tank looks fantastic! Which amino acid are you currently dosing?

Bblinks 07-02-2013 07:45 PM

Zeovit, love the product but hate the price. The reason I use it is to combat the paleness from running a lean system and for the most part it does a good job.

wow! Very nice. :-)

Bblinks 07-02-2013 08:33 PM

Thanks Kien. :wink:

Tank is looking nice buddy.... I am going through the same problem trying to keep up the big 3. I keep trying to top up the alk mg and ca but they keep dropping back down, I will get it stabilized soon. It's a matter of time but you must be flying through the bottles of the dry stuff for your size tank....

Will try to stop by later this week when the wifey working!

You should remove the "taking a break from the hobby" and put "back in full force". :mrgreen:

Hey Bblinks, fantastic tank there buds! Keep up the good work, I'm going to have to come over with a wad of $$$ once my tank is up and running. You can be my SPS dealer on speed dial!

xoticlover 07-05-2013 03:38 AM

Bro, After seeing you start with the 72 gallon bowfront and at that time I was envious, then the 210 which I thought was amazing, This tank is so awe inspiring. You have persued through alot of grief to achieve honestly the most beautiful aquarium I have ever laid eyes on. I dont know anyone that has a love for this hobby like you. After all these year of you talking about "canreef this" and "canreef that" I finally started to realize the awesomeness that it is. Thanks for all the inspiration and help over the years. I will come over soon with the kid and the wife and hang out.

If there is anyone out there using the algae grazer disks that are fed up with the suction cup holder, I have found that the disk fits perfectly on the 2 little fishes algae mag clip with the clip removed. I didn;t remove the clip on purpose but did managed to break a clip or 2. Here is a picture, just thought I share.

Ooo that's pretty cool, one of mine is on the verge of dieing so that's nice to know.

Got some Jebao pumps a couple of weeks ago, for the price you just can't go wrong.....unless if it catches on fire but I highly doubt it. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for an inexpensive alternative to the over priced units.


Also purchased a wave box, I give it a 3 out of 5 due to the bottom isn't exactly stable while the box is a inch awl, however the pump is still strong enough to push a good wave in the 300.

Spent 6 hours cleaning the frag tank. Man, what a pain in the rear but at least its decent looking again.

Please do, I would love to have you over......I hope you all the best with your surgery and a fast recovery so you can make it out to the frag swap.
