What are the benefits of the biokit?

I know I saw it somewhere local rather recently, but I didn't check it out after I looked at the cost.

Thanks! It looks like it might be worth investing in.

Ok so I'm way further ahead then I should be but since there are a couple of others that are as well and they've posted pic's I'm going to finally download all the pic's I've been taking and update this thread already!

I should also add that I checked with my work (AI) and they should have the splitter and dimmer I need for the 2 extra led light strips I want to add and they are ordering the extra lights in for me

While I'm waiting for pic's to upload I'd thought I'd share a pic of my skimmate Not bad for a few days worth from a dinky airstone skimmer.

So I jumped in full speed ahead (like always ) and throughout the past 2 weeks I've added a few things. First I tired one of my maxi minis in the tank to see how it would do. I knew Steve from RCE was bringing more in and I wanted to make sure one did ok before adding more. Well it took forever to pry the darn thing off the rock (thought for I bit I might of killed it in my efforts to get it off) but finally it came off and I got it into the tank and it settled in just fine I also added a small clean up crew; 2 scarlet crabs and 3 nassarius snails.



then a few days after that I added a super cool porcelain crab (unfortunately he hides a lot and I rarely see him, I'm hoping he'll eventually host in one of the maxi minis)

They're tough little buggers. I've done that a couple times and they always fully recover. Love minis

Nope, he'll probably never host Laurie, he's the wrong type of porcelain crab. The only ones that will host are the white porcelain anemone crabs.
