Yeah I took it off as i found it sticking when trying to stir the zeolites, it works way better for stirring now.
I still dose outside the RX to get taken up by the pump.

oh yeah start3, I knew they were going to make this more user friendly,
start2 is pretty easy to overdose, the new biomate seems intresting as well.
I hope its avaible by the december holidays.

Here are two pics, one is a coral I recently picked up, it has a hystrix growing on its tip.

Hi, just tagging along! Love the tank man!

Did you ever end up deciding on what type of lighting to go with for your frags?

One more question, sorry to derail...I didn't see a fuge in your sump. Do you think they are unneccesary?

Hey John

All I can say is wow your tank looks great. This is the first time I see this
thread as It's been a busy summer and have not spent much time on canreef.

Thanks, I did kinda come up with a few ideas for the frag tank, its going to be ghetto for the next little bit until i can come up with something.
So for now its being lite by a viper 70wt MH, and a double hagen glo fixture.
well see how it goes for the next bit, but the curretn frags seem to be reacting positive.

yeah, there is no fuge, I am using the zeovit system and a fuge is not neccessary, I did use one in the past when not on zeo, and I felt that it did help, there were alot of pods and algae to take up nutrients.

I totally don't get this Alton/Polenta joke. Polenta is food?

I'm just pretending it's something perverted and I'm chuckling to myself here.

Alton is the MC for Iron Chef America, and I thought you would make a great MC, and yes Polenta is food.

And Soylent Green is people. Cool glad we got that cleared up.

Ok so I'm the nerdy dude on the iMac at the back of the studio commentating. I can handle that.
