds quickly.

What are you running in that hob filter?

Thanks sponge I was gonna go crazy with the edge as you said and knew I could get it smooth but I thought it was a lot of work thanks for the info. I still may do it although I really like the black coping look.
