Cool, I will definitely check it out!

I'm surprised that even though you've picked up a few frags recently that there aren't any updates........tsk tsk!

Get off your lazy @ss and post some updates ASAP!!!

All right guys, just a little update while I am bored at work. shhhh don;t tell anyone Ken.

I have been running the system for a bit more then a month now, every thing is looking great. Lots of the sps are coloring back up again. I had a major alk dip just recently, it went from 9 - 5.5 in a little less than a week, I had to bump it up with soda ash from BRS, I guess its always good when the corals are using it up.

I also dumped my CPR refugium so to eliminate any chance of the thing getting stuck and flooding my floor again. Never again.

I did get a new toy last week.


Here it is running.

The Kalk stirrer is from Avast marine. I think its a replicate of deltec km500s, compare prices I would definitely get this over the deltec. I also bought an extra motor for 50 bucks just incase this one poops out.

Default Tank running for a bit more than a month

Here are some more pictures, sorry for the low quality pictures, I rather buy equipment and live stock then a camera.



Here is a video, crappy quality.

Cannot tell from your picture but it is a beautiful tank you have and very expensive too. Can you tell me more why it is special and what does DD means ?

DD stands for deep dimension, it's a factory marine land tank and they called it deep dimension due to the 36 inch depth. I am not sure what you mean by special but my wife did gave me the okay to upgrade. I thought that was pretty special.😃

Took you long enough to post updates!!!

Now I don't have to go over to your house to look for updates anymore. Haha!

About time you moved the Blonde Naso OUT of the BioCube! Haha!

Like I've said before............you have a little too much GREEN on the left side of the tank.

If you move some of those bad boys over to the right side, you'll have more balance of colours throughout the whole tank.

BTW, the tank looks like cr@p! I expected more from you.........



Haha Just kidding bud!

It looks awesome! I can't wait until you glue down some of the new pieces you've picked up recently.
