been away a WHILE, but in a google search I turned up that Ben had been considering something back in 2008 that I am now thinking about.. ben .. if you're still alive send me a message!!!!

Thanks Law. BTW your prof pic looks like you got raptured or something haha.. B

Been a while since I was here, I know. A lot has happened... Remember the tornadoes a few months ago that tore through NE Alabama? Well It knocked power down for 5 days. Even with full time Vortech backup and a generator running half a day every day it was a lost cause. RTN set in .. and...

So.. its been a LONG TIME.. since then we had some really bad weather in Alabama, and I lost a LOT of coral :( I viewed it as a chance to kind of start over, so I redid some rocks and tried to save what I could. Here is a video from a month or so ago of the new rockwork. B...

LONG TIME since I've logged here.. ! hope everyone is doing great. anyway.. what are your exp with bio pellets? is it the next snake oil, or is it a valid means of carbon dosing? B

I try to keep algae down a few ways. I do have it, but it is the short furry brown stuff that only grows on the walls 4 some reason. But ur right as far as any other algae goes there pretty much isn't any. I have a tang who will absolutely destroy anything that remotely resembles algae. I...

I'm not sure I classify it as amazing quite yet :) but thanks a lot for your enthusiasm!!! Things are growing at a very quick little clip. this is the first tank i've had that i have to be careful where i put the LR because the corals grow to them and connect everything in a few weeks. B

awesome man.. im working on a new skimmer myself :) bit the bullet and went with a bubble king mini 200. should be here at the beginning of next week :) B

Hi guys. It's been a while, but I wanted to post a few pictures and details about my current tank. It is a 125 display. I'm running an Aquactinics t5 fixture over head, 2 MP40ws and am WAITING on my new skimmer (a Bubble King Mini 200!). While I wait I'm running a Euro Reef CS6-2+. I run a...

From what I have heard it is still the same guy. He is just doing it without his dad or something... not sure about the specifics. B

looks like an overall bad idea. the more government and "national" agencies have their hand in things the more they generally screw things up. B

gotta say thats pretty wiggy.. but he scares the heck out of me haha :)

If this tank is less than 4 months old or so It is most likely diatoms, particularly if it kind of looks like dust. If it IS DIATOMS just let it run its course. It will die off pretty quickly within a few weeks with decent husbandry. B

I have a Euro Reef CS6-2+ I'll sell you if you're interested. It will be MORE than enough for a tank that size. I have it on my 125 display at the moment :) B

hey guys. been here and there, just not here on my first home for reefing! how are your tanks doing? have you made any substantial changes to them? I've been beefing my tank up quite a bit with both corals and equip and will make sure to do a progression post soon. again, good to be back! b
