New reef in the works, 225g

I went with the black starboard also on my 190g - actually exactly the same as you did, cut in 2 pieces and from the cutting board factory. Like you say it soon gets covered in coraline and IMO looks better that say white which would also look dirty with live rock shedding etc.

Ruth, do you have any pics of what your starboard looked like in the beginning & now?

Ruth · #3 10-17-2006, 03:30 PM

I know I don't have any from the beginning and right now it is just - um purple - I think there is a full tank shot in my gallery or photbucket account. Not much to look at really.

Today I got an ozone reactor, air & water carbon filter from Marine Technical Concepts. It looks really good, well built. It allows me to use ozone without risking my Deltec skimmer.

You've got INSANE equipment! Especially for a new Reefer!

Yeah, I know. In the long run it should be cheaper to do it this way rather then to go inexpensive & continually replace equipment to get to this point. Of course, no one say I had to get to this point but past experience helps me choose my equipment.

Dave, it's not the having, it's the getting. If you do it fully, completely, and properly right from the start, you'll have nothing to look forward to.
