Thanks for all the compliments folks,

Aqua there is quite a bit of controversy over the use of DSB/ Mangroves but after setting them up I will never run a tank with out them. Even if there is no benefit they look amazing and create a great structural foundation for my pistol shrimp/ goby pair.

That being said, DSB's can give you some trouble as I just experienced (When they are mixed up they release some pretty nasty stuff into the water). Due to that I started running the NP bio pellets as a second source of N/P reduction and so far so good.
