used some of my E-Town credit for him ... he costed me a pretty penny, but was well worth it. he is already picking algae off of the rocks.

then you better start that tank up !!

matt guyver is that long text for Mgyver? So what your telling is you made it out of a paper clip & chewy gum?

Absolutely stunning Bobby!

I really like the remote DSB and the other custom additions you added and can't wait to see your frag tank take off. I wish I have more room!

**lReef lKeeper** · 01-26-2008, 11:24 PM

i have 2 more drilled 40breeders that are going to be added and separately filtered so i can still sell soft coral frags on frags.org ... i just have to pick them up and build a stand for them.

the RDSBs are a recommended replacement for a DSB in the tank. i love what they have done for my system !!

I have a spare salt bucket (yeah, only one) I was thinking about putting to use as a RDSBB (remote deep sand bed bucket). I think the bucket, filled with 6+ inches of sand should work well for me. What'd ya think?

**lReef lKeeper** · 01-26-2008, 11:54 PM

i say to fill it to within a few inches of the top, and the secret is to keep it from getting light. i use the tops of the buckets to shield it from light and SLOW FLOW through them. my buckets are both within a few inches of the top of the bucket and have a little less than 300gph running through each of them.

i got the idea from Anthony Calfo here ...

remote dsb

I guess I didn't realize you were using buckets for your RDSB. My tank doesn't measure any NO3, but I'm also not afraid of some algae growing in my tank. I wouldn't mind a RDSB helping keep the algae to a minimum though.

Hey Nay,kid...... I like the new avitar. What does it say anyway? Looks like Black Sabbath. You aren't that "young" are you? ;P

nay,kid · 01-28-2008, 04:52 PM

yes its black sabbath I'm a huge fan. I'm 32, Its temporary until i can get some shots of my tank up and running

well i updated my lighting this week !! and would like to post my experience with this online vendor here in my thread ...

i ordered 3 x 250w Coralvue electronic ballasts and 1 10k 250w Coralvue Reeflux bulb. TWO days after i placed my order, much to my surprise ... the package had ALREADY arrived !! EXCELLENT packaging !! EXCELLENT customer service !! i bet we spoke on the phone at least 10 times before i ordered (mostly for advise on what would be the best lighting for MY tank.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT ANYONE LOOKING FOR REEFING EQUIPMENT TRY HIS STORE ... Reef Specialty ... for above and beyond customer service.
