Sure it will Greg. I mix the ROX with Kent Reef Carbon (aprox 70-30) and it helps stop the clumping.

ROX0.8 is already in a pellet format. FWIW.

+1

Interesting. I have not had any issues with clumping with ROX. My only complaint with the stuff is that it's so small and lightweight, it works its way into the sponges of the reactor and thus when I change it out I have to spend a couple extra minutes to work back out of the sponge.

Dependent on flowrate through the reactor maybe?

Between the two tanks I'm running the ROX in a BRS reactor and a TLF reactor. There is no problem with the TLF; the BRS reactor however, does have clumping issues. It doesn't seem to matter what the flow rate, it still clumps. I give the reactor a shake every week or so and that seem to help, but it does require more maintenance than the TLF.

Well either way I will be getting some carbon in there ASAP and hopefully get another NextReef MR1 to run them in.

Kewl :cool:

Ah, interesting about the BRS reactor. I've only ever tried the ROX in a TLF reactor and then a MR1 on the bigger tank (bought it originally for pellets but it didn't tumble the pellets as nice as a Vertex reactor so it was just begging to be used for carbon - but it does seem to work nice for the carbon).

RC has a couple vertex reactors in atm.....but thats niether here nor there, what reactor you run it in..... just run it:razz::mrgreen:.......even just in a bag in your sump in the meantime, perhaps?.....

I am going to get some carbon, clean up my 2 - TLF 150's and get them in as soon as I can. I like the NextReef MR1 so far for my vertex pellets and would like another for carbon.

Just a few pic I took today while I was tinkering with my camera:

beautiful pic.'s the tank is looking good :biggrin:

Tanks Laurie, getting a little better with my camera & it's a good thing to cause my glass is getting so scratched up that it is really hard to get a good shot through it.

Your tank is amazing! Nice job :)

Why thank you I am glad you think so :biggrin: some days I wonder if I like it or not :twised:

Some really nice zoas you have in there I'm jealous! For whatever reason I had issues with many of the first round of zoas I tried but lately they seem to be thriving. Really dig the aussie elegance as well. I'll have to do some research on them but I do want one for the new tank. It's like a nem but without the evil!

Got a recent FTS?

Thanks Brett, I have lost a few zoas for what ever reason I don't know but some of them seem to be doing very well. I was unsure about getting an elegance myself for some time but when I saw this one at Wei's I couldn't resist especially for the price he gave it to me for. And I must say it is doing great.

No new FTS as of late because my tank is getting so scratched up that it doesn't look good at all. If I can manage to get the front glass clean I will take a few shots.

Alright fine but what about the replacement tank? What have you done with that piece of heavy?

Nothing as of yet with the new piece of heavy:lol: I have been working on the 116 gal ATM trying to get that done. Big tank might be on hold for a while as I have not been that busy.:sad:

For some reason the images don't show up for me on this thread. I did see the tanks in person though and am impressed with your many projects.
Can't believe the big tank is only a year old. Looking great.

Damn Photo Bucket!! My account has been down for over a friggin week & I am getting a little P.O.ed. It was great to meet you tonight Adam, you know where I am & how to get ahold of me so anytime you need some help or info just haller.:biggrin:

OK so finally Photo Bucket got there crap together so I can post a couple new pics.

The new Tennenti Tang, pic is not my tank but is the same fish.

This is an amazing tank, Just read all the pages..... Learned alot
And from one rod slinger to another..... Nice looking stands :)

Good 1/

Thanks for the compliment how you didn't get to bored, you probably learned a lot of what not to do :lol: I have made several changes since start up, bigger skimmer, dirrerent light, controller ( still needing a doser ), added carbon recently & going to add GFO, adding an ATO. All the things I have learned will sure help with the upgrade to the 300 gal coming soon.

Nice to see there is another rod slinger here, build many a stands all the time, nice and easy projects :biggrin:

Finally got my Blonde Naso that I have been wanting and waiting for .

Nice score Greg!

Thanks Tony, also found a really really nice Powder Blue a couple months back from a fellow reefer but haven't got a pic of it yet.

Really need to manage to get some pics of my Tangs. Here's a vid at feeding time tonight, can seen to get the vid to embed, any one know how to do it/

You don't even need flow in that tank so long as all your fish are moving their fins holy cow! Looks mighty impressive to see all those fish peacefully cruising the tank =)

That looks really well done bro, Cant wait to see what you do with the new one :)

A couple new additions

One of the 4 I picked up, the others are still spooked easy

my new MAXI MINI!!

http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/x...R/7ccc51d5.jpg

you got you sef a mini!!!!!....and a purdy one at that.......I like the duster too:wink:

Cool Grizz, where you in Edmonton recently? :biggrin:

The guy gets around! Nice scores =)

One of the other dusters is pure white, another is a all dark purple but I can't remember what the forth one was. I was in Calgary yesterday and just happen to stop at OC. I was just looking around at the seahorse's they had in the tank just inside the door & BAM!! There it was & $30 to boot.

A purple duster, that sounds neat! Please post a pic of it when it stops sulking or whatever..

Here's the white one, I am so glad these little fellows are some what cheap but I spent the $150 I collected from a stand :lol:

http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/x...R/0f5e8ca7.jpg

Here's the other 2

Really got to finish peeling out that Anthiena or what ever it's called.

That purple one is VERY cool!
